Looking for something a little crazier? Okay, how about rifles that spawn fire-spewing volcanoes, or guns that grow legs and then chase down enemies while verbally abusing them? We’ve got those too. All of us at Gearbox are excited for you to get your hands on these weapons and bazillions more like them come September, when you’ll get to take the fight to the Calypso Twins not only on Pandora but on other planets throughout the Borderlands as well.

SWEET.

So in. Loved the first, enjoyed the second.

The Pre-Sequel didn't really grab me, but BL1 and 2 were tons o' fun. Will definitely check this out once it is cheap.

Same here, the Pre-Sequel (the one with handsome Jack and Tiny Tina or whatever right?) seemed like it tried a bit too hard to be random and funny but I enjoyed the first two. I did see that they're exploring cross console play so that would be pretty cool if they can get Sony to finally give in on that. I'll probably wait until after CFB seasons over to pick it up

Loooved BL1, really enjoyed BL2 despite not finishing it.

Didn’t play the presequel

Looking forward to BL3

I'm so in, the Borderlands series has had some of the best coop gameplay to date.

Only played BL2, finished it and loved it. Have not went back to play BL1 yet. Is the controls setup pretty similar to BL2? I was able to play BL2 on my laptop without a controller. Took forever to do it that way but got pretty good by the end.

[MillerEP 30455]

Yep, controls should be the same. There's a Pre-Sequel out there too, which actually came out after BL2.

Thanks man. I just recently finished playing Borderlands GOTY for PS4 and was looking to pick up the Handsome Collection at some point. Last played Borderlands 2 probably 5 years ago give or take and never actually got around to playing the Pre-Sequel.

Downloaded last night and it looks great on PS4.

New Free Borderlands 2 DLC dropped today to setup the Borderlands 3 story:

I have been reading about the new level released and thought about downloading it. So much of what made the games so appealing in the first installments has been picked up by other developers. The shooting with a little customization, the skill tree that doesn't really change the game, the loot and the feedback loop of basically whack-a-mole enemies that just go down whatever your skill or character level is.

Anyway, I remember an extra game mode at the end of BL2 where they switched up the learning curve or gameplay loop and made all the enemies the same health and level as your character and their health and shields would recharge fast. It made every little group of enemies into a tactical chess match where you had to take down one guy at a time. I just thought it was funny for a few minutes.

Out tomorrow. Good reviews so far. 85 on Metacritic. Sounds like they didn't really tinker with the formula much beyond higher res graphics and improved controls.

First batch of gameplay videos I've seen look promising.

Any updates?  Really looking forward to playing this if/ when I can find the time.

^^^^^

I decided to go ahead and buy it on Friday since I didn't have anything to play at the moment.

It's a Borderlands game. Better looking than the previous versions, and they really improved the way the gunplay feels, but otherwise you know what you're getting into.

I've been playing it non-stop since release. Like you said, it's more of the same (which is GREAT) with some good quality of life improvements, like auto-looting, the missed loot box, and fast traveling to vehicles. New scenery, new characters, same humor. What's not to love?
