For what Little I played I have one complaint so far is the sheer lack of graphic options, I need to get borderlands 3 and tiny teen is wonderland to work flawlessly on my steam deck by adjusting individual graphic settings this game however it's either all or nothing when it comes to graphics... And that is just ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ I don't like it when this game looks like outer worlds on the switch to where I can't make out the enemies from foliage or just the background noise in general that is terrible I'm going to reiterate this once again borderlands 3 and tiny Teena was wonderland work flawlessly on the steam deck it's where I can even get to 60 FPS for both games while having it where I could still see the enemies and they don't look like blurry pixels or ghosts, so until they give you the option to mainly change each graphic setting I do not recommend this game at all for what will I played it has potential to be fun but I just cannot get past that I even tried playing it on my actual computer The only problem is it has a better GPU than the steam deck but twice as much RAM... And I still going to get past 20 FPS on high fidelity because when I go into the lower Fidelity everything is illegible entirely on both systems I have but hey I can reach 120 FPS by that point doesn't matter if I can't tell what the hell I'm shooting at. So it all either give us the option to tweak the graphic settings more in depth like literally every other game up to this point or optimize the ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game
I picked this game up during the steam summer sale a few days ago, and I've been having good time with it. I haven't run into any game breaking bugs yet other than it very occasionally freezing although I've only played like 18 hours so maybe I haven't seen some of the more pressing issues. All in all I like the game, and would recommend it at the discounted price. As for the story I actually enjoy it. I like the Timekeeper as a antagonist and I did like Sol as a boss. I haven't met the other two yet, but but I've been taking my time and exploring the open world. The world of Kairos feels alive to me and I like that the factions actively fight each other. I walked into an event where rippers, and outbounders where openly fighting in a crop field as an example. I also like how your allies are not passive and will fight on there own. Make me feel like I'm actually with a rebel group instead of the local idiot who gets ordered around like some dog. Something that did kinda miff me before picking the game up was the removal of two of my favorite manufacturers That being Hyperion and Dahl. The first one I can kinda understand, but Dahl doesn't really make sense to me as Elpis (The moon that crashed into the skies of Kairos) was an abandoned Dahl colony much like how Pandora was. idk but it wasn't a deal breaker, and the New manufacturers (Those being Daedalus, Order, and Ripper), while not replacements, do feel good in there own rights. All in all I like the game it performs well enough so far and if I do encounter something gamebreaking I'll update this, but it's whateva. I won't tell ya what to do buy the game or not in the end it's your call.
Gone are the sense of humor of the franchise and without it the quests/side quests are absolute chore and boring. Not even worth with 50% sale.
Maybe it's not you, maybe it's me. I don't know what it is about this game. It simply doesn't grab me at all. I keep comparing it to Borderlands 2, which isn't good for either game. Bottom Line Up Front: - It looks bad. I think the general style of borderlands didn't age well, no matter what I do the game simply looks muddy. - It runs bad. I have a decent machine, the game still barely cracks 75fps most times even with settings turned down. I should be able to run at 'high' (not ultra) settings without much issue. Most other games handle this. - The storyline is bad. Handsome Jack was a great villain. Whoever this guy is isn't compelling, the story doesn't make me want to play it, and the humour doesn't carry the boring moments like it used to. - The weapons aren't fun. Alt-fire on weapons isn't a fun way to use them. Remember when reloading used to throw the weapon and it would explode? That was fun. Mini rockets that seem useless isn't fun. - Character customization is lame unless you love microtransactions. Everything is just a color palette unless you're willing to shell out some coin or grind pointlessly.
The game could use some extra optimization but if you like the Borderlands series, you'll like this enough to make it worth getting if it's on a significant sale and have the hardware to run it. A lot of people say the story is mediocre but I think the story is great, the biggest issue is just the dialogue and its pacing. I find myself so often having to listen to the worst dialogue and writing ever written but the story itself intrigues me enough to want to listen so I don't miss out on a significant plot point. The story and setting are great, the voice actors and the script absolutely suck. Every line is delivered like it's some catchphrase and the writing is so mid 70% of the time. I have to admit that in some moments, light broke through and a joke would actually be hilarious or the dialogue would actually feel good, but as quickly as it came, it would go. However, most people don't really play Borderlands for the "perfect story", it's for the gameplay loops and the gameplay loop here is great. The open world is good to traverse, it doesn't feel boring and it doesn't feel empty. I just wish there were more "random world events" to just spice up random traversal other than the rift champions. The shooting and movement is great, the legendaries drop rate is way better, however, one gripe I have is that a lot of the bosses in the game don't have as easy of a farm loop as Splashzone does, so it becomes ideal to just farm Splashzone for world drop legendaries instead of farming different bosses for their specific drops which to me, kind ruins the whole point of the Moxxi Encore mechanic for bosses. (Not sure if I'm bugging on that) Regardless, the game is worth it on sale. The CEO definitely ruined the launch of the game but it's still a step in the right direction in terms of vibe and difficulty

The Game is a lair... The first 2 hours were beauty and i feel safe in his arms ... But after that , the Game show's here true side of his face . Didn't started in Steam anymore. Fu****
Great shader prerendering simulator.
谁要看你那弱智的家庭love&piace?让你们的文案滚出去,还不如3的狗屎剧情 byd这DLC长度不如3的半根,2K你是怎么能腆着bi脸说出来涨价的,脸不红?
I love the borderlands franchise. I really wanted to like this game but i wont lie, i am sure i'm close to finishing and have more cons than pros. this is easily the weakest game they have mad. bugs every where. mapping garbage. main bosses feel like there un finished why world bosses are harder then the main ones. world feels big and empty. this really feels like an incomplete game, like they just wanted to get it out the door. side missions are either boring and short. or are just fetch quest. there has been moments that i liked or chuckled but there few and far between. sadly i just say go replay any other borderlands game you will have more fun. the villains are forgettable and Roland 2 should have been called so would have been funny at least if they did that.
