    Review bombing is a joke. The game has its flaws but you can tell Gearbox put a lot of work into this game and it isn't the slightest bit of a letdown to me. Yes Randy Pitchford is a douche. Don't let that, or the fact that it is an epic game exclusive, ruin it for you.

    The corporate-loyalist mob, driven to anger by vapid social media figures, is precisely what the game sets out to satirize. I'm playing on a PS4 Pro in performance mode, and it runs beautifully. The across-the-board mechanical improvements over BL2 are astounding, and the game is an absolute blast to play.

    I haven't tried the co-op so can't comment on that, but don't let this low user score fool you.

The solo campaign is absolutely superb, and not that I think it really matters if a game has a couple of glitches on release day, but I haven't even encountered any glitches. Even this complaint about the slow loading time for the inventory seems to be nonsense from my experience so far.....the menu comes up quickly, the fast travel loading times are super fast, and I'm playing on a bog-standard PS4, not a Pro. And man, the open world environment is just beautiful to behold. The very first area and the first weapons you pick up might be a little bit meh, but that's kind of par for the course with a game like this.....it starts out basic, but its not long before you start to open up some great areas and weapons.

    Each new environment you unlock is better than the last, and the weapons along with them. The gameplay is incredibly fun and satisfying, and also gets better and better as you figure out which weapons and perks you like. And ultimately what makes a game like this good.....crafting a character around your play style, fun side missions and compelling areas to explore.....this game has in spades. 10 out of 10 for me, no question. Easily as good, if not better, than Borderlands 2, and a big improvement on the last one. As far as I can tell, pretty much all these negative reviews relate to the co-op mode and associated glitches, so if you plan to solo this game, ignore them because they're not relevant. The only drawback of this game is that you look at the clock at 10am then when you look again what seems like 5 minutes later, its 10 O'clock at night. If anything this game is too good.    … Expand

    I bought the Super Deluxe Edition on PS4 on Day One and have been playing since. I'm level 23 right now and having a blast playing the campaign SOLO. I did not try local splitscreen co-op nor online co-op. Here's my take so far.

    If you love everything about Borderlands 1, 2, Pre-Sequel and Tales, you WILL, without a doubt, love Borderlands 3. To me, it is THE best Borderlands    I bought the Super Deluxe Edition on PS4 on Day One and have been playing since. I'm level 23 right now and having a blast playing the campaign SOLO. I did not try local splitscreen co-op nor online co-op. Here's my take so far.

    If you love everything about Borderlands 1, 2, Pre-Sequel and Tales, you WILL, without a doubt, love Borderlands 3. To me, it is THE best Borderlands experience. It improves so much from the previous games.

    1. Fast travel
    Previous games had me backtracking so much! It became so frustrating to undertake a quest, complete it and finding myself having to trek back across the map to another location. I would just quit the game and restart to get back to a fast travel point. In BL3, you can fast travel anytime, anywhere. Just open the map, and BOOM! Fast travel anywhere. This is a game changer for me.

    2. Exploration
    This time, it's more rewarding to explore the full map, uncovering every inch of it. BL1 & 2 felt empty, where the rewards for exploring were just Echo Logs and Vault Symbols etc. This time, you're rewarded not just with Echo Logs, but Collectibles/Crew Challenges that give you useful loot! Plus the game is so gorgeous and the diverse landscapes made exploration enjoyable.

    3. Characters
    Admittedly, so far, the antagonist twins aren't as compelling as Handsome Jack but they're passable. However, I am more attached to characters from previous games like Lilith & Co. So for me, I am enjoying the main campaign just because I'm finding out more about what happened to them since the last games, what's going on right now and what will happen to them. You are also rewarded with a lot of dialog when you keep prompting each NPC. The previous games usually had 1-2 lines of dialog per prompt, but BL3 definitely put in the effort in fleshing out NPCs more.

    4. Loot
    OMG, the loot!!! It is the bread and butter of this game! Gunplay and gameplay is so so so satisfying. I'm playing as Moze, having played Sirens in the previous games, and oh man am I enjoying myself. I cannot wait to max out Moze and then try out Fl4k, Zane and Amara in other playthroughs. I usually don't care for the other character besides my main, but BL3 made me intrigued. You also get rewarded for using guns from each manufacturer. So if your favorite type of gun is from Maliwan or Jakobs, these companies will send you special loot for being a loyal customer! It's just so rewarding, and the pace that I get new loot before I got bored with what I currently have is perfect.

    5. Music
    The music is excellent. Very chill and relaxing. The Sanctuary3 music somehow reminded me of The Matrix.

    6. Customization
    There's a huge variety of cosmetics and customization you make on your charater, guns and vehicles. I especially love the gun skins and trinkets which is something new, cos you see your weapon 100% of the time so being able to customize them is cool! Also, I do not see any intrusive microtransactions in game whatsoever, unlike games like AC Odyssey, Origins, Battlefield, Destiny, COD, etc. It feels like an old school looter shooter to the core!

    7. Bosses
    Man some of the bosses so far are pretty cool! And kinda tough for a normal difficulty. I cannot wait for True Vault Hunter Mode.

    8. Stability
    On single player campaign playing on SOLO on my original PS4, the game has been super smooth with no crashes and bugs since Day 1. 30fps gameplay is good enough for this generation. I wasn't expecting 60fps so I was fine with the gameplay.

    So yeah, having played about 30+ hours so far and not nearing the end yet, it has been an awesome experience. If you love the Borderlands series and play solo, this is a MUST BUY!

    EDIT (Oct 26): I just beat the campaign at Level 44 with most side quests completed and some collectibles left. What a game! So much content, so much fun! I'm finishing up the remaining side quests, Circles of Slaughters, Proving Grounds and finding all collectibles. I'm also playing at a new difficulty level called Mayhem mode. Mayhem1 is tough and makes the game so much more challenging and forces me to change my approach. I tried the highest tier, Mayhem3, just for fun, and it is NOT fun. Bordering on impossible. I find myself now finding better gear to challenge myself at Mayhem3. If you're familiar with Torment levels in Diablo3, Mayhem mode is similar. Mayhem mode also has modifiers that affect your current game session, things like more SMG, shotgun damage, less crit, pistol damage etc.

    I haven't even started a 2nd playthrough on True Vault Hunter Mode. I'm guessing TVHM at Mayhem3 will be the Bloodborne of shooter looters!

    Feeling very excited to improve my Moze into the ultimate badass. This almost feels like Goku training at 100x gravity.

    Awesome game, one of my favorite gaming experiences of the year, along with Control.

    Oh, not to mention the current free Halloween content, Bloody Harvest! I'm having a ball of a time, even after 100+ hrs of gameplay.    … Expand

    It's the best loot shooter right now, with some light technical issues. Bungie can cancel their shadowkeep, because nothing can top B3.
    And not a single microtransaction in 2019, that is an achievement by itself!

    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.

The guns and gear feel great, the new skill tree system is a needed improvement on the past 2 games in the franchise. The story is fine.

    This game is a beast in every aspect.

    Pros:
    - Gameplay
    - Characters
    - Gunplay
    - Visuals and Graphics
    - World

    Super fun to play and great changes ... there are some bugs here and there and some frame drops when I open the menu but I think this will be fixed in a few days..

    MUST PLAY!

    I am a fan of course but like my gears 5 review never a die hard BL fan. But as a FPS RPG and open world ( better for more diverse locals) action game, sweet. The gameplay is way tighter the story more robust humor is great. If your a fan of BL or looking for a action packed shooter this is it.

That’s been there thing day one no apologies it’s part of the charm. For the couch co-op splitscreen bugs, that stinks. Keep in mind that’s a dying bread, most have left the building ( the fact they still have it awesome) but it is a huge game, bugs and such can be expected. People will say well it’s not finished, my answer is the same. Remember when they use to launch games with ZERO updates. Well if not, then as a gamer for over 30 yrs the broken the glitch the man in the wall the frozen talking faces, guest what? That was finished with no option to improve or patch it is as it was. I’m happy that gaming industry finally reached to were they can update fix and add content.

    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

    The game is phenomenal. Gunplay is better than ever and extremely refreshing with new abilities, dual modes and new weapon manufacturers. I'm playing as FL4k and although it's a bit slow to start (as far as his abilities) I'm really enjoying it now.

    The villains don't hold a candle to Jack. He was probably one of if not the best villain of any game I've played. They are formidable but much of their dialogue is just annoying. Writing is a bit lacking compared to BL2 but it's definitely had its moments and isn't bad by any means.

    To those crying over microtransactions. M. BORDERLANDS HAS ALWAYS HAD THAT YA DUMMIES! It's nothing "pay to win" and It's purely cosmetic so I don't understand the issue.

Everything I want from a sequel: keep what was good, fix what wasn't, and expand on it all. A deeper lore, major quality of life improvements, and the same Borderlands charm you loved from the past games. The game isn't perfect, I did have a glitch moment that launched me into the sky and out of the map, resulting in a swift death. There's also a small bit of lag in the menus, presumably from loading the character model, but I expect these will be patched out relatively soon. Other than that, I have had no problems and absolutely no regrets about getting this game. It only gets a 10 instead of a 9 to help bump it up from the bombers and boycotters.… Expand
