    Plot, characters, and writing aside, Borderlands 3 was a very well made and fun game on a technical level. I’m definitely interested in Borderlands 4, as long as we can continue to skip cutscenes lmao.

      fair enough. I was dying from the cringe which took away from the enjoyment of the game mechanics for me. Really it was 90% Ava’s fault. Comparatively it almost makes that section of ps4 God of War where atreus had his rebelious phase enjoyable.

      Can you tell me what you liked about it? I’m not a fan in general (looter shooters like that just aren’t my thing), but all my friends are, and none of them have ever had a positive thing to say about 3, with opinions ranging from meh at best to absolutely awful. Hell, even the guy in our group who unironically loves bad games even had nothing good to say

        As a Borderlands sequel, or just as a game? I’ve never actually heard anyone complain about the gameplay. It’s the same gameplay the series is known for but even more refined, with tons of QoL improvements. It is quite literally the best in its class with no real equal.

        The only thing I can imagine about your friends is that they didn’t get through much of the gameplay because they were turned off by the horrifically bad writing, cringelord villains, and a sense of humor firmly stuck 15 years in the past, which I would not blame them for.

          Yeah, gameplay wise, it was pretty solid. Main story was almost total blah. Season 1 dlc stories were a lot better imnsho.

          The drop rate for legendaries were ridiculous, it rained legendaries everywhere, it felt un special. So, I guess, the loot rarity rates seemed a bit not-rare.

        I actually really enjoyed the Eldritch horror storyline. Though overall it’s a somewhat forgettable story. Still better than Pre-Sequel in my mind. But I’m the odd one out I know
