Like Far Cry: Blood Dragon, Tiny Tina's Wonderlands is an off-shoot that I enjoyed more than the game it was based on, but some rough technical issues and some out-dated UI really hold this one back.

Pathetic crap
Witch Queen Review?!
Man all u have said u have issues with ~ are the actual dealbreakers of a game. lol ~
Bad UI, can't make shortcuts in the map, can't select multiple objectives, enemies level up as u and make ur weapon level which u looted just a while ago redundant ~ I mean Am i buying this overpriced game just for good graphics ? Why do u recommend it shill up ? & U constantly had server issues LOL ~ WHERE's THE BUY here ?
was this better than BL3?
23:00 On companions; you can control them, they respond to your pings - if you ping an enemy, your companion will focus on it.
nice tip!
Oh s***, cool!
Wait really?
This is absolutely massive intel
Yea but I play on classic control setting did the same in BL3. Hard er to ping on classic while fighting/moving.
I love the set up for this game. I could absolutely see the "Borderlands" Formula used for different settings to create entirely new landscapes etc. Going to pick this one up for sure.
I pre ordered last week. looks great
Chill out, what ya yellin' for? Lay back, it's all been done before. And if you could only let it be, you will see that I am the funniest YouT*ber of all time. Admit it, my dear follow*r chef
I mean, yeah looter shooter is considered its own genre.
@@slyseal2091 indeed, so much fun!
@@AxxLAfriku dude, i've seen you on so many videos and it's getting annoying. you aren't funny no matter what you do, just bug off already.
All I want to hear is that the writing is actually bearable this time around. I cannot go through another story like Borderlands 3.
Yea that story was pure garbage. The bad guys sucked. I dont think i laughed once.
Damn it's been a while since I played BL3. I don't remember having a problem with the writing so maybe I should give it another shot
I will never play another borderlands again. Never before have i stopped playing completely because of cringe.
Writing was garbage in all the BL games, besides the one that telltale made
@@KatalistProductionsKozzySasha Wrong. Borderlands 2 was not super cringe, edge-lord. Borderlands 3 was the equivalent elementary school grade humor. Lots of fart jokes, lots of social media references, and many character who were as funny as Hannah Gadsby. Borderlands 2 was actually funny.
1.5 sequels are great I wish more devs did them these days. That's what brought us New Vegas and Vice City and San Andreas!
don't forget ballad of gay tony and the lost and damned
They shouldn't be charging $70 for a 1.5 style game like this though
What are you talking about? Activision and EA have multiple each year.
@@milanhvozdik3379 cod and battlefield can eat it I'm taking about the good franchises
@@TheMrNukeman farcry new dawn is better than farcry primal 💩
BL3’s writing was terrible, but I loved the gameplay/classes and that classic borderlands weapon feedback. I’ll definitely pick this one up.
The gunplay was so dang good in Bolands3. Shame their writing team had to preach "the message" instead of writing something entertaining.
Same. BL3's writing was god awful and I'm a staunch defender of BL2's writing and character development. BL3 sounded like somebody came up with a "good idea" of making Vloggers that are super over the top being the bad guys because "everyone" hates them. Without fully thinking exactly how annoying and unrelatable they would be all game which did make everyone hate them...but for the entirely wrong reasons.
@@amerikaOnFire bl3 is one of them sort of candy crush type games you know the kind i can listen to a podcast or some music or anything and mute the voicelines fucking completly,i despise they are the worst characters ive had to listen to in any game ive played since 98
@@amerikaOnFire come one bro no shit ill rather play devil may cry 2 or shadowman 2 or ghost hunter and 100% them 3 times over than have to listen to another fucking voiceline or writing from bl3
So effing good man
I smashed the subscribe button and dinged the bell so I could get notified as soon as this dropped. I'VE DONE EVERYTHING YOU ASKED, NOW LET MY FAMILY GO!
You need to follow him on Twitter and Instagram to get back your family.
Hahahahha same here
New plot for Taken 7? Get ahold of Liam Neeson when you can.
Been rewatching Bojack Horseman recently, and it's impossible to not imagine Bojack playing DnD and hamming it up as this Dragon Lord when I hear him talk here. For anyone who doesn't know what I'm talking about, Will Arnett voices the titular character in that series.
You can direct companions by pinging an enemy. It also works well for marking a chest / item drops for co-op.
This is a pretty easy purchase for me. I loved Borderlands 3 despite the story - played it through with 3 characters and maxed out 2 of them, doing absolutely everything there was to do. Going to really enjoy this.
After playing Elden Ring since launch, it’s great to kick back with a looter shooter with great gun play. BL mixed with DnD is the mixture I didn’t know I needed! 😊
You and I are on the exact same page my man
I've had a great time with this game so far. Currently level 18. Doing all the side quests and whatnot. Neat environments and some cool moments. Guns have been mostly cool, with a scattering of stinkers for good measure. Very very fun with friends of course!
I like how you test the game's performance on multiple systems, but one should be using the top GPU on the steam hardware survey (currently the GTX 1060) and the other could be your top of the line card. This way you get the best case scenario AND the most applicable scenario when reviewing PC performance.
Yeah it's like, "One's the best graphics card you can get right now, the other is the best you could get last year!" lol
I think it’s more like, he has a 3090 at his office and 2080ti at home. Or vice versa.
I think he can't stand 30fps gaming on PC.
@@Globodyne who can?
He's testing 1440p, maybe if he was testing 1080p then older cards would be more viable. The test level is higher than most gamers standard display already tbf
Still on the fence about this one, but I will most definitely take this review into consideration above others
Facts
@@hhhfdsfs He’s played a bunch of borderlands tho…
The people who grind it every day farming the same boss etc are not the best people to take a opinion from unless that’s what you plan on doing.
Bro I didn't ask if u were on the fence about this
@@hhhfdsfs I’d rather listen to someone like this over someone who’s whole channel depends on borderlands and gets sponsored by gearbox.
I'm in the same boat. I was iffy about it but this review has me keeping an eye on it now. With how often Borderlands games go on sale, this will probably be an easy grab on a Steam sale soon.
Finally i can enjoy amazing BL3 combat without story bullshit
And the story isn’t insanely long so we can grind loot!
I love how you're actually honest about stuff like the UI and its other issues
I'm a bit sad that melee isn't all that complex but I'm still gonna do my stabbermancer + Spore warden build
yeah tbh gearbox has always done a bad job when it came to melee like krieg i.e
What about a mancer/spore build says melee? Legit question....
@@MyZ001 I wanted to use a dagger (or something) for the stabbermancer perks
I wanted to use a bow and melee while keeping the stabbermancer invisibility perk
Ohhh that will be excellent for stealth and range it seems ..
@@kriskater I thought so too but the spore warden bow is ass
I'm using a Spellshot Stabbermancer now for the spell crits
Sounds like a great "sale" game. Let them patch it, release some dlc, and we gonna have a decent game next year.
I think you are mistaking BL3 here. That is what bl3 should've been, but Wonderlands is definitely up to par on the standards we used to have when releasing games
@@BlastOffer So having the UI fight the player is up to par on standards? Actually considering most games releases for the past couple of years do this, yeah you're right.
@@dpray96 minor bugs. Every game has em in the history of games
@@Soapy_Papoose the way he typed it made it sound utterly broken with bugs which it is clearly not since no other review mentions em nor were present in the demo. A few extra clicks for ui to do what you want every now and then? Not exactly unplayable. I had far worse bugs with Doom, Hades and the new Horizon than that. I have fallen off the map in large amount of great games considered legendary, including San Adreas, Gta 5, Mario Sunshine, Oblivion and Morrowind etc the list is huge. Few ui bugs that were forgotten to fix is literally nothing...
@@Soapy_Papoose + you can actually go watch the first 2 hours of gameplay in various channels now. It looks incredibly polished and already way smoother than bl3 is. I did not see a single bug so in addition to being minor, they are rare
I’m a massive fan of boderlands since the second. excited to see where this one goes, I’ve heard a lot of good things so far. Borderlands 3 and even the pre sequel definitely were not well regarded in the community, so I hope to see the community enjoy this game
Funny thing was, Bolands2 had the same writing flaws that the 3rd and pre-sequal had. The more you play it the more noticeable it becomes.
@@Zathren I wouldn't say that. A number of the main characters in 3 were unbearable at times. 2 didn't have that same problem, outside of Cl4ptrap sometimes.
@@sumSOTY I disagree. How they chose to kill Roland off and forced Lilith to take his place rather arbitrarily is one of the many things that bothered me.
@@Zathren I thought that Roland’s death and the impact it had on the story in BL2 was actually quite great (especially if you consider the Assault on DragonKeep DLC). I’d say that the writing comes far more undone in BL3, when Lilith’s role feels much more hackneyed and forced. She’s kind of void of charisma in BL3, whereas she has so much spunk and fight in her in BL2. Whereas Roland’s lack of charisma was not only played for a laugh, but central to him being the leader of the rebellion, as he was the most qualified for the role, and this made him stand out so much more when he was surrounded by wacky and irreverent characters.
@@Zathren I don’t understand your logic. Jack sets a trap up for us to try to save Roland which is the turning point where Angel loses Lilith’s trust and has to sacrifice herself to stop Jack. How was this arbitrary? Because you liked Roland better than Lilith?
18:26 big Shout Out to your Editor. The Song is synced greatly to the Visuals and Sound-FX. Very well done!
And SkillUp your insights are great as always, thanks for the review!
I always loved watching “Hey Ash watcha playin?” Shorts on TH-cam. Then I found out her brother had a big part in Borderlands (or maybe came up with it?) and she voiced tiny Tina…. Which was my favorite part. Now she has her own world In a game!!! I know I need this in my life and I’m not into shooters that much. I totally feel this kid style and for it to be done in this fashion with the D&D aspects. Man this is so cool!
I love the gameplay loop of the BL games. But I'm not ready to play another one right now. I think this will be a solid game to buy one in a Steam sale 6 months from now.
I mean if it's even on steam in 6 months it's an epic exclusive at launch
especially at 60 dollars i was debating buying this assuming it was $30. seems way too much
@@saamtf2 Just assume its a new Borderlands game, its a full game, worthy of the full price tag.
@@saamtf2 why would you expect 30$ price tag from a full game release? It’s not an off shoot it’s a full release.
@@haydenfarstead7024 It looks like a dlc.
Fun Fact: ShillUp’s house is still flooded. He’s been swimming around the house making these videos for us. Budgie smugglers and all.
🤡
One thing I really appreciate about your channel is the fact that you put the gist of the review in the title
Instead of hitting the notification button, I just watch and rewatch your videos so much TH-cam recommends me your every video instantly.
1:20 - Don't forget that the gameplay in BL3 was also massively improved over BL2, in addition to the things you listed. Agreed that the writing in BL3 was very bad though.
Yeah, I didn't even bother to get BL3 hoping that the next game would be better and then this was announced! 👍
@@shinryusaiha It was awful, especially with the quest system
@@shinryusaiha thats a joke right? you spent most of the time killing everything lol. shouldnt be walking much when theres plenty to fast travel to and be where you need to be at. the game full of enemies to fight
@@jodyboles8208 "talk to Lilith"
@@MattR8605 dude you are still 90% of the time fighting enemies. Guys need to stop acting like you don't lol
23:04 - I believe you can direct your minions to attack things by pinging what you want them to attack.
Hopefully. If not, it is yet another step backwards after introducing it in B3.
@@lilFougie its in the game 100% can ping for targets
Thanks for pointing out the bugginess and lack of UI optimization, I'll hold off a bit despite the premise being really intriguing.
Awesome review! Thanks for uploading! Can't wait to play this!
I’m definitely going to pick this up… eventually, I’m waiting on weird west from devolver and have been for a minute cause I love the people behind that. And I don’t have the time to sink into both which sucks cause this year has been so huge for games
I saw weird west is going on game pass
@@shadowweaver1599 ye, on the 31st I believe
Glad to see more hype for Weird West, it looks incredible, and it's on GamePass!
Sorry if you’re a pony and actually have to pay for weird west lol
@@smokeemifyagotem8851 not even part of the issue as I said in my first reply but okay, local goofball
Despite the issues with BL3 Voice acting/story, the combat/loot loop was SO good that it quickly became one of my favorite games in the franchise
This game looks to be better in the story aspect (Tiny Tina being my favorite character in the whole franchise) and the combat and loot loop looks just as good as BL3
Hyped for Day 1 and fingers crossed they address all the bugs swiftly!
SO effing good man! Hyped as well! Trying to get my friends to give it a shot lol
I think Tina is second to mister tourge
Great review Ralph! Planning on picking this up day 1.
Thanks for covering Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, been looking forward to this one!
The worst thing about Borderlands 3 for me was, like you hinted at, the lack of convincing writing which undermined the story/characters, which for me destroyed the replayability of the game... (after having played as FL4K, I didn't want to have another run with Moze, Amara or Zane)
But I'm really glad to hear Tiny Tina's is doing great, I think Gearbox is making the right move here to shift the focus away from Ava and more to Tiny Tina.
My thoughts aside, great review, looking forward to the next one!
Borderlands 3 was the first game I’ve ever finished with the sound off. The writing and performances were so bad
The performances were mostly fine or good, but even the best performances in the world can't save poor dialogue.
Actually very excited for this game. I’m a gamer and love fantasy and sci-fi. My fiancé is a girls girl and wanted to play video games with me because I enjoy them.
We played borderlands 3 and she loved it but I was never a BL person. I feel like this game will not only appeal to both of us, but also give her a nice transition into the fantasy realm and maybe open her up to more traditional RPGs etc
Ohhh yeah you’ll have to show her Skyrim if she takes to the fantasy setting 😁
From what I'm getting at, it's like the best of both worlds, of Battleborn and Borderlands; and that's something I'm quite looking forward to. Definitely will be picking this up on Friday! Thanks Skill Up!
Good thing you did that extra post, I didn't get the notification for this one.
Scaling enemies are a complete non-starter for me. I want leveling to mean more than new modifiers and skills. One should become more powerful relative to the enemies as the game goes on, imho
Eh it means nothing anyway, I have buddies who will drop me modded weapons that one shot everything. I'm really just playing for the humor and the story.
Scaling enemies makes sense for this as u will be farming for loot. If a level 10 boss drops a specific legendary then farming for that weapon when ur level 10+ would make no sense because the weapon would way underpowered
@@LAGxKALON there's no dedicated loot farming in this game... Like the start of bl3 they screwed that up. Sigh.
@@Screeno1993 really?! Thats like what makes borderlands borderlands. Idk how I feel about that
Scaling good. I don't like over levelling quests and it means I can join my mate at level 7 and they're level 20
As someone with over 500 hours in bl3, I absolutely love how you took like 30% of this review to dunk on bl3. I love the borderlands formula in terms of gameplay, but god damn does gearbox make the same mistakes over and over with writing, ui, and pc ports.
I love playing a Tiny Tina DnD with Jake Peralta as my helper. Also please take note on the Tiny Tina's animation on the cinematic table view sections like 12:17!!
Got the premium for 30$ which I think is the right price 20-30$ is max. Especially knowing the DLC is weak but hey at least it’s not 90$ the original price like damnnn
I got back into Borderlands 3 in anticipation for Wonderland and just beat the last Dlc, so I’m definitely ready for this game.
One thing I think BL3 did extremely well is the environments, there was so many unique and fresh locations in that game because of having the ability to travel to new planets. Then add the dlc content in there, the game has great gameplay, probably the best in the franchise, but the narrative was wholly unforgivable
It is so wild to me. If they structured the game so every piece of dialogue was skippable, it would still be a much better game. That's how bad the storyis. Lol.
@@Trainwhrek I muted all dialogue and just checked my phone whenever a cut scene with social media nitwits happened
@@Trainwhrek talk to lillith
Never played a Borderlands game before but I'm very tempted. A first-person AAA DnD RPG where your DM is an actual character who influences the world around you and where it's clear that a lot of the plot and comedy come from improv is a dream game of mine, even if I do wish that it was the sort of idea used for a new IP rather than a franchise spinoff.
The Tina D&D DLC captured the spirit and feel you describe at 10:00 near perfectly. Especially with the changing landscapes in the intro. If this game manages to keep that, it could seriously be epic. Also, CHARACTER CREATION! Finally!!! SQUUUUEEEEeeeeeee!!
Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep is one of my favorite DLC's ever, I'm glad they're doing something with it. Will probably wait for the Steam version though.
Wait a year or so, and also expect a mediocre steam port just like the one Hitman 3 recieved.
Borderlands gameplay/combat always delivers.
I'm praying the writing doesn't make me cringe too much.
I was one of the many who ended up muting dialogue in borderlands 3, I remember having physical pain whenever i heard it 😂
Me whenever the twins started talking. If they remastered Borderlands 2 with the gameplay that 3 has I wouldn't hesitate on deleting BL3.
Remember to Like, Subscribe, and Obey 🤢
i thought i was the only one who had to mute the dialogue lol finding out it was a common fix both hilarious and sad. Hope they learned something from that.
Hit 18:30 ish and had to do a double take that I wasn’t watching Play to Win MTG content (same song choice)
Great video Shill Up
The art of the game and levels gave me Spyro/R&C vibes, that is always a good thing for me. As for enemies scaling with you I wish they were stronger. My Spellshot is so broken my weapons and spells are more than 10 levels below my level.
The biggest problem I had with BL3 was that legendary weapons dropped wayy too much & there wasnt another rarety above them. Made the game really boring, so Im hoping we get a new rarety above legendary in this game.
Many of the previews said they dont drop frequently anymore and that blues and purples were more meaningful in wonderlands. Not sure if they will add another level but it's definitely possible 🤞
@@mrbobajango7482 I swear I've seen rainbow rarity? Maybe I'm just going crazy haha
@@albertoruiz470 there is rainbow beams but apparently its a currency drop. I could be wrong though lol
I just read the same comment on ACG's review lol
This! BL3 loot system was awful. You literally would never need to use any green or blue guns, bc u have a full inventory of golden ones. That was just sad.
nice review as you always do skill up, really seems this is a pretty fun game to play with some friends.
Well apart from when he said Cyberpunk was a masterpiece.
Yup, I’m so stoked! It actually exceeds what I was expecting. Can’t wait to play tomorrow night!!
Great points re: benefits from building it from ground up. I wonder if that might be a future possibility.
Every borderlands I have to weigh up the consequences of giving Randy Pitchford my money.
Well, technically, he isn't directly responsible for the games now. Still though, I wonder what horrors he will bring to reality using the extra cash. How many more actors will he mercilessly annoy?
Borderlands has one of my favourite art styles of any game ever, and “fantasy with modern weaponry” is a niche genre I’m interested in. Seems like a fun as heck game. Will totally give it a shot, one day.
Borderlands 3’s /almost/ unmatched FPS gameplay with the maniac craze of Tiny Tina and DnD concepts with what may actually tolerable writing sounds like a recipe for a great game.
This looks a lot better than I expected!
Last borderlands game i played was the presequel, i got pretty burnt out but maybe this changes things up enough!
i made a dual spell mage and the game was pretty much on easy mode lol. getting that Cooldown Reduction to like, -70 percent made the game feel awesome. who needs guns when you can rain 4 meteors from the sky, or spawn a massive iceberg, with 3 spell charges and a 5 second cooldown. It was one hell of a power trip.
If you like the Borderlands gameplay but dislike Borderlands games, I suggest checking out Gunfire Reborn. You basically end up with a late game Borderlands build after less than 2 hours, it got both weapons and skills. Multiple classes that can play in various ways. Amazing RPG elements, good progression that keeps you hooked but still take a long time to be maxed out, lots of unlockable content and insane replayability as it is structure like a roguelike.
I wishlisted it. It looks like a cute version of the Borderlands games!
it got pretty stale after a while
@@scrums4748 Have you played all characters ? unlocked all weapons ? Beat difficulty R8 ? I mean, the 4 location you'll fight in will never change, but that's fine since you will play differently every time try you play. Borderlans it's the opposite, you'll encounter a variety of places to fight in, but the game will always play the same. Borderlands pace is quite slow and can be boring because of story/quest/exploration design. Gunfire you can have within 2 hours action pack FPS Gun RPG gameplay with lots of build variety and fun challenge to tackle. It's basically like if you could play Left for Dead 2 with 50 differents ways you can equip your character to kill 50 different types of zombies.
@@Blackcendre Just say it is the roguelite shooter version of Borderlands. You said all that but didn't mentioned the keyword roguelite or roguelike.
@@Blackcendre I like borderland gun
i think they meant for spells to randomize just like guns with parts and u can somewhat control the pets with the ping system just like bl3, in any case, i am so ready for the game on friday.
The only fix I found for sniper rifles was by using the DPI setting button on my mouse to increase the DPI making it move better, but that means that when you aren't using one you have to click it until you're back to your normal settings. Definitely NOT a fix unless you already play with a very high DPI setting, but it temporarily works I guess
Great review! Only thing I disagreed with was the level scaling complaint. As someone who does every side quest and explores every nook and cranny I'm happy that the game scales with me so I don't overlevel the main story and end up trivializing some great fights.
But seriously though, your review was awesome and super thorough, loved it
Love the environments but everything looks like I've done it already. It looks like this franchise is going the route of Far Cry and Assassin's Creed.
Very thorough review. Pretty much spot on with how I've felt about playing this game. I have some UI problems on the PS5 as well and that does get a obnoxious. I've been playing only in co-op and so far having an amazing time. I love the fantasy world that gearbox has built and Tina is an amazing DM
Now, I want a Graveminder class. lol
The review I’ve been waiting for..thank you
Hey any update on the witch queen review? Curious on your thoughts
This weekend
Isnt this also epic exclusive? Pretty much an automatic wait for me personally
unfortunately yes
Tired of this being a thing
@@MacDaddyOriginal yep blame greedy Randy for this crap.
@@MacDaddyOriginal same
Great thanks Skill Up! Was hoping to go a few weeks without spending £60 on a game I was on the fence on, thanks to you I’ve failed!
Cheers 🍻
😂
Music in the background is just 10/10. It sounds like a 30-minute action anime opening sequence.
Love the critical role inclusion! Honestly the BL2 DLC was my fav borderlands experiences so I was sold before I even watched this video. This does seem promising but I'm tired of buggy experiences that don't get fixed. I really wish they would fix that shit before launch...
The thought of combining two random classes and getting a piece of rare loot that fits by boosting both classes, is making my dopamine receptors tingle
I was so hopeful that they would update the UI and quest log/tracking for this game…. Really bummed to see they didn’t.
I zoned out of Borderlands a while back - but i'm super excited for this - it feels a little fresher (at least for me :) )
Two videos in one day. Now that's what I call perfection.
In my humble opinion, this game has aged like milk.
Thanks for your amazing work, specially in "This week in video games". Justo INE quick question, whem are you releasing thr Witch Queen Review?
I mean, I already got to the Hard Cap, and got pretty much all I wanted regarding guns, but, I still wanna ser that top noch quality review.
Assault on Dragon Keep was one of my favorite parts of BL2. You haven't lived until you buzz saw smash a lightning dwarf while on fire
Borderlands 2 is one of my most played games, finished it over 10 times, finished the first and pre-sequel many times as well... and I couldn't get through Borderlands 3 even once!
The story is such a huge part of Borderlands, the third one was just a failure to my eyes.
The story isn't really a huge part of Borderlands, the first one barely even had a story.
@@enotsnavdier6867 In story I include world building, environments, music, humor... Maybe not a huge part compared to other games but a big part of what drew me in each of these games. Anyway, different people enjoy things for different reasons. That's not hard to understand.
Same for me. BL2 is just about one of the greatest games of all time
Weird, this video isn't showing in my subscription feed, or when I view the channel. Only found it on the TH-cam home page.
Me too
I’m so glad to hear this is a thumbs up. I’m really excited to play a Borderlands that harkens to the likes of Baldurs Gate: Dark Alliance and Champions of Norrath that feel integral to its inception.
13:00 Hey is that the horse from Horsin Around?!
So after Borderlands 3 shit the bed with it's writing, even though yhe gun play was glorious, I didn't care about this game.
Then I saw you could fling spells instead of grenades . . . and now I'm interested.
As a big D&D fan this peaked my interest, I enjoyed the first version of this from the Borderlands 2 DLC but BL3 left me scorned. Hopefully this can make up for that game.
The only thing ive learned from bl3 is claptrap gave me a degrade kink
I cant wait to put my hands on this one, and I like to see Borderlands in differnet "non futuristic" ambient, I liked the feel of BO3 dlc Bounty of blood and I would like to have a standalone Western Bordelrands.... With naration OFC.
Also cant wait for this on Steam!
This is the first Borderlands game that looks interesting to me; love the Mass Effect-esque combo of gunplay and abilities, combining classes, the whole DM shtick.. seems fun!
I played that 9 year old DLC 2 months ago. Considering how good that is, I'm surprised it took Gearbox this long to develop the full, triple A successor. It's still good today.
Well, I wouldn’t have believed it had I not heard it with my own ears:
The phrase _”Artist’s catharsis”_ said without a stutter or stumble.
Well done, ShillUp. Well done indeed.
They fixed the quest toggle by allowing you to now pan through quests, like back to your last quest, after picking up a new quest. Very handy.
Love to listen ShillUp while working out idk why his voice gives me motivation for no reason
Bruh
It feels like this would be a great game if it wasn't working off the back of such an old engine at this point.
I hope Gearbox actually Doesn't go into sequels anymore at this point. Now it feels like a good time for a New I.P. for them to work on. Something they can work on from the ground up and let the creator's have more flexibility with...pretty much Everything at this point.
You know I’m actually torn between a Borderlands 4 that’s something more of an rpg like Tiny Tina or Gearbox doing something like that Sega did with the Yakuza series.
Skill up reviews are so thorough
The biggest thing I think they should have done is make all travel in the world via the Overworld map. They have a mix between the overworld and the traditional Borderlands style of portals/map exits to the next area, and I think it made it confusing at times as to how I was supposed to travel around. I think the idea of a D&D game would have been better suited to this. I found that walking around the overworld and doing the minor encounters/quests to be far better than trudging through the maps in first person mode. I don't really think I have any of the issues with the game that Skill Up has, but I am 100% over walking across borderlands maps. I've played every game to 100% completion and I just am tired of doing that. It would have been a nice change of pace for this game, being a spin off, to just completely eradicate that from the formula. If only to give us a break from it for a game.
You can direct ur pets with the ping system. I’ve seen people do it. Someone pinged something and the mushroom ran and attacked it.
You could in 3 as well
Cheers for the VA commentary Ralph. Ever since I started working in the industry, I've started noticing just how few people actually talk about voice acting in games as a crucial segment, and I love it when folks notice the amazing performances by my VA colleagues.
Keep it up, much love.
I just started playing this game while I’m waiting for light fall , this game definitely a hidden gem for all the praise and coverage borderlands 3 got I just heard about this game a month ago and it’s better then borderlands 3
I absolutely loved Assault on Dragon Keep and knew that I HAD to play this game as soon as it was announced. Seeing this video has now made up my mind fully and I will definitely be buying this game as soon as it hits Steam.
Thanks for such a comprehensive and fair review. I was planning to get this at launch but I’m not so sure now. £60 for a buggy game that may not be patched. What on Earth is wrong with the gaming industry?
Btw when he said it may not get patched he was on about the user interface not the bugs. The bugs will no doubt get patched
LAGxKALON How can you be so sure? Lots of games stay buggy now, I have no doubt this game will be the same.
@@Steve_Johnson_ it will definitely start buggy but saying it wont get patched is a far stretch. Its a triple A game by a big studio and they have fixed bugs with previous borderlands games pretty fast so I dont see that changing here
Bugs can be fixed, but bad UI and design choices probably won't, so if the latter bothers you, maybe buy on a sale, or not at all.
which is the same for every AAA game release, they're all $100 AUD and buggy on release. Like elden ring, dying light, battlefield etc as all recent examples of games with horrible performance issues at launch on PC, leading many people to refund. Why are you surprised by this? It's the industry standard for the past decade or so. If you don't want to support it, then you literality can't play a single AAA game ever, atleast not on PC. PS and switch exclusives are usually good.
Just wait till its discounted, borderland games get insane discounts through steam pretty often, more so than most games.
Am I the only human in the world that likes claptrap
This feels like the BL2 Tina's DLC but the full version, It's amazing!
These reviews are EXCELLENT. THANK YOU
