Exactly. They couldn't be arsed to even explain at least some of the QoL changes going from BL2 to BL3I get this. There was a review for RAD from McCafferey on IGN that was just terrible. It was more of a summary than an actual review.

No one at EZA really cares for borderlands a whole lot, if be shocked if they have it over an 8.Oh.
Well, throw my last post in the trash until EZA review is out.
Bloodworth seems to be a fan. Or at least generally more positive in regards to the series. I'd be surprised if he weren't the one to review it.No one at EZA really cares for borderlands a whole lot, if be shocked if they have it over an 8.
Perhaps Borderlands 3's greatest triumph is that it never felt monotonous over more than 30 hours. I kept waiting for the energetic pace at which new enemies, weapon archetypes, and mission structures were introduced to slow to a grind… but it never did.
For starters, if your ECHO 3 mission log didn't clearly labe I would've had a hard time distinguishing Borderlands 3's side missions from its main story missions – and I absolutely mean that as a compliment. The optional tasks divvied out by the denizens of Pandora and its neighboring planets are creative, enjoyable, and rarely the kind of formulaic, repeatable filler usually associated with optional tasks. There are definitely still some fetch and kill quests, but there's almost always a twist that makes them feel unique – and when there's not, Borderlands 3's self-deprecating humor makes light of that situation.

And I know different people different opinions, I am just pointing out how divisive game is.
2080 for 1440p ultra 60 FPS?! Why on earth....I guess i have to play on high/mid to get 120+ FPS on 1440p.
It's only one review, right? Most of them like the game (including the humor), it's sitting at 85 Meta as of now. It's not some kind of conspiracy theory.Not enjoying a particular brand of humor is one thing, but the jokes in the game are pretty harmless, right? There's something about this franchise that is just so cool to hate

I can't imagine putting off BL because if it's dialogue. Shit just becomes background noise by the time you're in TVHM. Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's cringey. Who cares.
Yeah, it's simply a super popular franchise (45 million of copies or something?). The more popular you are, the more haters you will get.I guess I was speaking more to the franchise as a whole, didn't mean to sound like it was some conspiracy.
I used to love Borderlands humor when I was younger. Like I used to love things like Deadpool shenanigans when I was 19 or so. But that kind of humor sometimes tire off after a few years and I can understand why someone would be bored by it, even if it's perfectly harmless.I guess I was speaking more to the franchise as a whole, didn't mean to sound like it was some conspiracy.
That PC Gamer article about PC performance goes against what it says in its own review quoted below;
"Borderlands ran like a dream at 2560x1440 on my souped up PC, maintaining 90-plus fps with a few dips when loading in new areas and during particularly chaotic combat scenarios. For the complete picture, here's our Borderlands 3 performance review. "

a lot of players also play the game like a traditional shooter campaign. That's part of the appeal of Borderlands compared to Destiny/Division.Same. But I think what you see is some people reviewing or playing it like a traditional SP campaign - when its simply a looter shooter. Its like Destiny. People moaning about the story. Yet the players that sank hundred and hundreds of hours in couldn't have cared less it was all about getting that "piece of loot"....

It's fair to complain about the writing or the storyline if you didn't like it, but it's not the most important aspect in this series. It's all about shooting enemies and getting new guns, the storyline and dialogue are just an excuse to give you a reason to do all the shooting and looting.
I disagree. It's up to the player to decide what they value more in Borderlands. Why do you think they increased the story focus so much in 2, compared to 1? A lot of people consider Handsome Jack one of the best video game villains.
game sounds good but nothing amazing...just more of the same...if you loved B2 then you'll love B3...seems like Gearbox played it safe and just gave players more of what they like- Borderlands 2.5

The ".5" thing used to be really common in fanboy circles, Gears 1.5, Halo 2.5, etc.I don't get it, did people pulled that .5 stuff with other games, say Uncharted?
I mean hell Gears 5 is pretty much in line with all past titles, in the end I'm still doing the same thing which is killing Grubs in style yet I'm not bothered with the games being full fledged sequels.

Well, if you plan on buying the season pass anytime soon, you should get the super deluxe pre-order, because they will increase its price after launch :Hey, I'm thinking about pre ordering it maybe today but im really unsure what edition to go with. i really need some help or advice because im torn lol

It sure is something reading the reviews for this more or less saying, "It's more of the Borderlands you know, only more Borderlands" and getting 8's and 9's lol
Well, Gears 5 is receiving the same scores as BL3, so there is consistency at least!
Everyone pulls the ".5" if the game doesn't have a drastic departure visually from the previous game.

It's an excellent formula that GearBox was the innovator of that nobody else in the industry has fully replicated.
By all accounts they are offering dozens of hours of content in a package fans of the genre they essentially created should find really fun. How is that not an 8 or 9 game?
