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

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

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

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

    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

    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

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

    And that's what the game is supposed to be.

    I can't speak for anyone else, but I like Borderlands 1 and Borderlands 2 and what I wanted from BL3 was an evolution of the experience that those games gave and in that respect Gearbox has delivered in spades.

    Graphics are solid, even playing with only medium-to-high settings on my gaming laptop.
    Audio is phenomenal, you really feel the explosions and gun firing, and the music, as in past Borderlands games, is awesome.
    Story is....well, a typical Borderlands story, which means it's often ridiculous and full of cheese.

    I have found vehicle control and combat to be superior to past iterations of the franchise, with a really tactile and enjoyable feel to it.

    Combat on foot is like all of the past games, with the addition of a lot of new, cooler weapon, shield and grenade effects. Guns feel great later in the game, though it does take some levels to get to that point, as in past games, but all of the new types of equipment effects really make even the early game feel fresh for someone like me who was still playing BL2 until this game released.
    Melee attacks also feel more satisfying then I found them in past iterations of the game.

    The user interface is also more "modern" feeling than BL2 and, at least for me, is less finicky then BL2 (BL2 inventory management remained janky for me even after all patches for the game were released). The addition of a hotkey to mark something as junk or favorite in BL3 especially is something I am most appreciative for.

    Overall, if you enjoyed either Borderlands 1 or 2, you will most definitely also love this game. It's worth the buy...even worth installing the Epic Store to buy it (something i had been avoiding up until now).    … Expand

    Вопрос: Школота которая жалуется что в игре проблесмы с производиительностью, Epic Games и так далее.
    По поводу производительности. У меня стоит 750ti с 4гб памяти.расходуется до 3х, в среднем 40 кадров на средне низких. В чем жалобы? У меня игра идет с нормальными кадрами (ощущается комфортно и без проседов ниже 30). Это при том что карта уже устарела и годится разве что в офисы. Скачают игру на картах 10 летней давности и начнут ныть что игры не идет и плохо сделана. Или по поводу тех у кого 1070-1080. Какого года карта? На каких настройках вы играете? (играют на ультра с 2-4к). Покупайте норм железо если хотите гейминг 100 фпс на 4к с ультра настройкаи.
    Про Epic Games. Вы готовы заплатить за игру в два раза больше( чтобы игра для Gearbox окупила затраты на продажу в стиме)? Да вы так жидите 2 тысячи на покупку игры. При том что игра просто огромная. Чтобы иследовать весь мир неизвестно сколько нужно. И это на первом прохождении (на 2м открывается немного другой геймплэй)..
    Еще мне кажется что большинство критикующих даже игру не покупали. Большая часть критикивылилась от 13-14 сентября. Сколько за день-два можно пройти? Или не читать лор, или даже Пандору не пройти. В первом случае они просто пропустили игру, а во второмпрошли только обучение для новых игроков.

    You got Co-up campaign, both online and via LAN, you got Boss hunts and even a Slaughter everything that comes at you mode in a group.

    Borderlands 3 is sadly not without bugs and has some annoyances as well. Most bugs I have encountered was in the Circle of Slaughter mode, where 3 out of 4 matches bugged out in the final match and couldn't be completed, which meant you couldn't complete your quest and got no rewards other than drops from the match. Why it bothers me a lot is a match can take between 30 min to 1 hour to complete. So ending up with a bugged out mess really gets on my nerves.

    Picking up gear and weapons feels slow, and fx there's an ability that spawns health or shield for you but you have to go to it and press E and in the heat of battle that just does not work very well. If it was instant picked up on an approach that would work much better. Some quest is not intuitive to find out where you need to teleport to and the map rotation was really really slow for me. It was confusing to me that the big map turned around. I could change the small map to stand still but not the big one.

    In the pre-release hype I decided to play through Borderlands 2 as it has been such a long time since I played it, and 3 is essentially more of the same.
    The humour is okay, some jokes hit, some miss but I found that to be the case in 2 as well.

    Where this game excels is the variety of weapons and how they perform. The feedback from hitting targets is more satisfying than ever.

    There are some reports of technical issues, I've had a couple of frame drops in really intense gun fights (PC - RTX2080 - Maxed out settings) but I'm stable 90% of the time and today I had a weird bug where my screen went black, but walking backwards out of the area somehow fixed it so nothing major or game breaking, but that's just my experience.

    I was reading reviews on here the day of release giving it a 0/10, stating that it's littered with micro transactions and the story is poor, these are fake reviews with the intention of lowering the score, I have not found any microtransations in 17 hours so please don't take those or even this review at face value, have a look at some content on YouTube and make your own decision.

    A lot of the negativity is from people who are salty they can't play the game because they've decided not to buy from Epic

    Maybe wait a few weeks and see if the performance issues are sorted, as I said, I've not had a bad experience but that's not to say you won't. If you are desperate to play it, go for it, it is a really good Borderlands game with what I think is the most important aspect, gunplay, at a series best.    … Expand

    The gun play and movement and general quality of life improvements between Borderlands 2 and 3 are fantastic.

    Because this game is FUN. And we just come home from work and play it till like 2AM.
    The skills are fun, the jokes are fun and OH MAH GOODNESS, THE GUNS ARE FUN.

    I won't say that the BL3 is innovative, its not. But it has the right chemistry of a great co-op game; competitive, cooperative, funny. BL2 was awesome story-wise, but there i rarely switched guns.
    BL3 may not feature such amazing antagonist, but damn, it gets you into this satisfying dance of destruction.
    Hit that free digi-printed RPG from underslug rail of Vladoff. switch to bouncing Hyperion smg to stutter the enforcer so he'll lower his shield, finish with Torgue shotgun by sticking a bunch of gyrojets onto his face, hitting R and just enjoy the fireworks.

    To all the people scared about fps stuttering - DX11 and disabled volumetric fog will give you 60fps on a mediocre rig (I play on 1060TI and low tier i7) for now.

    They will fix this, remember the rage about Diablo 3 at launch with constant Error 37?
    Peope went ape-sh*t crazy, menacing with law-suits, torch mobs and homicide / suicide. And in a couple of weeks everything was resolved.

    Of course it is their fault for not optimizing the game, but I think that in a month or so 80% of performance issues will be solved.

    FPS can drop a bit when in 4 player mode and a lot is happening but other than that I haven't had too many problems. (Running a 1080Ti and i7700K at 3440 by 1440 normally around 90fps with a mix of med and ultra settings).

    *Also to add one thing, I am very happy that they did not jump on the live service band wagon and stayed true to what the series was about. Also people the complain about Microtransitions being everywhere... there aren't any yet so your bias is showing =p

    Overall it's a great game and I can't wait to play more and with more characters.    … Expand

    I have read many of the low reviews for this game and some of them present genuine problems, most of which i disagree with but i'm not going to argue with because people are allowed their opinion. However i feel like judging the game based on the Epic Games and Randy Pitchford controversies is a bit unfair. Also when i first tried to run the game (about 15h after launch in my country) there was already a small update which i can only assume fixed the frame rate and other problems people are complaining about (most of these reviews are on day one presumably before the update) because the game runs smoothly for me.

    Now to talk about the actual game. i've played about 10h at this point and i can honestly say that i have loved it. However i do think that i should mention that it is very similar to previous games. if you didn't like Borderlands 2 you probably wont have different opinions about this game. i first played Bl2 just before Bl3 was announced so unlike many fans i have not completely exhausted this type of gameplay. So then i guess it feels more fresh to me than it may to die hard fans. The gunplay feels rewarding and satisfying, the comedy... okay the comedy isn't as good as it was, but its still apparent when compared to almost any other game. The skill trees definitely give you more to look forward to with the augments (I've currently only played Zane), and the vault hunters themselves (Still only played Zane so I'm hoping it's the same with others) seem more interesting as there are a lot more moments of dialog which all feel more unique to the character making them (him) feel more alive.

Gun-play feels much more fluid and the auto collect of ammo, mantling, power sliding and superhero landing melee attack fit in well. The Ai has improved, the landscapes are beautiful and the ability to port directly to your vehicle or fast travel point from anywhere saves a lot of legwork. Many of the boss fights require tactics which is really enjoyable to work out.

Since your opinion worth as much as pile of **** You know, there is no microtransactions in the game. Completely.
    It's a solid experience in the looter shooter genre, from the series that created this exact genre. Destiny, Division, Warframe, Anthem - every single game in this list exist because of Boarderlands. And every other looter shooter that will come after will exist for the same reason. Now, what about game? It's **** amazing. Obviously not a single game come without issues, but if you are fan of BL1 Bl2 and may be even BL Presequel - you have to play it. And i promise you, that you won't be disappointed. Gameplay is on completely another level in compare to last games. Especially GUNPLAY. All i can say about gunplay in BL3 - is that it's as close as it gets to the best gunplay in the genre - Destiny 2. Borderlands never had this. Sometimes gunplay in BL3 even completely goes over Destiny 2 level. So it's just outstanding job by devs. Sound design is abosolute marvel. Music - oh boi, you won't forger this.. Lot's of people talking about technical issues. That is something you can't deny for now. But i guess i am just a lucky one.

    Минусы:
    Самым главным минусом является оптимизация игры. Игра очень странно себя ведёт на самых различных конфигурациях системы, что проявляется в частых падениях ФПС. Помимо оптимизации, игра на выходе страдает немалым количеством багов и неровностей, но надеюсь, что разработчики скоро всё уладят. Так же многие считают минусом то, что игра издается только в Epic Store, но я не считаю это проблемой, да здесь иногда не хватает некоторых вещей, которые есть у Стима, но ругать игру из за этого это глупо...
    Подводя итоги, можно сказать, что у разработчиков получилась отличная игра, с прекрасным сюжетом и увлекательным геймплеем, теперь остаётся ждать патчей, которые добавят оптимизацию, и исправят ошибки.    … Expand

    Randy Pitchford made us a two word promise when Borderlands 3 was announced: "More Borderlands" Did Gearbox fulfill that promise? Absolutely. I have absolutely zero reservations about giving this game a perfect score, and I'm only about a quarter of the way through the first play through. From the poop and sex jokes to the comic-book art to the absurdity and general nonsense, this game is everything that the last three Borderlands games have been. That's all that was promised, and that's what was delivered.

    Disclaimer:
    For a certain type of gamer, especially a certain type of FPS player (looking at you, Call of Duty), the Borderlands series will never be satisfying. It glitches. It lags sometimes. The weapons are sometimes useless due to some weird gimmicky projectile even though the stats are great. The skill trees and class mods require things like planning and strategy. Borderlands 3 would be easier for a Dungeons and Dragons player to pick up than a Battlefield player. It's an FPS for RPG players, Borderlands 3 has more in common with Diablo 3 than Battlefield 3, right down to the inside jokes and loot goblins.

    Technical Review:
    DX12 support is listed in game as being in beta. Obviously, that means don't use it if you aren't prepared to drop all your settings. I have a Titan Xp, and on DX11, I'm running the Badass settings at 2560x1600 and getting 50-60 frames. I get 60 by dropping down to Ultra, and occasionally it'll drop some frames during a particularly intense mega battle, but otherwise it's pretty good. This is way better than I expect from Gearbox in general (no offense, but polish isn't their strong suit), and especially for a game I started playing on Day 1. Borderlands 1 still has major glitches and severe crashes as of the last patch (map-diving and infinite loot and etc). Borderlands 2 never quite got to flawless but the glitches never really broke the game. Borderlands 3 hasn't given me a single issue in 20+ hours of play so far except that one time I tried to use DX12. No crashes, saves always load right, etc. Sometimes the subtitles are a little delayed? Sometimes I get a mission vehicle stuck in a tree from doing stupid jumps and have to walk to a Catch-a-Ride to respawn it? Could be a lot worse for Day 1 launch (looking at you, Mass Effect: Andromeda).

    Gameplay:
    It's Borderlands. More Borderlands. More guns, more missions, more world(s), more dialogue, more story, more impactful scenes (I cried twice already for real). There's suspense, there's excitement, there's moments of redemption and moments of tragedy. There's also a mission to make a bomb shaped like a pizza, a rocket launcher that launches raw sewage, characters that wouldn't be out of place in one of those weird edge-lord Marvel experimental studios, and CL4P-TP. So much CL4P-TP. The Lost Loot Machine on Sanctuary is great; forgot to grab a blue or purple or orange item? The machine will pick up the rarest item you left behind, and SDU upgrades let you expand the lost loot capacity as well.

    One of the biggest changes over previous Borderlands games is that your weapons now require planning and strategy. Maliwan weapons need to charge up first, COV (Bandit) weapons have to be field repaired instead of reloaded and the repair times vary, Torgue bullets (called Gyro-Jets) are slower than normal bullets. So on and so on. Getting a good overall build makes a huge difference; you have to combine your weapons, class mod, skill tree, and playstyle into something that works together cohesively. Building a loadout feels almost like playing League of Legends sometimes; dying and respawning gives you a chance to buy, sell, and adjust as you go as long as machines are nearby.

    The red text items aren't just for collecting and show anymore. Many of them have unique and sometimes game-breakingly overpowered special effects. One blue gun makes every 7th shot arc to nearby enemies for more damage. Boost your fire rate and reload speed in your skill trees, and you have a gun that can shoot a near constant stream of shock bullets that arc to any nearby enemies, and the arcs are also stackable; it'll arc to all nearby enemies. I got it at level 16 and am still using it at level 24 against Guardians and shielded enemies.

    Conclusion:
    Remember when I said it was ridiculous? It's ridiculous. The entire appeal of this game is that it remains constantly on the edge of suspension of disbelief, never quite entirely crossing it, always teasing you just a little bit. It's a game you enjoy playing, not a game you play to win, or play to rank up and lord it over anyone. You play it because when you melee enough enemies to death, you get a challenge completion that says "Boop." You play it because you can light enemies on fire, then shock them, then fire acid at them, irradiate them, and then freeze them, all in beautiful cel-shaded graphics. It's a game that's brutal at times, but the fun kind of brutal. It's More Borderlands.    … Expand

    Gamers exchange the world over can rejoice as the long-awaited new chapter in the Borderlands saga has arrived with Borderlands 3. The game takes place after the events of Borderlands 2 and the Telltale series of games which cast players as one of four new Vault Hunters who seek to find one of the Great Vaults which have been the main objective of the prior games in the series.
    The four    Gamers exchange the world over can rejoice as the long-awaited new chapter in the Borderlands saga has arrived with Borderlands 3. The game takes place after the events of Borderlands 2 and the Telltale series of games which cast players as one of four new Vault Hunters who seek to find one of the Great Vaults which have been the main objective of the prior games in the series.
    The four new characters break down as follows…

    Amara the Siren, FL4K the Tracker, Moze the Gunner and Zane the Operative.

    Characters have unique abilities which can be adjusted as the game unfolds as players will gain skill points to allocate to various abilities as they level up throughout the game. Each character has a special ability that is deployable after a certain amount of time and really can turn the tide of battle. Moze for example can deploy a mechanized unit known as an “Iron Bear” which is capable of unleashing a devastating arsenal of bullets, rockets, flames, and increased protection which makes it ideal when taking on some of the bosses in the game.

    One of the new features in the game aside from being able to have better ability to mantel or destroy cover objects is a greater range of destructible containers which helps turn the tide against the relentless and overwhelming numbers that players can face.

    Well I played a significant chunk of the game on my own; the game does allow up to four players to play with one another and this came in very handy during a couple of battles Where I simply did not have enough firepower to complete it on my own.

    There were some frustrations with the matchmaking system which did not allow me to select games to join and I was basically dropped in blind to games near my character level. This caused me to have to repeat a mission multiple times and then endure having to re-do the mission I needed help with three times due to various glitches and crashes.

    Further complicating matters was that in joining a game blind, that now became the jumping off point for continuing my game. It took a little bit of searching to find one roughly where I had left off; so I could continue on.
    The key for me turned out to be asking for assistance from players on my friends list as well is those who were listed on my recent contact sessions.

    The game tasks players to go up against Twins who have started a Cult as they attempt to unlock the Great Vault and use the power to control the galaxy and kill all those who oppose them.
    As anybody who is played any games in the series knows; there are all manner of enemies and creatures for players to battle as well as vehicles and NPC characters to help out and move the story along.

    This time out players have a spaceship called Sanctuary which allows players to venture away from Pandora and experience several other planets in the Borderlands Universe. Each planet has its own unique look and bio system ranging from a Louisiana style swamp location to high-tech cities as an example.

    The graphics in the game are absolutely stunning in the amount of detail is simply breathtaking to behold. The level of detail in something as simple as a mansion is worthy of just walking around having a look were it not for the numerous things trying to take you out. The game has incredible amounts of loot that players can accumulate which can be used for various upgrades. 2K and Gearbox promote that there are over 1 billion weapons available in the game which leads to some really difficult choices as to which ones players keep, discard, or placed into storage.
    While one may offer a bigger punch; it may be slow to reload, have limited ammunition, and increased accuracy. There is definitely a lot of experimentation that goes on and the same is true for the skills tree which even after completing the game is still fairly open which will entice me to go back and complete side quests while I wait for the DLC and maximizes the potential of my character.
    The game is exceptionally long which is not a bad thing save for a couple of times when I thought the game was wrapping up only to be signed more back-and-forth or other missions to advance the story. This is not a bad thing as the universe is incredibly immersive but I found myself eager to see what the outcome of the story was rather than what seem like a series of missions designed to extend gameplay.

    That being said; Borderlands 3 was hands-down the best gaming experience I have had this year and is an early contender for game of the year award despite the glitches and matchmaking frustrations that hampered some of my enjoyment of the game.

    Start to finish I was absolutely captivated by the game and I’m eager to go back in and experience more of this incredible universe as I look forward to the free and paid updates that are coming soon which will hopefully keep me satisfied until the next chapter in the series is released which hopefully will not be as long a wait.

The Character skins etc really allow for lots or variation and personality.

    Is it perfect ? No But is a damned good game, new grenade play gun play and the guns feel different, and varied. I have no doubt that the announced events will include patches to fix some of the issues, and they NEED to do that. The glitches and optimization need to come soon, but let be real - we're only a few days in.

    There is a downplay in the humor of the game, its not a fun and silly as BL2, but it is still good. BL2 Is one of my favorite games, even more so in this world of COD regurgitated game play.

    The look of the game is really what I wanted - a new updated look to the game that is VERY much Borderalnds, the look and the feel is good. The frame stutter needs to be addresses, SOON!

    Pros:
    If you are a fan of the BL games you will like it - some people are complaining about the "more of the same" but they seem to forget this is Borderlands....
    The new movement mechanics are fun, and the quality of life, like navigation etc are on point.
    It's Borderlands 3 and the story is good and the characters are varied and allow options for different play styles.
    It is very much what I wanted, and this game is totally worth it.
    The level/map design and variation is spectacular - every planet has its own looks, feel and personality. The variety is great - from fighting in tight house corridors to open courtyards and everything in between.
    Cons
    The twins really don't have the immersion of past BL villains (but that has a lot to do with Jack being SUCH a good villain)
    The bugs need to be addressed as well as the optimization.
    The constant network traffic needs to be optimized.
    Lack of tutorial with the really substantial changes to navigation can make it really hard to move around from map to map unless you spend some time to getting to knowing the many changes in navigation.

    Overall
    There is nothing here that is brutal enough to merit the 0-1-2 scores this game is currently getting.
    It's BORDERLANDS - if you don't like the humor in the past you won't like this.
    Its a good game that has a really good look, and continues the BL universe.
    The Twins are just kind of annoying, but the rest of the story line is really solid, the inclusion of past vault hunters, the Zer0 and Athena story lines really bring you into the story, and as much as the story seems to center around Lillith the story is good, very good.
    To avoid any spoilers the "apprentice" is annoying, and her story line is predictable.
    There needs to be optimization and I am confident that they will address the issues.

    If you gave it a low rating because of the gamestore, or if you are review bombing the game - get a life. If you honestly don't like it - then so be it - but many of these ultra low ratings is just sad. Brand new games will have bugs.

    I am looking forward to the events and DLC and those much needed patches.    … Expand

    Never played a Borderlands game before, glad I started with this one!

    Has this reviewer actually completed the darn game: YES! Time played: ~40hrs. It's hard to believe a game runs this well out of the box.. it takes EA / Ubisoft several months (and then some) to get a release running like this :P Personally I never dropped below 60fps on Ultra at 1440p with my RTX 2070.

    Personally I never dropped below 60fps on Ultra at 1440p with my RTX 2070.

    In terms of gameplay I wasn't sure what to expect but I would most liken it to 'Destiny', in terms of other games that I have played personally. Explore, find secrets and treasure, kill waves of enemies, smash the bullet-sponge boss (I don't mean this in a bad way - attack patterns and 'weak points' also play a big part) and collect the phattest loot!

    Visually the game is one of the best looking titles out there. The cel-shaded art style is brought to life by incredible lighting and fog effects, etc. Everything looks crisp and colours simply pop. Fantastic.

    The audio is right up there too. Incredible soundtrack (some licenced tracks too), atmospheric ambience and great 3D positioning. Not once did I feel a sound came from somewhere it shouldn't have.

    Fans of the series have probably picked up this game regardless, but for those who haven't looked at the Borderlands series before, there's no better time to jump straight in :)    … Expand

    I don't understand why people giving bad review. The story is good, the game mechanics is good, the environment is very good.

    I just got the game and they must have worked out all of the bugs. It plays great and its a ton of fun. The graphics are good and the gameplay is good. If you did not get the game then try it now because it is a good game and more Borderlands.

    Pros:
    + It's more of the same Borderlands game play loop: If you like previous entries, you'll probably like this one, but if not, this isn't anything new to change your mind.
    + If you're into the gun-loot grind, it's can be fun. + It's the best one since Borderlands 2. + There were some pretty girls in the game. In cut scenes, I had a fun time finding the best camera angles to ogle    Pros:

    + There were some pretty girls in the game. In cut scenes, I had a fun time finding the best camera angles to ogle the boobs and butts. To be 13 again...

    Cons:
    - The main villains are weak and uninteresting characters with a boring story line and motivations. Granted, this is not a game about the story, but Borderlands 2 showed you could have a much more interesting villain than this. These are just comically evil characters that do bad things because they need one-dimensional villains to move the plot forward. I could not skip through the CoV cut scenes fast enough.
    - I feel like I've grown out of the edgy humor and teenage angst portrayed in the narrative. It's more a con of me getting older.
    - I found the game very easy. I rarely died, and didn't feel like there was much skill or challenge in the fights. Point at the thing you want to die and hold the trigger; move forward and repeat. I barely used special powers or grenades because there wasn't much point.
    - Obnoxious DLC sales push. OMG, they are trying way to hard to sell you DLC in game with constant in-your-face reminders.
    - On PC, I had a few crashes. At one point I had to google how to restore a corrupted save game after one of the crashes.

    Buying advice: If you're a fan looking for more Borderlands, this is fine. If you're new to the series, start with Borderlands 2, and come back to this if you want more. I'd pay $20 for the base game, but I'm not really interested in playing the DLC.    … 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.
