Some of it feels like the writers were trying too hard and other times it just wasn’t funny due to the lack of actual humor. A lot of it is funny and almost as much of it fails to stick.
#Borderlands 3 review series#
Wacky and crazy humor put the Borderlands series on the map and number three is no different. Which is said to hold more danger and more riches than any of the other vault’s you have visited and will visit. Our heroes must beat these new antagonists to what’s known as the Great Vault. Imagine the worst video game streamer with socio-economic power, political influence, and an army at their backs. This doesn’t prevent them from trolling the ever-loving crap out of our Vault Hunters though. They’re brutal, uncaring, and unflinchingly effective. Troy and Tyreen might not be another Handsome Jack, but players will find plenty of reasons to want to kick their faces in. This also signals the meteoric rise of the Calypso twins and their Bandit filled group, Cult of the Vault. The merry band of righteous psychopaths have found different purposes throughout the galaxy and leaves room for some new Vault Hunters. The story of Borderlands 3 follows a smaller band of Crimson Raiders, definitively lead by Lillith, five or so years after the second game. Sometimes it felt like the writers were just throwing things at the wall and seeing what sticks. Fans of the franchise will enjoy what’s on offer except the periodic scatter shot humor.

Join me in breathing a huge sigh of relief as I can say Borderlands 3 brings back mostly happy times of what made the series great. All these controversies could easily have affected all aspects of development and not even including morale. Especially with the weird pre-release review process that was implemented. My main concern was how this would affect Borderlands 3 and my enjoyment of it. Almost to the extent that Fallout 76 experienced after it released and most of Gearbox’s woes were thanks to dough face, man baby, Randy Pitchford. There was an unfortunate amount of controversy leading up to Borderlands 3’s launch.
