This game was bad in both writing and gameplay just boring. 100% the game and still nothing to do and nothing to be excited about. The liberal gender bs is annoying and the ugly character creation and characters are hard to ignore. I honestly can’t believe that I wasted money doing the $80 pre-order I have extreme buyers remorse over this…

@@KingNOOB-kj7vz I strongly disagree with you. There is so much to find and achieve in this game, like the lucky dice and poetry pages.

[@Simply_Pip]

No offense k6 but your insane if you think the chaos thing is better then bl3's mayhem modes. It's easily like 8+ hours to hit chaos 50 if you complete each run in 10 minutes or more, not including farming gear to deal with the scaling and breaks/sleeping irl Edit: im sorry for being rude k6 Also, I quickly just loaded up the game and realized it's chaos 100 now not 50... so now it's 16+ hours if you complete each run in 10+ minutes...

I guess we'll see just how much of an issue it is when the game goes out. I kind of like the idea of getting named enemies to spawn specifically in Chaos Chambers, since that is supposed to be the "endgame" from the sounds of it, and that is where a lot of farming happens.

Overall it looks like a blast though. Counting down!

[@canontheory]

@@ThePolarpop well the hybrid guns from BL1 were really cool and difficult to get as well as the legendary eridian guns, BL1 pearlescents which BL2 had pearls too but were pretty easy to get compared to BL1 but it had all the other cool rarity’s like seraphs, and effervescents to farm at endgame, BL2 Type raid bosses with like 1-2 in each dlc, cult of the vault symbols in BL2 and presequel which a lot of them are really well hidden so it gave alot of incentive to fully explore every nook and cranny in every level, the unique guns from BL1 being farmable at different rarity’s from bosses, BL2 had extremely rare heads and skins that were dedicated drops from certain bosses like terramorphus, verminous, henry, Son of mothrak, etc, the challenges in BL2 and Pre sequel being unique to every level like hit a secret switch or jump on every couch opposed to BL3 challenges which were moxy tower, claptrap spare parts and typhoon logs in every single level. And Although not a gameplay level the story in 3 wasn’t as good and the humor feel flat at times but it had its good moments which if I’m being honest I really like BL3 in general but i feel like there’s too much that was changed or removed from the previous games for it to realize it’s full potential but I still really enjoy playing it when I have the chance cause it’s fun.

[@BertLensch]

I've found Wonderlands to be amazing, but also have a major gripe. I have found that while playing split screen on a 4K TV with my wife, opening your inventory and looking at items does not display any details about the item (especially wards, rings, armors) like it does with weapons. Frustrating to have to wait for some solo play time or a vending machine to see if an item you just looted is better than the one equipped. I know it's just a QoL improvement that needs to be made.

[@paulinaocchino]

I’ve had this issue with split screen too! If you click in on R3 you can see the details of the item, but it’s super flawed because once you exit that view, it takes you back to the top of your inventory. Still, it’s an option if you’re really curious about an item while playing split screen!

Is farmable bosses really a staple of the series? I thought the staple was launching without farmable bosses/dedicated loot pools and adding them in due to community pressure. I really get the impression they want to move away from that grinding gameplay loop but it doesn't seem they've actually gone to the effort of making a substantial alternative

[@MikkiZHskDK]

borderlands 1 was mostly about chest runs and mabye a few boss runs, but mostly it was about the chest runs for loot, and it later changed into farmable bosses that also made it fun to see how fast you could nuke a specific boss with your new weapon

Borderlands 2 almost EVERY SINGLE named enemy respawned and had a dedicated drop.

[@choppednskrewed1able]

Farming Crawmweraxx in Borderlands 1 was a lot of fun with friends and with no re-spawns what's to do for endgame??? It seems like Gearbox is shifting focus to replays rather than re-spawning the named enemies. I don't mind replaying but we should have the option for a new game plus with tougher versions of the enemies from the original playthroughs.

@@bungifish2227 im also worried about that since they havent bothered to fix up split screen for bl3 yet and its about as laggy as ever. not being able to open up your inventory during a fight without lagging the whole game for your couch friend is not ideal :(

[@bungifish2227]

@@sarasmedberg8203 exactly, kinda annoying how no reviewers are talking about split screen for this game. I heard on PS5 it can do 4 player split screen, but on PS4 it can only do 2 player split screen. But if it's anything like BL3 then I'll be disappointed.

[@sherry356]

This is an excellent review compared to other KZbinrs who aren't as invested in this franchise. It's exactly what I expected i.e. not BL4 but an extension of BL3 same engine and gameplay but a new skin and story. I've gone ahead and purchased it. I agree with you on some of the criticisms and I think Gearbox will be watching these reviews and taking feedback for future game updates, bugs, hot fixes etc. so we should be fine. Thank you! :)

[@PC_Magikman]

Well now I'm even more excited for this game. Glad to see that the game has an actually good story with decent characters as well as having good performance.

So far I've seen 2 reviews and the most important thing to me is that it looks like they nailed the combat balancing on day 1.

[@Banshee704]

Can't wait, I personally couldn't even care about major flaws, it's a borderlands game and that's enough for me! I genuinely love that it's still 100% Borderlands to the core, only with additions I've wanted to be in the game since I played the first game. Spells, multiclassing, character creator and that "Roguelike" endgame truly sounds like an amazing thing to be added to this series! :)

[@armyofninjas9055]

Honestly, a roguelite endgame and no dedicated drops sound awful to me. And I've loved BL since the launch of 1.

[@Banshee704]

@@armyofninjas9055 I 100% get that, personally I've just always preferred running through groups of enemies and doing something over farming a certain enemy over and over. It's why I was initially excited by the Trials idea from BL3, but that grew old immediately as it was literally the same run all the time. But like I said, I do understand most people prefer certain dedicated drops.

So all the stuff we hated from the pre-sequel and BL3 is back. I can understand people being able to have fun with the game, but Gearbox clearly hasn't learned anything about their fans. It's honestly sad that - again - I'll have to wait for them to add features that were in previous games for me to be able to fully enjoy the experience.

[@bluzeman1975]

Great vid and great review. Old school, and i mean OLD school gamer here ( I had an original Pong machine and mowed enough yards to buy an Atari 1600 not TOO long after it was released when I was a kid. ). Found your vid.s a few weeks ago when I finally picked up BL2, then 3 and now Tina's. Played through BL2 and 3 on at least 2 toon classes each and very near 100% ish.... still a few raid bosses that i didnt' bother with... Not sure what to think about Tina's Wonderlands yet. I'm hoping there's a more active online crowd for Tina's than for BL2 or 3. Maybe one of you popular streamers could talk about that sometime and maybe even promote a good active Discord for a solidliy active borderlands community. Cause I've looked and for the couple of websites I've found for "online active players' reporting over 1 million, it's hard to find a central community

[@Ki11ersix]

[@matchapaws7336]

I never really liked the old way of grinding out loot by hunting down and killing named bosses- a lot of the travel time was annoying and you were never guaranteed the type of drop you wanted, plus it's just the exact same fight over and over and over. The Chaos Chamber at least for me personally seems like a MUCH better way of going about grinding for endgame loot c:

[@XboxBestBox]

Me either and after a few drops I would just get bored. Chaos dungeon sounds amazing can't wait to spend hours in there. I do think there should be an option for ppl who would rather farm the same enemy. Options are always a good thing.

[@scxnlines]

I get that, but I wanna be able to farm what will be a guaranteed chance at a specific item, Chaos chamber spawn a bunch of different bosses, so it'll be a less consistent farm sadly. If they let you customize which bosses/enemies/map you do after c20 that would be amazing. It seems like they put the takedowns from bl3 and put them up to 10, I can't wait.

[@matchapaws7336]

@@scxnlines that's fair! They do allow you to choose what type you're going for, but the weapon itself will be harder if you're looking for something specific

[@tackyoptic]

This was such a refreshing addition to the BL franchise... you could tell that they had a lot more passion making Wonderlands than BL3. There was such a great charm and vibe in this that just wasn't in it's predecessor.

[@lutherheggs451]

Alot more passion? LOL.....There is no universe where this was a $60-$70 game. This should have been a $40-50 game tops and LMFAO at the $30 season pass...Its short as hell, while the IDEA of the Chaos chambers is good on paper. Yeah NO....By the time you get to the chaos chambers you've done them 1500 times as its nothing more than longer versions of shrine piece encounters and the random encounters... Its not terrible, but it sure as hell isn't worth a full price game with a $30 season pass.....You can't even farm the boss fights since only 1 of them even respawns if you return to the boss area.

Thanks for the wonderful review!

[@renni9813]

I think they totally misunderstood the issue with anointments. In my opinion the anointment/enchantment shouldn't be something that modifies the damage of the gun, it should be something that totally changes your playstyle with the gun, or how you use it, kind of like the manufacturer aspects (atlas tracking, jacobs headshots etc)

[@justasalamander2621]

I disagree. I love how it modifies the gun and before i get crucified, that grind for a god roll That constant "am i gonna get it??" Makes up alot of looter shooters. Look at how excited killer6 was when he got a 94% sham You wanna improve annointments? Have less of them. Nobody cares about "next mag will have 50% corrosion damage" Like maybe only have 10-15 annointments

The non-respawning enemies is a serious head scratcher. I’ve come to expect that to be a staple for the Borderlands series, so I’m completely bewildered when they don’t include it.
