    The reason this game is only a 4 is that the technical issues including constant frame rate drops and connectivity issues & lag in multi-player (even though i'm on a 100Mb link) make this irritating to play.

    Give it a few months and I am sure it will be patched, but avoid until then.    … Expand

    Everyone's pretty much mentioned all the technical issues. I'm pretty sure the game was rushed because the optimization is terrible. Graphics aren't anything to write home about so I'm sure the game shouldn't be running so poorly on a 2080ti. I hope they fix it soon, who knows. So far it doesn't feel as good as 1 or 2, possibly a case of been there done that. Feels like I'm playing aEveryone's pretty much mentioned all the technical issues.

Basically a lukewarm response from me. Wait for a sale and patches if you want to play a new Borderlands story. If the game ran the way it should, I'd probably give it a 6 or 7, but for now...… Expand

    Игра крупнее, веселее и (внимание тофтолология) масштабнее. Новые механики, отличная графика (для стиля самой игры), интересный сюжет (лично меня захватило). Подкачали лишь два фактора:
    1) Эксклюзивность EGS.
    2) Оптимизация. Но снижать из-за этого оценку такой шикарной игре, ну как-то совсем по-варварски.    Игра крупнее, веселее и (внимание тофтолология) масштабнее. Новые механики, отличная графика (для стиля самой игры), интересный сюжет (лично меня захватило). Подкачали лишь два фактора:

    I honestly can't fathom how they think that having DRM that requires constant uploads to some third party website is acceptable, not only does it make the game run trash but it also trashes your internet

    Mayhem returns. Borderlands 3 received new worlds that are not similar to each other, received new gameplay mechanics, returned heroes from previous games and added new ones, but bad optimization, as well as not very good jokes compared to the second part, but I liked the game, new graphics more like a comic book, a lot of action. my verdict, I was not in vain waiting for this game.

    I don’t understand why there is so much hatred towards this game. Yes, the game has glitches, poor optimization (for some), but still the game is not so bad. Why do people underestimate the game because it will not be sold on Steam? After all, in fact, what's the difference where to buy and play the game ..

    Best game continue you could get! Fresh, new, beautiful, bringing all you loved polished and shining. It didn't transform in something different, it just kept what made it unique and pleasant and what people loved about BL 2. I didn't need a Battle Royale or Souls-like, I just wanted a new BL universe experience and enjoy new characters.

After reading the kids moaning about the platform its on, how it doesn't run smooth on their netbook and how its repetitive made me get defensive over such a good game. Honestly my specs are 2012 mediocre specs. Way below the min specs for this game, its crashed twice in 11 hours of gameplay, it sometimes gets low fps and my cpu occasionally makes the game stutter. I am very very picky with how my computer performs with games and often quit and wait it out until i can bother saving for a better pc. But this game is worth every fps drop, every freeze. It's completely worth it. Slight bugs and by slight bugs i mean you complete a mission, you done something a bit strange like open a echo right before a cut scene and your character is still displayed on the Radio com instead of the person talking bug. The worst bug was just before as i ran through an area i already cleaned out half hour before hand and they came through the sky again. And it really didnt bother me, i knew what happened next so i saw it as free xp. Yes the AI can sponge bullets but that's because the players aren't bothering with the side quests (WHICH OMG THEYRE SO GOOD, IM EXCITED TO COMPLETE THE GAME AND PLAY THROUGH THEM) which is what i done. Hell i mustve died 30 times on a big boss battle and it was frustrating but i eventually done it. It felt very very rewarding. The guns are just so so fun to play with. On borderlands 2 money was worthless and as soon as you got lucky with a gun it became boring. But because the AI do big jumps expecting you to go up a level or 2 each main mission, your weapons become useless and you start becoming a lootaholic. Then the frustration not being the right level comes up. What did I do? I done the side quests which again are amazing. Honestly the main enemies are very interesting, the enemies themselves have had a complete rebuff and the jokes in the game make me laugh. Borderlands 2 kind of over tried with jokes but they really took that into consideration. There's alot of puns from the old borderlands games, infact one really cracked me up. You complete a mission and everyones saying how nice a calm it is now and claptrap says "There's actually alot of rest for the wicked" and my god I died considering borderlands 1 got me into cage the elephant who made the opening song to the first game. I'm going on and on and thats because i could straight up talk about this all day I'm obsessed with it. I'd never pay £50 for a game, especially off a third party launcher that shares fortnite. But ofcourse im not waiting just so i can look down my nose at people who actually cared about the game. All the bad reviews I could disagree with completely. When they say repetitive they arent considering so was borderlands 2 when you had used most of the guns in the game. They are just angry they had to spend all their money on a game without checking the minimum specs required. It's honestly my favourite game and Iv'e been going through alot of phases of all types of games with completely different concepts but this game just ultimately relights the borderlands fire again which is what kept me playing it over and over until i just wanted to kill myself trying to kill that bloody Hyperion boss bot on bl2. I have something to keep me going in work, this game is just incredible. And I was fairly bored of borderlands too! Just the guns are so good, the players are so good. Im playing as zayne and you really need to take into account your strategy. Zayne has a shield and hologram, those two work together well. You can use them as time windows to shoot a hard boss. But if you cant be bothered learning new skills and tactics, getting satisfying kills with their new mechanics, weapons, bullet sound effects, skill upgrades and sliding around or free running/climbing to better positions. Then this game isnt for you. OVERALL This game requires patience and skill. When your getting shot at you crouch behind cover and keep a distance depending on your playstyle. Aim for crits. Dont run in guns blazing at a inconvient time. If you do that and rage that you keep dying saying how the game is awful because you cant aim or have patience to take cover and think of a strategy, then your lucky that fortnite is 4 clicks away.… Expand

    Eu simplesmente achei o jogo incrível, as músicas, as ARMAS, e o todo do game, tem alguns bugs em certos momentos do jogo e no multiplayer split-screen, mas no geral o jogo está ótimo. Como algumas pessoas estão dando zero só por estar sendo lançado primeiro na epic games, eu acho justo fazer o meu 9 virar 10

    BL 3 takes the best from BL1 and BL2 and adds a lot of new stuff. New improved graphics (new engine), new characters, old returning favorites, more bosses, more planets, more vaults, new gun mechanics and of course even more guns! Its still Borderlands, but if you liked BL2, you will like BL3!

    To everyone that's saying this game is just more of the same, they need to replay it. The polish on the movement, gun-play enemies, and environment are a huge change and deserve more credit. The story isn't too great, but the fun I'm having dwarfs the issues. Obviously the bugs and glitches in the game are problems, but if they are patched out this review should stick.

    Game runs completely fine on a budget AMD build with a RX 560 and Ryzen 5 2600. Still looks great even on low, running above 60 fps. A few hiccups every now and then but not to an annoying level. No bugs encountered. A solid FPS experience 20 hours in.

    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.
