Great cartoon graphics, entertaining pacing of action, dry humor, and just all round engaging classic running gun story lines. I'm a 73 year old married man; retired home builder; and I have enjoyed playing this series regularly since shortly after the release of Borderlands 1 - up to this day. I have only played solo on a PC - and now that i think of it - I the series drives my constant habit of buying newer and faster computers, video cards, and monitor , My computer reminds me of the 60,245 hours of game play I have accrued since the release of BL1 - early 2010. I'm eagerly looking forward to the release of BL 4 in September - Just 2 weeks before my next birthday. Thanks Gearbox for keeping the series alive and entertaining. DEATH2PIXELS
PLEASE, DO NOT FALL FOR OR SPREAD MISINFORMATION! Recently, the publisher Takes Two Inc (Owner of Rockstar, 2k, and others) has purchased Gearbox and with it, its IPs. such as the Borderlands games. And so, they applied their general EULA (THE EXACT SAME THEY USE FOR GTA V) for every newly acquired IP. The thing is, EULAs are a way to companies to lessen their liabilities or protect the IP itself, it DOES NOT mean whatever is written in there will be ENFORCED or better yet, ACCEPTED in court. Now, i don't like Takes Two, 2k, or any big corpo for that matter, but this is just a big case of misinformation being spread like wildfire by people who had never read any EULA in their life until this point and refuse to do their own research. NO you will NOT be banned for downloading, modifying your game, abusing exploits or using cheats on ANY of the single player games. These exist to moderate their MULTIPLAYER TITLES ONLY! proof? i have used both mods AND 3rd party softwares on my latest alt character playthroughs of both Borderlands TPS AND 3. such as gibbed, dialog skippers, camera changers, etc... and have yet to receive a warning. NO YOU WILL NOT BE BANNED FOR USING A VPN! NO THEY ARE NOT SPYING ON YOU! if you go to the BL game pages on SteamDB, you can check that the LATESTS patches on ALL BL games were made BEFORE the T2 purchase, thus, BEFORE THE EULA CHANGES! its IMPOSSIBLE for them to have added ANY sort of spying software in your computer. don't believe me? go watch EpicNNG's (a Borderlands modder). NO A WAIVER DOES NOT COMPLETELY REMOVE YOUR RIGHT TO SUE. i'm not a lawyer, but just a few minutes of research you will learn that a waiver will not COMPLETELY take your rights from you and it doesn't mean it will be accepted in court. *note: If you have purchased or consumed ANY Disney product you have agreed to this exact same waiver. Data collection: this is the only valid part but still EXTREMELY weird and hypocritical to get outraged by. if you have a SHiFT account or ANYTHING that uses an EMAIL, they have your phone number. And if they have your phone number, they have EVERY SINGLE PIECE OF INFORMATION ABOUT YOU. THIS IS NOT EXCLUSIVE TO THIS EULA, IT'S THE STANDARD FOR THE ENTIRE INTERNET. if this warrants this level of outrage, then you should quit the internet in its entirety. Not only is this EULA pretty standard, it's used for every Takes Two IP (GTAs, 2Ks...). I'm NOT pro Corpo in any way, shape or form. i will always fight for the consumer and the right to not be treated like cattle but please, please, please DO NOT be a victim of the bandwagon effect. do your own research and for the love of God, do not go out spreading misinformation about things you have no clue about. Do not be a fall for the Dunning Kruger effect. Be better. ✿
