https://borderlands.com/en-US/news/2019-08-27-bl3-pc-specs/ ![[image loading]](https://i.imgur.com/t2wfu8G.jpg) You can get a 10% coupon from Green Man Gaming if you create an account. The 10% off coupone arrives ~5 days after creating the GMG account. Games like Diablo 3 and Destiny 2 have "seasons". Borderlands 3 will not have those kinds of "seasons". The game can be played offline so "cheating"//"exploiting" will be possible. | ||

Damn I'm barely above recommended  I don't think BL 3 will become any kind of esport, so I don't mind the cheating and exploiting part too much. This also means it probably will be moddable, so maybe we can expect so cool stuff from the mod community  | ||

The Polygon review is pretty critical of the game. https://www.polygon.com/reviews/2019/9/9/20852642/borderlands-3-review-pc-ps4-xbox-one the IGN review is very positive. IGN is a very optmistic game site in general. IGN also got all kinds of exclusive early content special previews directly from Gearbox. https://ca.ign.com/articles/2019/09/09/borderlands-3-review The Calypso twins have looked bland right from the start. Handsome Jack was a total-prick, dick-faced, jerk right from the very first trailer they released. The Polygon reviewer's opinion seems more congruent with my opinion of the game so far. And, here is the launch trailer... + Show Spoiler + Here is the opening cinematic. + Show Spoiler + | ||

Level 15 right now, taking my time, exploring every nook and cranny of the map. Playing with FL4K for my first playthrough, skilling mostly in the invisibility tree right now. Gunplay is awesome, weapons are crazy, main story is fine. Obviously not as good as Jack, but far from terrible. Side quest are somewhere between awesome, funny and "wow that involves a lot of walking" | ||

Angry Joe's review is out: + Show Spoiler + Story is shit, but game is good/fun. Apparently they went for the approach "if the core gameplay ain't broke, don't fix it" I guess thats a big plus. IF you intend to play NG+ etc. and get the very best gear and multiplayer this is for you. If you're like me and you're gonna play through it once for the jokes and story and characters, you're in for a disappointment. Maya, Athena, Claptrap very minor roles. Only really Lilith takes forefront. This is no longer about you being the biggest badass on the planet, this is HERstory and about girl power and Ava. | ||

It feels very much like one dude said the story is "meh" and now everybody is jumping on that train without really pointing out the flaws or what bothers them personaly. To Angry Joe: Top of my head this reminds me of witcher 3 and it never bothered me there. Ciri was supposed to save the world, not me (Geralt). And there were a bunch of different kings and queens and important people and I am just the witcher, minding my business with no aspiration to become the hero of everything EDIT: Short disclaimer. I haven't played it through yet. Maybe my opinion will change. Dunno yet On September 24 2019 16:09 Manit0u wrote: Meh. Somehow I'm not hyped for this game at all. None of the characters really strike my fancy. You mean the story characters or the playable characters / classes? | ||

Also, for anyone wanting to check the game out, I'd wait for at least a month. Checked user reviews on various sites and it seems that majority of people are having some serious issues with the game (bugs, crashes, frame drops, DX12 not working, even high-end machines having trouble) and I'd personally wait until some bugfixes roll out. | ||

Checked user reviews on various sites and it seems that majority of people are having some serious issues with the game (bugs, crashes, frame drops, DX12 not working, even high-end machines having trouble) and in game combat has so many hitches , frame drops and stuttering on Intel/Nvidia machines. Aiming Down Site is a nightmare of hitches and stutters making the Sniper Rifle almost useless. You basically use the sniper rifle like its a hand gun if it has the right stats. Fortunately, Gearbox has acknowledged these are problems and has taken a couple of steps forward in fixing them with promises for more performance patches in the future. https://borderlands.com/en-US/news/2019-09-26-borderlands-3-patch-sept-26/ If one is lucky enough to own a machine that doesn't experience performance issues , stuttering and hitches during intense combat then Borderlands 3 is a 9/10 or 9.5/10. If , however, your machine falls victim to these issues the game is a 6/10. The pre-order people and week 1 buyers of Borderlands 3 are basically part of an expensive beta test. Get this quote from the latest patch If you’ve noticed a potential concern that has affected you that is not addressed in this update, please send us your data! Many factors are at work and collecting info from a variety of folks can go a long way to help us find commonalities, identify the root cause, and address confirmed issues. This game is in Beta right now. How could a man of Randy Pitchford's impeccable integrity have allowed this to happen? | ||

I have a AMD Ryzen 2600 coupled with a RTX 2060. So not that high end actually. Sure, I don't run it on ultra, but there is too much effect stuff on the screen anyway. I just read that people had a lot of trouble with Killavolt which I don't really understand. I did it on the second try cause I needed one try to realize where all the damage comes from. | ||

Apparently I did the most OP build by accident and it got nerfed now. Still pretty good build Still having a blast. The only thing I dread is running through all the levels again to do challenges and something with those eridian inscriptions is surely to come | ||

Absolutely love the humour, eastereggs, and most importantly gameplay. And that's despite being on Zane and at the moment farming a lot of bosses. I can only recommend it - having an absolute blast. | ||

I already have my low expectations when it comes to the story and stuff but I still have an itch purely for the gun play that I can't get rid of, despite other massive time sinks like WoW atm. | ||

So if you bought the game at Walmart a couple of days after the game released for $50 USD and then use this GMG discount code you got the game at the same price as the people who pre-ordered the $100 USD version. If you elected to just buy the main Borderlands3 game you spent less than the pre-order people who forked over between $54 and $60 USD. | ||
