I'm not going to talk about the story because millions of people already talked about it and yea, it is pretty ♥♥♥♥ and villains are trying to be Tiktok Handsome Jack.

Gameplay wise It's great. Maybe even better than 2. Shooting is great, weapon identities are great, using a gun for hours and being satisfied with your gun only to find an even better gun is great. I like the talent trees being more active ie. picking and choosing active skills and modifying them instead of dozens of passive skills. Borderlands 2 had very fun skill trees and classes but 3 made them even better.

The map is horrible. It may even be considered a crime against humanity in some countries.

Loot wise, new anointed weapons are great and enhance your gameplay if you enjoy using skills a lot. I don't like that they didn't add more loot qualities like they did in 2 like Cursed, Pearlascent etc. but the amount of loot and builds you can have is still satisfying.

Story is ♥♥♥♥ but at least quests are somewhat less memey. Worst part of 2 was EVERY SINGLE SIDE QUEST was a reference to a meme or it was a LOL RANDUMB xD moment. 3 still have quests like that but it's overall better than 2.

Even with all the negatives, positives are too much fun for me so I can easily ignore or even forget the negatives.

On one hand I'm hyped for 4, I hope they look back at 2 and 3, think about what they have done, and make a great comeback that surpasses the trilogy combined but on the other, I know 2K and Gearbox will ♥♥♥♥ it up somehow by adding some skibidi toilet quest and making the villain a "quirky" alien that likes to eat tide pods.

I wish developers the best as they try to make a good game despite Randy Pitchford and 2K.
