GameStop has rated Borderlands 3 at 8/10 and PC Gamer at 63%. From what I’ve read, it seems that the main quarrel is tired humor and unimaginative characters. I planned on preordering the game after the testing/pre-release reviews were released, however, I’m no longer sure. I’ve heard that the gameplay and the arsenal are what’s to be expected and more from a Borderlands game, but do I really want to play a Borderlands 2 rehash? If the story isn’t inspired and there is hardly any comedic relief, what motive do I have to spend $60 on the game?

I’m not sure how big the video game community is on WebDip, but any discussion on borderlands and expectations are welcome here.

I would wait until it's heavily discounted

I dont think borderlands 1 or 2 were all that exciting

Borderlands is best played with others, especially couch co-op. My wife and I are terrible at shoot'em up games but we've played all the Borderlands games together. I would wait until the game is on sale though.

It is at 46€ on instantgaming, I'll wait where it lower than 35 too..

I feel like Borderlands is pretty straightforward in terms of making it clear what it is. If you liked the first few, I don’t see why you wouldn’t like the new one.

Also, I miss couch coop. I’m glad a few games still allow it.

I miss a lot of aspects of old school video games.
-Popping a new game in and enjoying it immediately (No required downloads)
-No notification in the middle of an offline game
-Renting videogames! I miss this so much
-Having actual disks. Those used to exist.
-Split screen actually being supported/considered in the creation of frame data and real time storage. I feel like newer split screen games just freeze/crash/lag when attempting even two players.

playing through the campaign of halo 3 that first time was awesome

In case anybody was interested, I ended up purchasing Borderlands 3 on PlayStation and would love to have some fellow webdip players to play with
