Borderlands 3

The game is good overall, story is mid, but you have alot of freedom when it comes to combat and your play style. The spyware stuff is bullshit, most of the internet (google, big game companies like 2k, EA, etc.) also uses the same agreements and "spyware" that is prevelent in the updated EULA. Please do more research instead of becoming mindless keyboard warriors for no reason.

The gameplay in Borderlands 3 feels good, and overall it feels like a more polished version of its predecessors. However, the writing is like someone took bad humor that tries way too hard to be funny and bad storytelling and put them together in a blender. The result feels kind of like that one kid who always tried so hard to be funny and made up stories to make himself seem cooler and funnier than he actually was. It's honestly just a cringe-fest at times. The gameplay is good, but please don't ever let these writers cook again.

[h1] DO NOT DOWNLOAD THIS [/h1] I'm sure by now you've seen other comments mention it, by all means ANYONE you know who currently has ANY borderlands game, other games by Take-Two and 2K games. PLEASE convince them to uninstall said games made by them, these new Terms of Service are bordering over being classed as ILLEGAL yet it isn't. Mods, VPNs can now get you banned, regardless if your playing on singleplayer and multiplayer with friends. NO ONE deserves to have a key logger & spyware under the disguise of a game on their pcs/laptops. I've already had a good friend become a victim of this crap, do the right thing and warn others! [h1] PLEASE SPREAD THIS MESSAGE! [/h1]

I want my money back that I PAID AT THE TIME on all my Borderlands games. Steam i am telling you to sort this out with this company or refund me for what i paid on all Borderlands games. I did not agree to a change on the terms after i bought a game. I DID NOT AGREE. Also these games are decades old and now they want to change the terms. I did not agree for them to steal my data and use and sell it to other people. I just wanted to play a f... ...king game and yet my money taken, data sold and spyware on my PC. Companies and Devs, take note....STOP THIS CRAP NOW. We are fed up with your terms and stealing our data and forcing us to accept your terms just to play a f.. ..king game and then you still bill me for it as well. I WILL NOT BE BUYING BORDERLANDS 4 and will avoid this company like the PLAGUE!

I waited until the largest sale ever for this game, and purchased it for $3. It was a waste of $3.

make the game free so they make money selling all of ur advertising info and everything else they collect to sell, 2k and gearbox are absolute scum

Updating the EULA for a product post-purchase is illegal in my country. Even more so if the product is held hostage, forcing the user to agree to an illegal EULA.

I’ve been a loyal fan of the Borderlands series for years, but this new Terms of Service update is beyond unacceptable — it’s a blatant insult to the entire player base. This isn’t a simple legal update. This is a robbery clause, plain and simple. You’re forcing players to give up their rights, including the right to class action and fair legal recourse, just to keep playing a game we’ve already paid for. That’s not a contract — that’s coercion. Worse still, these changes were rolled out with zero transparency, no real opt-out option, and buried in legal jargon. It's a slap in the face to anyone who values digital rights or consumer protection. You are treating your community not as players, but as data farms and revenue streams to be exploited without shame. I refuse to accept this erosion of trust and autonomy. Shame on you for thinking this would go unnoticed — and even more shame for thinking we’d accept it.

Let me clear something up real quick: TakeTwo does not want your data for its own purposes, and even if they did, they would have to purchase it from elsewhere instead of collecting the data itself. We clear? Okay, now I can continue The recent change to the EULA is unacceptable, anti-consumer practice. I did not pay for a company to collect data on my computer and sell it off for profit. I did not pay for a single-player game to bar me from play if I modify it in any way. I did not pay for an anti-cheat that bricks the game on Linux computers. And you should not either

Runs amazing on the Steam deck! I first had it on epic games launcher for free, didnt run at all on the deck so I purchased it on steam to try. and it plays perfectly. Never would of thought i could play my favorite game series on the go! Thanks Gabe N. and GearBox frfr <3 Just so yall know so far all borderlands ive tried works good on deck, including the tiny tina series.

Locking people out of a product they paid for because you updated the agreement 16 years later (2009 to 2025) is unacceptable. There doesn't even need to be a discussion about how horrible the new terms are... giving up your rights to join a CA lawsuit. All the data stealing. Potentially locking you out for modding a single player game. etc Just the thing I started with is enough to warrant a negative review.

This game is honestly abysmal with a stale gameplay loop and a story with writing so depressingly awful it would make post nut clarity seem like a pleasant experience, but the real reason I give this filth a thumbs down is because of their changes to the EULA. They have turned their games into spyware that collects any and all information you've given them including name, age, and billing information. Stay the hell away from this game and anything under the umbrella of 2K and Take-Two if you can help it.

BL1 was fun, BL2 was even better. BL3 doesn't live up to either. Considering all the current controversy with 2K and gearbox, BL4 is probably DOA, even if the underlying game is fine. Back to BL3, the story is uninteresting, very cringy, and just tries to force characters and issues that are just straight up unappealing and not relevant to BL fans. The guns are the slight improvement mechanics-wise, but the endgame eventually devolves into same enemy bullet sponges such that 99% of drops become useless. Lots to live up to, lots of potential, BL3 meets none of it and falls short.

Although this game is enjoyable, and I could talk for hours about what it means to me, the publishers actions lead to me to not recommend this game. The publisher, 2K Games, has added sweeping data-mining and privacy-infringment to their license agreement for all their games. You might be interested to know that this includes USERNAMES and PASSWORDS, as well as FULL CREDIT CARD DETAILS. This is addition to the Root-level access to your machine that they require for their anti-cheat. I don't know if anyone will see this review out of the 123,000 or so current ones, but if you do, I would ask you ask to consider supporting another publisher/development team that doesn't despise or carry malicious intent against its own customers.

I will include below the terrible over reaching dystopic spyware EULA/Terms Of Service Below, but that's not even why I'm giving this a game a thumbs down. By God, the dialogue in this is beyond atrocious, and this is from someone who generally can stomach crappy writing. I have NEVER in my life had to go out of my way to not only mute the characters so they don't speak, but also have to get rid of subtitles. I felt a cancer tumor form in my brain when characters spoke and the villain is atrocious and cringe inducing. They tried recreating that Handsome Jack magic by having the villain talk to you constantly through your radio and it's really effective at making me want to do the villian's job and just end it all myself. Not even the gunplay could keep me from trying to turn the barrel towards myself after the inevitable moment a character would open their mouth and exposite what some would call "dialogue" which if you ask me is more fitting to be labeled as a verbal lobotomy. If this game was judged on how quickly it could sap the will to carry on in this dark cruel world, it would get a 10/10, but unfortunately that's not the case so I'll have to give it a genuine 2/10. Now staple on the spyware EULA issue and this game is essentially less than worthless, it's harmful. Here's the TOS/EULA Important Info in Terms of Service: • Mods are a bannable offense • Display of Cheats/Exploits is bannable • Forced arbitration clause and a waiver of class action and jury trial rights for all users residing in the United States and any other territory other than Australia, Switzerland, The United Kingdom, or The Territories of The European Economic Area • You can be banned for using a VPN while connecting to online servers • Cannot access game content on a Virtual PC Collected Data Types: • Identifiers / Contact Information: Name, user name, gamertag, postal and email address, phone number, unique IDs, mobile device ID, platform ID, gaming service ID, advertising ID (IDFA, Android ID) and IP address • Protected Characteristics: Age and gender • Commercial Information: Purchase and usage history and preferences, including gameplay information • Billing Information: Payment information (credit / debit card information) and shipping address • Internet / Electronic Activity: Web / app browsing and gameplay information related to the Services; information about your online interaction(s) with the Services or our advertising; and details about the games and platforms you use and other information related to installed applications • Device and Usage Data: Device type, software and hardware details, language settings, browser type and version, operating system, and information about how users use and interact with the Services (e.g., content viewed, pages visited, clicks, scrolls) • Profile Inferences: Inferences made from your information and web activity to help create a personalized profile so we can identify goods and services that may be of interest • Audio / Visual Information: Account photos, images, and avatars, audio information via chat features and functionality, and gameplay recordings and video footage (such as when you participate in playtesting) • Sensitive Information: Precise location information (if you allow the Services to collect your location), account credentials (user name and password), and contents of communications via chat features and functionality. TL:DR- STAY AWAY

The update to the ToS makes it possible for Take-Two to record pretty much everything on your system (whatever your microphone picks up, your browsing activity, etc.), and they also want root-level access to your system. AVOID LIKE THE PLAGUE!

People who purchased a game under one agreement are rightly outraged that they need to make a completely different and unacceptable agreement to continue playing the game they bought, with no opportunity to get a refund.

Imagine making a iconic series of games, leaving them to be as they should have given were not only completed, but supported by a ongoing mod community for years. Now imagine years later doing a "update" no one asked for that gave the middle finger to the mod community that went undisturbed for years, making your application Spyware and then making your games free/on sale for 5$. ??????? What did they mean by this? Anyway, if you want to play this, go set sail. And yes, you can still play with friends on deck.

What a bunch of insipid, greedy, spineless folks. Do not give this team any money. Ever. GearBox should be buried alongside every greedy, malicious, insignificant gaming company that pulls anything this predatory. I hope their whole executive team feels the hurt - the devs don't deserve it, but hopefully this is the end of Randy Pitchford's pathetic contribution to gaming.

Garbage alert! the new ToS: -Mods are a bannable offense -You can be banned for using VPN while connecting to online servers -Cannot access game content on Virtual PC

You need a mod that skips all dialogue to actually be able to play this game. Since mods are not allowed anymore with new TOS(along with all the spyware implemented in update and TOS), this game unfortunately became unplayable.

This might actually be the worst game I have ever played but luckily they added spyware so now I have a reason to never play the game again.

Scumbag TOS changes. Corporate executives and lawyers are the biggest blight that gaming has ever seen. Played many hours of all BL titles on console but I guess that's over now and I will not be getting BL4

I have 360 hours of gameplay but will not recommend even if free. Due to EULA update, the fact BL2 is now free only solidifies theories of Spyware. If something is free you are generally the product

Game is fun However they added Spyware with INSANE amount of Data collection Literally every bit of data they can get, they will get and you can bet they WILL sell it

it is rather unfortunate that this beloved franchise is getting run down to the ground by over greedy corporations, ( witch the games make fun of ) and a out of touch CEO that just can't keep his mouth shut to stop making the real fans even more mad, and yes i'm a real fan i have play almost all borderlands games (not tiny Tina wonderlands haven't have time.) and beat them even the prequel with to me it was just total crap, but i digress i bout borderlands 3 on day one on epic store with i was't happy about (but i wanted the franchise to get another chance to chine after not getting a sequel for so long after the second one.) and again on steam, oh and another copy for my brother on steam so we could play together. I will not buy the new borderlands 4 on day one, i will not support a company that does not appreciated theirs Real fans the people who actually buy their products. and corporations that invades people lives and systems and theirs terms of service.

awful companies making awful choices for more, and more, and MORE money will be the end of gaming. its so frustrating.

Just jumping on the hate train. Wrath is my favorite deadly sin, and I have an overwhelming hatred for capitalist greed.

Updated terms of service turned these games to spyware, I used to love 'em. Now I want nothing to do with Gearbox. Good one Randy.

I own all the borderlands games, turning them into spyware is a low blow. If people that own your game want to cheat or mod in single player that 's none of your business. Games hidden, publisher ignored.

the game is good although is not as good as borderlands 2 in terms of story, but the dev is basiclly installing spyware on your computer. i have no problem since most files in my pc is porn but you guys are different

Game-play mechanics are nice but the story is lackluster, I also hate Ava and you probably do too. The game does not have spyware btw, do your research if you don't believe me.

please carefully read our terms of flushing the game rating down the toilet.

No, it's not spyware: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sJf4FChTKlg But it's still a pain in the ass to play, terrible optimization, the calipso twins and the "theme" of the game sometimes being forced, the game sometimes straight up needing a restart, either because a mission glitched or the sound is popping, some side quests are an absolute drag, it feels like a recipe for disaster. Tiny tina's was a cash crab and i think BL4 will end up the same. They do one thing right that they didn't on the previous game while breaking completely something that was fine before. Wasted potential, certified gearbox moment.

One of the most memorable games from my childhood now turned to spyware, I cannot put to words my disappointment.

Making the game nearly free doesn't make it not spyware! EULA is extremely predatory. YOU are the product, buyer. Avoid this game at all costs. Consider Saint's Row or Just Cause for similar vibes.

Take-Two and 2K games have updated all their games Terms of Service, turning this game as well as all of their other games into literal spyware. I believe in many european countries this is straight up illegal Important Info in Terms of Service: • Mods are a bannable offense • Display of Cheats/Exploits is bannable • Forced arbitration clause and a waiver of class action and jury trial rights for all users residing in the United States and any other territory other than Australia, Switzerland, The United Kingdom, or The Territories of The European Economic Area • You can be banned for using a VPN while connecting to online servers • Cannot access game content on a Virtual PC Collected Data Types: • Identifiers / Contact Information: Name, user name, gamertag, postal and email address, phone number, unique IDs, mobile device ID, platform ID, gaming service ID, advertising ID (IDFA, Android ID) and IP address • Protected Characteristics: Age and gender • Commercial Information: Purchase and usage history and preferences, including gameplay information • Billing Information: Payment information (credit / debit card information) and shipping address • Internet / Electronic Activity: Web / app browsing and gameplay information related to the Services; information about your online interaction(s) with the Services or our advertising; and details about the games and platforms you use and other information related to installed applications • Device and Usage Data: Device type, software and hardware details, language settings, browser type and version, operating system, and information about how users use and interact with the Services (e.g., content viewed, pages visited, clicks, scrolls) • Profile Inferences: Inferences made from your information and web activity to help create a personalized profile so we can identify goods and services that may be of interest • Audio / Visual Information: Account photos, images, and avatars, audio information via chat features and functionality, and gameplay recordings and video footage (such as when you participate in playtesting) • Sensitive Information: Precise location information (if you allow the Services to collect your location), account credentials (user name and password), and contents of communications via chat features and functionality.
