    Nearly unplayable in its current state. I will update this score if they put out a good patch.

    I bought a PS4 pro for two reasons: so I could play visual-geared games in 4K and enjoy higher framerates for fast-paced games. This has neither of these. In 4K mode, you're looking at maybe 15 fps . It's horrible. In performance mode (which is a measly 1080p) , you get 20-30 fps. It's    Nearly unplayable in its current state.

    In addition to this, huge input lag and audio issues (no, it's not my monitor. i booted up another ps4 game on the same monitor and had zero issues). I can't hear characters that are in front of me, only all around me. It's insane.

    Will be returning this if they don't fix it all soon.    … Expand

Skip the good ones. This game is fundamentally broken and has an insane amount of bugs, the quantity of which, is unacceptable for a 'Triple-A' release. The bugs include (and are not limited to) falling through the map, launching skyward in vehicles when colliding with objects, placeholder text appearing on screen, vendors not telling you the price of a full ammo restock, intense frame-rate drops when opening anything that could be classified as a menu, repeating ECHO-Tapes in split screen mode, and worst of all, the hud size is so small that only an ant could read it without eye-strain. All of these bugs were observed during my time playing the game, and I have not included any bugs that I myself, did not encounter, this is to bring further credibility to this review. Just note that the listed bugs are likely the tip of the iceberg.
    If you can look past the bugs and performance issues, its a solid game and has been fun to play when we actively try to ignore these issues. The loot drops are more satisfying, and areas are filled with collectibles and hidden locations that make exploring fun. The classes are very enjoyable as well, and all work extremely well in conjunction with one another, this in turn, makes the fast paced combat addicting and exciting for the whole party. The storyline is very disappointing, at last in terms of how my friends and I have gotten, as there isn't much context given as to exactly what we're doing or what our ultimate goal is. This is in stark contrast to the previous entries that made such goals apparent at the start of the game. Example: BL1 was to find and open the vault, BL2 was to kill Handsome Jack, BL3 is....a mess. This is subject to change late-game, but for now, I am personally unimpressed.
    In conclusion, I would recommend this game to potential buyers, but not until each major issue is fixed, and the support for vertical split screen is added. The game is terrible in its current state, and despite the impressive gameplay, its borderline unplayable on the Playstation 4 at the time of this review.    … Expand

Super laggy. Text too small. Inventory bugs. Vending machines suck. No vertical split screen. Very very disappointing.

    Made account just to trash this game. Local co-op mode is simply not playable currently. Game is clunky, laggy, freezes up if someone opens a menu, and split screen is horizontal only, making everything ultra tiny and impossible to read. We gave up after 30 minutes.

Like many other players, my wife and I purchased this game excited to jump back into the world of Borderlands via couch co-op, anxious to see how they may have expanded/improved on what was already a great local cooperative gameplay experience. After all, their "so happy together" trailer seems to elude that to a strongly developed multiplayer experience. Found out quickly that the developers made the astonishing choice to only include horizontal co-op, which is near unplayable on a widescreen tv. The Borderlands franchise has stood apart from many games being one of the few that really does couch co-op very well. We won't be playing this until we hear more about whether the developers plan to restore this critical element. Big let down on this $100 pre-order. The excitement we had for jumping into the story together right at launch has been effectively nullified.
    The game itself is very enjoyable from the little that we've played, separately... I would have otherwise given this game an excellent review if this core element from the other games had been included, but as it is in contrast to the other games, BL3 is incomplete.    … Expand

In a self proclaimed shoot and loot game, the ability to see what you're shooting and read what loot you've got are kind of essentially. While I'm sure the game runs well enough in single player mode, since, for me Borderlands 3 has always been about co-operative play I cannot justify rating this game even a 1 because it is totally unplayable. £90 down the drain unless a vertical split screen is added.… Expand

    Worst Borderlands game by far. The humor is terrible and not what it once was, and the characters are often cringy and feel lazily added to the storyline. The antagonists are pretty bad in my opinion and the variety of side quests are also abysmal. Mostly just a forgettable game.

The villains are the most cringeworthy villains in the history of games. They just keep bragging about how they obliterated your friend over and over again like no one cares, not even the protagonists.

    The technical state of this game is horrendous. Almost unplayable in splitscreen on base ps4. Constantly loading and deloading textures, even reticles have lowpixel versions! Textures deload to lowpoly when you turn your back against them. The game crashes often, leaving you to the longest loading screen with assclap dancing in a total silence which makes you want to delete the game right away due to cringe overload. Frame rate is pretty bad, worst is on vertical split screen. When opening the menu, the game freezes for a few seconds. Every text in this game is so tiny you have to lean towards the screen to read the stats. Some texts are so microscopic that they don't have enough pixels to be readable.

    Borderlands 3 at least doesn't force you to complete side quests in order to be able to play the main mission on a decent difficulty unlike the older games which is probably the only improvement in this game. Edge climbing, slides and ground slams are pretty close to useless.

    If you want to play a Borderlands game (or a "split screen game with your friend") you should definitely try one of the older ones since they are in so much better technical conditions rather than this cringe-emanating piece of craptlap with more coital/coomer "jokes" than jokes.    … Expand

FL4K works but is incredibly boring though Moze is interesting but only when in her mech. With all the hype built around this it just feels like another over promised and under delivered game. There are tons of bugs, just like the other Borderlands games, though to be fair patches could iron those problems out. DLC might make the game more interesting but the developers would have to do a full 180 from their release product to pull this off and I don't see them putting in that kind of effort. The CEO and review debacles aside, the fan community was looking forward to a decent game and B3 just feels like a Kickstarter that lost the love. So many punches got pulled here, especially towards the end of the game where main characters die only to be met with a quick one mission "dialogue mourning period" before its back to poop jokes and repetitive dialogue. This is such a missed opportunity.… Expand

Instead I am going to bomb the game from the game itself from what I can stand to play. I have been a fan of the borderlands games since Borderlands 2. I put over 500 hours into borderlands 2 and about 150 in the pre sequal. Though I thought the pre sequal was a bit disappointing, I still thought it was a good enough game in the series.

    Then borderlands 3 comes out, I was excited about the game enough to pre-order it so I could pre download it. Launch day comes and... disappointment... disappointment nearly everywhere.

    Now I will confess I am a PC gamer, so maybe its because I play on PC and therefore I am use to higher framerates, but jumping jesus Christ, I swear bloodborne has a more steady and higher framerate than this game does.

    So say you are a fan of the borderlands series, what would you say is one of the most important things about playing a borderlands game... Are you a fan of handsome jack and think story is important? Or do you want to get the top quality loot to kill things even faster? Well what if I said just being about to shoot basic enemies would be a good start. Thats right, this game has such low FPS (frame per second) and such high input lag (I guess anywhere from .5-1.5 seconds) that shooting enemies is nearly impossible. I have a better chance of firing from the hip and moving left and right than aiming down any sight whatsoever. Snipers, assault rifles, SMG, pistols, anything with a scope is useless because as soon as you aim your FPS drops even worse than the game normally plays at, adding in the input lag, and your better off just using melee to kill enemies.

    Well maybe that just me right, maybe I have just **** luck or even just a **** player, which the second isnt true as I am a borderlands veteran and have done basically anything I can in 2 and pre sequal. But maybe shooting isnt everything right, the games have always about making you feel like a badass, by making each character broken in their unique way...

    Well that isnt true for Amara (the siren character) which is the first and probably only character I will play. Maya was the siren in Borderlands 2 and was one of my favorites to play. Able to deal large amounts of status effects (fire, shock, corrosive, slag), lock enemies is stasis allowing your team to deal with them, healing teammates ect.

    All I have seen with Amara's skills are special ability (I chose the one in the shock tree which sends a projection of myself in a straight line to deal damage) and basically every skill I dont even notice during combat. I got a skill allowing me to gain "rush" stacks by killing enemies or inflicting them with a status effect, which boosts my ultimate damage (if you can hit the damn thing with the low fps). Every other skill I see in the tree doesnt even begin to fill me with excitement. Its all boring crap you would skip over in other trees. Its things like "gain more accuracy and crit damage a few seconds after using my ult"... wow I am absolutely overjoyed, now the few times I can hit someone my damage might go up by a grand total of 5 points. I am so glad I am putting points into this. This is most of the skill I can see too, nothing has the same impact as say Maya's cloud kill (after the path) that makes you go "wow this skill is broken and I love it" . You just keep putting points in skills till hopefully something interesting opens up.

    Going back to the badass aspect of the game, some of my favorite things to do in borderlands 2 is take a prized legendary gun, and go on a rampage killing enemies as easily as I breathe oxygen. Sniping enemies with zero and getting 100k damage on a crit is satisfying as hell... Well you can say goodbye to that because that will never happen in this game. Even enemies that are on your level never die from just one hit? 1,3,5,7,10? Does it depend on the gun?

    Nope, when we are talking about how many rounds it take to down a single enemy we arent talking about single rounds, we are talking about entire magazines. Thats right, you will dump dozens of rounds into a single guy to drop them. I thought I was on a higher difficulty or something, so I checked in the setting and found I was playing on normal, which I assumed was the same difficulty as borderlands 2, the same game I mastered and can go through up to true vault hunter mode and not die in. Even knocking the difficulty down to easy doesnt help much.

    So what about the small things? Menu input lag is unreal... its UI it shouldnt take 10 seconds for my map to show up. Badasses spawn rate is way to high to low levels, and the weapons they drop are garbage... in fact, most of the weapons you find even on badasses are gray, you are lucky to get a green or even a blue rarity weapon. weapon stats text can get stuck or be unreadable due to the box appearing above your camera vision.    … Expand

    More guns, more planets, more skills, more… more. If you liked the previous ones, this gives you plenty of the same to enjoy. Borderlands 3 is the very definition of the bigger and better sequel. [Issue#168, p.76]

    Borderlands 3 is a by-the-book sequel that takes no risks. Veteran Borderlands players will embrace it, but others will find that it has not evolved enough.

    Factor in the graphical glitches, rampant texture pop-in and generally asthmatic performance levels, even when running on a PS4 Pro with settings optimised to favour smooth running, and there really is no end of reasons not to love Borderlands 3 (and don’t even think about Googling developers Gearbox Games’ litany of employee relations history)...And yet... love it, I do. Guilty as charged.
