    Borderlands 3 has surpassed the bar that its predecessor had set. The story is grand in scale, the humor is on-point and updated to 2019, weapons are diverse and the new Vault Hunters are unique in every way. Every BL-fan must pick this game up.

    Borderlands 3 is the best game Gearbox has ever made. The weapons are interesting and goofy, the battles are intense and tricky, and the multiple open-worlds are beautiful and full of challenging missions. For Chinese gamers, it might be the most immersive 3A game in recent years because of the wonderful Chinese voice acting.

    Maybe it’s not the most innovative game out there, but Borderlands 3 is a total must have for loot shooter fans.

    Borderlands 3 isn’t a franchise altering game, but it does manage to combine great gunplay, an expansive world, and stellar co-op into a great overall package.

    Those new to Borderlands will find some aspects confusing at first – Borderlands 3 is minimal when it comes to tutorials – but if they persist, they will end up luxuriating in the joyous, tongue-in-cheek, comic book-influenced fun it provides. Sure, it fails to turn the franchise into something new and futuristic in gameplay terms. But why would it, when its original conception was already immaculate?

    Borderlands 3 is more Borderlands, and all the loot that entails. This proper sequel improves upon the formula with more guns, but more importantly, a stretch of unique planets to kill enemies on. The new planets offer more visual variety and a great evolution of enemy encounters. The tuning is clearly meant for more than one player, making a punitive experience at times for the solo Vault Hunter. Despite the formula growing a bit stale, Gearbox has expanded upon it in the right way, resulting in a great Borderlands experience.

    Gearbox is at their best when they’re engineering the act of shooting something. If their game would just shut up and let the gleeful gunplay speak for itself, Borderlands would go a lot further. Instead, the gunplay is clogged up with meaningless loot, smugly unfunny jokes, and lots of using the same ol’ gun while waiting for the parsimonious skill point drip to finally drop. Where’s the glee in all that?

For what it's worth, most of these issues only occur in the post-mainquest-endgame, so if you wanna just do the mainquest and side quests, this game is pretty bug-free.

    tl;dr- an extremely fun mess. Try to get it on sale with all the DLCs.    … Expand

I couldnt even play the game at the beginning because of it. Not only that, launching the game sometimes causes me to have a crash error.

    4 hours in and I can tell the story of the game is borderline poor and it doesnt help that we cannot complain or state anything because there is no place to discuss it ( like a forum )

    Lastly, those people who give it a 10/10 ,To give it that high rating but your review is based on stating " people who review bomb it and give it 0 OR its a EGS "are either having their head up their ass or this is just a marketing PR bullsh*t. Most people that give 1-4 score are stating the obvious, that is frame rate issues and other stuffs, not about exclusivity and other crap    … Expand
