Bl3 holds a special place in my heart. Besides it being my favorite franchise but my beautiful daughter was born the same day as bl3!
Play split screen couch coop with her please
@se7en910 Without a doubt! Right now she loves helping me play Elden Ring.
@@themtlhedthat’s cute
She's a lucky girl. @@themtlhed
Please, @@themtlhed, tell her about the vaults and the power they hold
Your channel is the main reason i got back into borderlands 3. I love this game and thats thanks to you.
Aww 🥰
The gun play is top notch and they went ham with the skill trees would be better if we had more. VH playables but they’re all really awesome voice acting and abilities. Would have liked 1 more tho. The guns are incredible and you can make some super unique builds. I picked it up for the switch it’s so much fun haven’t played in over a year
Thanks for posting BL3 Videos again. You're videos are well done and with lots of good self-deprecating humor. I hope you get a lot more visibility/subs in 2024.
I recently got a ps5 and jave been replaying the game with load times that arnt 10 mins. Its been a blast.
Thanks to this video, I ended up buying a steam key for $25 for the ultimate edition. It’ll be my first time ever playing this game so the hype is real! Keep up the good work man
how was it? was it worth the $25?
Did you like it mate?
The only thing negative that stops me from playing is the crashing issue with the Xbox Series X
"short answer yes"
"long answer yeeeeeeeeeeeees"
I chuckled, take my up vote you funny bastard
That opening “yeeeees” dad joke… loved it, well earns like :D
Even though the game story is the weakest part of Borderlands 3, they did get one thing right. We only have to play the story once to get to end game. In other Borderlands games, we played through the same story 3 times to get to end game. Glad they didn't force us to do that in this game.
I agree the gameplay and the gameplay loop in this game is much better than the previous titles.
What do you mean "glad the didn't force us to do that in this game", we were never forced to replay the story
@@levicarpenter5509 to get to Op levels you need to play normal, True vault hunter, and ultimate vault hunter mode. 3 playthroughs to get to end game content, therfore "forced"
Me and my girlfriend have been playing through all the Borderlands and we are on BL3 DLCS now, been fairly fun. The dlcs are significantly better than the main story. Played bl3 at launch but never did any of the dlcs until now, would say it's worth playing.
Does it crash while playing for you?
your my fav borderlands creator so glad your still on board
Thanks my guy!
If you come across this, please send your prayers and positive energy. I’ve been battling health issues for years.
I love you Mann keep fighting I believe in you no matter what happens I got your back bro
Did anyone else notice the small detail at 5:23? It’s so cool!
started completly new last week because i converted to pc and havent played it in a while and yes you should still play BL3, absolutely fantastic game, already put 60hrs into it
I'm in need of your prayers and support. Please keep me in your thoughts as I navigate my health journey.
Reading these comments is uplifting. Thank you for spreading love!
Thank you so much for this video. I was getting so tired of all the other games I was playing, But I already got boderlands 3, but never played for too long
You all are spreading so much love. It’s truly heartwarming. Thank you!
It’s wonderful to see so much kindness here. Thank you, everyone!
Playing this game after a few years off and LOVING it
Definitely worth if you can get it on sale with all dlc's, was my first in the series and everything was great besides story!
Duuude... You have to go back and play 2 if you havnt already! The characters and story all around is fkn amazing and hillllarious!!
I’m smiling from ear to ear reading these comments. You guys are amazing!
I was debating buying this game for the first time, I think you’ve convinced me
Ive beaten the game and began maxing out my fl4k
Still here, im loyal to my favorite series! There is soo much viability in this game than in any other game in this series, absolutely crazy, i love it!!
I love the borderlands games, bought every single one of them, completed them all but I went back to borderlands three after completing Tiny Tina! Have just started playing Tiny Tina again recently, and I think they’re all great games, with the exception of the Space version on Borderlands two I think it was, I didn’t like the fact you could run out of air, apart from that all brilliant!!
You all have filled my heart with joy. Thank you for your kind words!
Finally content creator who dont call borderlands 3 trash thank you
Good to hear from you again.. Happy new year.
Happy new year to you too boss!
After multiple brief hiatuses from BL3, it always keeps me coming back solely due to the end game content. Borderlands 3 is by far my favorite game of the Franchise; and my favorite game period. SpartanGameZone’s content definitely helps induce me to continue playing this beautiful game. You’re awesome @SpartanGameZone 👍
You all have made a difference with your kind words. Thank you!
BL3 is great. Still playing it. But I'd wish Arms Race was extended. At least other maps. Also different marking of AR legendaries on minimap would be nice. But my personal improved Arms Race vision is progressive maps: when you finish first map, you can send one item to the next map, then 2 items when transition to 3rd map, and so on. Each next map could be slightly more challenging and contains new loot, not available on previous ones.
Are there any guides for BL3 modding? :)
I think the biggest missed opportunity for Arms Race was the fact that the skill tree was banned. Because Arms Race was added in the same DLC that added 4 new skill trees, it would have been super cool if enemies had a chance to drop "skill orbs" that would allow the player spec into specific skills your VH had, allowing you to explore the new skill tree as well as using skills and unorthodox builds that you wouldn't have used otherwise!
@@TheBlackAbyss1 skill points are very problematic. They need thinking where to apply and when you are time limited that's not a very good tree exploration experience. Even Battleborn helix tree was criticized as not easy to apply (though I liked it) in between battles and it was way simple than any BL3 tree, which has 4.
@@w01dnickfair enough
The gameplay of BL3 is top notch add ontop of it quality of life mods and you gave your a fun ass experience.
New uploads are always something to look forward to!
Yes, absolutely! Just did my first playthrough with the sonic murder machine Zane and now starting an ice crusher Amara.
Bl3 is amazing. Bl1 is probably my favorite, but bl3 fixes almost all the things i didnt like about bl2. All the improvements that game had but a much better balanced experience.
Yea except BL3s story and characters are an absolute dumpster.
@@fufu1405 I don't give a shit about either of those things. If I wanted story and character I'd watch TV. And it's not like either of those things are much better in bl2. Narrative doesn't even make sense
@@stepheng1523agreed. While 2’s story is better having to play it three times per character to get to endgame is god awful.
@@banuner_ for the privilege of spending four solid minutes spraying and praying you can kill a rabid skag before it kills you.... I'd rather have my teeth pulled out. Broken ass endgame
@@stepheng1523this is the equivalent of saying you go to the movies for the popcorn lmao
This channel deserves way more subscribers. It's a hidden gem!
The personality shines through and keeps viewers coming back.
I played it only once in 2019 and got it with all DLCs for $20 2 weeks ago and holy god it's amazing .
YOOOOOOOO THE KING HAS RETURNED
He is BACK!
Hvala puno za video! 🇷🇸
The Hermi-Vermi fight has to be one of the toughest boss fight in the game. Two raid bosses at once in an arena with no place to hide.
with a good build it's a cake walk
That's actually pretty easy fight. Hag is much tankier and soooooooo annoying with all the screaming lol
I just fought them with an already fleshed out melee Amara (no gun, just melee and action skill) and I one tapped both of them with my phaseflare.
@@awaiswasi354 oh you mean like literally every other borderlands game? Obviously with a good build it's easy. Just like in every other game.
I loved watching your bl3 vids im happy you started makeing videos again you inspired me to make a level 72 build for zane and i can use anything your zane build help me make my over powerd build just keep makeing videos sgz.
At release played on pc. Recently decided to start new on the PS5 and it's still a total blast.
I’ve never played a Borderlands game, but this convinced me to download it.
HOW DID U LIKE IT?
Bought this game in 2020 already fully intending to still be playing it a decade later.
Lets go the man is back
Just picked this up yesterday. Played 2000 hours on 2 so looking forward to getting in to it 🤜
3000 hours on 3 then?
I'm reaching out for your prayers and support. Please keep me in your thoughts for a speedy recovery.
One of my favorites of all time. I’m suprised it’s not still used for benchmarking. It can be demanding enough at 4k to need a 3090ti to get a locked 60fps
Good to see you back!
Steam now 90% discount
I tried to play Borderlands 2. I played it for a decent amount. But I just seemingly can’t get into it, and I don’t understand why.
Maybe I just don’t like FPS, since the gun gameplay just feels like a chore to me. Maybe it was because I played splitscreen the entire time. Maybe it’s because I felt like there were too many guns. Maybe it’s because shooters on console just doesn’t work. Or that I just couldn’t follow the story.
But I won’t lie that I’m tempted after I saw the trailer for Borderlands 3 just now, as it was free on PS4.
Complex topics are broken down so easily. Everything is made so understandable.
Creativity knows no bounds here. Keep pushing the envelope!
I started playing Borderlands when the 1st game of the series came out. I played through the heyday of Borderlands 2. I stopped playing the series during TPS. I never finished BL3, & im extremely glad I didnt. I just started a playthrough with Zane, & it's amazing. The game is great, & I have all of the dlc to sift through. Glad i decided to get back into it
This channel is a breath of fresh air on CZcams!
Just got back into borderlands 3 after binge watching your videos. Forgot how good the game actually felt. Keep up the good work 👍
I started plahinf about two months ago and is my first actual looter shooter game
And ive loved ever moment yes the main story feels weak but i genuinely havent cared because how incredible this gane feels ro play thays become the least of my concerns
I can’t believe it’s been 5 years. I remember being so hyped for this and it came out in such a crazy point in my life, a few weeks into first semester of college, my life was a whirlwind of new experiences and this game was there along the ride. I always enjoyed the game but playing it again for the first time since launch I think I have more appreciation.
The story was a little disappointing but to this day I still don’t quite understand the level of vitriol that a lot of the criticism has. The core gameplay is still amazing 5 years later, everything feels so punchy and snappy, the VH skill trees are great, etc. honestly if you just tune out 75% of the echo logs and noise of jokes and cringe then it’s still a great game. Maybe that sounds bad but I always have sort of done that with these games unless it’s Handsome Jack. Which reminds me, yea. The Calypsos fucking blow. No way around that one. Absolutely horrible characters.
That being said I think I’m ready to be done with the game after I finish it this time around. Never played any of the dlc or endgame so I’m looking forward to it. As good as a game as it is it just doesn’t have that magic that makes you want to play it over and over and over again like BL2 did. Maybe it was lightning in a bottle, who knows, but I 100% am looking forward to BL4.
I would want for BL4
-Bit more of a serious story. BL will always be cringe and goofy but BL2 had real emotions and a bit of rawness to it. The way Jack goes from dismissively viewing you as an irrelevant nuisance to fucking hating your guts was great. He kills Bloodwing, shit gets serious, you kill his daughter, shit gets serious, he kills your leader, shit gets serious.
-Which sort of gets into my next point. I want the VHs to have more of a sense of agency. You will always be ordered around by whoever’s around as the leader of the Crimson Raiders but in BL3 the whole story and conflict is pretty much just Lilith vs the Calypsos with the player basically just serving as a proxy to do the dirty work and fighting on Lilliths behalf. She’s clearly the protagonist of the story and it leads to the “Talk to Lilith” meme where the story is just not allowed to progress or develop at all unless it’s through her. Youre not even really involved in or the focus of any of the major story events, fights, or deaths. In BL2 the VHs took shit into their own hands. Roland’s dead, Lilith captured? Make shit happen, bring the fight to Jack, kill that motherfucker. In BL3 the whole ending and saving the world comes down to Lilith.
-DLC VHs. No idea why they didn’t do this for 3. It seems minor but it was such a huge disappointment. Adding a new skill tree to each character is not a valid replacement. It takes 5 minutes to respec and explore the new tree while a new character gets you itching to get back into the game all over again.
-Please, actually build upon story that was set up. TFTB and TPS left the story in such an interesting place with so many potential threads to explore moving forward and BL3 barely touched any of it. At this point it’s been a DECADE since stuff like the Watcher talking about the War, Fiona and Rhys going into the vault, Gortys, etc and we still don’t know anything about the follow up. You almost get the sense that Gearbox is like, bitter or dismissive about any of those story threads because it was made by other, let’s face it, better writers.
Keep producing this kind of content.
The passion shines through in every video. It's truly inspiring.
Everything is always on point. Can't get enough!
I’ve played one and two. That’s me all borderlandsed out I’m afraid
Hell yeah I'm still playing BL3! The only game that will tear me away will be BL4 lol. Welcome back SGZ! 🔫😁💥
That tune of yours never gets old! And looking forward to new top 10 lists.. yours are the best with that humor of yours injected in them! 🎇
Good to be back man, appreciate you!
Just went back to platinum no2 & now I’m back on the pre sequel, this is definitely the most underrated gaming series
I’m in awe of this video.
Me and my girl just started playing it again today from scratch , didn’t even know it had a ps5 upgrade
Wife and I just did a run thru of the whole game with new characters over the last 2 weeks. Actually twice so we could dominate mayhem 11 together.
Still had a blast!
I'm still going after some god rolls here and there
Haven’t even watched the video but yes me n my buddy j got it like 2 weeks ago n have already beat it a few times shits absolute gas
There's still that bug where I can't finish that cowboy DLC mission. YEARS after it was a known problem.
Never played a borderlands game but just picked this one up at gs for $4.75. Figured i cant go wrong at that price and seeing this review, im glad i did. Game looks good.😊
Bedankt voor de geweldige video! 🇳🇱
Glad you're posting again bro. Nice video. Don't forget about Hemovorous!
Despite having a Disappointing Story and Extremely Unlikeable Villans Borderlands 3 is great all around to play in 2024!
Hold your horses
when were the stories in these games ever good, Its always been cringey, edgy nonsense which is what makes it funny
@@KotyJwCu do you have a death wish
@@Ibrimstone No, but if someone genuinely tells me these stories were "good" i'd have to disagree, its always been corny with a side of edge and thats the best part.
@@Ibrimstone he has a point. When compared to other video games, the borderlands franchise as a whole doesn't have a good story. It has a lot of *lore* via side quest and echo logs which helps with world building. But the story only experience isn't anything special at all.
Just finished grinding zane, moze and amara to level 72 and managed to get them all built to blaze through M11. Taking another break from it but definately will be back again!
I missed you man. Don’t know how I found you, but you were always my favorite borderlands youtuber. Other youtubers like K6 take the spotlight for popularity, but i think your content is better and i came to check if you were back and you were. Super nice to have you back!
Thank you for the great content! 🇨🇦
Glad you're back. Was worried you gave up BL3 content
The kindness in these comments is overwhelming. Thank you all!
Mayhem mode is one of the best features they've ever introduced because it scales everything up to your level, now I can go back and finish all the side quests without starting a brand new playthrough coz vhm has never really been my thing.
Any looter shooter don’t quit until you have completed the main story I don’t judge games until I have experienced whatever else the game has to offer
I went back to it two weeks ago , got 4 god rolls , i think Randy was trying to tell me welcome back lol
Totally impressed by this.
Just started with a new group of friends! One of them has never seen a BL game and is already addicted “excellent”.. sad though all my stuff is gone! So back to the grind but with friends this time should be fun
You never disappoint!
Can you turn off the 1,000 of flashing lights on your screen? Watched 1 minute and literally can't even see what's happening.
Reading these comments makes me feel hopeful for the future. God bless!
Borderlands 3 is easily the most fun in the series. Sure the story is pretty bad and too long imo but you only have to do it once per character which is a huge improvement over bl2 where you had to play the story 3 f*cking times to get to endgame.
The talent on display is incredible!
SpartanGameZone, Subscribed because your videos always make me smile!
I'm glad your enjoying yourself. But this game has more issues beyond story and dialogue.
Mayhem mode itself only exists to jack up the health on enemies while providing increased world drops but not dedicated drops. People want to farm for specific gear and the experience is so diluted when you have to sift through the other 5 legendaries on screen to find it.
Power creep is insane, and weapons that were in the original release are either nerfed over the top or don't scale as well as newer content. You may have 500 legendaries (defeats the purpose of legendaries being rare), but you'll still only use a fraction of them. Weapons are usually only useable from their anointments, and to get the one you want you need to gamble eridium to eventually get the one you want, let alone find a weapon with good parts.
Maliwan Takedown is good content but otherwise there isn't enough of an endgame to dedicate your builds towards other than Guardian Takedown or Proving Grounds where the bosses are simply spongier mobs that already exist in the game. With all that said, gunplay is great and the sound design is great too. I just wish they'd stop slacking on the endgame as it devalues the AAA price tag and leaves us with little to do.
My friends and I just returned for nostalgia sake. We have been having a blast!
I'm just now playing through Borderlands 2, started with 2
mitosis moze has to be the best build of all time
Borderlands 3 Next Level Edition is only $6.99 in the PS store right now until 8/14/2024…that’s a steal of a deal!
