Borderlands 3

The core gameplay mechanics work beautifully, shooting hasn't felt this amazing in a borderlands game before, the ability to slide and mantle onto ledges makes the core loop of shooting and looting even more satisfying than the previous games. But unfortunately those new additions can't save the game from poor pacing and a lackluster story that leaves much to be desired, mix that with really forgettable villains and a horrible mid section on eden 6 that last far too long

Borderlands 3 definitely went the wrong road in story but the right direction in gameplay

If you're like me who loved the story of borderlands 2 you won't find that here If you're someone who is here for just the story and a laugh then it's definitely the game for you

Pros: Fantastic loot Movement system is a major step up New vault hunters are all a welcome addition

Cons: Boring story Empty worlds Poor pacing and mid section

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..

The game just dropped so it has some glitches but the game is still awesome

2 player split screen is not great at all. Lag is a consistent issue. Can't read anything with 2 player. Disappointing as they could have fixed it rather than just throwing it out to the masses. Sound isn't great either. Names above players and icons seem to jump around vigorously it's distracting.

Borderlands 3 is a butter-smooth game that finally eliminates the incredibly exhausting bullet-sponge experience. Not only that but maps are fun to explore because of their thematic uniqueness as opposed to those depressed vast open lands that are filled with repetitive enemies and monotonic colors. The fast travel option also saves a huge junk of your time. The vehicle gameplay could still be improved, sometimes I feel like I'm driving a yoga ball.

The story was not that bad. I mean since when was Borderlands famous for its writing? Campaign was well understandable and straightforward, although some of the scenes just seemed to be coming out of nowhere and has almost no buildup. Your character contributes very little if no interaction to the story. It would have been better to have only one character that players can choose which class to attach with.
