    Borderlands 3 is an action role-playing first-person shooter video game developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K Games. It is the sequel to 2012's Borderlands 2, and the fourth main entry in the Borderlands series. Borderlands 3 was released on 13 September 2019 for Microsoft Windows, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. A Google Stadia port has been confirmed for a later release date.
    Borderlands 3 allows the players to complete quests and side missions, in singe-player or multiplayer, as one of the four main "Vault Hunters". Unlike the first two games Borderlands 3 takes the players to various other planets in order to stop the two main antagonists, twins Troy and Tyreen Calypso.

      More like an impossible roof to break. Four games (five if you count the Tales non-game) and Jack is the only villain of such caliber. At this point I'm convinced they accidentally wrote a good adversary and the entire franchise has been riding on Jack's dick ever since, and now the fabled Borderlands 3 is tolerable if you mute the dialogue and play your own music or a podcast in the background.
      Okay, Knox was cool too.

    22:40 - No artist or programmer would be punished if you refused to buy the game while it was locked to the Epic Games Store. As it stands they take a large sum of money that supposedly covers the debts the game accumulated during development... gearbox and it’s employees don’t miss out on anything. The company, the one they work for, would still have to pay them. Gearbox would have to re-evaluate the decisions that led to poor sales. Aka taking an exclusive deal from Epic. Rushing the game with bugs. Etc. unfortunately, to many people are so apathetic to all the bs going on that they actually help promote it rather than help stifle it’s growth.
    Every time you make an exception it only gives companies the green light to go exclusive and put their stuff on the trash heep Epic Game Store. Every time you buy a micro transaction you let the company know that micro transactions are what they should be focusing on.
    If everyone wants games to go back to being games that are well made, complete, and perform well out the gate, then people need to stick to their guns and hold to a set of standards and principles. Otherwise, things just get progressively worse as time goes on and people’s apathy allows this rotten trend to continue.
    Devs will say stuff like...
    Look it worked for them! Let’s do it to. Gamers don’t have principles anyway!

    22:40 - Your point stands but I very much disagree with that sentiment about "think of the developers" because affecting their bottom line can nourish change for the better for not just the product and company, but the industry as a whole. Unless Randy comes out bitching and the journalist shove all the "gamers" under the rug again and some "gamers" say and do a bunch of stupid shit that'll only negate any and all criticisms towards the industry. (I mean if we said and did nothing because we "thought of the developers" with EA's Battlefront 2, it would probably still have P2W loot boxes.)
    I honestly agree that people should enjoy what they want but I also want to inform and encourage the masses to not support these types of behaviors. Especially now since I've grown more self-aware from experience in the past and as I've grown older and become more informed. We all should do that. We should also never belittle or cast aside those who just want to have fun. But those people who wanted the product should not complain about issues outside of the product. If you bought something on a store/launcher that has issues, and you were well aware of those issues, don't complain about about that store/launcher. You just wanted the product.
    Really though my bottom line is that I want no THIRD-PARTY exclusives on the PC platform and just in general. I want everyone who's on the PC platform or is joining it to equally enjoy a product and have the BEST EXPERIENCE POSSIBLE.

      I think it's that, without the lighting, BL3 would be basically Borderlands 2 in terms of looks. But that's okay. Cel-Shaded graphics aren't meant to blow you away. When Gman talks about taking 15 seconds staring at the cyberpunk planet, I think we're all gonna take 15 minutes staring at the world of....well, Cyberpunk. It also speaks to the medium that Cel Shaded graphics make a game hold up no matter how old it is. Look at games like Viewtiful Joe, Okami, and Sly Cooper. They're not the best, but they hold up because of their artstyle. I mean, look at MvC3 compared to Mortal Kombat 9. Both released in 2011, both 2D fighting games, but MvC looks a lot better. Granted, games like Battlefield 3 are also from 2011 and still hold up relatively well today. Idk I'm going off in a tangent.

    Since the only friend who wanted to play this with me owns a PS4 (and no gaming PC), we went for the console version.
    Splitscreen on PS4 means we play at 10-15fps (and even less if one of us DARES to open the menu to chech his inventory/skills) and playing with a controller means any build based on critical hits and overall AIMING isn't an option (he went for a tank/shotgun Amara while I just toss grenades everywhere with Moze).
    Dispite all of that, we're still having quite some fun with Borderlands 3, so that's saying a lot about the overall quality of the game I guess.

      As a fellow PS4 player (can't stand Epic store) I can agree, optimization is pretty lacking. Maybe I was spoiled by Handsome Collection running so smooth at all times, even splitscreen ran pretty well, but man the second-long pauses every time you bring up a menu is grating.

    Having played this on the Xbox One X, I can confirm the performance really isn’t better on there. I haven’t had any crashes, (knock on wood,) but I’ve had frame rate issues, the game freezing for a second or two and then coming back, usually resulting in me running into a wall. I’ve had an enemy launch about a mile away after I used Amara’s slam ability, meaning I couldn’t get the loot from it. I enjoy Borderlands 3 a lot, and I love the sound design and the way it looks, but I think there’s a lot of things that just don’t work in this game, such as devoting so much anti-piracy software to the game that it hampers the performance. Definitely a really great review, Gman.

    0:36 Why does she have spiked studs on the right shoulder of her vest if she shoots right-handed?
    9:28 It's like if CZcams personalities had a literal "cult of personality" like Immortan Joe.
    *Note:* Wait, wait, wait. "Cambot?!" How do they get away with using the name "Cambot?!" That's already taken! MST3K beat them to it.
    9:48 That Vladof machine pistol makes no mechanical sense due to the gap at the back of the receiver combined with the fact that the magazine well is in the grip. How do the cartridges feed?! This isn't rocket surgery! Gunsmithing is a form of engineering, yeah, but not it's not rocket surgery.
    12:41 I'll always associate that with the NES version of Strider (also the Genesis and arcade versions, but mostly the NES one).

    18:14 Don't get me started on scoped sh0tguns. Same for Mashers. Ir0n sights are fine by me as long as they line up right (a lot of them don't in BL2/TPS). Simplicity is perfection.
    18:24 "Five power" is how that's meant to be enunciated. It's even worse on a sh0tgun or Masher. Ir0n sights or ghost ring sights are ideal for a sh0tgun. Plain ol' pistol sights for a Masher.
    21:51 I'm a Hoosier of Virginian heritage, descended from Appalachian moonshiners, and I'm not offended by the way they portray the Hodunks.
    22:38 Maybe customers and developers together should consider forming a secessionist movement against publishers, number crunchers, and internationalist bankers. Take Two is Jack-era Hyperion and SupMatto was our Roland.

    Wait a minute your taking time out of your review to give objective examples of gameplay changes from BL2 to BL3??? But every other “reviewer” cough said there was no changes from BL2 to BL3!
    Not to mention ShillUp saying “I wish the open world was expanded more” and I’m like why? Why do you want unnecessary padding to a campaign that’s meant for multiple playthrough.
    Oh don’t forget the critique “it’s just more borderland”. What nonsense. I’m glad this review wasn’t like the other ones I’ve been seeing.

    This game is solid. I’ve really enjoyed my time in it so far, but I got to say the writing is total shit. Always has been, but everything is so cringey I can’t help but agree with you. Especially running the coffee missions and such, I thought those were really stupid. But the gunplay is great.

    As fun as the mechanics are, the thought of replaying it once let alone multiple times is nauseating. It goes on more than long enough even without the DLCs and gets pretty repetitive feeling later on like 2 did. I had the most fun going through the whole Promethea act.

    Your review was THE most honest, straightforward, and half decent review I've watched of BL3.
    Everyone bitches about how bad the writing is and how terrible the game is compared to BL2. Your review looked at BL3 for what it was worth - all the good and bad that came with it. You didn't shit all over the game purely because of its bad writing because there IS more to BL3 than that.
    Thank you for your honesty!
