The graphics and gameplay has greatly improved from the last entrees, but it falls short on storytelling and characters that it promised to deliver. As good as the game plays, it is rarely replayable for me and other fans of the series. The game seems 'too easy' for me and not really that challenging to be awarded with multiple powerful weapons. At this point, this game feels like a cash-grab after the failure of Battleborn rather than an actual sequel that can push the Borderlands series forward.… Expand

    The Xbox One version of this game has two widely known, serious technical issues that have still not been fixed by the game’s developer. One issue is that the game causes some Xbox One X consoles to completely shut down at random times (sometimes twice in one hour, sometimes once in a couple of hours). This forces you to power on the console and restart the game.

One issue is that the game causes some Xbox One X consoles to completely shut down at random times (sometimes twice in one hour, sometimes once in a couple of hours). This forces you to power on the console and restart the game. The other technical issue is that the game has very long loading times (especially the initial load screen where Claptrap dances) even when you install the game on an external SSD. The combination of random complete shutdowns and long loading times is extremely annoying. In terms of content, the story is noticeably weaker than Borderlands 2. The menu system is a bit complicated. However, the new characters are cool and fun to play, the weapon variety is impressive, and the gaming mechanics are vastly improved over the previous games.… Expand

    Not as good as Borderlands 2 but still good enough for me. Graphics were obviously great but story wise, it fell short of part 2 and the Pre-Sequel. However, overall, I say it is good enough.

Относительно свежую третью же часть облагородили и, как по мне, сделали всё возможное дабы бесповоротно и всерьёз залипнуть в нее до упора. Как же Borderlands 3 не хватает русской озвучки. Тут ведь такой мир, такие персонажи и история ну очень увлекательная и веселая. Очень надеюсь, что может быть к части четвёртой не нужно будет всё время смотреть в низ экрана, улавливая все тонкости происходящего, а текста тут ну очень много, я бы сказал, что минута тишины в этой игре без чьего бы то ни было трёпа просто на вес золота. Хотя меня это дело не особо напрягало, обидно лишь что приходилось периодически разрываться между происходящим на экране действием и содержанием общения - тяжёлое бремя насыщенных историй с качественной визуальной составляющей. Играем мы на выбор за одного из четырёх персонажей, каждый из которых по своему колоритен и имеет свои характерные только для него навыки ведения боя. Мы с женой играли за Моуз и ее механического медведя, которого периодически можно призывать в помощь для ведения боя. Этакий кусочек Titanfall в Borderlands. В арсенале у нас 4 ячейки для оружия, что я просто считаю идеальным раскладом для полного тактического расклада ведения боя, гранаты - разнообразие которых поражает воображение, силовой щит и прочие гнезда для всевозможных перков. Прокачивать перса, комплектоваться оружием, модифицировать механического медведя по ходу игры безумно интересно. По поводу оружия, кстати говоря, в Borderlands 3 видов его неимоверно много, где-то оно конечно повторяется, но всё же от начала и до конца игры, достаточно продолжительной, я вам скажу, постоянно попадалось что-то новенькое. Благодаря процедурной генерации оружия, в игре свыше миллиарда его вариаций для которых записано более 7,5 тысяч звуковых дорожек. Серьезно, я в это охотно верю. Что уж говорить, если есть даже пушка, стреляющая пушками!!!… Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Good, But...
    The Gameplay and the variety of guns are great in Borderlands 3, And it really is fun to play alone and with friends!
    The side quests are great and way better than the main ones.
    The Main Story is bad, really bad. The Villains are awful! I first thought hey the twins are cool but when I logged in and started playing, I really wanted to stab my eye.
    They are annoying, sure. But why do Villains act like Streamers?Why?
    The Main Missions are repetitive, and in almost every case you need to talk to the highly glorified Firehawk!
    The game mostly ran smoothly on my Xbox one X.

    I loved every Vault Hunters skill tree and customization, while customization was outstanding in the Skill Trees more would have been possible.

    Verdict: I give it an 8/10, as of 30/08/20, at launch it was not better than a 6/10, but with the many dlcs released and many incoming, it is a good game. Sure, it suffers in its writing, but the entertaining side quests and the awesome gameplay make up for it.    … Expand

    Great game when it actually works. Playing on a one X is buggy as anything, co op is almost always bound to crash every hour or so, the game cuts out, graphical glitches, sound glitches and a lot of the achievements are bugged also. Game is solid, but unfortunately is too broken to recommend

    BL3 overcomplicated the series' renowned "Over a Bazillion Guns" Claim by overflowing each brand with an unnecessary amount of RNG passives and alt-fire modes. While improving on a dated system is usually a good thing, what Gearbox did with BL3 is awful because the system wasn't dated. In fact, it was simplicity with light variety that attracted the series' fans in the first place.

    The story is mediocre, but so many people have said that already that I'd just be screaming into the wind, so I'm just going to bring up BL3's miserable voice action. Next to no one, not even the returning VAs, gave good performances. Some gave no effort at all and others overembellished their character's quirks (yes, I'm talking about Claptrap's new VA). A good example of the former is Colleen Clinkenbeard, the voice of Lilith, whose performance was so terribly phoned in that if you listen closely I'm certain you'd be able to hear static from the poor cellphone reception.

    I usually review only on the Microsoft store, but quite sadly my negative review was removed suspiciously around the time the game was receiving review bombs from anti-LGBTQ individuals. It's clear that someone, either at 2K or Microsoft. used that situation to not just remove the bombs, but most negative reviews about the game.    … Expand

We were so sure of this game we pre-ordered the big pack that included all the DLC. We thought there was no way Borderlands could go wrong. They had a winning model and a ton of backstory and a million ways to take this game.

    So the good:
    Hammerlock's plot in this was fantastic. Lots of fun to play.
    The guns are great, the combat system is great. It's a bit weird to change midget's to tink's but ok. The generic enemies are ok. All the sound effects and graphics are lots of fun and satisfying. Overall, the game side of things is what I've rated here. It's a 7, I'm rating high.

    The bad:
    The #1 problem with the game is the writing. They butchered a lot of old characters. You see this with Moxxi the most. In Borderland's 2 she was a 'best served cold' businesswoman. She handled her business and did what she liked, but when she went after people you really felt it was deserved. She was someone that you didn't want to cross. But she wasn't cruel and a **** about it. In this game they took her over the line and she becomes really unlikable. I think they were going for her dominatrix-style but they've never met a dominatrix before and just have a really poor understanding of what that is.

    She's only one of the many characters who had a personality change. This is pervasive with almost all the returning characters.

    The plot plain isn't good. Imagine if someone handed the writing department a bunch of basic character profiles and told them to write from that. That's what it seems has happened here. I agree with the other commenter that the bad guys weren't terrible, they were just more vaguely annoying than actual bad guys you wanted to fight. They lacked an A to Z character development that they did so well with Jack. Where at first they're just fun and evil and then you really want them to die.

    Remember in Borderland's 2 (spoilers) where certain characters died? You were sad right? Maybe you cried? You FELT that.

    You don't feel anything in this game. Nothing. We laughed at the ending. Not a genuine 'we're enjoying this laugh' but the way you laugh at bad movies. Where it's just so ridiculous you can't believe someone made it. Again, it's the writing. We noticed how rushed it felt and, while we don't know how things went down for the development team, the fact they were running around having fun and wasting time months before this ever came out, and that there were 7 years tells us they had no business rushing the game.

    Lots of empty space with nothing to fill it on the maps.

    It seems like...not a lot of work went into this. And it's a shame. Because if another one comes out later down the line, I don't know if I'll buy it. I can't recommend it. Even rating it higher than I should.    … Expand

    The graphics, music, guns, levels, everything was awesome. Who seriously gives a crap about story when you have a Diablo like FPS game here? What boggles my mind is that people give this a low scores because of the story, when in fact MOST GAMES HAVE CRAPPY STORIES, ESPECIALLY loot games like these. Sorry, but this is all about the gameplay. And if anyone has even played a recent Nintendo game, they would know those games are basically only about gameplay ever, with little to no story (Mario? Lol)

    So if you like addicting gameplay and good voice acting, nonstop action and unlimited lootable items and always upgrading your character, you will love this game. The bonus here imo is the story, because there are tons of cool characters and dialogue and what not.    … Expand

Lets face its, alot of the guns in the game are crap, but also a hell of a lot of them are amazing, It took me a while to get a good inventory built up for myself, but if you just stick with it and grind a little bit you will have fun, for me its almost like materialistic, even though the amazing shield i have and the vast number of guns i have are not real and are all part of a digital thing, i feel some sort of ownership and pride for my collection and i will just go through all them and admire them, no other game has been able to satisfy this weird urge i have to have the best gear and the gear that's highly sought after. The graphics are amazingly well done, the art direction is stellar, especially on a 4k tv, idk how many people worked on the design of each and every weapon but every weapon is different and detailed uniquely, even if its minor, its noticeable when you use it, so much creativity and soul has been put into the art and design of these guns and the feel of every gun has nice impact that makes you feel tactile when shooting! Just the feast your eyes get when the screen flashes gold when you level up and the big text shows up above showing your new level is suppppper satisfying! the fact that when you kill a boss they basically explode with cash and loot and sometimes legendary weapons shoot into the air and then fall to the ground is something of a treat that is seldom given to you in other games. Ever since the first game, i saw potential in the series but i didn't expect it to come this far. The environments are much more vast and different from each other, you never get bored of staying in a world because within the world there's beautiful vistas to travel around in and just explore and find loot and hidden secrets and bosses. The characters are also very well written the little nuance things they will utter is actually funny or clever, even the enemy characters say some hilarious stuff, i remember i killed an enemy once and she said "i soiled myself!!" as she died, little things like that are what makes the moment to moment gameplay very interesting and addicting, But the game is about the guns and man are they amazing, there's a gun that shoots out other guns, there's guns that will talk to you, there's guns from pop culture like the gun from The 5th Element movie, easter eggs galore!!!!, from the ridiculous but clever names of bosses and the indigenous wildlife of the game to the flavor texts of each gun and item, they're really are some good zingers and references from the last decade of pop culture in this game and you will be charmed for sure. Theres a legendary grenade that you can get from a certain creature that you will run across named after a popular Mexican crypto that will drop it if you can kill it that homes in on the nearest enemy when you toss it, and on the flavor text shows just one word "Cabron" which makes me think cmon!! you gotta appreciate the little things! and the effort they put into just a description on a grenade mod, that's not the only clever stuff you will see in the game, they just know how to take jabs at our pop culture past and present, its satire and just damn badass and makes you proud of the times we live in. Get the game and you will be blown away!… Expand

    Builds on but doesn't reinvent the things that were good in BL2. There more gun, maybe to many at times and more special moves. The character are pretty crap but the overall package is very enjoyable. An the fact they had the good sense to include a 60 FPS mode is a huge boon to the game. No FPS game should run under 60 fps.

    Mais rien de nouveau sous le soleil non plus et on se lasse pour commencer étonnamment rapidement de ces combats, dès les premières heures ! on s'en lasse d'autant plus que l'espèce d'histoire (?) est encore plus conne qu'avant et que les personnages y sont encore plus débiles que dans les épisodes précédents... Plus provocateur sans doute mais surtout beaucoup plus vulgaire, ce BL3 se complaît dans la facilité du kikoolol, ses clins d'oeil lourdingues et son humour de fond de latrines.

    L'ennui se fait donc sentir très lourdement, aussi lourdement par exemple que le temps d'une minute 10 pour aller simplement au menu principal de ce sale jeu de merde. Puis, ensuite 30 à 40 secondes pour enfin charger le niveau ! et on cherche -pourtant- encore les améliorations graphiques de ce jeu cartouneux par rapport aux précédents... à part la résolution en tout cas !

    Borderlands 3 may not be clever, but it is very big – and above all else, the source of a vast well of over-the-top shooting fun and mayhem. Be thankful that Gearbox refused to reinvent the franchise just for the sake of it. [Issue#183, p.73]

    Rather than trying to latch on to current trends, Borderlands 3 stands confident in the fact that there’s still no other game that does exactly what this series does so well. The sheer creativity and inventiveness presented in its arsenal is hard to match, and while the humor may not be for everyone, it keeps the gameplay in perspective as we’re all just here to have a good time. It isn’t as big of a leap forward as Borderlands 2, but it’s well-refined and there’s a lot to experiment with to keep you coming back for more.
