Or they simply just thoughtlessly regurgitate corporate-owned, anti-consumer gaming "journalist" talking points that take like 5 trolls off of Twitter, and use that as "proof" that people who don't like the game "just don't like women", to try and deflect any valid criticism of the game.
Borderlands 2 was my favorite game of all time, before destiny 2 came out, it was my most played game of all time (and I only played destiny to scratch the borderlands itch), I bought and loved bl1 on launch day as well. Pre sequel was pretty bad in the beginning and had pacing issues with the zero g stuff that slowed the beginning of the game to a crawl, but mid way through started improving a lot, and the claptrap matrix dlc (don't remember the title) was really good.
I pre ordered the 100 dollar digital edition of borderlands 3: I haven't even finished a single playthrough. The story and writing are awful and the jokes are just bad. It's like a poor caricature of the tone of bl2. The game has crashes for me regularly on ps4 pro (worst offender when it crashed at a boss fight that I had to waste time making my way back to just to redo).
As mentioned by other posters, weapons and even sometimes classes are nerfed regularly. I could have powered through the game I even with the terrible story and wokeness (two separate issues by the way, I don't only hate the story because it's woke, I hate it because it is just bad, unfunny and cringeworthy, I mean the main villains are friggin twitch casters ffs), but when they're constantly "balancing" (really this just means nerfing) my favorite weapons and abilities IN A SINGLE PLAYER/CO-OP GAME (no competitive aspect to this, let those who want to mow through enemies easily with their hard earned/grinded weapons enjoy themselves), I just gave up.
I've tried a few times to come back and finish it, since I feel like I need to at least beat it to justify the 100 bucks I spent on it, but I really can't. There's a good game underneath, I really like the combat, the graphics are good, the weapons seem really inventive and ridiculous fun, it's just MASSIVELY hampered by the inexcusably poor story, the constant nerfs which makes weapon hunting pointless, and for me the numerous crashes(I haven't checked if this is widespread or not). If I ever get a ps5, I'll probably force myself to finish it (framerates on ps4 pro are also bad me, even performance mode), but this is a FAR cry from bl2, where I beat the game twice or more with every character (even the dlc ones).
Saying, or implying things like "the people who don't like this are just mostly comprised of people who don't like women in games" is absolutely deceptive and ridiculous. I don't doubt there's a handful of people like that, as there's always going to be people on any side of any issue, but those people make up less than a quarter of a percent of people complaining about bl3. Nobody (and when I say nobody, I mean nobody other than this extremely small portion I just mentioned) are complaining about bl3 being worse for "having women in it" (as I explained above with bl2, this is just such a clear and utter bs excuse), unless your narrow viewpoint believes people who are anti-woke are the same thing as anti-women/diversity (they're not btw).
And also, a lot of people also just didn't like the epic exclusivity deal which kept bl3 from pc gamers who didn't want to install yet another launcher on their system (there was also privacy concerns whether the telemetry systems built into epic were shady and unnecessary, couple that with epic being in business with tencent, they were legitimate concerns)
This game, while not bad, was just a massive disappointment of people's expectations of what a borderlands game should be, expectations built from the amazing Borderlands 2.

unless they allow a larger FOV setting this time around (I think it was capped at 65 in the first game?)
I like BL1 because it is more balanced in terms of gear.
BL3 has the best interface and graphics and getting around and doing quests are all polished, but in terms of replay-ability nothing beat BL2. It has the best story, it has the best humor and the best characters.
Oh, also, BL3 is missing Scooter. Enough said.
thanks

You can get to mayhem 10 level fast. Just spawn in sanctuary on mayhem 10 and buy some weapons from the vending machine. Then off to farm a few weapons and you are on your way to being competitive in mayhem 10.
It's "ok". The characters are rather boring, the main bad characters are annoying and the story is mediocre. There are things I like about the game but it certainly was not worth the full price I paid but for 10 bucks it's a decent deal.
The problem is BL2 was so good that it was inevitable that the follow up would be tough to stack up. Handsome Jack was awesome and being replaced by essentially two annoying tiktok characters is cringe worthy.

I'm wondering if I can buy this for my son and his Xbox x, then redeeem the digital code for me on my series x so we can play together.
