    I have no idea why I keep seeing comments about the game not working. It has been flawless on PS4 I play with my friends every day with no connectivity issues. The gameplay is smooth and classic borderlands. The story is extremely long, 40 hours at least and with the side missions it is easily over 60. More game time for me I suppose.

I love all the additions from the skill tree action selection system to the customization with your vehicles. The small nods to the previous games are fantastic and will be overlooked by new comers. Ordinarily I would give it a 9, however due to the stupid reviews I have seen that have vastly underrated it. I will give it a 10 to rectify the score a bit.… Expand

    Больше 15 часов наиграл и всё никак не могу остановиться. Игра хороша, да она во многом правит ошибки предыдущих частей, но также имеет много нового.
    С самого первого запуска не испытал никаких проблем на GTX 1070, стабильные 60 фпс с приятной картинкой и быстрыми загрузками.

    Don't listen anymore to this review bashing, with their supposed "good arguments", optimization is quite good atm, some ppl are talking about lag with 1080 + some i7, i run with a 1060 at almost 100 fps in medium/high.

    The game is what we was waiting for, the jokes, the loots, the story

I've spent about 30 hours in the game so far, and right now it has been very enjoyable, the gun play is phenomenal, which should be expected from a Borderlands game, the new skill trees have a great amount of customization, as do the weapons, and the new locations are gorgeous to look at, even with the dated look of Borderland's cell-shading. However, the characters are, to me at least, the game's biggest flaw. This for me, is not new, I've never really been a fan of the characters or the cringe-worthy humor in the franchise, this game is no exception. Aside from the eye-gouging humor, inescapable dialogue, and bad villains, the game is really enjoyable, and like all Borderlands, is way better with friends. However FL4K is dope.… Expand

    Definitely a good game and has improved on some aspects of the previous Borderlands. While some things like the story and main villan are arguable better in Borderlands 2, Borderlands 3 vastly Improves on other aspects such as Action skills, gun variety and playable characters.

    I'm going to say that I like this game a lot. It's Borderlands, the series we all learned to love, and they even improved a few aspects of it. The loot is a lot better designed, it was good before, but now there is a lot more variation in what guns you get, I found myself very excited every time I got a new gun.

It feels like there are a lot more enemies in every area, but I also found that I died less, which means that the characters are a lot more powerful, and the guns do their jobs, which is killing things. I don't care about the controversy, so I'm just not going to mention it. There are bugs, I personally didn't get anything game breaking, really just some icons sticking around when they shouldn't, and some effects being weird, honestly it didn't bother me too much and I can totally wait until they are patched out. Another thing, I don't think my computer is particularly terrible, but I didn't get all new parts this year. so I wouldn't say it's a fantastically good computer, and my frame rate was fine. I got a few frames sticking, but they wouldn't stick around too long, and the game, for the most part, was smooth.… Expand

    To the butt-hurt children review bombing because of the Epic Exclusivity and complaining about the launch state, this does not warrant the 0-1 reviews I'm seeing across the page.

It's more Borderlands, but with    To the butt-hurt children review bombing because of the Epic Exclusivity and complaining about the launch state, this does not warrant the 0-1 reviews I'm seeing across the page. I personally played on console and experienced a decent amount of bugs and glitches, but that doesn't take away from the core gameplay experience.

    Borderlands 3 is great, why? It's more Borderlands, but with vastly superior graphics, gun play, weapon design, locations, and Jesus, dot even get me started on the loot. Yes, the writing is cheesy, but that's what Borderlands has always been. I highly urge you to go back and either play or watch some Borderlands 2, and you'll notice that besides for Handsome Jack the writing has mainly stayed the same. Borderlands hasn't changed, you have.

    As for the main villains, the Calypso Twins, yes, the villains are cringe and nowhere near to being as cool and charismatic as Handsome Jack, but that's to be somewhat expected when you created arguably the greatest video game villain of all time. I thought it was a pretty interesting concept the writers took with making Troy and Tyreen streamers who are on their 15th cup of coffee an second line of coke after four years of sleep of not sleeping. My issue is that Calypso Twins lacked that classic serving of Borderlands' parody that the series is so well known for. Instead, it felt like a bunch of suits shouting buzzwords to try and make these characters appeal to a younger audience, *cough* "Like, follow, and obey" *cough*. This did make me sad because I really do like the concept and story that these characters have, but its overshadowed by corporate mumbo jumbo.

    My biggest issue I have with this game is that the story, despite being good, it does not feel to me that Borderlands 3 has the replayability of Borderlands 2. Borderlands 2 I can look back fondly on and say that I loved going back to replay the campaign on all six characters, in 3 I honestly don't think I can entirely say the same. I did my first play-through solo, and will be doing my subsequent 3 with friends, so I can shoot the **** as I mow down CoV and Maliwan goons.

    Overall I had a fun time playing the game, I enjoyed the story, and loved the loot. Whilst not packing the same punch that Borderlands 2 managed to, its successor did a damn good job. Solid 8/10.    … Expand

    The map design ( NOT THAT TERRIBLE MAP IN MENU ) and design of the characters ( not only NPC's but playable characters too ) is entertaining to watch..

    The biggest pain in the ass is the map in the menu.. Its not like i cant navigate myself in there but compared to map in previous games, its awful.. Its pity the game has some issues bcs i was really excited about this game and hoping it will really come one day since we could saw opened-end of the pre-sequel...And here we are, the game is finally here but not in its perfection as it should be...

    I hope there will be at least some fixing-patch update, so i can fully enjoy the game...    … Expand

    Gearbox has a problem: the fantastic Borderlands 2 is too good to be beaten. But in the case of Borderlands 3, it is still more than a worthy successor. The filmmakers brought many pop-cultural references, maybe pushing too hard on how they want to be “modern”, but otherwise it's a great game again. [Issue#298]

    Borderlands 3 offers a generous experience, with colourful characters, neat gameplay and a charming universe. Its formula, very close to that of the previous episodes does not revolutionize the show but its small new features bring a little freshness and the scenario makes us want to go to the end of the adventure. Its dynamism and nervousness make it a choice piece for adrenaline-ready FPS lovers and license fans.

    The fun, humorous storyline, some great dialogue and theatrical accents of the diverse characters, beautifully varied locations and the same great gunplay that Borderlands is renowned for, means that Borderlands 3 becomes another must have title in the series.
