    Эту хмм, игру, хоть немного спасало только то, что я играл с друзьями. Предыдущие-то игры серии были не очень, но эта - просто дно. Даже с самого начала, на моменте объединения с друзьями в лобби, уже приходилось плясать и стучать в бубен, иногда даже друг другу.Эту хмм, игру, хоть немного спасало только то, что я играл с друзьями.

    I made an account just to explain what this game makes me feel.

    "HOW DO YOU DO FELLOW KIDS!!?"

    :is basically all this game makes me feel.

    Gameplay is fun. Writing ages me 20 years. Ava needs to go back into the pit where she belongs.
    Kreig disappoints me.

    Looks great, BUT NOT FOR RUSSIANS. After all, it is obvious to everyone that if you take away the ability to buy games from us, WILL THE WAR END? YES?
    Games should be out of politics, they are designed to relax and distract, which in our situation will be extremely useful. The only thing you will cause by canceling sales is self-hatred!

    Weapons from each manufacturer are more unique now. The game is still fun but marred by technical challenges - stutters everywhere, netcode is weak, and low FPS even in high-end machines. Forums are abuzz with players facing severe stutters.

    This game had great potential but it was ruined by 3 major issues: Lots of frame drops and crashes, doesn't get a launch release on one of the most popular PC stores (Steam) and employs bad humor filled with fulfilling the casual SJW/political agenda of genders.

    Well, I Hve mixed feelings for this one, but gameplay wise it was a vlast. Story.. Oh well bad and good at the same time. Antagonists are just iritating, companions are alright but hilarious. I hoped that there will be something more about weapons, like modifications or so which would be new to franchise. But still, it was Very good one.

    I will say that some of the criticism aimed at the game, i entirely agree with. The characters are annoying and the story is so forgettable i couldnt even tell you what happened. However, since when were people buying Borderlands games for the award winning story telling lol? Never. Thats when. Every story in the franchise thus far has been bad/forgettable and this game is no different in that regard.

    What this game does get more wrong than its predecessors however, is the characters and dialogue. It's super cringe and i MEAN super. Infact its so bad id almost recommend you just mute the game entirely and listen to music while you shoot the ever living poop out of things. You wont be missing anything worth experiencing if you do, and thats what i ended up doing after having my fill of the asinine writing and voice acting.

    Which brings me to my final point. The fact that i was able to mute the game entirely, yet still play it through to the end and have a lot of fun doing so, tells you something about the game and its gameplay. I have only ever really played borderlands because the gameplay loop is extremely satisfying to me, and its no less satisfying here. Infact its endlessly more satisfying, because the shooting and combat as a whole has been overhauled and boy does it pay off. SO much more responsive are the guns and shooting mechanics, the movement is sleek and fun where the previous games felt clunky and slow.

    As a game, Borderlands 3 improves on almost EVERYTHING in terms of gameplay over the previous titles. It also somehow manages to do all of the other stuff waaaaay worse than the previous games. But ask yourself this....

    Do you really care about the story or do you just want to shoot 5 acres of sh*t out of a good variety of enemies with an extremely good variety of guns?

    if the answer is "no i dont care about the story at all" then this game will not disappoint you and in fact will most likely leave you very happy.    … Expand

    Haven't addressed any of the issues present in the last 2 installments. The game is attempting to get by on name recognition alone while bringing nothing new or interesting to the table. The humor continues to be funny but no more so than watching a netflix comedy special.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Pros;
    - Gameplay has been impreoved upon massively since Borderlands 2
    - Looks great, even on lowest settings
    - World design is excellent
    - Extremely fun to mess around in and to farm gear
    - Playable characters have a great variety of abilities, very interesting to experiment with builds
    - The new ideas they came up with for gear are great, as usual a huge variety of gear
    - Mayhem modes add a new level of difficulty and rewarding game play. As well as boosted stats loot.
    - The addition of sliding and vaulting over objects is excellent and makes the fun movement even more so
    - Nice to see more vehicles added with added customisation

    Cons;
    - Abyssmal optimization, seriously **** garbage. The game runs so poorly it almost ruins the experience
    - Trash balancing of enemy damage. Badasses don't all need super OP rocket launchers capable of one hitting someone that has 36k hit points
    - Legendaries drop from anywhere in the game, not specific bosses. You can no longer farm for a specific weapon from a specific location. Not only that but legendaries are so easy to get that they become trash except for the very top tier weapons. Basically no point in using anything but legendaries past lvl 45
    - Story is seriously lacking. The main antagonists are obnoxious and just as one of them becomes interesting (right at the end of the game, I'm talking about Troy here), he gets killed and all the focus lands on his very boring sister. The twists aren't surprising or shocking, the deaths are lack luster and dissapointing
    - Eridium store is low effort and once you buy all the cosmetics there's basically no point to eridium unless you like playing the slot machine millions of times for trash loot
    - Side missions are extremely unalluring and I skipped most of them because A. I didn't need the exp B. They weren't funny, interesting or rewarding in any sense.

    I wanted this game to be good and in a sense, it is. However the story lets is down massively and the optimization really ruins the games chances of getting a higher score. This is coming from someone with over 500hrs in BL1, 600hrs in BL2 and 100hr in TPS. I still enjoy the game, because I no longer have to suffer through the story and I hope the DLC shows improved writing to keep me interested. NOT worth full price, wait for a sale.    … Expand

    Enjoyed all the previous games and played them in TVHM except the first.
    Main story seems longer but not funny, just more dramatic. it sucks really, worst so far (IMO best was presequel).
    Gameplay is fine just like before, only we can climb borders and that's it. Plenty of QoL changes.
    Larger and more vertical maps.
    Won't play again as I dislike how the story turned out.

    Not sure what it was about this game but I got bored with it very quickly, the same countless shooter looter kill and enemy loot them and compare gear...rinse and repeat. Not at all saying it's a bad game but just feels like more of what it was before and really nothing too spectacular that is new.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. I don't know what's the fuss about, in terms of gameplay and graphics isn't that much different of previous games (except for TPS). I don't understand either how on Earth this game demands so many resources (>= GeForce 1660, 6 GB VRAM for a game that looks like BL 1 ???) it still has screen tearing IF VSync is not set On and stuttering and un-rebindable keys. You morons, not every player uses the outdated WASD, SOME of them use TFGH (by far, superior to WASD!) with Y instead of E. In your crappy console-port Y is bound to Team Chat and cannot be unbound (and other keys too). Your game menus reek of putrid antiquated pieces of trashware scent, prev/next menu Z/C, LALT/CTRL, etc. Guys, you use to be PC gamers, what the hell is wrong with you, design your game having the keyboard and mouse in your minds, not that despicable device ever invented by man, the putrid controller. The PC is the most fascinating, reliable and powerful device invented by man, the keyboard has TONS of buttons to play with (not like that putrid and despicable controllers!), the mouse has pinpoint accuracy (and if it's a gaming one, well, hooah soldier!), its parts can be changed, interchanged, upgraded (if you like hardware tinkering!), the PC is FREEDOM OF GAMING AND MIND. Yet, you cling to those antiquated pieces of trashware AND you have the nerve to ask afterwards *very* powerful resources/rigs for a game which looks like its 2010 version (with small differences in lighting, some textures here and there, some shadowing, etc. *barely* noticeable in a fast-paced shooting).
    The Season Passes
    The Season PassES, because yes, His Illustrious Grace Gearbox pulled this card on the table, with *multiple* ones.
    This is by far, one of the most despicable business practice very similar to that of pre-ordering games. It's like paying whores multiple times in the brothel *before* "engaging" their Blazkowicz services. This despicable practice needs to die in miserable pain along with all developers that implement it. Until now, only His Pandoran Excellency Gearbox pulled this card on the table, I *really* hope that other developers will not follow this putrid scent.
    Once upon a time on Earth, if a game had been successful, it would have been followed by an expansion; nowadays they have the guts to ask in advance for their **** and also to be paid in advance for their **** extra private dances, because, you know, if there is a game, it has to be a DLC too.
    Lets now take a look at their older DLCs successes through the eyes of a game considered successful by some *very* vocal players (on youtube, flexing and showing-off how cool they are in killing some bosses on overpowered levels +72 ->80).
    What statistics say for Borderlands 2:
    1. "Better Than You Were" Reach level 10. Only 67% of players achieved this. That means 1 in 3 players gave up quite early.
    2. "Always Improving" Reach level 25, 40% of the players. Which also means that 6 out of 10 did not bother.
    3. "Cool Story, Bro" 32% of players, that means only 1 in 3 players bothered to finish the main campaign only.
    4. "Capped Out... For Now" Reach level 50. Only 17.3% of players, that means only 3 out of 17. 14 of them went to greener pastures.
    5. "Thresher Thrashed" Terramorphous the Invincible killed, 11%, that means only 1 in 10 players bothered with it.
    6. Completionist Completed all Pirate's Booty DLC side missions. 2.4% of players.
    7. Done That Completed all Hammerlock's Hunt side missions. 1.9% of players, I wonder what other 98 out of 100 players did.
    8. Make it Raaaaaid Vanquished the Ancient Dragons of Destruction. 5.4% of players.
    9. Spicy Boy Defeat Haderax the Invincible. 1.8% of players (!)
    How many players bothered that much to reach "Overpowered level 8", if barely 3 in 17 reached only level 50?
    Were those DLCs *that* successful, if less than 5% of players bothered with?
    This despicable practice of asking in advance for money 1. for unfinished and surely full of bugs products and 2. because "you know, we will deliver in 6-8 months some extra-content (aka 1-2 hrs max **** DLCs, or worse, extra characters to be played with)" should, I repeat, die in miserable pain along with all developers which implement it.
    Does ANY game need Season Pass? No.
    Does ANY game need Season Pass 2? Definitely no.
    Does ANY game need Season Pass 3? Definitely, definitely no.
    Shove all your Season Passes in your throats, by the time you end up publishing your marvelous DLCs which no one cares about, your game will have collected a lot of dust on Steam servers.
    You can easily bundle all your **** DLCs along with the main game into some *unique* GOTY edition (as it was up to 2010, 2011!) without splitting and chopping the content into Deluxe, Gold, Ultimate, Spectacular, Whatever Edition and having the nerve afterwards to ask money for Season Pass 2, 3 and so forth.
    PS. Statistics pulled from Steam achievements. I'm pretty sure that Epic achievements will fall into the same ballpark.    … Expand

    About the only thing that warrants critique is performance.

    -More randomized loot

    -Massively improved graphics compared to the previous games.

    CONS:

    - Story is ridiculously low effort. It doesn't hype you into going through the content enthusiastically, but rather, you're just wondering when is it gonna end already? Villains are extremely underwhelming and they are more of a nuissance rather than someone you just can't wait to get rid of, like Handsome Jack . Main story characters have had a lot to suffer too. Most of them are underused and have no real impact on the story in most cases. You barely have an impact on the story yourself, by just randomly being forced to watch cutscenes that you expect to be a part of, since you're there, but instead you just watch your friends being hurt, while the game pretends you're not there. This reason alone discouraged me from replaying this game on New Game +.

    - UI is much clunkier and unresponsive. You may end up accidentally selling your weapons just because the UI is buggy when you're selling weapons. You may also end up getting lost on the map, due to the multiple floors colliding into each other. Overall, there are many more clicks needed to accomplish the same menu actions, that were straight forward in Borderlands 2.

    -Even though maps are bigger, they also feel emptier when it comes to things to do. There are definitely less side quests than BL 2.    … Expand

    Borderlands 3. What a time to be alive.

    I really enjoyed the first Borderlands game. I thought it was a great mix of looting, humour, grinding, and cartoony looks. It wasn't perfect; the AI sucked, the looting was hit-and-miss, and the endgame was like a bad Crysis fanfic. Then came Borderlands 2. It was mostly the same, the characters had somewhat been Flanderized, Claptrap wasn't    Borderlands 3. What a time to be alive.

It was mostly the same, the characters had somewhat been Flanderized, Claptrap wasn't quite as funny, but it was a snappier, faster experience. The new guns were cool, slag was clever, but the leveling curve had some issues. Badass enemies weren't usually the "fun" type of challenge.

    "Bullet sponges, bullet sponges everywhere" - Buzz Lightyear
    The Pre-sequel? What's a pre-sequel?

    Seriously though, B3 is an improvement over the Pre-sequel, but I'm not sure it's that much of an improvement over B2. It looks better than previous games, but I don't think the visuals have really scaled up that well. Gameplay hasn't changed, AI still sucks, looting feels even worse this time. There's so much loot, every battle there are dozens of guns lying around. There's no point in picking up a white or green weapon, ever, because there are always at least 2 blue ones from any fight. I dunno, I'm not sure what the point is anymore. The download is about 100 gb, B2 was less than 8 gb, what am I spending my bandwidth on? The game's not 12.5x bigger and better, I just don't know what all the bloat is for. Isn't Elden Ring around 50 gb?

    I do prefer the leveling curve compared to B2, so at least there's that, and enemies are way less spongy than in B2. The voice acting is still good, but the characters aren't quite as memorable. Presumably after the "failure" of Pre-sequel, management decided to bring back more of the original cast to pander to the fans, but I think it's a detriment to the story. The game tries to shoe in so many people that we don't really have time to stop and engage with them. As soon as a chapter's done, their 5 minutes of fame are over, and we get some new faces for the next chapter. Unless they're from the previous games, like Lilith, Hammerlock, and Tannis, those guys are around for the whole game. But I don't have to build relationships with them, those already exist. So I don't get a chance to build anything new and meaningful; it's either nostalgia or relationships too shallow to be interesting.

    The game's also pretty buggy. I've had my mouse stop moving the camera and instead just act as a pointer on-screen during the game. The map is pretty buggy, sometimes I can't zoom or scroll or pan, and when I try to pan I end up fast-travelling by accident. I guess these are mouse-specific bugs, maybe it's not an issue with a controller. Alt-tabbing makes the game crash way more often than it should, and sometimes it even causes the game to switch screens in my multi-screen setup. Some bullets would occasionally be invisible. The game also crashes every now and then, citing memory location errors. Receiving a Teams call also closes the game outright, just don't tell my boss.

    Anywho, if you can't get enough of Borderlands, then you should get Borderlands 3. If you feel like you want something new from Borderlands, don't get Borderlands 3. If you want to get into Borderlands, save your bandwidth and cash and get B2.    … Expand

Да в пресиквиле столько же нового, сколько и в 3 борде. Новые планеты - пустышки. Персонажи, которых мы любили и за которых мы переживали, либо слили (Например: Мая, Лилит), либо превратили в пустышек (Зеро, Маркус, железяка). Новые персанажи либо говно редкостное, либо их сразу сливают (Первый искатель хранилища например). На вопросы, доп. раскрытие старых персанажей положили болт. Нам так и не рассказали ничего про Зеро, Афину, Эридианского наблюдателя из концовки пресиквела. Просто паразитирование на знакомых образах. Единственный, это графика, и шутерская составляющая. К сюжету имели дело люди ни как не связанные с серий игр Бордерлендс. Главные антагонисты скучне раздражающие олигофрены, да на Красавичке Джеке было сделано 3 блять игры, и он себя не исчерпал, и те побочки связанные с ним и с ангелом меня заинтересовали больше, чем ебаная ученица Маи.
    Вывод: Если вы заурядный игрок в игры, и вам нужен несильный шутанчик с каким-либо сюжетом, или вы поверхностно знакомы с бордой, то эта игра с лихвой покроет ваши ожидания. Но для любителей и фанатов серии, игра не оправдала доверие, которое борда накапливала многие годы.    … Expand

    Borderlands 3 really should have been great , and i will say i enjoyed the game it does a lot right but for everything it dose right there is 2 missteps and by the end this game just felt like a mess , an enjoyable mess but i mess nonetheless , I am a huge borderlands fan and first i wanna say that its evident that gearbox is frustrated they are only human after all but very frustrated.Borderlands 3 really should have been great , and i will say i enjoyed the game it does a lot right but for everything it dose right there is 2 missteps and by the end this game just felt like a mess , an enjoyable mess but i mess nonetheless , I am a huge borderlands fan and first i wanna say that its evident that gearbox is frustrated they are only human after all but very frustrated. this is a criticism not a hit.

    Story: the biggest disappointment of this game is the story, its terrible we all heard about how awful it is, i feel bad for who had to write this following up borderlands 2 witch had one of the greatest villains of not just the borderlands franchise or hell even video games but of all time handsome jack that would have been hard, tyreen and troy are well boring and stupid , i liked that the villain was a siren 2 sorta , the fact that troy was a siren as well only because they were twins made sense to me i liked that little detail, she can steal peoples power . but they don't feel like people they feel like bad guys , jack might have been the bad guy but he was a person first. that's also my main problem with this EVERYONE IS TERRIBLE its like everyone is a charactachur of their former selves 1/6th of the way in i thought they were gonna find some way to throw all this violence in my face tell me im a terrible person PULL A FREAKING SPEC OPS could have made the games story memorable but it just didn't. the most shocking part is that nothing shocked me
    Story 2/10

    World building: the second biggest disappointment was the world building , borderlands 2 was nuanced and the world was packed this is why i loved doing the side quests in BL2 It always had some hidden little detail about its characters or its world behind them, hammerlocke being gay, all the vault hunters moments they decided to go to pandora, roland and liliths relationship , tiny tinas parents I COULD GO ON but i won't ........DIGNITY I ALMOST FORGOT DIGNITY. they butchered the sirens making them a massive plot hole instead of a creative bit of lore , what happened to every other vault hunter but zero and maya ? how many vaults have been on pandora again ? like 4 ?
    Worldbuilding 6/10 i was frustrated but the world isn't flat like other games so ill be lenient

    Graphics: well i mean its stylish , bl2 was a huge improvement from 1 but 3 feels like a couple baby steps forward but forward nonetheless , this game looks good especially with all the different locals on single biome planets , its more like the tech caught up with the style , this game will never look bad BUT i think the lazy map design really hurt this game , a lot of the world is just flat empty ground i think that arena style places would have been best in this type of game especially given the gameplay. i remember not being very impressed by the leaked tech demo 2 years ago but i see now that it was just pandora that looks bad even though it has many different biomes they could have used but the went with its wasteland
    Graphics: 7/10

    Gameplay: THIS is the best part of the game , the new vault hunters slap , they are so much fun kudos to gearbox a mech soldier is exactly what i wanted even though i didn't know i did, guns are a delight to shoot even the basic ones from the start and the further into the game you go the weirder they get , a gun that shoots cheeseburger BAM , a gun thats shoots sawblades with dynamite BAM because of the comic book style these don't feel like stupid gimmicks they feel like natural parts of the world as well tying all of the weapons into the lore among the different behaviours the manufacturers comply too and seeing these different super companys in game is a treat. the new movement mechanics are great sliding and the vaulting made me run around and use more strategy in the early game. my problem how ever is this game doesn't work i encountered countless bugs , glitches , frame rate issues and crashes it was incredibly frustrating even after iv updated my drivers , fiddled with settings and got it working it only works for about 3 hours before my frames DIP hard and loading screens become unbearable , when the game works how ever its exactly how id want bl3 to play and is a great load of fun
    Gameplay (when it works) 8/10

    Sound design: Im running out of letters to use so crash course
    MUSIC: when it plays GOOD
    Voiceacting: some good , some bad , some AWFUL like the villians clearly no one had fun recording their lines unlike in bl2 , thought moxxi had a different va all together
    SOUND EFFECTS: GREAT guns sound great skills sound great , jumps HURSSS and melee all great
    Sound design: 7.2/10

    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.
