I’m genuinely glad that this game is being positively reviewed overall, especially by people I know have no problem with saying if something is bad or not. One thing I will say that I’ve noticed is that the general consensus is that the enchantment system is better than the anointment system because it’s less impactful and won’t make or break a weapon/build.

The music in borderlands 1 was stellar. The ambient stuff by Jesper kid and then all the mad moxxi dlc music was amazing as well!

Big maps were advantage to me, they made Pandora feel bigger and somehow emptier and helped building the feeling of loneliness at the borders of known universe.

i really, really, REALLY hope that this game was gearbox trying out new mechanics to add to the next main installment of borderlands, stuff like character customization, enchantments, endgame content, etc. i would LOVE to see those put into the actual borderlands universe.

I'm liking the game, it could do with a bit more smoothing down since there are a couple times when there's a slight delay between actions I can take and it becomes noticeable, also it will probably be better when they update it a but more as i've started to have lagging issues.

i wanted to revisit this after I had played and I think this is a great review. I especially agree about the overworld. I love it! But it's a little annoying having to run all the way across it sometimes. Feels like sprinting the maps back in Borderlands 1. In my opinion, I just think they should increase your movement speed, honestly like +25%. And then let you activate the blue shrine for another 10% on top. I just don't think you lose anything by being faster, and it's much more convenient.

This is by far my favorite in the series! Especially its Loot dice & End game systems.

The game got me hooked, as soon as they released the trailer with "Gimme Chocolate" from Babymetal

The music in ALL of the Borderlands games was awesome. What is your favorite musical genre, polka?

I am so excited

The biggest issue I have based on what I have heard is the lack of innovation in melee. When you hear fantasy and magic you tend to think of swords more than guns. Just would have liked if they made a combo system or something. Gonna have to wait for a sale if I pick it up at all.

The only review I need.

8:24 - Uhhh BL has always had damn good music.

They had always great opening songs, no rest for the wicked (cage the elephant), this ain't no place for no hero ( the heavy),black dragon (the vines) and the other stuff

I hated the enchantment system until I learned about the enchantments that modified your action skill. I actually liked those since it wasn't how much damage does it do but rather will this change make my build better?

I’m so pumped for this!!! I’m waiting for all the dlc to come out and then also after I find a ps5 and then I’m going balls deep!!! 🤘🤩🤘

I’m so stoked. I’m off Friday. Gonna be playing all day!

I've been so excited about this game, and holy did it deliver. I loved the environment and I think that it's gearbox's best, and not to mention the music was absolutely the beautiful. The story was good but not exceptional, but I will say it's an improvement from borderlands 3. The dragon lord was also a really good villain and I loved how they did the ending. The game play loop is also soooo addicting and always keeps you on your toes specially with those encounters, not to mention that the multiclassing was a beautiful idea. Only criticism was that the story was way too short and I finished it in one day, but the side missions are super interesting to keep me in the game.

Honestly I’m my opinion I really liked Tina in this game I think this is my personal favorite game with and for Tina

btw you can open the overworld map and fast travel to anywhere

Dog love the video, how do you keep missing that hammer move

Great review, can't wait to pick it up!

Honestly i had low expectations for this game when i heard of it, mostly due to bl3's kinda meh release and the fact that this game took less time to come out that bl3. But im soo glad that i was wrong, i love this game, its already a better game on launch than bl3 was and its just the beginning, i really hope it just keeps getting better over time.

100% love the video. But if you want good melee, trust me, there are tons of builds. I'm a Brr/Claw polyelemental max crit build, as well as a decent melee fighter class. Weapons like the Mage staff, Ragnarok, Fate Breaker, etc all are melee weapons that spawn ranged projectiles of differing elements depending on the weapons, but there are a lot of good melee options that make a focused build, actually really great when paired with a White Rider, Live Wire, Queens Cry, and quite a few other weapons. And believe it or not, the variation even in melee, plus buffs and enchantments make melee quite fun. You also don't have to constantly spam the melee button. You can just hold it, or use a ranged melee for it's infinite projectiles. Melee actually has a lot of thought behind it. Sure it could be a lot better. But aside from Krieg, now melee is a legitimate viable option for those whom are so inclined. With my build, melee helps a lot. It's not my main proclivity, but it helps a lot. Slap a 40% gun damage or elemental damage enchantment on your main melee weapon. Helps a lot. There's more to it than it initially seems.

On the random attacks, thats nothing new for any DnD type game, in Baldurs Gate you were attacked often while travelling

Yeah some of the maps or environmental designs were imo some of the best the Borderlands series did ever put out there. One little grasp I have with the review or many reviews in general is the uselessness of melee weapons. Maybe it depends on the build but I inherited melee attacks as some of the most OP things in the game. They do so much of damage and inflict the enemies with a bunch of elemental dots and so on. Also it was often the best way to deal with the sheer onslaught of enemies the game sometimes throws at you.

Map genie is your friend in collecting things like this. Game seems fun though I'll wait for a real release because us PC players got epicced again and I refuse to give Tim Swiney any money. I also hope there is a class that allows you to have pets cause FL4K was so much fun in BL3

Borderlands 2 Caustic caverns Title screen These two are my favorite ost

12:13 WTF do you mean you didn’t have enough time to test it out…. Nice review

I haven't gotten the chance to play the game yet, but I can't ignore that in videos the hud and the weapon on screen looks a lot like it has been moved downwards comparing to bl3. I can't be the only one seeing this and its just weird.

I had a ton of fun with the game but my biggest critique is that..it’s small, it’s such a short game. 30ish hours in and I’m done. And I don’t just mean the main quest, all the side quests too. Besides collecting collectibles, without New Game Plus, all that’s left for me to do is grind the same Chaos Chambers for better loot. Comparatively, I remember Borderlands 2 feeling seemingly endless with more quests and things to do than I could keep up with. Maybe it’s to fit the narrative of a table top rpg game, but Tiny Tina’s felt lacking in the same depth, richness, and variety of previous ones.

Honestly I would hope that Valentine, frette, ava, and Tina as the main cast of BL 4 would be fun.

I debated where to put this. I think my generic response belongs here. You acknowledge my very argument actually. The issue you think that was resolved was by a child. She lost more than most of us can ever know, thankfully. As much as I love the progression, I don't think this reaction was too out of the ordinary. Perhaps, it just reinforced things, which is awesome because Tina is one of my favorite Borderlands characters. I'm just going to be sad/gamingly emotional if they kill her off in the franchise. Still, if that happens I think she might be the single most developed character in the series. A series that isn't really taking itself seriously. As I said in other comments, I love the takes on things and for what it is worth you have one more sub.

Same. The driving just showed how empty and useless the worlds were and if you got your vehicle blown up it meant running forever.

I wish you went into a bit more detail about the few things I'm really curious about. 1. You said the story was "the same borderlands story you are used to" does that mean the story is as bad as borderlands 3? Or is it more similar to the borderlands 2 story. I personally cannot play borderlands 3 without turning the dialogue to 0 in sound settings because listening to the characters make lame jokes every 2 seconds became unbearable. And I'm hoping they turned down the lol xd so random humor in this game to some degree. 2. How is the loot balancing? Legendary weapons in 3 did not feel special because of how abundant they were. I want to grind for cool, unique legendaries and i want grinding for them to feel like an accomplishment. Does wonderlands tune the rate at which legendaries spawn down? 3. Is there any section of the overworld that acts as a "hub" like sanctuary, where i can hang guns on walls or buy decorations. I actually really liked having a room to decorate in bl3 and wanted to know if that made a return. Or if the only collectables in the game are loot and cosmetics for my character.

First borderlands 3 is significantly better than Tina's Wonderlands. TTWL was a big step backwards for the series, but it was a quarantine game, so I'm willing to cut them some slack. Wonderlands... is just not fun. If you play with a focus on doing all the side-quests, you'll quickly run into a point where, despite scaling with you, you will be underleveled to proceed with the story. Resulting in enemies becoming bullet sponges; dumb bullet sponges. Making combat not so much a challenge as a chore that you just have to endure. There's no real chance you'll fail you just have to go through the motions for long enough. The weapons were all balanced to encourage you to use melee, but melee was never worth it, so you just get ineffective weapons, that don't Handel as well, do as much damage, or travel fast enough to matter, compared to borderlands 3. I found the best CQB weapon I could get my hands on was a sniper rifle. Nothing else could kill fast enough to prevent a charging enemy from hitting me. You know something is incredibly wrong when an average sniper rifle does a shotguns job better than the best shotgun you can find. If there are weapons and loot in wonderland that are worth getting that make the game worth playing it is locked behind several hundred hours of playing, as after several hundred hours applying I certainly haven't found them. It's just not worth it.

It's not a nod to pokemon. It's a dnd thing dude.

This game wasn't a game. It was a BL3 dlc disguised as a full game. No NG+ equals garbage borderlands game. I will say though I think you were wrong about the melee weapons. At least in my experience with the Stabbomancer, melee was overpowered. To the point that I didn't even have to use my guns. If you want to feel like your melee weapon is useful try incorporating a stabbomancer build.

The flamerock refuge theme doesn't play?? 0/10

Your ambiguous criticism clearly has to do with with Roland and Tina's feelings surrounding him yeah? Don't sweat it too much, if BL3 was any example Gearbox hardly considers continuity.

Big disagree on the soundtrack. The previous games including the first have much better music.

19:20 "The gunplay is as good as it's ever been"... Dude... Litterally, what are you talking about? TTWL has awful guns and awful gunplay. It's so much worse than BL3. Guns are weak, inaccurate, slow firing, and just don't perform well. They're balanced around forcing players to uses spells that usually are only 50/50 worth using, or melee weapons that just aren't worth using. For a spell to be able to make up for the damaged nerf that the weapons received, you would need to be firing the spells as often as the weapons but you can't do that. They took the weapons from borderlands 3 Nerfed them and then didn't provide a counter buff. The gunplay is laughably AWFUL.
