Current Events > Borderlands 3 still all about game changing rebalances

(+) Yeah! (+)

I wish they would just make it so it doesn't crash or hitch. Apparently that's too much to ask.

Yeah I played for a few hours the other night, farming Scraptrap Prime, that shit crashed like 5 times. And I mean hard crashes, literally had to turn my console back on.

Shit is unacceptable.

They need to put it in VR like the 2nd. I just hit the wall on the 2nd. I need more full games on VR.

It's barely playable with my friends. I crash so much I can't host, but if I'm not crashing my friends are and even my friend who somehow doesn't crash often still crashes sometimes. No idea why. Feels like half our time is spent waiting on someone to join. My load times are unacceptable, I have a PC whose specs exceeds my friend's in every way but takes like 4 times longer to load between maps.

Yeah if they go through more rounds of nerfs and shit I might be done. It's so damn irritating to collect good weapons with annointments that you want, only to have them be ruined.

It's a game about bad, annoying characters and recycled guns from 2

This has to be, by far, their laziest attempt at a functioning Borderlands. At least previous versions had functioning couch Co-op.

It would have better gameplay than TPS if they fixed the bugs and the updates weren't a train wreck. But no

i quit BL3 after they nerfed my grenade spam moze build. I saw the writing on the wall of no stability in class stats. Fuck that.

That is why I'm waiting to get the game on PC. Borderlands 2 had community mods that re-balanced the game to make certain characters more playable (*Cough* Gaige *Cough*), so wouldn't be surprised to see the fans do the same with BL3 eventually

Yeah, this game has been a mess and I'm not touching it until at least the major content is released. It's clear the team is too focused on dlc and events to get stability and performance under control. And while the balancing will probably be good for the final product of the game, it's a shit show to deal with as they continuously add features that require constant rebalancing.

I think this will be a great game in 2022. But right now it's a borderline early access title.

It's really in that bad of a state? I'll play it eventually but it sounds like a disaster right now.

I never had big issues with gaige. Farming gear with her wasn't fun, but that's what it took at higher levels.

Gaige got pretty broken in later levels. Like you didn't even have to aim broken because of that skill that ricochets.

Well almost all her skills beside Anarchy suck, and her action skill is useless unless you use the Make It Sparkle/Hide of Terra glitch (or feature). Edit: At UVHM and OP levels I mean. And there are some skills (Close Enough, The Better Half) that are decent.

I'd say so. I wasn't going to buy it until like way later but my friends really wanted to play so I ended up getting it on sale. Protip get the base game and the season pass, not the crappy bundles.
