Borderlands 3 |OT| The Three-Sequel!!
- Thread starter vestan
- Start date
Ive had the theme downloaded and installed for a week. Unless there's another theme?
Going to my Xbox, Attempting now. This usually doesn't work. You have to buy it from the nz store
Also having it installed etc. but as soon as I want to activate it, I'm seeing the countdown until the game launches, just like when I start the game
That must be a bug. Before you were able to preload the game and see a countdown, the theme was freely available to install.
I feel like they put more care into the characters since they have a lot of voices lines now and a personality. Do you think in expansions they would release new classes or maybe just add new skill trees to each class. I think added a new skill tree to each class would be pretty cool. Even expanding on the trees too.
that's weird. also redownloaded and restarted the ps4, without any luck. guess I will have to wait until midnight for this too :D
I'm guessing Sony tied the countdown to all BL3 content, not taking into account that the theme falls under that category.
God I have been agonizing over which character to pick, every time I think I got it narrowed down I change my damn mind again. I know I'll have fun with any of them but that doesn't make this decision any harder. lol
It works! Switching to NZ on Xbox I'm now in the main menu. Too bad none of my co op partners are around. Now I can stare at the main menu lol
I haven't played any BL game, should I get 3 or the handsome collection?
Are the games worth it for solo and story? I've heard the characters are good.

Mess around on one class you weren't going to play with your partners. You get action skill access at level 2 now so you can toy around.
Those are tricky questions.
I've primarily played my first playthroughs of the games solo, and I've really enjoyed the experiences. They're engaging enough, and although the side missions in the earlier games could get a bit "collect five bear asses"-y, I still found myself trying to complete everything. The games can be remarkably chill when you're just puttering around. From a gameplay perspective you're probably good to jump in with 3, especially because it seems to be a bit more mechanically up-to-date.
Story-wise, I'd probably recommend playing the previous games. Borderlands seems to be very additive, with each new game building up and fleshing out the playable characters from the previous games. A lot of the moments in Borderlands 2 wouldn't have had the same punch if I hadn't played Borderlands 1, for example. If you don't have that connection with the story so far, and the characters, the game will probably just come off as a series of crude jokes.
So, long story short, if you have the time, are okay with some less-refined gameplay, and are invested in the story, I'd say play 'em from the beginning.
I just did. I'm in New Zealand right now, just not physically.
Just for the regular edition? Sweet, maybe his has arrived now too :D
Thanks for the answer. I will try to get a PS3 copy of BL1 then, I'm in no hurry to catch up 3.
Edit, actually it's digitally available on PSN, one more to the backlog then...
Preload done in like 6 minutes. But it is still over 6 hours left until unlock in my timezone...
There's lots of story recaps available on YouTube. Find one that includes all the games including Tales from the Borderlands from Telltale because a few of those characters are NPC's in 3.
I'd start with the 3rd one at this point. The older games will feel old in shooting mechanics, last gen graphics, movement mechanics, etc.
Haha I don't mind somejankiness since I still play my PS3 regularly.
Like quest switching using the dpad, teleporting to your vehicle from anywhere, selling all junk, just basic things that used to feel a little tedious in BL2 that thankfully doesn't here. I mean thank god for auto ammo collect from boxes.
I dunno about the regular PS4 but resolution mode on the pro had alot of stuttering even when nothing was going on. Thankfully framerate mode ran great. And tbh I didn't really see much of a difference in both modes except for the framerate running much better.
I'd pick up the hd remake of 1 if you are going to play that. The added map seemed like it would've been a God send. Still if you picked up the PS3 version already no big deal. I beat bl1 earlier this year with my wife on a 360 and then just beat 2 on PS4 with the handsome collection.
Yeah I noticed there's a ps4 version before proceeding to checkout.
The minimap isn't that big of a deal honestly, the original still had the compass so it's not like you were flying blind. The only issues are the scavenger quests and those are garbage even with the minimap because the location markers are off.
The much bigger change is the 60fps and 1080p.
Maybe I'm weird but I just started a BL1 play through, play BL2 and PS once or twice a year, etc and don't think of them as outdated.
BL1 just is harsher with weapon accuracy stats, but as a sniper / shotgun player I am wither using a high accuracy weapon or a close quarters scatter weapon so I don't notice as much.

BL1 has a really really harsh ng+ that's worse than BL2's UVHM. Unless you're Lilith in which case the entire game is a breeze.
Early game so not the best representation but this is on the ps4 pro
Yeah I'm not really an "endgame" kinda player.
I start characters play for as long as it's fun and quit, rinse repeat next time I pick the game up.
Doesn't work for me, only have a black screen when I klick it.
