    Unplayable! No Friends Only parties. No vertical splitscreen. Horrible motion blur. Horrible screen tearing. Sluggish controls with a huge deadzone on a standard PS4 with standard controller.

    I've played all the previous Borderlands games all the way through several times on multiple platforms, including PS4. Loved them! I had to turn this game off after 15 minutes with a serious headache. The onscreen movement is noticeably lagged behind the controller. Even with the deadzone setting turned to 0, there's a pause as you move the sticks, and then the screen suddenly tears and jumps to catch up. After "catching up", the motion blur sets in, and you cannot turn this off. If you change direction, the same pause and jump happens again in the new direction.

    One of the best things about BL's 1-Pre was the Friends Only parties and splitscreen coop, allowing friends to join and leave at any time as they were available. Friends Only is not even available, and the splitscreen is horizontal only, which is like peering through a mailslot on a standard widescreen.

    I will not be playing this game until the video and controller settings are thoroughly patched, assuming 2K is on the snap. In the mean time, this was a waste of $60. Don't buy it!

    Funny how some people are upset that Borderlands 3 is like previous Borderlands games...
    If you liked previous versions of the game, you will like this one. BL3 was made for fans and it shows. Haters gonna hate.

    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 have a base PS4, and it's pretty dusty. The game runs perfectly on my system. I don't know what the problems could be (it could be that I got a physical copy in a digital age, but I have no concrete reason.) As for the game itself? 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

    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. TLDR: if you enjoyed BL1 or BL2 you will absolutely love this and must buy. If you were unsure of those games or didn't enjoy them it won't convert you.

Yes, it has bad frame rate issues at times on PS4 (but on PS4 Pro its not that bad), and yes the loading times are long, sometimes unbearably long.

    - I play it at og ps4, and frame rate is horrible. Forget about playing at split screen (which was my initial intention), even playing solo frame rate is very poor
    - texture load not only when map loads, but very often when you approach the objects or even npc, you have to wait a second or two, for texture to load. This can be also easily spoted when aiming at npc or enemies with sniper rifer. Game assumes that you are not close enough to load textures, so you see low res textures
    - game simply doesn't look good. Character and weapon models are in fact improved, but the whole rest is not. It doesn't feel like current generation game

    Story is made without much of a splendor. It's just jumping through different location, without a feeling of a purpose. Even when something 'big' is happening, the game doesn't success in presenting the magnitude of the event.

    As much as I loved borderlands 2, that was 7 years ago. One of the borderlands 3 biggest flaws, is that it resembles too much borderlands 2. Too little things got changed compared to the sequel.

    It still is a fun game once you suffer through technical issues, but it surely is not great, and I'm affraid might destroy or seriously damage the franchise in general. I played all the dlc's of previous borderlands, I don't feel like investing more money into b3. Even if you are borderlands fan, wait for patches and discounts.

    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.

    Borderlands 3 is a mixed bag for sure. While so much of the gameplay had been improved, it seems that everything else dropped the ball. While I thoroughly enjoyed the game, and I personally plan to play much more, I do have to vent my grievances with this installment.

    Borderlands 3 is a mixed bag for sure. While so much of the gameplay had been improved, it seems that everything else dropped the ball. While I thoroughly enjoyed the game, and I personally plan to play much more, I do have to vent my grievances with this installment.

    The Good:

    Combat has been greatly improved, and I cannot stress it enough. They've added a large variety of enemies, especially the Maliwan troops, which have unique ways to change combat and each have their own special ways to deal with them. For example, there are these large flamethrower enemies that come in different elements, and they have an element pack on their back. If you kill the enemy by shooting their head, eventually their element pack will roll on the ground and explode damaging you. However, if you destroy the pack on their back while they are alive, it will instantly kill them and cause it to detonate much earlier.

    Weapons actually have weight to them now, and makes me imagine how great Borderlands 2 would have been with these shooting mechanics. On top of this movement feels much better, with the ability to ground slam, slide, and mantle. Although these aren't new ideas for first person shooters, it definitely is a welcome addition to Borderlands to cut down on how clunky the previous installments felt.

    Most weapons have also been given new identities. Assault rifles are actually good again, and many weapons have been given alternate fire modes that can be as simple a select fire or changing elements, to giving your weapon an extra barrel, or having tasers and under-barrel rockets. On top of this, the game is filled with new and returning legendaries that feel even more unique than the thousands of randomly generated weapons which you'll discover. Although I feel the game gives some of these legendaries away too easily, as main quest rewards, it doesn't really change much as Borderlands 2 had blue unique weapons that were vastly greater and worse than the legendary lineup. Due to the alternative fire modes of many weapons, some of the new legendaries are not just unique in comparison to the rest of the guns in this game, but in any looter-shooter that I've played.

    Character skill trees are varied, unique, and viable. Anyone who played Borderlands 2 after the level cap increases knows how many characters were forced into the most effective skill tree to kill any of the raid bosses, if they were viable at all. Axton was one of my favorite characters who struggled deeply in the late game due to so much of his power coming from kill skills which are difficult to trigger fighting raid bosses. They added skills or class mods that give players the chance of triggering kill skills while shooting bosses, which seems like a small change but can mean the world of a difference.

    The Bad:

    Dear god the story is horrendous. To be fair its not the worst story on paper, but it is told terrible. The two antagonist don't have much of a personality besides obnoxious teenagers, but even after big events happen they don't seem to react at all. They're static the entire time, and I don't expect them to live up to the behemoth that was Handsome Jack, I wish they would try to make the antagonist more than a generic baddie that you have to kill. The other issue I struggled with is that the charm and humor that the other games were known for felt off. I noticed a prevalence of poop jokes, and lack of serious characters to balance out how wacky everyone else acts. In Borderlands 2, you had Lilith, Roland, and Mordecai as your anchors to reality while Brick and Claptrap were trying to be funny. In Borderlands 3, it seems Lilith is the only character who consistently tries to keep the dialogue bearable. There are some good jokes, usually by Hammerlock or Wainwright, but they're only prevalent on the Eden-6 arc of the story. I can go back and replay Borderlands 2 and still laugh at the jokes because 90% of them still hit, but so many of Borderlands 3's jokes miss the mark. I really hope they tone down the silliness in the DLC's or the next installment.

    The other issue I had with the main game is that it felt just a little bit too easy. The most difficult boss in my experience is before the halfway point, and the final boss is a complete and utter joke. The Warrior wasn't the most difficult boss in gaming, but at least it was a spectacle. Borderlands 3's final boss feels like a throwaway boss you create for filler in the beginning. This also leads to my issue with bosses having invincible stages where you have to wait while they buff. It brings the combat to a holt while you wait for your battle to continue. Other bosses that have buff animations usually have damage mitigation while they buff, so that you still feel like you are doing something.

    The Verdict:

    If you enjoyed the gameplay of Borderlands 2, you're going to love Borderlands 3. Just don't expect a good story or good jokes

    Really, like a 7.5. I never really played the borderlands series before, but I'm enjoying this on PS4. It is by no means perfect. The writing is pretty "meh" and the controls feel a little mushy/unresponsive, but I've adjusted. Overall, I've had fun with it and that is all that really matters. Not perfect, but fun and silly.

    There are linear quests that open up briefly to open worlds before shoving you down narrow paths one after another, the open world aspect barely exists, the weapons are bland and more or less just stat sticks, gone are the days of unique weapons with cool innovations. mob spawns dump you right in the middle of fights and you can't really effectively pick off mobs with sniper rifles as they sway heavily, often times direct hits with them don't count as i've put 5 or 6 headshots into a mob with every single one showing a effect of hitting the wall directly behind his head, this also applies to when they are behind cover. Making sniping near worthless.

    The classes are bland and the skills are again just various stat boosts no real innovative ways to build characters just min maxing stats and its boring as hell.

    The story is atrocious as the main villains are literally youtubers, its like they were trying to make a statement about how they hate them especially given how they have been sending literal thugs illegally to youtubers houses before the game released to try and intimidate them. The dialogue is so incredibly cringey its like they didn't even hire writers, the jokes are bad and unfunny in every way, your favorite characters have been butchered in bland pointless characters and the deaths in the game that should feel meaningful don't even hit a single emotional beat as by that point in the game you've probably checked out like i did. IT felt less like a story and more like fetch quest the game.

    The is so little enemy variation, prior games did a dance between wildlife, bandits, aliens and unique bosses to keep things fresh. The wildlife is barely in the game and the monsters / aliens all play the same as do the bosses, everything feels the same like your grinding the same first stage over and over and over infinitely. It gets so old so fast specially given the lack of ways to play and the lackluster weapons.

    This is like how borderlands 2 the prequel felt like it has lost its touch a bit but this one full on derailed and has no magic left. If your into repetitive boring, grind fests while playing a bullet sponge as you literally sit in the open and pick off enemies then this game is for you. They have literally downgraded or outright destroyed every aspect of what made 1 and 2 great, I mean I got to level 20 skipping every side after the first few as they were just terrible, repetitive shooting galleries and when I got to 20 I realized, why am I playing this game? I'm literally not having any fun and the more I play the more I hate it as the effort put in only seems to go down the further you get in the game. Thats not even getting into the woke elements that I don't care to have shoved down my throat when I play a video game.

    Congrats gearbox you've taken a incredible game and literally run it into the ground with unoriginal ideas and milked the franchise dry. I won't be buying another 2k or gearbox game again, this feels like duke nukem forever or fallout 76 levels of crap. DO NOT BUY THIS

    The landscape of gaming has changed a lot since Borderlands first arrived. #3 doesn't do anything to adapt or invent anything, and that's okay. However, in terms of humor and story, Borderlands 3 is woeful garbage. It's such a silly premise, and could be a really engaging and fun story, but instead its hard headed, mean and regressive. All the characters are wasted. It's like a dungeonsThe landscape of gaming has changed a lot since Borderlands first arrived. #3 doesn't do anything to adapt or invent anything, and that's okay.

All the characters are wasted. It's like a dungeons and dragons campaign by a DM who focuses on creating characters and settings but forgets to actually make a compelling game. It's still a blast to play, and the collecting better and better guns is a wonderful loop, but it needs a serious reinvention in order to stay relevant. 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.
