I decided long ago to wait the 6 months for the steam release.

Not gonna lie... Really struggling, might fold.

I love getting caught up in the hype and mystery of new releases, I'm not sure the benefit of sticking to my principles is worth waiting 6 months anymore....

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

I'll decide tomorrow...

Quick one line summery from those playing now if you would be so kind?

BL2 but bigger and better?

Do it!

Can someone give me a rough idea of how far into the game I am?

Just landed on Eden-6

im not having any performance problems, im getting around 100fps, and most things are on the max setting. 2560x1440

I think your frustration should be directed at the developer instead. Besides borderlands 3 on consoles is a ****show right now anyway and way worse than on pc(which is odd considering its usually the otherway around).

Oh I know, I'm playing it on ps4pro currently, attempting split screen co-op with my wife as she's a massive BL fan, but its absolute car crash.

I just had a moment.

anyone that survives (Killavolt) on first attempt is a cocky git.

Cocky git coming through.

I'm level 16 though, probably wouldn't have tried at level 13 lol!

Overall a fun game, great graphics, great game-play, much fun in coop.

Having said that, it's definitely the weakest of the series story wise. The previous three Borderlands games (four if you include Tales from the Borderlands) had much more immersive stories, however that is mostly due to the heavy Scrappy Doo factor bringing down BL3

I'm loving it so far and had no performance issues at all. I'd have probably finished it by now but have been playing across two different characters. The weapons feel a bit punchier to me and the movement is better n this one, graphics look great and the only thing letting it down for me are the antagonists.

I'm playing as Moze. I'm level 10 and have just got to Promethea. Not being able to cancel the startup animations does irk. I do like that they've switched SDU upgrades to Marcus and made them cash.

Rust In Peace · 17 Sep 2019 at 23:42

Yeah I like that change too, overral I haven't found they've taken any steps back which they seem to do a bit in the Pre-Sequel.

u can turn off startup screens!

epic launcher > settings > bl3 then put -high -USEALLAVAILABLECORES -NoStartupMovies

Any news on a patch yet?

I tried support on their site but they just sent me some spam telling me to clear my cache on console and reinstall the game.

I can put off playing for another week.

made me laugh

Rust In Peace · 18 Sep 2019 at 09:54

Hey @Westie thanks for the tip man, I know its only a few minutes but damn they're annoying after the first time.

I'm doing both. I fully intend to re-buy it on Steam when it comes out.

My biggest complaint in the past games was the weapons not feeling punchy. I much prefer it now

Some of the weapons are really good, very good variety of them, they do genuinely feel different. Love some of the reload animations too

From what I see of the guns, they are pretty cool.

Aztec2Step · 18 Sep 2019 at 13:38

Speaking of guns, I've just got a Legendary pistol (can't recall the name) which holds nearly 100 shots, but has 3 clips so takes a while to reload lol.

Just decided to use one of my previous golden keys. Glad to see they’ve improved that loot. Got two orange shields and six purple items.
