Yesterday, there was a lot of information about Borderlands 3. But how are the players reacting? We have gathered some reactions and opinions.
After yesterday’s (May 1, 2019) big gameplay reveal of Borderlands 3, most players have already formed an opinion about the new loot shooter from Gearbox. We want to illustrate how the community is reacting based on some opinions from potential gamers.
In general, the gameplay event can be considered a complete success. On social media like Reddit, fans are excited about what they saw and have mostly given positive comments and opinions. Criticism is only found in exceptional cases, and for every negative comment, there are ten positive ones.
There are already some memes from fans who can hardly wait any longer. The fact that they still have about 5 months to wait until the release is almost driving them to despair.
Some seem to even forgive the publisher for Borderlands 3 initially being exclusive to the Epic Games Store. For example, Holyhort said: “The developers have created a masterpiece.” He doesn’t care that the game is only coming out in the Epic Store and will still buy it after the presentation.
Have you seen the 7 things that make Borderlands 3 better than its predecessor?
Here on MeinMMO, there were also many comments about Borderlands. For instance, Sentcore said:
At first, I thought the €250 for the Diamond Chest Edition (PS4) might be too “premature” (no sooner than an hour later were they gone :D)
After seeing the gameplay from Leya and the guy from Gamestar, it was clear:
IT WAS NOT A BAD PURCHASE!!!
HYPETRAIN INCOMING!!!
LOOOOOOOOOOOT!!!
However, some people don’t like the general look of the Borderlands series. The comic-style cel-shading graphics or the often very dark humor is not for everyone. JimmeyDean writes:
First Person AND cel-shading are two criteria that I could overlook on their own… but the combination of both leads to the conclusion that, in the end, it’s not for me.
The basic interest in Borderlands 3 was gigantic. This even led to Borderlands 3 temporarily becoming the most popular game on Twitch, overtaking Fortnite and League of Legends.
Cortyn states: I can only join the many positive opinions. To me, Borderlands 3 looks at first glance like a pretty hefty DLC for Borderlands 2. The style has been maintained as well as most features.
Only minor things have been improved or adjusted – at least that’s my impression. But that’s not a big deal, since the predecessor Borderlands 2 was already almost the perfect game. I actually didn’t want to pre-order games anymore. A resolution that I will break for Borderlands 3.
What is your opinion on Borderlands 3? Did you enjoy the livestreams? What is your impression of the game so far? Has the gameplay convinced you or are you skeptical?
