Can I be the first to say, I think this will end up being the best in the series. I think it's gonna be great. I think they finally listened and made the game more challenging which will make it feel different and also much better.

I'm hyped for this game but I think I'm the only one. Everyone expects another borderlands game but I'm expecting the best borderlands game.

I've sniffed it out. Let's see if I'm right.

Also BL3 launched with terrible performance on whatever playstation I was playing it on and then gradually it was made efficient and ended up running smooth and looking good but it took a while. All you performance snobs be ready because that is just how these games are released. Graphics whores don't deserve fun anyway.

It has to do a lot to dethrone BL2.

It'll get there I think/hope or at least close. We'll find out tomorrow.

Lol no. Litterally all it needs is some competent writing.

 

[Lokaum D+]

Lol no. Litterally all it needs is some competent writing.

Competent writing... Gearbox... Randy... Lin Joyce....

So all they need is a miracle.

Everything I've seen tells me it has the potential to be a great Borderlands game. Just 2 more days!!

Borderlands 2 writing is why this series went full retarded. It's was written by Destructoid blogger Anthony Burch for fucks sake. Fans really need to stop deifying that game. It's embarrassing.

You can be the first to say that if you like.

Also the bolded really isn't acceptable. A working polished product is the least you should expect.

Whats wrong with it?

Still the best we had so far.

Time to take off those rose tinted goggles

I think it's nostalgia driving it. We were all much younger at the time so people look back on it more fondly than they should.

I played through the game again recently and it was insufferable. Probably because wacky characters and sarcastic dialogue is so played out now. That game was basically ground zero.

I truly don't see what fans of BL2 see in Slag. By far one of the worst mechanics they ever added. BL1 is probably my favorite game in the series due to that isolated atmosphere Pandora exuded and more focus on the loot tables where even a Green rarity weapon with the right stats and bonuses could outpace a Blue or Purple and Legendaries of course being Legendary.

And Eridian/Alien Weapons always being my favorite to use.

ok you guys said "nostalgia driven" "rose tinted glasses" so i ll ask both of you to enlighten me, which main Borderlands game has the best story ? its a simple question.

None of them have a good story.

Borderlands 1 has the best tone/vibe.

Borderlands 1 & 2 have the best soundtrack.

Borderlands 3 has the best gameplay (minus the over abundance of legendaries).

You asked me for it.

Does it matter? Again, they just need competent writing for B4 to better than all of them. It doesn't need even need to be good. It just needs to not be bad, which they've already shown they can do with BL3 DLC (which was actually pretty good)

Slag is only "needed" for UVHM + OP levels, 90% of the players played trough the game without even using it.

I went to the early release for Borderlands 3 at Gamestop and watched one of the last dudes in line freakout when they got to him, they sold his limited edition copy or some shit. Anyway this launch wont be as exciting for me but I am looking forward to the game a lot.

 

[pnutboy]

Very curious to see where reviews land for this one. Could sneakily be one of the better games this fall I think

We'll see, if "challenging" = enemies are spongy, then no.

I hope it's more 'you need to actually learn the mechanics' - every boss in in BL3 was beaten by shooting it in the face and you could ignore adds (if there were any) and just tank any damage

I just started playing Borderlands 3 and although I initially experienced stuttering, I managed to resolve the issue by disabling CFG protection. So far, the game has been running at well over 240 fps and that's not bad. Why do you think the game runs badly? Will later levels run much worse?

It has good avg FPS, but it stutters like a mutherfucker? What is CFG protection?
