Borderlands 3

Good graphics, good gameplay Holy s h l t amount of guns cringe story, cringe antagonists and freaking stupid Ava It feels a whole lot different than the previous ones Still worth playing

The story is giga ass. It's infuriating, I hate Ava. Gameplay is good, buy it on sale if you liked the older Borderlands gameplay.

The writing is TERRIBLE but the actual gameplay is super fun. Ava is hands down the most annoying character in any game ever and it's not even close.

This game is underrated and over hated. Is the writing as great as 2? No. You'd find few who would say it is. Is the writing bad though? Also no. People complain about the potty humor in this game, but choose to forget Borderlands has ALWAYS had potty humor. The villains are also not terrible as people like to say. Two psychopaths creating a hit livestream for torturing people is one of the most Borderlands things ever. The biggest thing this game does for the franchise is making the gunplay feel truly good for the first time ever. Guns actually shoot where you expect them to. It feels like a modern game. The improved variety of your active abilities is something that I really hope to see added upon in 4. I know a criticism that isnt uncommon is that 3 is much easier than the other entries. While this is true, for those who continue after the campaign, you have 12 different difficulty levels you can play on, including the base difficulty. Each makes the game harder, adds modifiers, and increases loot value.

Love playing this game with friends. It feels endless and is a nice game to just relax and play together. Works great on steam deck

People don't like this one for the main story, which is kinda valid? I mean its solid but yeah, it doesn't compare to 2. However, the gameplay, settings, UI, events, characters, weapons, variety- literally everything else is better than 2 lmao. I'd even dare argue the story was enjoyable, villain dialogue corny at some points but they had a handful of funny moments in their defense. Also the settings and world building where super fun and a great time, really fun to explore and do quests in. Definitely worth getting, though I recommend getting the Pandora edition thing so you get all of its content, plus the other games. Also I want to mention how all of the DLC in this game is AMAZING in all aspects, and quite honestly makes you forget the shortcomings of the main story. My only complaint is that I wish all Mayhem modes had an option to turn off their modifiers cause they're annoying af lol, tho mode 11 solves this but its only for max difficulty. And some better optimization around sanctuary would be nice. Also big tip!!! - Turn off volumetric fog in the in-game settings, it tanks your fps and is super ugly.

I could never in my right mind recommend this to anyone. While the combat is fun, the story and the dialogue is horrible. It's so bad, it isn't even fun to make fun of. It's just so sad...

I love BL2, and I deem it my utmost favorite game of all time. BL3 has some quality of life improvements, and that is the only good thing I can say about it. The story and the characters are horrible, with not a single male admirable character present. Most characters are annoying, and most deaths are not even characterized properly through the story. These attempted shock value moments are an absolutely amateur approach to creating tension without actually building up to it. Almost all the levels blend into one another, and they seem AI generated, rather then someone actually sitting down to design them properly. The world is needlessly cluttered without actually giving thought to how to practically place world elements to make some sense and variety. And do not even get me started on the myriad of invisible walls..... The laziest way to deal with "you cannot go there, I will slap you on the wrist." I have sat down with pain to go through one playthrough so as to prepare for the upcoming BL4, and it has been a torment to finish this excrement. I could really go into intricate detail as to why this is horrendous, but it would turn into a TLDR review.

It blows my mind how, on the surface, these games look like they should be creative and inventive over the top wild fun, but they're just so boring, slow, and such a slog. Borderlands? More like Borederlands.

it feels so cheesy. none of the characters have any dept and the game leans into the silly vibe but it fails to entertain. this game's humor from the first 2h i played can be summeaized into 3 words : "Gross Equals funny" i would give the game a chance and keep playing but this game does a good job of showing what it's all about in the first hour the gun play is not satisfying and if you don't have a millennial's early 2000s sense of humor u just wont like it.

I know this game is considered a classic and is loved my many. But for me it is incredibly boring, and i can't really for the life of me bring myself to play through the beginning area. It feels more like the entire game revolves around the level and rarity around the guns. Wich severely lowers the skill celing to play the game and brings down the actual "fun" meter for me. and it really dosn't cut it for me. But what do i know? You should probably test it for yourself before you state your opinion.

This game is not for everyone. a lot of people will complain about the way the graphics look, and based their opinion on the entire game off of that. The skill trees are awesome. the fast travelling is prime. the map UI is so good. the dialog for all the characters are fantastic, creating humorous moments that get serious fast. If you enough an FPS MMORPG, this is one of them!

Was enjoying the game, got into the level 20s and then the game started having an error. The game would starting resetting my computer system, which annoys me most because i was really getting into the game

Not good, too much talking, boring unskippable story and bosses are easy. Other borderlands are better, save your money and time, dont play it.

new terms of service changes it to allow it to be malware, copy's your passwords, finds out your phone number. and to sue you if you criticize the game. do not agree to it. i know i haven't.

If you can get past the cringe dialogue Borderlands 3 is a really fun shooter with a plethora of worthwhile content on offer, there's a ton of cool loot/gear to acquire, the characters are all unique and fun to play. The gameplay in general just feels so much smoother and faster than previous entries. The driving/vehicle combat is still as awful as ever but besides that I have no other complaints here. As I said already the writing isn't good but it's also pretty easy to stomach/get through most of the time, especially if you're in co-op. It's also mostly the main story that has the worst dialogue and writing, the DLCs are much more tame in that regard. You definitely shouldn't let this stop you from trying out the game if you were interested in the gameplay but hesitating until now. I also have no technical issues to report, the game ran smoothly and without any crashes throughout my entire playtime.

A good game, though I prefer Borderlands 1. And even though Mordecai is barely in the game, he is best character.

Horrible story suffering from bad pacing and writing, but the gameplay and the vault hunters are fun. 5.8/10

terrible story, amazing gameplay. needs a skip dialogue mod off nexus to be bearable

It's solid enough if you skip as much story as possible, but this is a game that just cannot get out of its own way.

This game is alright but with the new Big Brother Behavior TOS agreement, it is not worth cow tailing to. Hellfire made a video Take Two Spies On Borderlands Players. Check it out.

story wise: absolute garbage, the only way to enjoy this game fully is to manually go in and remove the dialog files. gameplay wise: solid good fun that just about anyone familiar with borderlands can enjoy is it worth it for 60 dollars, no and never will be. either get it on an extreme sale or flat out pirate it if youre so curious.

Main story-line is so cringe it wasn't worth paying attention to. The DLC's and side quests on the other hand make the game worth it. There is plenty of content that keep gameplay from getting stale and makes it enjoyable.

dropped da ball w the story but gunplay n combat is tha best its ever been

holy moly the first hour is so full of everything but gameplay

Id say this game is pretty much boring crap. No not because of main villians, the gameplay itself is pretty hollow. Theres no reason to spend any time on big EMPTY map. Shooting is boring. Rewards are useless. Story is crap. Characters are rather annoying then interesting. Loot is garbage. theres so many boring and stupid moments i can mention... I wanted a fun colorfull shooter with Diablo sort grind for items. But i get a filler. literally a boring filler to waste your time by chasing *Fun and interesting moments*. but its never ending run. youll never hind these...

Played about 90 mins (through to level 5) before refunding. Look. Borderlands 1 had a lot of new stuff going on plus the art was contrasting against the gritty style in CoD:MW and Fallout New Vegas, but it also had a very tight opening act through to level 5. Likewise, Borderlands 2 immediately hit you with a charismatic antagonist, storyline and purpose, BUT it also had a differing opening scenery and enemies compared to Borderlands 1. It also featured a pretty tight opening act through the first few levels with Hammerlock. Borderlands 3 reverts to a Borderlands 1 open, with the player getting pushed off a bus to fight skaggs alone in a desert, and has nothing fresh behind it. The story is poorly implemented with little reasoning for the player to be there, the playable characters didn't excite me, the skills didn't feel good, map/level design was terrible. I could not tell you anything new or exciting about my playtime and I was just not having fun.

Purchase the game and all DLC when its on sale. Then you must do something very important before anything else. When you boot up the game, go to the settings and click "SOUNDS.' Look through this menu, make sure that the music isnt too loud or anything, but most importantly look for the "Dialogue" slider, and drag that all the way to zero. Make sure to hit save, then go ahead and enjoy your amazing borderlands 3 experience!

Multiplayer can just completely crash out and there is no fix for it.

Its a pretty good game, however it is terrible compared to the second game. Why is it worst? I think its hollow, something about this game feels hollow like its missing the soul that the second game had. Also its unfunny and the story is ass

Aside from the game not being that good, it has now been turned into a data harvesting and selling software, that can even get you sued if you live in the US and break the new EULA.

What are my thoughts on this game? Honestly, it's great for both players coming to the series for the first time, and Borderlands fans looking to play more of the series. I won't deny, there are flaws such as legendary loot being not as hard to get which can be both a negative and a positive. And in terms of story, in my opinion, its not terrible. 4.5/5 stars, would ABSOLUTELY recommend.

Oddly, this plays better on Steam deck. Maybe not odd as I felt like BL1 played better there too. The gameplay isn't as tight as the prior installments but it's still fun. To be fair, I am mostly going through just for the story. I played this years ago and thought it was "ok". Having played BL1 and 2, it is more enjoyable now that I know what is going on. I hope the "feel" from BL1 returns as it was much smoother. Borderlands games - at least for me - are less enjoyable at the start because you don't have any good gear, you don't have many skills, so you are forced to play with whatever you find regardless of your preferences. I've finally gotten to a point where I have a few pieces of good gear and perks, so it is getting interesting and fun. For reference, I'm at level 18 as of this review. I felt similarly in BL1 and 2.

it is a fun game to play and there are a lot of thing that you can do and i am waiting for the next one to come out so i can play that to and i am working on getting the collention of all the game but i am having problem with it but i hope to have that fix at some port

bought it just to save edit however i have over 2k hours on console and can definitely say it's the most fun endgame by far

Absolutely forgettable story, humor just doesn't hit most of the time, but the core game play loop, weapon, enemy, location variety, and game mechanics are simply top notch.

The Borderlands Serious has always been phenomenal< i grew up playing it and would always recomend it

This game is definitely a fun one! For those that love loot and shoot games this one is by far an amazing one! Highly recommend :D

games additive asf despite how old it is buddy got me into it nd i got no regrets really

shot a dude, dude f*** exploded. Beat the game. went back shot a dude. Dude f***ing exploded into loot. -10/-10 not enough australians.

It's a great game. Frankly, it's better than than the previous Borderlands games in terms of variety and gameplay. My major gripe with the game is how short the main character is. I'm not tall, but in the game all the tables come up to your chest and most other characters are taller. It's like going back to being 12 years old.

Очень долго грузит и очеть сильно тормозит, фпс в игре норм.

This game is amazing from a gameplay perspective and not very good from a story perspective. The villians are very annoying, but if you can get over that it is really fun to play both single player and multiplayer.

If you can bare the dated writing and really annoying characters this game has the best gun-play and Hunters in the whole series. The legendary drop rate is a little high for my liking making legendaries less special over all, but this balances out with the replayability of the game for those that are just here for the action. 9/10 game play 4/10 main story over all dlc rating 7.5/10

AWESOME play this game all the time can't get enough 1000,s weapons and so much more .

Long time Borderlands fanboy here. Loved the game since I first came face-to-face against Nine Toes in Borderlands 1. Borderlands 3 certainly lives up to the expectations of what a sequel should be, especially following after the stellar storyline and success of Borderlands 2. Definitely a huge game in a huge series!

Amazing gameplay, huge worlds to play and replay, a lot, by any standard, great weapons. A lot of bugs and stuttering, fps drops etc though. Best looter shooter for sure, and one ol the best shooters currently.

Decent game. Story is ass but the gameplay is fun. storymode isnt to long (which in this case is a bonus), but theres still lots to do with side missions and farming loot. if you enjoy looter shooters with characters who have a wide variety of abilities and builds youll enjoy this game alot.

Loot, Guns, body parts, and more loot. Borderlands brings that simplistic FPS to the next level with pistols that shoot RPG's. With 4 different characters and multiple types of class builds giving you hours of content. Solo is fun but CO-OP is WAY better. BL3 has some of the best FPS quality's and cannot be overlooked. Dev's constantly building on old mechanics and offering the best experience are one of the main reasons I always come back to the game
