Finally finished all the DLC. Ended on 1,000 gamerscore. I doubt I'll go back to it unless I get a major itch. Towards the end it just felt like such a slog and I'm grateful my class was kind of OP as it took away a lot of the grind. For now, I'm going to uninstall the game and move on.

I think Borderlands 4 is going to need to add some new systems (vaulting, double-jumps, tactics button mapping, additional melee etc) to justify its existence. The 'billion guns' angle kind of falls flat when the vast majority are near useless. I hardly changed weapons by the end game. Give us a dismantling system, an upgrade tree, transmog - anything. The game is stupidly fun but it needs to make a few changes to stand out as many fps have started to do what they started but a lot better.

My friends and I found out the game is way more enjoyable if you simply mute the entire npc dialogue so that's what I recommend you as well.

[MAJOR SPOILERS FOR BASE BORDERLANDS 3. CAN'T BLUR THE VIDEO SO YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED]

Holy shit. Gotta say fuck crunch because of what we got in the release cut because that felt like a first draft compared to this. If the game were delayed just enough, the story would've left less of a bad taste in our mouths for us with this scene. I could give a million reasons why this is better than what we got. Maya's death wasn't swept under the rug. The reactions towwrds her death were given a lot more time than the awkward speech. KRIEG HAS AN APPEARANCE IN THIS SCENE! How she feels like she could've done more. The tone is a lot more serious and heartfelt instead of unfunny jokes in between and after. And it makes Ava less of a whiny prick and more synpathetic. I yearn for this to be the actual scene in the game.

Can't wait to upgrade to the Series X version (picking it up this afternoon) and getting back into this. The season pass 2 seems promising. Might be worth picking it up just to play Arms Race.

I have played all the Borderlands games on PC and this one by far has been my favorite. I enjoyed it so much went achievement hunting >.<.

Story is good, gameplay is good, loot is good. Enjoy shooting my friends.

What a dumb, fun game. There is nothing amazing here, but the basic loop is really good: mow down enemies, get loot. I love all the weird, wacky guns with strange reloads, funky mechanics, alternating fire modes, and different feels. This is what the series does best and it satisfies almost enough on its own.

What a dumb, fun game. There is nothing amazing here, but the basic loop is really good: mow down enemies, get loot. I love all the weird, wacky guns with strange reloads, funky mechanics, alternating fire modes, and different feels. This is what the series does best and it satisfies almost enough on its own.

The story is serviceable; better than Pre-Sequel. The characters are almost all repeats from BL2 and that is fine. Although the game goes to different worlds besides Pandora, the maps still feel very familiar. All of this feels like video game equivalent of comfort food, but I don't care.

I can pick it up for a while and enjoy that loot-loop. I don't feel the need to ever complete it, nor will I feel bad if I just put it down and don't return.

Never have I been so infuriated at a game in a very long time. Never have I seen one scene shit on a story to make it nosedive from mediocre to garbage. There are so many plotholes in this imfamous scene that I could go on a fucking tangent right now. I will talk about the many problems that I have with this travesty of a story once I start writing a review for this game.

The skags make dog whimpers. Therefore, I'm giving this game a 0/10 for making me feel like a bastard for killing them.

I'm finally writing about Borderlands 3.

It's not a review (too late for that), but a short essay about the irrelevance that the main characters of the game have in the plot. That's something not limited to 3 that affects the entire franchise (well, except the amazing Tales of the Borderlands).

Finished the game. I didn't go much on how it ended. Thematically, it doesn't make a whole lot of sense given that it should have been 'our' journey and not someone else's since we did all the work. Still, it leaves a lot of interpretations for how the DLC could go.

Give us a chance, and maybe some day you can say you got in on the ground floor of the best D-list podcast you've ever heard. We are also on Spotify, Google Play, and Apple Podcasts (although I'm being told that there's some kind of issue with Apple Podcasts that has to be fixed, maybe?).

People talking about the story being 'atrocious', and 'bad' might have some personal grievances with the game. Myself, I don't necessarily think it's wonderful and above-average story-telling but I don't think it's as bad as people are making it. It's a story. Could it have been better? I guess.

Myself, I don't necessarily think it's wonderful and above-average story-telling but I don't think it's as bad as people are making it. It's a story. Could it have been better? I guess. But the Borderlands games aren't known for their story-telling, they're known for the loot and sheer insanity which is what Borderlands 3 has in spades.
