A GREAT shooter buried beneath miles upon miles of shady as ♥♥♥♥ business practices and selfish deciisons. How people on this page can recommend this game is beyond me: even as a free game, it is desperately short and repetitive. 50 hours in I had already seen all the weapons this game has to offer: there exist around 3 models of weapon per weapon type. I sure hope you like 3 legendary assault rifles because you will be seeing them OVER AND OVER again, regardless of your current playliist. Any attempt at worldbuildng is thrown ouut the window as soon as the game starts: a LITERAL retread of D1. Your only sense of progression in thiis game will come out of higher numbers, and these hgher numbers come FROM THE SAME MISSIONS AND BOUNTIES over and oover and over again. This is not even mentioning the heinouus ♥♥♥♥ bungie has been on to even if theyre "now free of the evil arm of activison guise!" if you paid for the DLC you cant even access 90% of the content you ALREADY PAID FOR because a ♥♥♥♥ ton of content has been "vaulted", whiich means its basically gone. Tons of weapons have been deemed totally useless and wholly removed from the game. IF you're a new light lke me, youve basically miissed out on more than half the content you paid for. This impacts everything from armor to weapons to marks: the ONE LOOT CLASS wiith variety and more iinstances than 3 is exotics, and those are nigh-unobtainable without paying. If you dont have a season pass you cant even ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ kill the champion enemies the game throws at you in troves iin higher levels. If you dont have a season pass you barely get exotiics and gear upgrades. The new classes are ridiculously overpowered in PVE and PVP. Hope you like paying! Oh, and by the way, the BAREBONES amount of armor that currently exists is mostly repaiinted... crucible, gambit and vanguard sets all shate THE SAME MODEL with slght variiations. Thiis coming from a game that has earned enough money to survive 4 years in.
This... game iis a looter-shooter without loot. It's a story-oriented experience (according to the page) which actively deletes its story and dlc... its a shooter empphasising variety and play your own way with ♥♥♥♥ ALL player skill customization and enemy variety... want to customize your character? Better head to the eververse! Better pay for the season pass!! This ♥♥♥♥ includes ONE shader pac (whiich by the way, is single use!) and ONE set of decorations (SINGLE. USE.). IIf you want to enjoy from a wealthy amount of customziation you HAVE TO PAY MORE MONEY! The liight mote section of Eververse (The free part) is made up of around 10 iitems, cyclng each week, while the paid (silver) section offers a ridiiculous amount of shaders and decoratiions.
This game is in shambles. It is a disappointment and I can't believe I let myself pay for it. It's so fun but once the high starts waning you start to see this game for what it is: a despicable attempt at generating as much money as humanly possible with little interest for artiistiic iintegriity. If you can sincerely get behind that, go ahead and pay for it.
Ever since I jumped into this mess, iive only seen the eververse get the content players are so desperately starved for. You run through the same hoops OVER AND OVER AGAIN and at most you get your 1000th False Promise.
When I bought Borderlands 3, an event was going on that quite literally gave away Legendaries lie hot cakes. I still have a ridiculous stash of them hidden away, and after around 100 hours I still find weapons and weapon types i had NEVER SEEN BEFORE.
TL;DR Just buy borderlands 3
A disappointment in all its forms
