Wonderland is ALL gayness. 1 wasn't too bad. 2 had a little. Pre-Sequel half the characters were gay. 3 had plenty of gayness and one of the DLCs was preparation for a gay marriage including forcing you to watch an unskippable gay kiss. |

Hence why I'll just get a second hand copy or wait until is on sale at GOG for $2. I hate steam so I won't buy it there. |

Maybe if it didn’t take 5 minutes while fast forwarding thru all the people in the credits, it wouldn’t have to cost so damn much... That said, bought because I’m weak and friends were playing and bullied me  . Some lag and stutters here or there but nothing gamebreaking on my end, and I only have a 9800x3d and a 3060tiGame reminds me a lot of 2, which so dropped way too many hours into so hopefully it holds |
| Am I the only one who never uses repkits? I just completely forget they exist. Anytime I would benefit from it would be a time I'm jumping around, trying to kill or find cover instead of trying to remember to hit T. |
It was never easy for me. I was born a poor black child.

Finished the campaign around level 40. This is the rough level I would strongly recommend completing the campaign. You don’t want to be lv50. The exp doesn’t count toward specialization points and gets wasted. Still a lot of stuff I need to do. Overall, this is the best BL game. The only weakness of the villain is kinda weak. Handson Jack will never be topped. I used a Spector build with Vex and now swapped over to a kinetic damage build with basically unlimited health. It is so broken, but in a good way. I’m not one tapping bosses, but dealing really good damage and have a 100% upkeep of overshields. My build is very an optimized due to still need in certain gear. |

Using a Vex minion/blood build so all the damn time for that sweet sweet 200% damage buff. Coupled with the underbarrel spread launcher, it’s made UVH5 boss farming trivial. |
This is the build I’m working toward. Unless I get lucky and get the knife.  The BEST Deputy Vex UVHM 5 Build! (No Penetrator Knife Needed) | Borderlands 4 |

Finally beat the game and currently on VH3 mode. Vex build is best build. BUT, I now have some corrupted file or something and game crashes every time I fast travel (PS5 Pro). I see some work around for clearing the cache on the hard drive and that worked for a bit before it came right back. Noticed it happens right when my map view starts to pixelate so maybe a patch will fix this, hopefully. They got a week before BF6 comes out to hopefully start to find a better way to deal with these engine based issues |
|
Still one more area to clear before the final boss. Man, there are way too many crappy guns. I find myself using green weapons instead of purples and legendaries a lot. The latest legendary I got was a Ripper assault rifle with a small magazine and it's awful minus the alt-fire mode: it calls in an airstrike that blows up everything on screen but has a long cool down lol. Probably not gonna finish the campaign before BF6 comes out this weekend. |

My first playthrough was on the Siren and I found all the vault symbols, echoes, everything. Getting from UVH1 to UVH5 was a cakewalk. Second playthrough i chose the level 30 start with Rafa, and I dunno if the juice is worth the squeeze on the lvl 30 start. You start off with 30 skill points and a blank map.🙄 You kinda miss out on organically learning the skill trees, and you start out with absolute shit for gear, plus you get the added bonus of doing all the main missions over again or pulling up Map Genie to find all the good farming spots all over. Your vault is shared, but you can't put anything in it until you upgrade the SDU's. I think im going to skip the lvl 30 start for the other 2 toons. Guns are hit and miss. There's a blue and purple Maliwan shotty that rolls with a laser underbarrel that's completely broken. The crit knife with the penetrator perk is absolutely broken on the Siren. It's decent on Rafa, but it's actually working as intended with him. A decent grenade is just as good tho. Anything by the Order or Ripper goes straight to the trash. Im not doing a 3-5 second charge up on shit. That's one of the reasons I hated maliwan guns in 3. The biggest pain points I ran into were the bank with the new toon and not having anything on the map open to see. The only other big issue that I didn't see in my second playthrough was running missions and half the enemies at my level and some that were 4 levels higher in the same room. I don't particularly like my heavy weapons and grenades being in the same slot and having to choose to run one or the other. I'd rather have my rocket launcher in the 4th slot in case of a FFYL. |

I finished the story and about 75% of the collectibles/side missions, and thought I would start a new character to run. Loaded in, they just missed the landing, it's great starting at level 30 I guess but trash mobs are working me over. I wish I had saved some decent guns at level 30 so that I could start out okay but I didn't. I'm probably going to have my kid log in and farm splashzone till I get a fireworks shield and decent grenade and hopefully that will speed up the process a little more. Also, everyone seems to be crapping on Amon, but I mostly ran and ordnance build where I literally only ran around shooting rockets or gatling guns. And then after the last patch I switched to a melee build. The only thing I have trouble with on melee is fliers, everything else gets worked in quick fashion. BUT it is more fun running/jumping around slapping everything with axes than just spamming heavy. |

But yeah, starting at 30 with white gear sucked for me. Those fuckers around Splashzone and Splash zone made a greasy spot out of me several times until I got some decent gear. |

IIRC, they're going to make the ones in the missions not count toward the achievement and in game challenge. If you start a new character, they're all blue again. |
| Well that sucks. Shows I’m 1 shy and it’s not anywhere on the map and I have all the side quests done (even the hidden ones). Saw something about a Maurice echo if you start a new character but when I did that, nothing popped up and saw that everything was reset |

If he had kept his mouth shut I would have bought a copy. He didn't, I haven't bought. A 20% "sale" won't make me buy it either. |

Not quite a flop, but definitely not a huge success. I wouldn’t be surprised if it was even cheaper during the Christmas sale in a month. |

My opinion as someone who has played every BL shooter: - Seemed to lack the heart and NPC comradery of the others. - Bringing back Amara, Zane and Lilith was cool but way too late in the game. Disappointed Tina didn't make an appearance. - Timekeeper was an ok ultimate boss but didn't really feel like much of a threat until the endgame unlike Jack and the Twins who were a constant threat and malevolent interaction. - Gameplay and gunplay was pretty good and I liked the overall inventory control despite some online bitching I've been hearing. - I did like the open world better that the segmented world section of the past games. - Not enough Moxxie - I like the vehicle system better than the old Catch-A-Ride. Overall I give it a 7.5 out of ten. I'm not gonna rank it against other games until more DLC come out. |
an event "of this type and magnitude allows for the termination of all rules, regulations, and articles, even those found in the Constitution,"

Bought game on sale Played 3 hours as the melee guy as the dei hunters looked retarded Timekeeper is worse bad guy than the twins of bl3 Gameplay is way too hard on normal Did not enjoy and fighting with steam to get money back Did not enjoy and worst game in franchise |
