Because the previous ones were great and this one has glowing critics reviews. For me though, the system requirements are too high, so I’ll buy and play it sometime after a PC upgrade.
I’m going to have to try to remember that everyone has different taste… But good God I can’t be the only one who despised the dialog and “so randumb holds up spork!?11!” type humor in BL2?
It seems like everyone else loves it. I just found it incredibly grating.
BL3 was just as much (if not more) of a mess - people shouldn’t be surprised, especially with Randy telling people they should be selling their souls to have the privilege of playing this game.
I played through BL3 on a 2016 PC and it was OK. Not perfect, but perfectly playable. Looking at that PC Gamer article, I don’t even understand the complaint of being unable to run the game at 120 FPS. Seems like an unreasonably high bar. I’d take 60.
If you asked me to recall the story of any of the games, I’d not be able to. I don’t think people play the games for the story. It’s just a fun looter shooter, especially in co-op, which is how I played BL3 around its Epic launch. Revisiting my technical review of the game from then, yeah, you’re right, and I documented various reports of issues, though there were quick fixes deployed or workarounds available for the biggest issues. That seems commonplace in the industry though.
I mostly agree. I’d say they went uphill though, but so did every other game, but even faster. Each game improved some things, but the competition improved much more. They’ve been coasting off of name recognition ever since the first game.
Same as games like the Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk, fans playing it in release year vs 2025 are gonna have completely different experiences. And BL 3 release was also messy, albeit not as bad as this. I was there.
Why buy this absolute disaster of a game?
Because it’s fun and it’s the only game series me and my dad still play together.

I’m not big on comedy in general, let alone when it has toilet references, so those parts were hit or miss.

Its initial launch on Epic was a mess for multiplayer, and there was plenty of documented issues for PC.
The story was probably also a sign to come for the movie that would release after…

The game is running at less than 40fps, they’re using the 3X Frame Gen mode
Granted, that’s at 4K and seems to alse be with most of the settings cranked to “Badass”
Great? The first one was OK. Then it kinda went down hill from there.

My favorite is BL3. It made shooting feel less like cardboard compared to most games and had a great cast of characters.
But when did you play it? Release BL3 and updated/optimized BL3 are two completely different beasts(Reddit link warning).
