I just found Borderlands 3 for less than 20 bucks on Steam and it's currently downloading.

I played BL2 and I loved it. Anyone played BL3? Any advice or suggestions?

Played it when i came out and havent played since. Most legendries are farmable very easily. Story isnt the best if u need builds YT Joltzdude does BL playthoughs and u can just copy his. You missed the sucky part where no loot had a specific boss to farm for the drop so we farmed a easy boss that i wont spoil. 7.3/10

Played it on release. There's not much to say, it's more Borderlands. The only reason I got it was to use Iron Bear because not enough FPS games have a mech you can pilot. Fun enough for a playthrough, for 20 bucks it's worth.

Cool, thanks guys, good info. I'll take "more Borderlands" as a good thing. :p


Thanks for that, been waiting for it to come down to a reasonable price for a year old game. Also, yeah, fuck Randy Pitchford.

I'm so over paying ~$60 for a videogame, no matter how good it is. "Pay smarter, not harder" is my motto.

Totally same, i outright refuse buying a new game in its first month these days, everything that comes out has pretty significant bugs if it's from a 'AAA' studio.
I remember buying a $60 videogame a few years ago - some space exploration thing, I forget the name or the company - that wouldn't launch. It just did not work. The devs released a patch but it was one you had to manually install yourself by replacing about 6 HUGE lines of code in like 3 different folders, all buried under about 8 or 9 subfolders. You needed some decent coding experience in order to get it to work. I couldn't figure it out, went onto the company's forums to bitch about paying for an incomplete game (and it turns out that it was indeed incomplete, not just a bit buggy), got told to "suck it up, buttercup, follow the directions on the patch notes", I said "I don't even know where to begin, the notes are just so much gibberish to me", and they shrugged. In the end, I had to threaten the company with filing a fraud claim with my bank if they didn't refund my money.

Never like Borderlands, just a 3d Diablo.
That's exactly the reason so many people like it. The majority of gamers prefer fps combat to the click-fest that is Diablo, Torchlight, League, Dota, etc... I could never get into any of those games.
Besides Witcher 1. But that was for the story.

That's not the reason why I dislike the Diablo formula, I just don't like playing a fake RPG where the only form of progression is just a numbers game. Its that crap that spawned into the future p2w live-service games and loot crates like destiny or anthem.
