    I started playing this last year I think. First time playing a looter shooter game, The story is god-awful but the combat is fine. There are a few bugs, the only sidequests I haven't finished were from the Psycho Krieg DLC as the quests there were a bit boring for my taste and I found his mental side annoying.

    This game is like a woke zoomer tiktok brainstorming.
    The wokeness is unbearable. Possibly the wokest game I've ever played. All the male characters are just losers or idiotic buffoons, when not weak cowards or brainless animals. Except for the gay ones, of course. The alphabet agenda is all over the place. They made Tina an adult just to make her non binary because reasons. Her, and the Hammerlock and Jacobs story are so forced and shoved down my throat that I can't roll my eyes more or I'll get blind. Let alone some unnecessary fetch quests which are made just to insert more agenda. I don't even want to talk about Ava, the game's Mary Sue, because I can't stand her. I want to talk about the unfunny humor, which seems to be written by a 12 year old who thinks that poo and balls are super funny. I even find disturbing the bad taste thrown into the jokes, constantly. I like gross and offensive humor, but when is so bad, so basic, and constant, it's not funny, it's amazingly cringe. The writing, as always when they focus on wokeness, and female empowerment (completely misunderstood), is atrocious. I can't empathize with any main character because I find them insufferable or at least not interesting. I even found Lillith annoying, while the rest were simply obnoxious. It's been hard to finish the game, not just because of all this wokeness, but because I got really bored of killing the same enemies over and over again. And because I couldn't care less about the bad plot and the characters. The fact that I don't even want to touch the DLCs speaks volumes. The loot system is repetitive and not satisfying. This is the worst Borderlands. I didn't like the Presequel very much, but it was still good compared to this one.    … Expand

    when i first played the game i didnt like it that much, it was a stong 6, but still a fun experience with my friend. I revisited the game and i liked it a lot more. the game is fun, the gameplay feels smooth. I would never say it is better than 2 but still a fun co-op

    I did enjoy this but it isn't exactly good. It was some game play improvements but that is about it on improvements. The villains lack anything that makes a good villain, just some spoiled brats who think there the sh*t with all their influencer nonsense. The story is eh and isn't really memorable and most of the jokes don't land. It is just a huge step down after the greatness which isI did enjoy this but it isn't exactly good.

    If you want to play solo and in single player the game is alright. The campaign and guns etc is good but good luck reliably connecting to play with friends online. Which is the reason why I bought the game. aka, the reason I wasted my money.

    The cover itself is the reason NOT to buy it, if you do believe in respect for other people's beliefs and symbols that are holy to them.

    I was very skeptical, but the longer i played it, the more interesting it was becoming. This is the only game where I'm actually interested doing side quests after I've finished the game. It's colorful and engaging.

    Way too dark image even i got very bright qled. Boring game with ne no any difference than b2. Not worth to buy or not even for free. boring weapons without any punch or sound. Aiming is delayed sticky kind of. Got 4 points only cos there is existing way worse than this. Still tho this isnt good.

    Try and pause a cutscene, it skips.
    No idea what the hell is going on, story wise, because it just skips when life happens during cutscenes

    It's a good game if you don't focus on the story. IMO the story is boring and too long. Quests are repeatable and only a few side quests surprised me. Sometimes it's very funny, but sometimes it's totally dumb, but probably it's an assumption of this world. The gameplay is awesome, the combat is very fast and satisfactory, but sometimes there is to much chaos. The loot system it's a mess.It's a good game if you don't focus on the story.

A lot of really good stuff have much lower score than items with very high score that were completely useless, so after some time I was tired of collecting a new stuff, especially when you kill the boss and you will receive tones of useless stuff.… Expand

    Игра то неплохая... даже тянет на крепкую семерочку... но оптимизация на пс4 просто ужасная. Игра во первых идет только в 30 фпс с частыми просадкоми до 26-24 фпс, а во во вторых не знаю у кого как, но у меня она довольно часто вылетала, и это я играл через 2 года после релиза что там было у тех кто играл сразу на релизе и знать не хочу.Игра то неплохая... даже тянет на крепкую семерочку... но оптимизация на пс4 просто ужасная.

    Modernized and polished version of BL2, some glitches and slow menu...
    The humor is pretty tame and kinda cringe at times...It seemed like in not wanting to offend anyone they left a generic product that no one could relate to...
    BL2 had WAY BETTER HUMOR

    I'll wait for a year until it's on sale for 20$...

    While Borderlands 3 is polished and runs well, the experience of playing it is joyless. Missions are boring and uninspired, and require a huge amount of meaningless traversal.

    The game kept what was great from the previous installments and more or less didn't offer much new.

    La campaña de marketing que tuvo este juego fue inmensa. Era el juego que sucedía a Borderlands fcking 2, la gente esperaba mucho. Obviamente con los ojos del hype en su momento me parecció todo genial, pero bueno, ahora viene lo bueno:

    -Lo jugué con un amigo que era igual de hardcore fan de la saga que yo, y ambos acabamos hartos de lo laaaaaaaaaaaaaaarga que es la historia principal. Es, abrumadoramente larga hasta el punto de que en una primera partida por ella, lo único que queríamos ya hacía el final es que acabara,

    -Encima de eso, la historia es horrenda. Se cagan en los personajes del 2 y los que introducen nuevos son monigotes sin personalidad.

    -Se les fue la pinza con los DLC, muchisima pasta, muchisimas versiones y todo al final para sacar los cuartos.

    -Las clases son bastante peores que en juegos previos. Moze la buscacámaras con peor diseño que habrá jamás y en general quitando FL4K y un poco Zane, personajes del montón.

    -NO HAY NI UNA SOLA HABILIDAD DENTRADA EN SNIPERS (en general son mil veces peores que en los juegos anteriores), nisiquiera en FL4K a pesar de que todo su material publicitario lo pintan como sniper.

    -El humor está de relleno, muchísimo bajón en ese aspecto con respecto a los otros juegos.

    -Se gastaron toda la imaginación en crear a Jack el Guapo y no ha tenido ni idea de que hacer desde entonces.

    En general para mi este juego es chusta en comparación a los otros de la saga pero el gameplay y los gráficos en general son muy sólidos. Si introdujeran el mismo gameplay en Borderlands 2 sería fácil uno de los mejores FPS de la historia.    … 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.
