    Story: 6, Gameplay: 8, Performance: 1.

    Playing on PS4 Pro, cous my friends bought it for the PS4, well, there is literally 0 optimization done on the PS4/PS4 Pro. PS4 Pro performance mode fps: around 25-40 and in some areas it's 50-60. PS4 Pro Resolution mode fps: around 10-30 fps. (mostly 10-20 fps) Don't buy the game in this state, wait for some fixes (bugs and performance).

    FINALLY a worthy Borderlands 2 Sequel!

    For this review, I'm going to ignore the bugs until necessary, as talk about the ones I encountered, but the issues can detrimental I played online with friends and the amount of lag and issues we had was crazy

    Two more, less impactful bugs I encountered were a bit annoying. A lot must be happening in the menu's because it lags like **** It's so annoying to navigate because of the lag, but that's an XB1 issue, I'm not sure how it compares to other systems. But I seriously don't like customizing my weapons because the amount of time it is to re-customize every weapon is too long

    Another one that has always been present is that enemies will sometimes glitch under the floor, not allowing you to progress.

    Anyway how's the game.

    Humour:
    It's funny, and not just a string of jokes like BLTPS was. This game brings back those weird and great characters that are funny from their existence. Working off other characters to great consistent enjoyable and funny dialogue. And it's actually used really well. One moment is a hard-hitting cutscene...it's all intense...it's so moody then 30 seconds later you're laughing about that same situation because it's been re-contextualized, or it's that same scene has been made fun off. Or that scene is poking fun at the storey events, you won't always laugh, but you'll always smile with this game. Also the number of self-references hit just right and is great, laughing at yourself so you can laugh with the players.

    Fixes:
    If you've played the other Borderlands games you'll know of the annoying things like not being able to access skills in vehicles. But this game fixes it. Generally, there's so much more, a PROPER sequel to Borderlands. You can customize weapons with skins (In-game currency don't worry) If you play FL4K or Zane you'll have some interesting skill choices to make (You can have two skills on Zane, and you choose between a pet on FL4K) Better hub and environments, and the gun manufacturers. Holy **** they fixed the guns. Assualt rifles are worth using now. Each manufacturer is so much more unique, their designs are more clearly designed, and the abilities of your guns have more variety, Every loot drop is more exciting than ever.

    The gameplay is great, music and environment and outstanding, the writing is on par from what you expect from a great Borderlands game (BL2 & TftB) there's so much new great things, amazing things, i haven't had so much fun playing Borderlands since 2012 with my first BL2 playthrough, if you're a Borderlands fan, pick this up. If you're not a Borderlands fan, keep this on your "to get" list. It's great, the only things bad about this game is the bugs, my experience has been mostly clean, but others has been awful, having their data wiped and you should definitely do a little research on the bugs of this game to make sure you don't get ****ed over

    The negative reviews are from bugs, bugs oh so bugs, they shouldn't be ignored, a game with bugs is just as bad as a game with bad gameplay, but you should know the score is only so low because of reviews with the bugs, it might honestly be worth checking up on the updates and waiting until this game gets patched.

    I'm not far into the game, only beat the 2nd boss and completed a bunch of side missions, game is really fun so far. Same tight gunplay and cool abilities the franchise is known for, but with even cooler guns. If you weren't a fan before, just skip this. Game runs perfectly fine on my ps4 slim, I'm assuming all the 0-2 scores and from the salty PC fanboys who keep crying about the Epic launcher.

    Borderlands 3 is an absolutely great addition to the series. Everything that made the series fantastic in previous installments has either been brought back or improved upon. There may be a few small issues, like the frame rate during split-screen, but those small issues can easily be fixed in patches. A fantastic game that will get even greater as cross play and expansions are released.

    CONS
    •Weaker main villain
    •Slight menu lag
    •Occasional framerate dips
    •More of the same could also be considered a con.

    Overall I think Borderlands 3 improved significantly upon it's predecessor while staying in it's comfort zone, which for most fans of the franchise will feel like home sweet home.

    This game runs like garbage. Tons of performance issues. They lost all the good writers that made the series what it was. They send goons to their fans houses to intimidate them. They have MICROTRANSACTIONS despite saying they wouldn't be in the game. This alone shows that the devs are liars.

    And worst of all it's on the Chinese - spyware ridden Epic Crap Store. Stay away and save

    I do not believe that people have problems with optimization. The text in the settings can be done more. I have a PS4 Slim Gran Turismo Limited Edition fps drops very rarely and it is mainly in the inventory menu. I had already completed this game and I liked everything. No wonder I waited 7 years. I think the negative reviews are related to the release of the game in EGS

However BL3 begand with a rough start when low and behold there was no vertical split-screen! Ok we thought and gave it a few hours, and after a few breaks because our eyes started to hurt, the lag really came into its cruel exsistence. We had to agree to not using the menues when the other was in a fight because of the 1-2 sec lag spike when we switched menues eg. From inventory to skills menu. Its a shame that these kinds of issues should appear in 2019 on a ps4 pro console pluss the insane amount of money we spent for the premium deluxe edition to be left with an unplayable mess. One issue could have been easy to fix had they only had the foresight to use the same settings as in the previous BL games, the second is a bit harder to fix. So to Gearbox i say, don't release a game untill its playable and to 2K i say its sad to see that the fans an customers fall at the bottom of the money-making totempole. This is completely unacceptable. Expand

    First ever review and sadly not for good reasons. Let’s start with the good. It’s more brorderlands. If you are playing single player on PS4 pro, you should have no issues on performance mode. In resolution and hdr the game looks amazing but has FPS drops when in menus, vehicles, and mid story fire fights. Guns are stupid fun and some blues/purples feel just as thought out as legendary.First ever review and sadly not for good reasons. Let’s start with the good. It’s more brorderlands.

Now the bad..... co-op, couch or online is unbearable. If you are not the host, you will have frame rate issues. Wether you play on performance or resolution mode. This is one of the big draws of this game and if you have not purchased this game and want a co-op experience.... PLEASE WAIT FOR A PATCH BEFORE BUYING. If you are going to play solo by all means do you. But me and my friends can not play together because the co-op is unplayable for all but the host. If this was not an issue I would give a 9/10 but alas it’s not. Happy gaming people, just not this one. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The game was fun for the first two days of playing (Friday, Saturday, 20 hours) but then I started to encounter the glitches around Eden 6. From quest markers under the map to FLYING INTO OUTER SPACE, I saw it all.
    I was optimistic despite the boring villains and unneeded death of Maya. But then I get to the end. The destroyer becomes a tiny boss and then Lilith after getting her powers back kills herself destroying the last bit of presequel left. The moon.
    So ultimately the game is fun yet broken currently but the story feels like a terrible continuation from Jack.

    I hate day one patches, but in this case I wouldn't mind because it would have meant that I could actually play the game. Paying $110 for what is basically a good looking Power Point presentation is unacceptable.

    I have to write this review as a contrast to the complaints I am seeing in other users posts, but I will agree with them in one aspect: Split screen co-op in this game sucks way harder than it did in borderland 2, and that is disappointing. The text shows up far too small, and at the bottom of *both* players screens which is useless, because youre playing on one TV. The game doesn't seem to recognize that. It is far more laggy in split screen as well, so I do agree with a lot of the reviews in that the split screen co-op in this game is largely unplayable, which is a big disappointment as my roommate and I were looking forward to this, because we played that way in BL2. My thoughts on the game follow.

    Borderlands 3 is just borderlands 2 but more of it, and for this game, that is fine. The jokes are mostly the same as they were before: Porta Potty prisons that turn into poop rockets with people trapped inside, people acting very serious and killing each other over mundane things like coffee, annoying robots etc. The gameplay and story beats are mostly the same as well. Find new guns, kill a bunch of stuff, old playable vault hunter characters showing up just like in the last one.
    For me, none of that is an issue. All I wanted was more borderlnds and that is what I got. I am enjoying the game. The online co-op works well, the character classes are interesting and fun to play.

    As to all the other critiques about lag, I really wish I could confirm them for you, but I can't. I have no idea what kind of set ups these are are running on. The game doesn't lag for me on PS4 Pro. It runs very smooth. There is some lag, on occasion, in the skill menu. It does a whole shiny animation for you characters skill trees that has slowed down the menu for me on more than one occasion, but only right when you open the menu, and it is hardly an issue at all. Certainly not gamebreaking lag.

    Overall, Im giving this game a 9 out of 10 so far. It has minor issues and doesnt reinvent the wheel but from what I've played its more borderlands. It does what its supposed to and it does it well, and that is what I wanted.

    Из минусов могу отметить только небольшие геймплейные подтормаживания (я играю на пс4 про в режиме производительности, лол) и меню выбора способностей открывается со скоростью открытия порносайтов под VPN, то есть секунд 15-20.
    Я уверен, что в течение ближайших недель выйдут лечебные патчи, так что сильно за технические недоработки оценку не снижаю.
    Подводя итог, эта борда чудесным образом зашла мне первой из 4ёх (пойду проходить тейлсы, так как оттуда добрая часть персонажей) частей, так что вполне возможно что вам эта игра тоже зайдёт.

    TL;DR: This is Borderlands 2 with new guns, maps, and characters with a devastating framerate on PS4 Pro that makes it unenjoyable to play.
    It really just feels like Borderlands 2.5, especially with the sub-30 framerate on a PS4 Pro. No real innovations or risks were taken and it shows, I bought and played this game seven years ago. This game feels like a 'Far Cry New Dawn' type of game,

This game feels like a 'Far Cry New Dawn' type of game, take something that already exists and doesn't really add anything new and slaps a price tag on it. It looks and feels like DLC for Borderlands 2, looking at game mechanics and quality of graphics, almost no progress was made in either department. On a positive note, the playable characters are GREAT! Each one feels genuinely different from the others because of the abilities on offer, unfortunately, that's where my positivity for this game ends. A slide was added, a mantle mechanic that only works sometimes, and locking badass levels until campaign completion are the only new things I've encountered so far, making it to Sanctuary where the framerate dipped to the low 20's while talking to an NPC, and never went back up. At the end of the day, this game feels painfully average because as good as the gunplay is, it does not outweigh the cons nor can it carry the entire game. if it ran correctly and didn't have horrible bugs every five minutes, I would give it a 6/10.

    Completely in love with this game. Played it on the ps4 pro did not have any issues with gameplay. Not too sure about the story but I bought Borderlands 3 for the gameplay and it does not fail their. Gun play is amazing with a whole heap of guns to choose from . If playing split screen is not important to you this is a great game to play and you most definitely will enjoy it.

    On base PS4 this game performs about the same as bloodborne for me. People are blowing the performance issues way out of proportion. The game is great and has awesome characters, gunplay and setpieces. The music is also crazy good.

    Don't listen to the review bombers. This game is fantastic. If you're a veteran or new to the series, you should absolutely pick it up. Sure, it's got a couple of hiccups. For example, sometimes the menus lag, but it's nothing gamebreaking and will probably fixed with a patch soon. This game is an absolute blast

    This game is amazing, I've played over 20+ hours already and love it.
    I am playing on the PS4 Slim and have not experienced any frame drops, glitches or any controller delay.
    My console is fairly new as I bought it for Spider-man so I have a feeling all of the issues that are being reported are down to the console being old, damaged or because the console is overheating.

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.

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.

    Already played 20 hours of time in the game, considering that only 3 days have passed since the release. I can say that it was not in vain that we waited 5 years for this part. She's awesome.

    The lack of vertical splitscreen has made the best co-op game on the market now a total disaster. For those of us that actually like to play with another human being, in the same room even, Gearbox and 2k have really messed up. Spend that $100 on dinner and a movie.

The gameplay is really fun, missions are borderlands type missions, guns are awesome, characters are cool, essentially its borderlands 3... If you just want to play more borderlands, then thats what you have. If you are someone whos played enormous amounts of hours of borderlands, maybe you will have something way too familiar on your hands here.

    THE FONT SIZE IS AS SMALL AS THE FRAME RATES ON CO-OP. Not only is it laggy on a ps4 pro, but they also removed 4 player couch co-op. it rewards you like a mobile game. claptrap is shrill and is a forced imitation. the ai is braindead at level 39. This concludes my ted talk

    It is really a shame that a game that I would have loved, is poorly optimized, therefore souring the whole experience, im on PS4, and the controller feels horrible, really sad, please dont buy it yet until they fix all of its issues. It is UNNACCEPTABLE that they release the game in this state, as well as giving review copies only to people who will not comment on the technichal issues,It is really a shame that a game that I would have loved, is poorly optimized, therefore souring the whole experience, im on PS4, and the controller feels horrible, really sad, please dont buy it yet until they fix all of its issues.

    Игра выдалась настолько живо что когда вышла первая часть я и не думал что эта серия раздаётся до планетного масштаба

    So I have played Boarderlands 1 2 and the pre-sequel. This game has added alot of small changes as well as new macanics and story that works well. there may be a few glitches and drops in framerate but it is a large game with obly being out 2 days it is not a problem. the only glitches are visual glitches and the franerate drop both should get fixed by updates soon but the game is stillSo I have played Boarderlands 1 2 and the pre-sequel.

    Like Borderlands was in stasis, a lazy addition that adds nothing but grating painful attempts at humor.

    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.
