    Played Borderlands 1, 2, The Pre-Squel, and a bit of 3. Bought it for 35 dollars (base + season pass). I feel good about that unlike other games I bought that have a similar price.
    I really like the writing. I actually listen to the dialogue and enjoy it. "Babies will cry! More than usual." That caught me off guard and I had a good feeling about the writing.
    Combat is also really good. Using Spore Warden and the spells and action skills feel really smooth even in early game because the cooldowns blend well. I'm playing on the highest difficulty, but BL2 is harder. Although it may be because there's more options now and there's a faster build up to your kit and dmg unlike previous games.
    Looting is alright. I haven't seen a lot of unique weapons yet, but it's funny how they implemented fantasy into the weapons. I found a gun that flies and shoots enemies when you reload it.
    The enemy diversity is kinda meh. Skeletons, Goblins, Orcs, Cyclops, Humans, and Coiled. The bosses are plenty though.
    Overall, I like it better than 1, The Pre-Sequel, and 3. The pacing is better than 2 in terms of story and combat difficulty, but 2 is still really strong in other aspects.

      This is a stand alone game, and they did not trust that a high focus on DnD would be good sell, instead the main focus should be Borderlands rather then Borderlands DnD. Hence this is less focused on DnD then the DLC for BL2.
      They lost touch with what fans wanted from Borderlands. BL3 was the worst story (even worse then 1 and that had barebone story), has terrible characters, and destroys much of the lore and universe of BL. BL3 ruined the series in many many ways. Rather then fix it or try to resolve it they instead decided to focus on one the last major selling items for BL and milk that (Hence Tiny Tina game). BUT again the lack of understanding the fans, resulted in them pulling away from what most fans wanted or expected.

      Also it doesnt make any sense to say this is less D&D than the dlc when this game easily has WAY more features and themes from D&D than the dlc ever had. You can literally make your own character, add different stats, multi class, travel on a D&D map and loads of other things like spells. So I dont see the problem here.
      Lastly bl3 didnt ruin the series at all. Sure the story wasnt great but all borderlands games story have been average at best. The lore is far from destroyed. In fact we actually got a ton of interesting lore that will be great to see played out in bl4.

Or how about new weapons like melee that have individual looks and perks or crossbow styled weapons? Or how about having various spells you can cast? Or how about an interactive map players can move their character piece through to find different locations and puzzles? Or how about being able to combine and take perks from two different classes?

    Given what happened to BL3, this is a title that deserves a follow-up review once some DLC and patches are out. BL3 became the most busted, unbalanced mess I've seen apart from Warframe due to a long string of terrible decisions and rampant power creep post-release. Even raving BL fans like myself gave up on it en masse.
    Definitely holding off till I see if they've learned any lessons from that.

      That's smart. I'm afraid I just don't trust them at this point. BL3 story was garbage and cringe inducing (welcome to woke writing) and the 2nd season pass is one of the biggest scams I have witnessed when it comes to DLC in gaming. And that's not even delving into what you mentioned as far as general gameplay is concerned. Once the complete-complete edition comes out, and it's 50% off, I might jump in. Assuming there isn't something more interesting out by then.

I got my money worth out of bl3 and then some, but they kept making changes that made it worse and worse.

    Looks fun, really wish they had stepped out just a liiiittle bit more from Borderlands and really put in that fantasy/dnd element. I'll wait till the GOTY is on Steam.

      Same here. Have resisted buying anything from the Epic store that has large Chinese ownership. Plenty of other games to play while waiting.

    If you enjoy borderlands this is a buy it’s that simple no question about it. If you don’t like borderlands you prob won’t like this. Basically as simple as it gets. I personally had a blast with Wonderlands. Catch it on Epic Game Store right now it's on sale for 35 dollars or so after the discount+coupon. Def worth that price IMO.

    I’ve been playing splitscreen with my brother on latest gen Xbox and it’s been really fun. Only a a couple of issuses, a few areas did cause stuttering/frame drops and a few times pop ups wouldnt go away like the death save and trade

    I hoped in something more different myself,
    but if it's more Borderlands I'm in anyway.
    I mean, personally, I'm not tired of this series, yet.
    Thanks for your videos!

    Epic exclusive on PC means WAIT. Will not contribute to those scumbags hoovering up games as timed exclusives. If they want a chance for my business they need a launcher that rivals Steam.

    Okay...so here is something that worries me. How is the comical presentation in this game? I ask because too me many of the jokes in the new trailer either fell flat or were almost expected in a way.

      Some are funny some are not. I would rate it right around 50%

    I love borderlands so this was an easy purchase. It’s a bit different but I don’t regret my purchase at all

    I want to get this game, but I'm REALLY nervous after bl3 with it's awful, constrictive story and horrible dlc.

    To be fair I haven’t played it. This being said; the lame androgynous character models and the strong stench of “new world order”politics makes this a pass. Sad though, I do enjoy the IP.

    Yeah, I thought she would be able to change the level up as your playing in real time or maybe you see her looking down from above and she can roll dice and they are gigantic rolling through your level smashing into things then she could call in different enemies from rolling certain numbers and you can shoot the dice to stop the new enemies from spawning in? I'm saying to mix the board game aspects into the live action parts more but to feel like that is what's going on, like that would be the uniqueness to the game, almost like what they are doing at the table is reflecting what's going on and what your seeing as your in fp running around the level, so all of a sudden here come big dice flying in bc someone is rolling at the table, maybe someone spills a drink then a flood comes raging in things that really change up the level. It's hard to fully explain it but you get the idea, that would be cool to me. Lol

      I understand exactly what you are trying to convey and honestly thought that was going to be a part of the game. Sad to see it isn't.

    you never said if you should buy full price, wait for sale, or not touch lol only that fans of the series would enjoy it and that for full price you would wanna see more d&d aspects. Does this mean wait for sale?

    The joke that happens pretty early (you'll know it when it happens) had me cracking up and in complete awe when I experienced it for the first time. Also Spellshot is pretty op with duel spells and high spell damage.
