Didn't finish, but honestly the game felt the same to me and after 20 hours and an unengaging story, I was ready to move on.

Every single NPC constantly talking for 5 minutes straight ruined the pacing of the game so badly.

Every single NPC constantly talking for 5 minutes straight ruined the pacing of the game so badly.

And they added these so called "cool" villains here too. Ohhh, heeey, yeeeahh, suuure, guess what ? guess not ? these kind of lines they have. Someone really thinks teenagers speak like that int the daming industry. And they sound like they have a meat inside their nose. Like the one interview Miley Cyrus spoke like a frog.

Otherwise it's a classic Borderlands experience.

My first character save was corrupted somehow. Thankfully only lost two hours. Sucks I have to start over again though.

This game RULES. This plot is really interesting, gameplay is smooth as butter, and honestly I like the villains way more than Handsome Jack, which might put me in a small camp of people to think that but what else is new. I'm always the outsider.

This is honestly great. I do NOT understand the backlash. Then again, the backlash rarely makes sense, so. The only Borderlands game to outright suck was the first.

Got a copy off eBay for 10 bucks, with all the DLC, and so far this is a blast. Will this be another unfairly judged game? Feels like it could be. We'll see.

Started playing this again on Steam Deck. Man this formula is still fun to me, though it helps that I took a long break from it. I am actually fairly close to the end and started playing the mission with “Mickey Tricky” wherein you are beta testing an early access game that the NPC tells you has a lot of a bugs…. And then the game hard crashes. Had to reset my Steam Deck.

Too meta….

Borderlands 3 agarra todas las bases de los anteriores borderlands y las mejora, un mejor sistema de combate, más variedad de armas y personajes a elegir todos con distintas habilidades entre sí, una historia disfrutable aunque un poco corta a comparación del juego anterior

Great game mechanics but patethic writing (and poor chara-design). How it feels to spend tens of hours playing Borderlands 3? Waste of time.

2.5/5 at best...

The writing in this really is as obnoxious as people say. I'd even take a relatively bland similar game like The Division over style and personality that I actively dislike, if they're going to force me to sit through it. And they really do, since the dialogue is baked into the game in such a way where in the limited time I played, I had very little opportunity to skip or even ignore any of it. Instead there were several instances of just... standing around in control of my character while people talk at me, or getting stuck following irritating characters around (and their AI pathing may randomly decide to mess up to drag it out a bit more). The action feels nice and punchy, and I liked the first two games back in their day, but it's been a long decade of changing tastes and standards since then, and there are other more personally appealing options out there (aka Destiny 2). I could tell pretty quickly that me and this game weren't quite going to work out.
