I also am not a fan of the new matchmaking system not letting me pick a lobby but that is a small complaint.

    This feels fresh without straying away from the greatness of borderlands, good job on this one.    … Expand

    My english is really bad, but as little tip, i sugges ignore comments or ranks with 0 score, i can bet these guys or fake accounts not play the game and just comment for hate.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. This is a great game do not listen to review bombers. some people will consider me a "fanboy" but seriously the game runs good on my pc, ive encountered very few bugs in my 20+ hours of play and bugs that i did find were very miniscule and had no effect on gameplay, and the gameplay is a perfect sequel to the previous installments, with all kinds of crazy weapons and builds. only true issues are DirectX12 and the DRM, and anyone who is saying the game is boring or lame obviously did not play very far, because getting into the game you will soon notice that it is a great sequel which improves on most if not all elements of the previous games such ass combat, environment and versatility of the games various landscapes.… Expand

Small bugs are 100% common in new games without betas and will most likely be fixed. The game is a great sequel to Borderlands 2. The new Vault Hunters are sick, and way more balanced than in Borderlands 2. The new villains are great and funny, but they are not as good as Handsome Jack. The games new and improved Co-Op mode makes playing with friends even more enjoyable than it was in Borderlands 2. When it comes to story the game nails it. The game brings back many loved characters from the past, and makes them even more lovable. The feature of multiple planets is amazing. Going from the boring deserts of Pandora, to the Utopian city of Promethea makes the game feel like a whole new experience. The guns in this game are the best guns have been in Borderlands. Having a gun that walks around and kill enemies, a gun that shoots guns, a gun called the Buttplug, and many fan favorite returning legendaries such as the Conference Call, Infinity, Lyuda, and the **** make this games weapon system the best. The humor from the past Borderlands games is definitely not gone as my friends and I constantly found ourselves laughing our asses off throughout the main story. And for you review bombers, go **** yourselves and just because a game is not on steam and you can not get over 100 FPS with your piece of **** PC does not make the game bad. I would definitely buy this game as a new comer to the Borderlands franchise, or veteran like myself.… Expand

    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!

    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.

    Negatives: Game needs a few patches, graphics driver updates, epic exclusive for six months.

    Positives: Story, gameplay, guns, parkour, sliding, characters, boss fights. Tons and tons of loot.

    Ignore a lot of the crappy reviews that are more just making stuff up to fulfill a bias against the game for running only on the Epic games store. Microtransactions, atm, are not even in existence outside of the season pass. The epic store exclusivity has no baring on the games quality.

Microtransactions, atm, are not even in existence outside of the season pass. The epic store exclusivity has no baring on the games quality.

    As far as the game goes, it's ok. Clearly there was some shady **** going on with who got review copies, and the copies they DID get, were either not played in online co-op, or using very early builds because none of the reviews talk about the myriad of technical problems this game has.

    The good:

    The game is fun. These are probably the best, base vault hunters the series has seen, which exude a lot of personality and actually interact with the story. A lot of returning characters have more personality as well, and play a bigger role in the story. Each of the vault hunters have various customization options in their play styles, as well as customization. Probably the best the series has ever seen. The story is pretty good, while the villains don't quite reach the same highs as Handsome Jack. They're serviceable, interesting at times, and still better than the first game or Pre-Sequel. There are so many quality of life improvements that it feels so much nicer than previous games. The game is incredibly fun and, while non borderlands fans won't find much to enjoy here, fans who were looking for more Borderlands, will.

    The bad:

    The game is LOADED with technical issues. DirectX12 causes severely long load times and frame rate issues, the game has crashed on a 2 friends, both of which have pretty good PCs. Even the highest ends pc's will still see frame rate drops, lag, and apparently the game has a constant online drm that sucks up 2mb/s of upload at all times, spelling trouble for some people who may want to stream the game but don't have amazing internet. There are various workarounds to get some slightly better performance, but it's inexcusable that these are even needed, and not even guaranteed to even work. The story, while interesting at times, can also be pretty predictable. Certain moments in the story we've called out the second the villains showed up, or the second a character starts talking in a particular way. While the fan service in the game is strong, the game is fun, and very entertaining, it may be better for event the most excited vault hunters, to wait on this game until a patch roles out to fix this god awful performance problems, mostly on PC. Consoles are suffering some of the same issues, but at least everyone on console is getting the same experience, whereas it varies machine to machine on PC. Wait for a patch to get the all clear on the game.    … Expand

    The game is awesome. If you like BL2 you will like BL3. BL3 is not a huge departure from BL2 and this is good because 'If it ain't broke, don't fix it'. I am looking forward to spend hundreds of hours exploring this game when some so called "gamers" will wait for six months to get it on Steam and support Valve ridiculous 30% cut Developers deserve to keep more profits so good

    If you want to feel like a badass, exploding, shooting, beating the crap out of people, this is the game for you, and so are all the previous borderlands games.

    I would recommend this to everyone who loves 1st person shooter games, as borderlands offers something unique to it, something that other 1st person shooter games dosen't. And im sure they will keep making new content for the game in a long time, as they did for borderlands 2.    … Expand

I truly believe there are over a billion guns just because of the almost complete lack of uniformityamong weapon types.All-in-all it is stupendously fun.

    But, this game has gotten severly review bombed. Personally I have absolutely no problems with performance. It holds 50-60 fps while at medium-lowsettings on my D Fx - 8320 and my gtx 970. My only thought on this is that some settings might be tailored to AMD processors because AMD immensely supported this game, so work with your settings if you use intel. Also, the comedy is kinda not for everyone but I sure as hell enjoy how it went for the more bl1 dirty-shock then bl2 crazy-shock humor. And finally, the story is the strongest story I've seeb in a borderlands game (not saying that much but still quite good). So please look past the dumb reviews most just have the -tism.    … Expand

    About halfway through the game, and I can confirm the game itself is very fun. My only criticisms would be that the humor is a huge step down, and the performance issues and bugs are...bad. That said, even in this state, the game does not deserve a '0'. What a joke.

    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.
