I am tempted to play this at launch but I want to hear first impressions about the story and writing because Borderlands 3 was one of the games of all time
 
Got the Presequel, 2 and 3 all free on the Epic store. Maybe I'll buy the 4th one on Epic to keep the library all together.
OR
Buy it on Steam so that I don't have to see BL3 in the library. :)
 
How many more of the characters are alphabet soup?
I don't have my hopes up for this one. The series has gotten worse with each version. I might get it when its really really cheap.

Why the fuck they provide map with both LA and SA (same for Paris and Prague)? They have the same fucking time zone, lol.

I like the formula and concept of Borderlands. Open world looter shooter. Then they apply the worst art style and fill the roster with boring characters. The enemies are so boring and repetitive. Someone needs to take this genre and do it right.

Preordered the super deluxe edition, don't let me down (again) Gearbox! Didnt care too much for #3 but loved the previous games.

This is a series that my wife and i put hundreds of hours into together, so crossing my fingers here.
 
I like what they are supposedly TRYING to do but I'll believe it when I see it. Which is to say, I'm buying and playing the game but won't last long if it's like BL3. That game was just boring and lame.
 
I'll wait for impressions. The writing in BL3 was so bad, i couldn't stand to play another character.

Based on the character showcase videos, it's not going to be much different.
 
Day 1.

I whinge about Borderlands, but I'll stick chuck a few 100 hours into the game.

Early impressions have been pretty good.
I'm leaning toward the same. As much as I hate the dumb writing and yappy NPCs, nothing else really scratches the same itch as Borderlands. Worst case scenario I'll mute the voice volume like I did with 3.
 
It's running 2 DRM iirc

Considering it has 2 DRM systems, and a rootkit, it would be a miracle if it didn't have performance issues on PC.
And while using Unreal Stutter 5.
I dont like stutter at the best of times never mind in an FPS. With this being open world as well im not expecting much.

Shame as it looks quite good.

They specifically said they're working hard to make the console version (Xbox/PS) as smooth as possible. It's likely going to be the best way to play at launch.

I don't game much at home these days unfortunately. PC, Switch or bust for me and im not playing this on the switch (unless its a miracle port).

I won't poo poo the Switch 2 port in case it turns out solid like Outlaws. I'm not holding my breath though.
 
Just Cross and a couple of other content creators have mentioned it on youtube. They said a day ine patch is coming which is never a good sign in my eyes.
Game will be 100+GB so it is likely not optimized very well. Denuvo and their Anticheat probably won't help matters but we will find out in a couple days.
 
Which edition should you get if you want the base game + the 4 story DLC that they usually do? I'm considering just getting the base game now and then seeing how the DLC turns out later on...

Also, do you guys think this will be much harder to run than BL3? I know they upgraded the engine from UE4 to UE5 and that the recommended specs list a 3080 which isn't far off from my 3090. I'm planning to play at 4K and assuming I'll need to use DLSS...

Was gonna be day one since Im a fan, finished all borderlands again and their achievements with a friend, but he has a weaker pc and even bl3 he was struggling to keep up with performance so considering this is UE5 it'll prolly run like dogshit on his PC, hell prolly on most pc's. Wil lwait for next year until he upgrades and most likely we will have some dlc content/fixes.
