Borderlands 3

I haven't completed the game yet, but I'm level 19 and can say it's quite fun. It has a few problems. Multiplayer is quite buggy, and will freeze sometimes. There are returning characters and all sorts of cool ways to destroy enemies. A little complaint I have is the villans here. They are a little weak, they can be a little intresting I guess, but they can't beat Handsome Jack at all.

The gunplay is different feeling and still good. They combat mechanics are similar to Destiny, but this is a way better game than Destiny. It's just the combat that is similar. A great game, fun for everybody. However i recommend playing borderlands 2 first if you haven't, so you can appreciate the characters more. If your a borderlands fan you won't be disappointed. I give it an 8/10

This is the best of this series. The only reason i didn't give it a 10 is because it is not perfect. However, it is pretty close. The new quality of life improvements are great, gameplay is tight, and the story is very good. However, the main antagonists are not nearly as good as Handsome Jack, they try, but they dont quite get there. I will say, if the dlc finds a way to bring Jack back this game may hit a 10.

Directors Cut: After beating Tales of the Borderlands, my friend and I jumped right into this game a day afterwards, and lemme just say; it was whiplash for sure. Bringing back characters like Claptrap with a new voice actor really bummed me out. Just didn't feel like Claptrap anymore, and actually kind of found him unfunny (unlike literally every other Borderlands game). I was also not entirely used to the new mechanics in this game, as it really does feel a lot different compared to the other 3 games (1,2, and the Presequel). They also introduced new villains who gain a huge cult following among the bandits; so much in fact, they become a cult that will do whatever they say. At first, I wasn't a fan of the brother/sister duo. I actually didn't really care at all; but soon, I found them to be pretty messed up and funny. The game does a lot of stuff right, like giving you more ways to enhance your character, finally letting you able to travel to different planets that isn't Pandora or it's moon Elpis, upgraded graphics/mechanics, so so so so many different types of guns; it's definitely far from bad. But I also didn't find the story to be as amazing as its predecessor, Borderlands 2, and that COULD be because Handsome Jack is no more, but it also could be because the game just isn't as greatly written as well. I'm not entirely sure, but it's still a great Borderlands adventure. The dlc, like mostly all of Borderlands dlc, is a must play too. The Directors cut extra content, like Arms Race was boooorrriingg, like who the hell wants to play Borderlands battle Royale? Definitely not me. All of the other extra missions the directors cut gives you is fun, although not very important in the overall plot, but enjoyable.

The first dlc to Borderlands 3, Moxxi's Heist of the Handsome Jackpot, is probably the weakest of the Borderlands 3 dlcs, but it still was serviceable, and has some fun nostalgia for anyone that misses dear dear handsome Jack. Actually, now that I think about it, having this dlc to this game was a smart move. What the game desperately needed was a Handsome Jack throwback since he indeed was the best character in Borderlands 2. Although this dlc isn't anything truly special, and this dlc technically doesn't have Handsome Jack in it, it's still so much fun, and I would recommend to Borderlands fans.

Guns, Love, and Tentacles; Who doesn't love love stories, especially when they deal with Sir Hammerlock getting married on a ice planet that's inhabited by a cult who worships giant monsters. This was a blast and honestly a pretty decently sized DLC with plenty of jokes and Lovecraftian-esque landscapes. Definitely a recommended Borderlands dlc to check out ASAP.

A western-themed dlc for Borderlands titled Bounty of Blood was a no-brainer, with a brand new planet to discover that has plenty of experimental mishaps to kill. There also happens to be a mercenary group called The Devil Riders that need to be taught a lesson. Although the dlc isn't as memorable as past Borderlands dlcs before it, it's still enjoyable, and a welcoming addition to Borderlands 3's dlc.

The last dlc to Borderlands 3, Psycho Krieg and the Fantastic Fuster-cluck, had plenty of promise once it started, but it soon lost both me and my friends attention( this could be because we played binged this game far too long). Me nor my friend played as Krieg in Borderlands 2, so I can't say seeing him having his own dlc excited me, but I soon found out that his character is one of the strongest in the entire game, and with this dlc giving you both a psycho version and a normal version of Krieg, it had some awesome discourse to be had. The missions may have been slightly forgettable, but I definitely won't forget Krieg! Recommended.

In all, Borderlands 3 was fun, but 100 hours of gameplay is a lot, and it's also not on the same level as Borderlands 2, but still a must-play installment in the Borderlands machine.

Don't get me wrong, this is a popular and fun franchise with some great writing and BIG loot system but with it being a triple A title, the game has the worst performance from any game in the series. From terrible Frame rate issues to extremely slow and laggy menu loading screens, these are just the tip of the iceberg of problems. I would have been happy to wait an extra couple of months for the team to release a stable product..

First, and the most obvious part, the main story is really bad, cringe humor, half-baked story plots and annoying characters. It ignores what TPS set up with The Watcher, Athena and the "the upcoming war", and just made a mess out of things .

The gunplay (for a lack of a better word) is superb, all guns felt really good to use (even the bad ones), all the little sandbox addition to the combat, like a more flesh out enemy variaty and AI, now you can punch barrels into enemies and make enviromental damage, like shooting an oil stain with fire nearby, or shooting water with electrical damage.

The vault hunters are absolutely fantastic, their stories are interesting enough, and their abilities and build diversity are the best in all the series. Personally I am a believer in Amara Supremacy.

The DLCs were well done, all of them are actually really good story wise and add a bunch of content to the game, and this without mentioning all the free post-lunch content, like the takedowns and the season events.

This is a good quality game even without the DLCs, but if you can get the two season passes, this is one of the best looter shooter expirience ever and like it says in the tittle, maybe is not the best looter shooter, but is easily the funniest one to play.
