Borderlands 4

Worst decission of my life buying this game

Constant predatory practices, I will start waiting to buy any game these tools release until they create a ''third super-ultra-supreme'' version that ends up on sale for 50% off a year and some odd days after the initial release. I bought the base version when it came out, with only deluxe version being the secondary option (too much for too little offered especially knowing how trash their dlc content tends to be). Now there's a Super Deluxe Edition on sale for CHEAPER THAN THE ORIGINAL BASE GAME at $64's, that HAS ALL CONTENT THAT WAS RELEASED AND WILL BE RELEASED; including 2 new Vault Hunters! That is so messed up that they did this to the people that spent the money on Deluxe Edition when it came out, along with those that bought the base game. Even more ridiculous that if I were to buy the discounted Super Deluxe Edition, my base purchase of the game IS COMPLETEY WASTED. I can't even gift my version to a friend nor does steam reduce the price of the purchase option regarding you owning the base version of the game to begin with. We seriously need to just stop buying these trash giant game companies' (AAA) various versions and wait until they're forced to put the games on sale along with their DLC due to losing so much capital. They legit pay people to analyze charts all day to figure out the best time to put content or games ON SALE, and which ones to maximize their profits, like in this case Where they know people like myself that payed full priced for the game alone, will be easily persuaded to buy the Super Deluxe Edition for the half price sale, just to get the DLC and Future DLC without paying for them individually. There's a reason they won't put the DLC individually on sale because they lose profits, sure they might get like $20-40 total from you if you bought their DLC on ''SALE'', but by doing it this way, they gaurantee that they'll get $64 from you by ''including all their DLC'' even the ones you don't want, to make it ''appear'' like a worthy deal.

Very not fun and not engaging story,

I was so profoundly disappointed by this game after hearing some good revies and eventually bringing myself to give it a shot. I was a fan of the early Borderlands games, but this has nothing that they had. Playing it, I got the impression that nobody who was developing this game had an idea they were excited about. - The writing feels like a bad AI parody, soulless, meaningless, chasing its own tail and inflating its own ego. It cannot make a decision about what it wants its story or characters to be and then stick to that decision. - I found zero likable or even interesting characters. - I had zero feeling about the main villain except the expectation that he would represent that there was no plot or story development. - There were factions of enemies with different types, different groups, different abilities, and I still felt like I ran down the list almost immediately and ran into nothing new for the rest of the game. I don't know how much of this is due to the art and how much is due to the combat. - Absolutely none of the skins looked interesting, which doesn't matter because you still spend most of your time seeing none of the character. - I couldn't crouch and shoot because the character's knee blocked my view. This should never have gotten past beta. - The menus feel like someone spent tremendous effort to make them easy in exactly the wrong way. You can sent items to your vault from the item menu, but most of the time, when you get a gun, you can equip it but can't compare it to what you have equipped. - Getting to the echo logs you pick up is incredibly tedious. About half of them don't play automatically and aren't identified in a way that lets you find them in your inventory, and when you do find them, you can't play them while you play the game. You have to stay in the menu. This is lunacy. - I've completed the game and I have absolutely no clue what these icons on the left of the main menu are for. They seem to be a leveling up system for my gun and a class mod, but there's zero explanation of how to change or get rid of them. These pertain to items I think I picked up in the first hour of the game. I'm not going to look it up. I'm not going to do the game tutorial's work. - The skills feel pointless and are poorly explained. At no point did I feel like maxing out a skill would affect how I played the character. I still have no idea whether I need to invest a point into a skill to benefit from a class mod's bonus. - Class mods show an icon of one of SO MANY DIFFERENT SKILLS but don't tell you what the skill is called or where to find it in your skill tree beyond "one of these three paths." You have to just equip it over the one you already have (which will take a while to find in your inventory again) to see the effects or go hunting the icons on your skill tree by nicknames you give them. - Every gun looks the same. You can't tell at a glance what is a shotgun and what is a pistol. - The new different-brand gun mechanics are largely a variation on "it takes longer to do damage." - There are three types of guns: Worthless guns, guns that have a shot of being worth equipping (purple only), and the guns that trivialize every battle. - The plane clipping was astonishingly bad. It doesn't matter how clear a line of sight you have to your target, your bullet still might be blocked by a boulder to your right. - Invisible walls. You knew this was coming when they gave you a double-jump and glide mechanic. Some visibly climbable things just want to punish you for even trying. - And come on. This is a cel-shaded game. It's supposed to run on just about anything, and look cheap, cartoony, and fun. This game feels heavy with contrary design decision that work against that. Nothing that added to the game justifies putting it out of the technological reach of people who want the game. And somehow, that isn't the worst. The worst is that they're still doing that horrifying thing with missions where after you drop something off, your next step in the quest is locked behind minutes upon minutes of poorly-written dialogue. You know you're going to be sent to point X on the map, but you're going to stay right there and listen to every word until they give you the go-ahead to leave. This has been a problem since the Pre-Sequel. My blood boils as my time is wasted. If I'm good at the game and I love the game and I remember the game, don't hold me up from playing the game, make me stand and listen, and call it gameplay.

A really decent and fun shooter stuck in a game that's still marred by a bunch of performance issues almost a year after Its launch. Despite some nitpicks I have with the open world It's my second favorite BL after 2, maybe even tied in some ways for me. Unfortunately it seems Randy would rather release DLC that costs half as much as the base game before even fixing it to not run like dog water. Even if It's on sale I would recommend you wait until Its fixed for sure, if by some miracle that ever happens. Then I'll give it a thumbs up.

I had high hopes. Mediocre at best. Borderlands 2 was peak. My playtime says everything. Haven't played since release month. Buy only if deep sale. Wait for 1 more year for complete edition and a good deal. The price for highest tier is ludacris. Hard pass

keeps crashing on the loading screen

どのキャラ使っても行きつく先が過度なオーバーキルか無限ブッパくらいしか無くプレイフィールの変化が乏しいうえにエンドコンテンツであるレイドボスやテイクダウンは全てタイムアタック形式なので遊び方をプレイヤー側で工夫する要素がほぼ無い。最高報酬を受け取れる制限時間内にクリアすることが全てで、基本どのボスも演出やギミックをすっ飛ばして瞬殺すれば終わりみたいな安易な最適解が簡単に作れてしまうゲーム性なので強敵だった相手も強い装備を掘っていけばどんどん楽になっていく、といったＲＰＧの醍醐味が非常に薄い。 難易度による報酬の再スケーリングが無いのも残念。 キャンペーンクリアまでを評価するのであればそれなりにボーダーランズとして及第点かもしれないが、掘って掘って掘りまくるといったトレハンゲーとしてはボダランシリースの中で一番ツマラナイ

Borderlands 3 had a more memorable world. A lot of strange choices made in development that drags this down. Barely worth it, even at half-price.

Played game on release and finished it with some fps issues, decided to try it again since some new content came out. Can't even get past the screen saying 2kgames before crashing. No fixes on the internet have worked.
