BL series is a staple for me on Steam since the very first one at launch. tl;dr I like BL (the main ones and the Tell Tale game) a lot. That being said I enjoy this game way more than I should despite the following major cons;

1. Having to wait 6 months for that stupid Epic Games Store sellout exclusive crap. I just won't buy the game til its on a platform I have more use for.

2. The game is unoptimized mess overall. There's a reason why both Nvidia and AMD have used BL3's benchmark as proof of their newest GPU's raw horsepower cause you basically need that to run the game as smooth as BL 1 and 2 did even on budget hardware at their launches.

I run an i7-7800X, RTX 2080 Super, 32 GB DDR4 2133 OC'd to 2400, and a Samsung 970 Pro MVNE M.2 SSD and yet I'm stoked when I can maintain 70+ FPS at 1440p. That's not good you guys!

3. Also lets be real here the story and settings and writing are severely lacking compared to the unforgettable first two games. While not objectively awful they are a PALE comparison to what came before.

All of this being said the "Good" is "It's still Borderlands" and if you've been a fan for a short time or since the OG came out that just might save this game to you. 50/50 for eveyone else.
