Wow this boots up so much quicker on Xbox series X. The really long claptrap loading screen is only there for a few seconds.

How does play in single player? Is the base game as good as 2? Is there cross play or any mention of that coming down the line?

In a word NO unfortunately despite the fact that BL3 is vastly superior mechanically.

I adore the first and second parts, but my PC can't run the third one and I hope soon I will upgrade it and I'll try the last part of Borderlands!

About to pull the trigger on the season pass, €30 on Xbox. Worth it?

The 4 new chapters look good.

Had finished base game last year and put it aside. Installed upgraded version on Series X and been playing all weekend.

Are you talking about last years 4 DLC if so yes they are worth it.

The season 1 dlc pack with the four campaign chapters are pretty good. Doesn't have that killer dlc like Assault on Dragons Keep or Claptastic Voyage, but theyre still pretty decent for that price.

The season 2 dlc doesn't really appeal to me at all. Doesn't seem that great.

Birneybau · 24-01-2021 11:40pm

Thanks folks. Yeah, Season 1.

Playing tru this again with the DLC to play.

Amara isnt as good as Flak imo, unless I unlock some better skills.

gimli2112 · 25-01-2021 3:47pm

I played both and found Amara much stronger. Flack does more damage but Amara is basically unkillable. Although I did pour a lot more time into Amara.

Agree with this - Out of the four characters I found Amara to be the strongest. Built in the right way she basically becomes invincible, has fantastic crowd control and dishes out stupid damage if you spec into the elemental buffs.

Similarly though, I didn't put anywhere near as much time into any of the other characters so may be the case that I'd think differently with more time invested.

wotzgoingon · 27-01-2021 4:59pm

I chose Fl4k and all I know is my pet saved my ass 1000's of times.

dreamers75 · 27-01-2021 10:54pm

Either you are all right and Amara is stronger or the game is easier this year.

Normal difficulty and just completed the last 3 missions without breaking a sweat.

I played through a good bit of this (I think) on the Pro before I got the 5. The feckacting with the saves put me off for a while, but I eventually went to the bother of downloading it on the 4 and 5 and doing that. Played maybe an hour of if since. It just isn't calling me back, and if I do play it, I get bored verrrry quickly. Maybe it's the story part I'm on, maybe it gets better? I'm about an hour after the mission where you've to go to some gun makers mansion/area and unlock something. Can't even remember. Saying that, I still don't have the final perk, the one you use crystals or something for. So maybe I'm not that far in...

I enjoyed that area. Every where was lush vegetation in that part of the game world. And going through the mansions was fun also.

Full list of changes for today https://borderlands.com/en-US/news/2021-04-08-borderlands-3-update-hotfixes-apr-8/

Some interesting stuff there had I the will to play the game much more like being able to reroll anointments. I just can't see myself investing much more into it at this point other than getting the new content done and dusted.

8pm our time I think for the content and updates to be live.

wotzgoingon · 08-04-2021 5:14pm

I wish they would bring out new DLC like the first season.

Seems to be out now according to reddit

Can't see myself returning to it. Haven't bothered with any of the Season 2 DLC, and none of the Director's Cut stuff really appeals to me. It's a few side missions from Ava, a raid boss, and the Vault Cards, which isn't really content bar a few new skins/gear. The rest is the behind the scenes artwork stuff which shouldn't be included as worthy of being paid content.

Saw Randy Pitchford tweeting a bunch of times about how the Vault Cards aren't microtransactions, and there are no microtransactions in the game, and never will be microtransactions in the game. Which basically means the Vault cards going forward will probably be paid content which will be as close as they can get to microtransactions without actually being microtransactions.

Oh my god they even just reused an idea from the last game for the raid boss.

It's a varkid that you need to level up before you fight it and when you do an only slightly smaller one spawns with it

:mad:

I see Borderlands 3 is now on special for black Friday on Xbox.

Standard edition is €17.50

Super Deluxe edition is €32.

Worth a punt at this price now?

Is the deluxe edition worth double the price?

If the dearer one comes with the DLC's then yes it is worth the extra.

21-11-2021 3:49pm

It has the 4 main DLC but I don't think it has the second season pass with the director's cut. That second set of DLC was an absolute rip off.

brady12 · 12-01-2022 11:54pm

i loved 2 . must have played it for a 100 hours with my best friend . he doesn't game any more so left this until now to play . it's a lot more fun then the review scores it got . i'm about a third way through main story and it's a great silly fun. i nice alternative to demon souls which im also playing at the moment .

The season 1 DLC's a re worth playing also. More of the same as the main game but different locations.
