6/10 disappointing, only fun when it let's you have fun
Good -gunplay is fantastic and fights are engaging -guns are extremely diverse and fun to use different attachments
Bad -loot sucks ass, mostly greens/blues after bosses + some set legendaries -secrets are never worth it, usually just ammo/toilet guns/white chests in hidden areas/bandit camps -dialoge is disney channel level and comedy is flat, some side quests were good but everything else felt like it had a laugh track behind it -characters became generic, worthless, blandest things imaginable -antagonists were cringey and ending was god awful -not like anyone cared about the story after handsome jack died tho that's why when they killed him they made him the main character of the next game desu -story stops gameplay way too much, most of the objectives were followed by 30+ seconds of chat boxes before the door would open/next obj would activate -maps are dead and empty, collectables feel like a chore to find/get bc they aren't hard to find or reach and you get almost nothing for them -some are even locked until end game because fuck you go backtrack with the endgame decryptor -biggest gripe: every single objective was interrupted somehow. Example: >go to point A >"NUT SU FASS ZUPEHR PHAN IE LOKD THE DUOR TOU POIENT AYY :DDDD" >"weyyyl sheeiit feyler, beyter fand them 4 keys scaytered rouynd thes heyr mayp" >find 4 keys/find alternate rout/etc >fight area boss >repeat almost stopped because of this shit I was so tired of getting to a new area and thinking "what bullshit do I have to collect this time" cont.
-every area was the same story: find person in charge--> ask for key---> they ask for help with their rival battle---> kill rival---> get key -eridium is worthless cosmetic currency with little-no reason to get after a neon skin and some heads -skill trees are boring compared to stuff like presequel, most exciting skill for gunner is making her bullets explode sometimes -badass rank(whatever it's called now) is fucking locked until end of story -side quests were mostly generic shit, rarely anything stands out -vaults were just a story upgrade and 4 chests with mostly blue/greens -barely any good bosses, most used in the beginning, then holds meh quality, then losses steam around eden-6 and continuously drops quality -menus lag all the time and some frame skips -UI has been needlessly changed and some stuff takes way too long to get to now (quests and travel especially)
Good cont. -cooperative loot stops randy asshats from vacuuming up everything -fast travel works well, but really not enough stations where they need to be -vehicles are fun and very customizable
Still fun with friends but a meh borderlands game

Most legendaries were also pretty boring, some had barely any unique action to them whatsoever And the characters were all such ass, especially the filler generals
Leo Peterson
Actual review of the game? On Yea Forums? The fuck happened do you expect anything from the future for the game?

>This is your falseflagging steam drone >Imagine to waste your time for fake reviews
Boring, Repetetive, Stale with good gun feeling and not so good gameplay. Should be a 20$ game at most
Thomas Robinson
one thing I kinda liked was how they actually got Penn and Teller to cameo in the game. because trash can memes aside its interesting that they are in the game and in an actual fun boss battle and area
Damn, this was the obly game I was excited for in a while and it turns out to be bland and bloated with shit dialogue, as well as invasive DRM. I guess I'll wait until they release it on steam and patch it
Kayden Hall
Pop culture inserts is the lowest form of creativity.
Christopher Torres
Just wait till it goes on sale for like 90% off, then it'll be gucci.
Tyler Adams
One of the biggest surprises to me, it was pretty cool
Also the boss fight was surprisingly well animated
Dominic Gomez
post your review then... oh wait, you can't.
Julian Allen
All of these things can be applied to all the borderlands games it just took you until now to realize this.
Caleb Clark
>this was the only game I was excited for you must have awful taste in games
Gabriel Gutierrez
aww mang the loot is shit again? I miss the times of good purples of bl1 especially that one store in the beginning area

If you liked the previous borderlands games you'll probably like this one. The writing is fucking terrible and the humour is truly bottom of the barrel but the game itself is really good. The gameplay is fun, the skills are varied and allow all sorts of dumb overpowered combinations, the added mobility options make traversing the land much more fun and smooth and the guns are like 10 times more satisfying than the wet fart blasters that were in Bl2, just the sounds they make plus the gore system similar to BL1 make the gunplay just feel way more satisfying than it ever has. Plus most of the guns feel varied and useful in their own way. Environments all looked very nice and have a good amount of secrets to discover, but it actually felt a bit less diverse when compared to Bl2, it also felt like there were fewer side quests (although that might just be me remembering the GOTY edition), but the main campaign was way longer than any of the games so I'd personally say that makes up for it. If you like the other borderlands games for anything other than the writing then you'll most likely enjoy this game just as much if not more. However, if you enjoy the story of dialogue of the previous games then I don't know what the fuck is wrong with you.

Don't forget the unique BLUES!

That bloatware isn't touching my PC.
Joshua Mitchell
It was the gameplay loop that kept me going mostly, the dialogue was pretty bad in 2, passable in 1.
I don't know, it's not like I don't enjoy other games. Borderlands scratches a particular looter shooter itch with more-or-less unrestricted movement (talking about verticality), decent gameplay and progression. I also usually play through the games solo.
Christopher Wright
what if I liked 1 and 2 to some extent but didn't like pre-seq or the other dlc is it like fart humor bad?
Nolan Turner
I simply don't like any of the main character designs. Both their concept and how they look.
I had the same feel with most of BL2's cast except for Maya.
Gavin Hill
does it make you have sex?

>looter-shooter itch I can get that, but the series doesn't even do that well. >secret chests have fuck-all in them worth getting >coop is guaranteed to have someone take the best stuff without telling you >boss fights drop weapons which are almost always better than everything else at that level, making everything else pointless unless you go for 100% >can go an entire game and see maybe one legendary weapon, which may be from a type you don't use, or eclipsed by something else >final boss can drop you legendary cosmetics nobody will see

The dialogue is so bad it's good.
Brody Cooper
the first game had good loot the second game had shit loot then it got updated and now the way you get stuff is by killing certain enemies no idea how loot works in pre sequel it looks like 3 has better loot this time around more akin to the first game
Julian Long
>If you liked the previous borderlands games you'll probably like this one.
You niggers said that about BL2 and the pre-sequel too, and I hated both of those.
Mason Baker
>is it like fart humor bad? At times, yes. It's a lot of piss shit and sex jokes as well as le epic pop culture references. Honestly it's about the same as 2 for the most part. Their worse problem is not knowing when to drop a joke. They can't just keep a joke at a subtle one off sentence or a funny little detail in the scenery. They have to make someone scream the joke into your ear for a few minutes to make sure you got the joke. I know nuance and subtlety aren't exactly something that Gearbox has ever done but Tales from the Borderlands showed just how good the humour could be whne you have decent writers and I can't drop that, just seeing what Gearbox did to Rhys and Vaugn does a really good job at explaining just how bad they are in comparison.
Logan Carter
This game contains strong themes of brutal femdom.

Watch him cower and recoil as he's been found out.
Jack Barnes
I'm not sure if it's that or if they are trying to make it so obvious it's redundant kinda like said but on purpose, doubt it tho
Bentley Nguyen
It suffers from all of the problems of looter games, while also being filled with it's own shitty problems. The humor is fucking awful, it's full of bugs and performance issues, all the guns and characters look like ass, etc.
5/10, would unironically play Destiny over this.
Xavier Cruz
>is it fart humor bad? Theres a poop gun. So yes.

The loot is fine; every gun is usable at all rarities, outside of maliwan. Purples are generally better than the legendary guns outside of a few best in class options. Grenades, shields, class mods are active ass though. Aesthetic items clogging up the loot pool is the biggest issue regarding loot in game, kill a boss and your only purple is a fucking keychain.
>Great Guns feel and sound great Movement is best it’s ever been Scaling is fixed so gear is usable for up to 15ish levels Purples are god tier as they should be Enemies don’t lock you out of damage types like robots did for the entire second half of 2 World bosses not tied to quests >meh Maps are bigger than shit so cars are mandatory Legendary weapons are super gimmicky Grenades are no longer god tier Shields are pretty forgettable Bosses are damage sponges Most of the PCs of 2 are missing, although this may be a pro as the ones who do show up are subject to the writing Lilith ironically does nothing wrong New elemental type is forgettable Manufacturers mail you new gear the more kills you get with their weapons >bad The little shit apprentice kid Maliwan guns are terrible Space ship is ass to navigate The little shit talks only in screaming Characters are constantly talking “Plot” Keychains and other bullshit takes the place of actual gear in drops Shops are borderline useless Menus are slow and clunky Takes forever to load into the game More borderlands writing
