Borderlands 3 | MORE Problems I Still Have With This Game 3 Years Later 

Point three: pearls absolutely SHOULD have returned. Point four: the UI on mouse and Keyboard is HORRIBLE. On controller is amazing. Weird that they never figured that one out.

The fact that the presequel did characterization better than 3 is astonishing. There's a quest where you need to hire a claptrap to open a door. But one of the players is a claptrap? YOUR claptrap can't open doors. And YOUR claptrap HATES himself for that. They took a likely plot hole and in 2 lines made it good characterization. And there's nothing like that in 3

18:28 bruh I couldn't agree more. I think Ava killed the story. I was legit getting into the story until Maya died, and then i suddenly just didn't care. The worst part was Ava blaming everyone but herself for getting Maya killed. Honestly they should make a Vault that revives people, and just bring Maya back

It's not just sirens. They can leech anything. They could literally kill anyone with a single touch, it's just that vault monsters and sirens make them more powerful. They talk about leeching their followers who are regular bandits and the like. So it's even worse then that. They have the ability to kill anyone so easily it's stupid. They made the villians way too OP and then just ignore the story and give us the biggest plot armour.

Early on in BL3, I thought the brother was going to be the mastermind of the story. The funny thing about his delivery was that he was so controlled and subtle, while his sister gesticulated and giggled like an imbecile, I thought he was manipulating her the entire time. Not only would this have been an interesting parallel with Jack (again, a villain who's not a direct threat) but this time the villain is entirely in control, but it would have even been a good and rather subtle commentary on the nature of many popular streamers: how despite being so beloved and wealthy and popular they're not actually in control of their own lives. The game dashed any hope of subtlety and good writing pretty fucking quickly after that.

Even then in BL2s defence, Jack only needed a siren and Lilith jumped at him. BL3 has no excuse.

“You feel like you are just watching the story, and not actually apart of it” YES!! It absolutely felt this way. In borderlands 2 the, “YOU KILLED WILLHELM?!” Was so satisfying the first time playing. Like yes, me, the player, did this, such a good feeling. But in 3, I as the player feel like I’m invisible. Unironically the only time I felt like I was in the story was when the general truant dude was like “you killed my little brother” or whatever lol Also, on the anointment topic, I absolutely agree. I have nearly 3000 hours in destiny 2, and all 3k of that has been spent trying to get slightly better versions of the guns I already have, and it’s miserable. The anointment system literally brought the worst part of destiny 2 into borderlands. There came a point when I just got so tired of it and just started using a save editor (I know, I’m a monster) to give my characters essentially infinite eridium, that way I could just get a good roll of a gun then take it to the anointment reroller.

The story would have been 10 times more interesting if troy was finale boss sure he's not great but he has much more personality then Tyreen and they even kinda hinted at this being the case because he was tired of having to always be behind his sister so he had a lot more motive then Tyreen and he was dying without his sister until taking Maya's powers just all around makes him have more motive for his actions tyreen doesn't really have any legitimate reason for why she's doing

I really actually like bl3, theres just the little things that ruin it: -Vault hunters being invisible, -How Maya's death is handled -The troy betrayal that goes nowhere -Aurelia's betrayal -Tannis being a siren -Vaughn being written poorly -Not explaining why all the raiders seemingly disbanded to do their own things -Tyreens motivation -Ava

On the topic of the UI...one of the things in BL2 that drives me crazy is how your character, and sometimes NPC companions like Deathtrap, just...stand on top of your inventory and you have to rotate the screen to see your crap. That, and BL3's inventory keybinds just make more sense to me. Other than that, no arguments here

Seeing how the new Tales game is literal trash in writing I think it's safe to say that they should probably get a better writing team already.

I really do think they put the Maya's death cutscene trigger in the wrong spot. It would make more sense for the trigger to be in that vault. Think about it, you walk in and the cutscene plays now the player is not within what I like to call "stopping this range" which is where the player character is well within the range and their capabilities. The reason that Roland's death works so well is because Jack just pops in and shoots Roland with no witty banter, and Theatrics. He gives you no chance to save Roland. The only hint you have tohim being there is that he appears behind Roland with the digi-struct particles appearing(which I only just notice in my most recent playthrough).

I agree I have replayed all three games and I always spend the most time playing 2 and the first game. I struggle to get through the story of 3 and then fighting the rng of anointments. Three does have the best experience but it should since it's the fourth game in the series and had better hardware. The UI is better in 3 same with the Bank and transferring between characters. For the retconning of 3 or even making changes they would have to use some of time travel. Sadly we are stuck with Ava. If I could rewrite 3 Ava would be completely different to where Maya looks for her just knowing she is a siren who basically has Angels power. Where she doesn't play a big part of the story and Tannis won't be a Siren and Lilith does what she does in the end of the game but in the beginning. She was built up at the end of 2 and the Fight for Sanctuary only to be tore down within the first hour in 3.

The Monarch on Moze is for BOSSES. You can even use a NON-Anointed one. What makes it work is the Mind Sweeper class mod. And you can use ANY Mind Sweeper as well. I’ve also done a bunch of runs where I don’t even focus on Anointments at all. Anointments is essentially farming for perfect grip from BL2. Luckily Anointments can also be rerolled. So, first point is kind moot.

You must be confused, there has never been a borderlands 3

1.) I give anoints a little more break than this (though I understand the frustration with the mechanic) because weapon parts/prefixes are incredibly less important now. Even with your example of the dpuh/packing gratifying herald, there’s still one or two viable prefixes that aren’t the “god roll” prefix so long as the anoint is decent as well. This is the case with a large amount of items in the game; where so long as the anoint is good, the prefix matters much much less. Even with anoints essentially taking the place of parts/prefixes (which if this was your main criticism of anoints I would understand but that doesn’t seem to be the case), there are plenty of builds for all characters that have anoint wiggle room and is a lot easier to get than a dpuh or 97 sham. 2.) the crazy earl reroll really made this easier on people to get their anointed gear AND their favorite prefix without endless hours of farming to happen to get the god roll of both to drop. It’s strange this wouldn’t be brought up as this is not a new mechanic at this point and REALLY lessens the sting of your first criticism. 3.) even in borderlands 2 where there’s no anoints, you could still get your god roll prefix, but still have less damage than an actual god roll due to the weapon parts not being perfect. Weapon parts are MUCH LESS important in borderlands 3 and in a lot of cases, are set to have some specific weapon parts every time. To me, I do not see a difference between finally getting a dpuh to drop only for it to have suboptimal parts, and getting a packing gratifying to drop only for it to have a suboptimal anoint; only difference I see is that at least in bl3 you can reroll anoints unlike parts in bl2, and anoints offer much more build variation than weapon parts ever did (a suboptimal anoint on one build could be a god roll for another build, whereas this was almost never if ever the case with bl2 weapon parts/prefixes). 4.) bit of a nitpick on my part, but there were plenty of times in the other games where the cutscenes left people feeling like their character had very little impact of where the story wanted to jerk you around, leaving you feeling like you had much less impact to the world overall; one of the most obvious examples that come to mind to me is when we watch Handsome Jack digistruct behind Roland, shoot him in the back, capture Lilith, and get away all the while our character is a foot away standing still. At least in this game, they tried to implement reasons into the cutscene for why we couldn’t stop them, such as being phaselocked. I can understand for some people maybe constantly being trapped in a bubble or blocked from helping made this issue more prevalent and in their face, but I really don’t think this is an issue with bl3 as much as it’s an issue with borderlands cutscenes in general and how they generally choose to move the plot forward throughout the franchise. I think this is a little more relevant here because you made a point to say it was going back to bl2 that showcased a lot of these complaints of bl3 for you, but I would imagine this is something you would notice in the bl2 story as well if you just replayed it. I think a lot of your other criticisms are pretty valid and are common complaints you see from the community, but it just felt like that first half of the video came either from a place of being uninformed, or needlessly nitpicky in order to bolster your own feelings on the game, without taking into consideration whether or not these issues existed in the franchise already, or not mentioning aspects of your undesirable mechanic that actually either improve the game loop, or make little to no difference to the game loop when compared to previous installments.

Wow, it's been 3 years and I still have no desire to play this. The story really turned me off, I would rather play the older ones. This killed my enthusiasm for borderlands

I never beat 3, i got so bored of the story, comedy,medicore bosses, and uninteresting side quest that i quit right after Taneth was kidnapped. Worst part was i was playing with friends and had to outright tell them i wasn't having fun and wanted to play something else.

crazy earl has an annointment reroll machine straight across from the vending machine in front of his door. there you can spend all that worthless erridium to reroll the annoints on your gear.

2:09 yeah I agree with that 100% especially when it came to that gun. I listened to the RU-vidrs. Got all the correct gear and… the gun still sucked. Could barely kill anything. Even tho at the time I basically made a 1 by 1 copy of the build of each RU-vidr I watched talking about it. But for some reason it was amazing for them and shit for me. Don’t know how the monarch is one of the best weapons in the game. Cause it sucks :/

Worst thing about the Amara bit is that she legit tries to interact with and get answers out of the other sirens and they are just like "lol ok anyways" like she calls one of them her sister (I believe lilith) etc and she just gets ignored. So even out of cutscenes she gets the major shaft.

i just recently grabbed 3 while already being prepared for story to be terrible and have weird agenda but feeling just... not even involved into story while being center piece of it in theory is indeed fucking miserable, gameplay is FREAKING godly and takedowns alot of fun but dear god the story just a the most massive let down

Plot armor for amara be like

Plot twist: Borderlands 3 is anti-vault hunter propaganda created by Jack to show that they can’t protect the galaxy without large-scale war and casualties

Yeah it's crazy how they didn't build off of TPS with your character having more stakes in the story. You're basically not even there the entire game. And even worse at the very end, they ask who should lead the Crimson Raiders. Instead of, idk, you the player who did ALL the work and killed the Calypso twins. No, we'll just let the teenager who blames everyone for something she did be the leader

Pearl rarities should have honestly just been the gun's god rolls. Like... Tada, you just got the best version of this legendary time with some extra silly fanfare attached to it or something.

Honestly, Borderlands 3 felt like it was made by children in some way. "MY CHAWACTEW WILL BECOME GWOD!!!!" The stakes are so cartoonishly high they mean absolutely nothing? Tyreen and Troy want to become God. Okay, so they want power. What for? What's their end goal? Beliefs? "THEYWE STWEAMEWS... THOSE AWE EVIL!!!!" that and their parents didn't want them to leave a planet to protect them. And even then, Tyreen succeeds in becoming "God", and to paraphrase Tannis, "What is God if not the most powerful being in the universe" So, we kill "God"... Are WE the most powerful beings or what? What was the whole point? What was I meant to get out of it...? There's also the obvious braindead writing. In all these years, no corporation decided to just nuke two bandits out of orbit? Not even to try and fight them? (The Behind the scenes had anti-cult ads from the corporations, so I'm guessing something went really bad during development.) No one found the Vault Map? It was literally just lying around, and in year they didn't find it? If Tyreen can just teleport anyone anywhere in space, why doesn't she teleport our characters into a meat grinder? Why doesn't she confront us? Why don't they ever try to kill us? They're the most OP characters we've seen yet. The cutscenes are also very, very awkward and badly made. Which, for a game that wants to be more cinematic? That's not good. The fact Ava feels like a terrible self insert, does nothing, is a LITERAL CHILD, yet somehow becomes the leader of a Space Militia??? The Main Vault Hunters are VERY one note. They never evolve or change, and they don't really react in their own way. Honestly, the Vault Hunter dialogue is a HUGE downgrade from TPS. In TPS they'd each react differently, in interesting ways that still drove the narrative, and the NPCs would also react to them. Not to mention they'd also talk to each other in Co-op sometimes. This one is more personal to me, but the fact we kind of are just goody two shoe guys? The whole point of Vault Hunters is that we are Mercenaries/Treasure Hunters. Each one has their reason to fight, but it's not because they're space superheroes. In Borderlands 1, we aren't fighting anything evil, just a corporation trying to get the edge against it's competitors. In The Pre-Sequel, we were hired just to seek a vault, but are boarded by a crazed cult-militia that is desperate to stop the future. They're in our way, but that's the only real reason we fight them. In Borderlands 2, we are fighting Jack because he wants to kill all Mercenaries and Bandits. That is us. Plus he has the key to the Vault, which we want. We get caught up in this little war because Jack wants to actually make Pandora a livable place, which goes against our interests. In Borderlands 3, we fight Tyreen and Troy because....????? They want to become Gods (for the sake of being Gods because power because they had family issues.) They don't want what's in the vault, they just want to succ the monsters. Honestly, what's the reason our characters didn't just join them? They literally have no reason to fight the CoV. "They're bandits!" Yes, every notable character in the border planets is a bandit. You could argue the COV want Vault Hunters gone (They seem to be against vault hunters) but again, why? They literally thank us for killing the Vault Monster for them, aka they lose NOTHING from Vault Hunters existing and getting the random treasure and riches. Honestly, the plot would make more sense if we were on their side. They both want power. It just feels like we are goody two shoes super heroes because "WE FIGHT BAD PEOPWE". It's just so out of character for the franchise. There's way, way, way more things I could mention, but eh... I think what ruined the gameplay for me was Mayhem 2.0. They left a LOT of playstyles and gear behind, because, duh, they couldn't possibly rebalance everything. So you have stuff like The Green Monster. Which is one of two Bottomless Mags focused class mod. It's feature is the more you shoot, the more Acid damage you get. Except.... They didn't make it scale. So the damage is just extremely pitiful, not to mention it has zero synergy with Moze. Honestly, in my opinion the issue is exactly the focus and over-use of Sirens and Vaults. It was special because it was rare. We open multiple vaults (Not to mention that in the New Tales [my god, what a nightmare of a "game"] there's a third Vault in promethea that random citizens find by just... walking around in the sewers.) The fact it's so trivial completely ruins it. Not to mention that Tales from the Borderlands and The Pre-Sequel had set up a lot of intrigue for the franchise, before we got these new writers. (Too bad both of them got partly retconned [Like Aurelia, Vaughn and Rhys' characters being rewritten, the ending of TPS and Tales being completely ignored and erased, and other little things) I honestly would be WAY more interested for a Borderlands taking place during the Corporate Wars and the downfall of the "Central government" than 50 vaults and scientists recreating the power of the (supposedly super rare and mysterious) Sirens. My only explanation is that the chest Rhys and Fiona found has the ability to show really crappy non-canon alternate realities, and that's all 3 and New Tales is. Then they join the Watcher and the other living Vault Hunters from TPS, 1 and 2 and await whatever is to come.

We need to go full "Endgame" and have B4 with The Watcher leading a new team of vault hunters traveling back in time and fixing the twins shenanigans that messed up his premonition of a great war.

Imo I really like Borderlands 2 UI better. I like getting a good view of my character, while seeing the menu

I had over 1200 hrs on BL2, I think I had maybe around 10-15 hrs on BL3. I was so done finishing the BL3 story and I just couldn't bring myself to do another play though. I was thinking about coming back for some of the dlc but I was just so let down man. it would be great if BL4 revived my love for the franchise but im not gonna get my hopes up

6:32 so basically it’s the difference between watching a bad guy take both of your friend’s knee caps even though you can easily save him. And the same bad guy taking your friend’s knee caps, but he legit forgot you were even in the same room as him. And he REFUSES to acknowledge your existence till after he’s done with your friend.

Entirely unrelated, but I don't know which save editor you used. If you want to save yourself the hassle of getting anoints on a particularly good roll, some save editors DO let you edit the anointment, under "generic parts" it's usually labeled. For instance, I'm looking at my Supercharged Mother Too, and it has GPart_All_UnhealthyRadDamage (I ignore anoints instead of sweating over them, as long as they're not sabotaging me like periodic novas can when near barrels). That generic part is correlated to when under 50% health, do 100% bonus radiation damage. And yeah. I could agree or disagree on the topic of how they handled legendaries. I think legendaries as an item type are too common, but from targeted sources, the desired drops are about right. Especially that one event they ran with loot explosions, good grief. Completely desensitized someone new to the game to the intended value of a legendary weapon. That being said, I also will never forgive borderlands 2 on launch when I got told to get a bee shield to run a raid boss, farmed nonstop for 3 days to get a single drop, then got 1 exceptionally shitty variant that had niche use against pyro peet (sort of). That was one of many psychic wounds I was dealt that quickly killed all desire to play that game. Now if I want an appropriate element of a legendary in BL3, assuming I want to ignore god rolls, even one that can spawn in all 6 elements can be ground out within a day for the targeted element. Lets me just get something passable for the purpose and get on with the game much quicker. You're dead on about most of this stuff, though, bro. I have to agree with most other opinions.

i have no idea why in the cutscenes why all 4 player hunters arent there all 4 are canonically there such as 1 and 2 i get for the regular boss fights but the pre rendered ones absolutely should have all 4 referenced

Makes me glad, i quit after they killed Maya and my character stood around like a jackass while my wiafu died

This is just my own opinion and kinda how I approached borderlands 2: First time through (and mayyybe 1 or 2 playthroughs afterwards) I paid attention to the story and dialogue; got a kick out of some of it. I enjoyed Jack as a villain and some of the side characters. After that, every time I’d replay the story in new game plus or as another character, I would not actively pay attention to the story itself but to the gameplay. I would put RU-vid videos on in the background while I enjoyed finding different ways of killing enemies and bosses, trying out new skills, etc. I do not care for 3’s story (although, like everyone, I wish it had been good) but that only seems like a big deal for my first playthrough. In comparison with 2, the guns feel way better, movement and UI are less clunky and the gameplay overall is smoother. If I could get both a good story and good gameplay in a game I’d want both obviously, but for a borderlands game I’ll take satisfying gameplay over a good story any day of the week.

Farming anointments feels sort of like farming for parts in bl2. It honestly might be better because you can reroll anointments when you can’t in bl2

I rlly wish they would just retcon the base BL3 story. It’s just so hard to get over how bad they butchered mayas character. The only thing I can see being done is in the next game, AvA doing a full 360 in character and becoming more mature and reflective on past mistakes. Maybe another time jump or something, I feel like (if done right) it would acknowledge the bad character choices in BL3 and make the fans feel in some way validation. If anyones ever played DA2 before think of carver, in the base game people hated him and he was overall the least liked companion but when the DLC came out they changed the character and even had jokes that made fun of how much of n asshole the character was when he was younger. It made him a lot more enjoyable and made u putting up with him thru the base story feel justified.

i swear even pre sequel makes it about YOUR character (unless thats just for dlc characters/timothy)

You hate on the save editor until it saves you from a broken quest

Do you not know that you can re-roll anointments? You don't have to farm the legendary multiple times. Though it is pretty expensive, 250 eridium per re-roll.

I think a GPS on the mini map would be a better addition than making the maps smaller.

I like the anointments it's an extra challenge. What I don't like is the fact that there are no different visible weapon parts.

hud has a lot of problems in bl2, theres this unintentional equipping of a weapon into a neighboring slot and equipping another grenade instead of leaving the slot empty, weird mouse wheel inversion that you have to fix by reopening inventory, cant invest skill points into left or right tree when you display all three at once. Putting the backpack inventory next to hotbar saves one mouse click in bl3 compared to bl2.

The UI is annoying for me because for the first time in the series I can't use number keys as shortcuts to menus.

i only have map issues on the entirety of Eden-6 and the first area of Pandora (The Droughts?)

I am so confused about what you guys are talking about with the monarch. It was the best gun in the game the moment I picked it up, even when it had a useless annointment and I had bad gear.

I wish they expanded on troys phase lock ability. That cutscene where he phase locked you was amazing. They should have done way more with scenes like this.

You do know you can reroll annointments I assume? Besides, in BL2 even a DPUH could still be farmed to get the god roll parts.

The "writers" for Borderlands 3 collectively had written for like 6 different highly obscure things that nobody has probably heard of, they were not qualified in the slightest to be anywhere near a franchise like Borderlands.

When I farm for a gun in bl3 and I finally get it there's a feeling of finally its over then I use it and its just not as good as it should be

this video deserves more views!!! I agree with everything.

A point towards weapon stats: Annointments do NOT change anything about them, the +X% weapon damage, +Y percent splash radius and so on are inherent stats of the weapons that vary by weapon parts, which is a similarly fucked matter, but is unrelated to annointments, a gun with an annointment has the descriptor text for said Annoinment at the bottom of the weapon card, like the Monarch shown at 3:24 with it's "While an action skill is active, weapon damage is increased by 100%". And while that is still absolutely horrible to farm for, you can at least get a different annointment by visiting crazy earl, where the Annoint Reroller is. Also, what really hurts pretty much ALL players' experience, especially now that the forums are gone, is that the skill descriptions aren't actually true to what most skills do in the damage formula, which leads to builds being very unoptimized, which will make Mayhem 10 much more spongy than it needs to be and throws off the feeling of how good or bad a gun actually is. Any decently build Moze will destroy pretty much anything with a Monarch while the Shredifier falls off hard. But you cannot feel that until your build is optimized enough that weapon balance becomes the deciding factor.

Couldn't agree more

I wish you could just make blue/green/white weapons invisible. It’s so annoying trying to see what legendaries dropped when they are covered in piles of trash. Trash with laser beams.

“I might just stick to just playing the games to have fun” lol like…what? What were you playing it for before?

I was so pissed after killing the final boss and i wasnt even in the last cutscene. I love the vault hunters you can play as(mainly fl4k) but feeling less important than bloody ava is just sucky

I only started playing today... and yeah, I've already been feeling these. I had my reservations upon seeing the siren character, then all was confirmed when the first item I see in a vending machine was a legendary grenade that didn't even seem like it should be a legendary. To top it off, Lilith having her powers taken, and I already knew my bl2 main (Maya) would die, I genuinely don't think I'll finish this game, I love the guns so far, they're f-ing awesome (minus underwhelming legendaries), but I just don't feel like I like it as much as 2 and I kinda feel sad about it. Doesn't help that the main villains remind me of some of the brats I went to high school with, and are literal social media influencers. Anyway, that's my rant. It might be worth saying, I've only played 2 before this, I did recently pick up 1 and think I may load it up after I inevitability uninstall 3, I won't refund it, but I will eventually uninstall it. (Btw, there is a reason Maya is not considered for charging the vault. She can't use eridium to supercharge herself like Lilith and angel can. One of the holos explains it, I think it's in the preserve somewhere.)

I don't mean to be rude but I think your bulid may just be a lil off, as on Moze usually the Monarch is a never ending bullet hose, even with eh roles, also you can use a reroll machine to easily get what you need, Eridum is DUMMY easy to farm. Other then that, yeah this story is ASS which is so weird because the DLCs SLAP hard in this game so the base game being this wack feels just so odd

Why does this sound like it was recorded before the krieg dlc came out? Or wonderlands for that matter? Can some one give an answer pls?

My head cannon is that you as a siren arnt worth it to them where as Lilith and maya are legends and you are a nobody basically. Also they froze you in place for the cutscenes to torture you as to say your so weak you couldn’t even resist my night and save your friends.

I feel like half of the campaign was missing, it really feels like Troy would've gotten more power hungry and betrayed Tyreen, then you and Tyreen team up to fight Troy, in which he kills Tyreen and becoming a stronger boss fight

I like the idea of rebooting after BL2 and not even count BL3 as cannon no hammerlock and Jacob's B.S. and all that Maya and Ava crap.

And you don't speak for everyone. I like Ava. She a good character. Just miss understood. I say Ava is awesome. The problem people hating Ava is because you all don't really pay attention to the story line. Not only that. People should had Realized she just a kid. It wasn't her fault and the way she acted wasn't her fault to. Anyone would blame other if they saw someone they care about. Even they knew it there fault. But she did apologize to Lilith at the end. Did Amite she was wrong when she blame Lilith when she talk to Tannis. Would know this. If you was paying attention to the story line.

You can re roll annointments on weapons

"annointments" that you said...... is just... wrong... those aren't anointments, those are the weapon PARTS..... and guess what, rolling a DPUH in bl2? DOESNT MEAN YOU HAVE THE BEST ONE... there was weapon parts and modifiers on borderlands 2..... the diference is that you had to know via a separate GRAPH explaining them, the only thing bl3 added in weapons were the explanation of the random rolls that every other game had, and later on the TRUE anointments, that are the yellow re-rollable special feature... if anything your point KILLS ITSELF, because if that is a bad thing in your view, you should LOVE BL3 ._. cause it added FIX ITEMS that always roll with the same parts and modifiers! :D hellwalker, impaler, and many others have fixed parts, if you farm 1000 of them of the same level, they'll all be the EXACT SAME with same parts and modifiers... a bad thing that they did was with the class and relics, those have 20+ prefixes and 20+ modifiers that can be anything... making them as difficult to farm as a god roll gun...

just played 4 player (all fl4g) co-op on mayhem 10. in cutscenes contaned someone shout: ''whos f*cking monkeys/jabbers gun is this''. also got lvl 1 infinity pistol on mission Capture the Frag, which you escort bomb to COV outhouse (or what i presume it is).

Axton got screwed over, they could have made him second in comand of the raiders, instead, hes a model , which makes no sense given how he loved action and violence, why would he be a model, hell he looked happy in the raiders in his echo logs in the pre sequal, guage too

As amara , ennemies often call you a fake siren . Might explain why the calypso don't aknowledge her

the point about amara being in danger of leeching is very unfair, why didn't jack take maya to charge the vault key?

Its an interactive disney+ show, i swear. I dont even bother paying attetion to the story like i did with bl2. Im not mad, just disappointed

Great video but you missed 1 thing. They should’ve added dlc characters!!!

Seraph should still be around. There are raid bosses

if you wanna blame anyone for how 3 handles anoints and "godroll" farming, blame Joltz for farming a quest redemption screen 230+ times for a "godroll" relic in his BL2 streams of *Green Rarity*

I don't get the story complaints. Was there any story I should've cared about in any Borderlands game? Apart from Jack and (sometimes) Torgue, the characters are just meat.

The UI still lags, the performance on NEXT GEN console is horrible are two things off the top of my head they never fixed

I think there's a huge issue with pretty much knowing Lillith is alive at the end of the director's cut. It gives very little room for time to pass because with a fully functioning ship why didn't they just go to the damn moon? It gives less room for Ava to grow and get experience and even tho i don't like her Lillith handed her the keys for some fucking reason and if she comes back then it'll be such a cop out even if it is for the better. I don't mind a retcon but with how much the creators seem to like Ava and how much importance they gave her as being maya's disciple and a future siren her having no importance in the next title would be really weird but her not growing and becoming more likeable behind the scenes means either we're going to have to watch it happen through all of the next game, it will be instant, or even worse, it doesn't happen at all.

There is an unkept Harold in borderlands 3?

I dont mind the story, its very easy for me to ignore as i shoot anything with a red health bar

Monarch, you realize that you're supposed to ads with it. Like, that's also where a big chunk of dmg comes from my guy.

BL4 "deal with the devil". You resurrect maya and sacrifice ava. Devil turns out to be some cosmic horror bs. Reason to add in more cool weapons and give players person modes of travel like rocket boots or something. BL3 map is trash. Especially areas with multiple levels. You stack all that shit on top of one another and becomes unreadable trash. Pretty horrible in Revenge of the Cartel once you enter the building.

You know you can reroll the anointment right?

The hunt for loot is the fun, BIS is where the fun begins to die, we dont like to think about it but it's true

Borderlands 4 is gonna have time travel.

About the annointments, you have no clue what you are talking about. Annointments are the bonus effects a gun has for example "on action skill end", "while action skill is active" and others. What you are complaining about are weapon parts which are the exact same bl2. For example in bl2 you could get a flying sandhawk with a bandit stock, that gun would not be a godroll since you need the dahl stock on it for it to be a godroll. Also bl3 save edit allows the changing of annointments and parts.

Hard disagree on UI being seemless or in any way good in BL2. You have to scroll it like a mad man cause there is a lot of dead space on the screen, gun selection is fimmicky and buggy exactly in ways you describe it for BL3 and i think about it ALL the time using it That's my expercience with it at least, across both BL2 and Presequel and /multiple/ laptops and PCS

Simple answer is they pushed an ideal instead of making a good game.

New! Tales is canon?

I think it’s funny that the only music used is from bl2, not bl3

I agree. Map, UI, Rarity all fucked. It was a waste of my money including a season pass.

Eden 6 is a plague on this game. I hate ava, I don't like the ui, I don't like the enemies, I don't like the way they did loot in this game but my opinion with Eden 6 is the same as the community's opinion on ava. I could write a college level essay on how awful of an experience the entirety of Eden 6 is

You can reroll the anointments🤯🤯🤯 that easy 🤯

this has some solid points but a ton of it is very opinion based, like yes, amara doesn't get leeched, but come on, imagine you had your very first play through, encountering Troy's battle and then getting you're ENTIRE build deleted. not very cool

Have you played Tiny Tina's Wonderlands? I heard that the base game is an improvment from BL3 but the DLCs are a fucking scam

Point 1: You weren't talking about annointments. You were talking about weapon parts. It's the weapon parts that affect the base stats of the guns. It's always been the weapon parts. Annointments are the things on the bottom of the card that make the weapons more effective under certain circumstances. Point 2: The story removed player agency. That has always been a complaint. Point 3: Did you know there were different tiers of legendary weapons in the original Borderlands? Yup, they ranged from bright light yellow to a much deeper yellow. The deeper the yellow, the more rare the legendary weapon was. Point 4: The UI. Point and click vs press a button several times. Sure, there's lag, but I've found lag on both input devices. The problem is the UI itself. Point 5: The reason Ava seemed so unlikable was the fact that she was a teenager. More than a few people forgot how they acted as teenagers, and the ones that do, hated themselves for it.

The graphics were nice, the little QOL improvements and the lower damage numbers, everything else sucked, from UI to general story that was so bad it made the game unreplayable to me. Bought it, finished ONCE and never touched it again since launch, on other note I can replay BL2 an infinite amount of times no problem, even Pre Sequel was nice compared to this dumpster fire

Things bo3 did good and bad Good: Fast travel More customization Lotta guns CARS LOTTA FUCKOn CARS Zane Sanctuary III Space Zane Krieg and bounty of blood DLC Dahl Zane shirtless skin More use to erridium Satisfying hit sounds Satisfying guns Sliding VH's have voice lines Bad: Story Characters (except Zane) Claptrap va change Talk to Lilith Too many planets Filler missions Zane (jk) No 5th & 6th VH Annointments Forgettable characters (not Zane god that man is hot) Previous VH barely did anything (including zero and Maya) No Zane porno :(

I found out pearls existed because a fucking two fer unforgiven dropped out of the bunker gun and i was like what the fuck is that

bl1 had the best ui before the remaster. bl2 made me want to die but i got used to it. bl3 as bad as bl2 but u can't get used to it

You could also go back to bl2 after bl3 and miss sooooo much quality of life stuff lol

Bruh you can reroll annoints
