Borderlands General Thread

It looks like we finally have a Borderlands 3 confirmation.


It looks like what you'd expect it to look like, tbh. I think they've mentioned that its been in the works for about five years.

There is also an HD 4k remake of the original Borderlands that is 4 player co-op.

I'm already rock hard

Bought Borderlands 2 years ago knowing very little about it, wanted a mindless shoot em up game. Was blown away by it, totally hooked.

YES

I am not thrilled with the epic games exclusive for 6 months. Epics platform is garbage. This is one of my all time favorite franchises, but I think I will wait for it to be available elsewhere. Which is a bummer.

Honestly, with the 18%~ difference in the cut that Epic takes I strongly suspect that Steam is going to turn into Myspace here pretty quickly.

I do think Borderlands is the perfect type of game to wait six months on, though. The series has some of the best DLC content out there so there really isnt rush to play it.

I completely understand why they do it for the 18%, but Epic is just not a good platform. I am fine with it not being Steam, but Epic is shady as hell.

 

[Mebert]

The overall point is valid though. Steam is no longer the only platform out there, so the 30% they charge won't hold up. Even if Steam did lower the rate the exclusive release would still happen. Epic pays for the right to do it.

A bunch of gameplay footage from a streamer using the Siren. This spoils the entire first(?) mission so I'd recommend just looking at it for no longer than a couple of minutes just to get the idea of what it looks like.

Looks sweet. I had to re download Borderlands 2 (from the handsome collection) and bought it for the kids xboxs so they could play with me when Anthem proved to be a complete flop. Love the series!

 

[navamind]

looks so much smoother and fluid. I'm stoked

SportsHoopla BLANDS 3 party!?

So apparently this was announced at E3, but The Handsome Collection is free on PSN and XBONE with a PSN or Gold subscription.

I'm definitely liking Borderlands 3. Its a sequel for people who like Borderlands.

There is a lot of exaggeration online about frame rate issues, menu lag, etc. The game does have some issues but its definitely getting review bombed.

Haven't seen any reviews and I've only got about 6 hours of play time into it but it's getting me off just fine.

 

[Stakesarehigh]

Seemed much of the same which isn't a bad thing

 

[Sgt Brutus]

Yeah it’s been fun so far. Weakest part for me is just the four characters

 

[NU_FTW]

Ive gotten a little bored with it, i do only have the 1 maxed out toon but meh

 

[Sparhawk]

Looks like they have nerfed FL4K quite a bit, but I like running Moze with the Demo tree and splash damage.
