BORDERLANDS GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION TROPHY GUIDE SERIES
The Borderlands series has its own brand of humour which is something of an unstable offshoot of late 00s internet meme culture, this means that going back to the original title can be pretty uncomfortable. Her “Amateur YouTuber” way of talking makes my brain switch off as soon as she says “What is up” but from what I gathered, her Father was a vault hunter and his tales of the vaults made her become obsessed with finding them and claiming their power as her own, so she doesn’t take kindly to our band of Vault Hunters and calls us “Vault Thieves” to rile up her Simp horde. Along with her whiney ex-siamese twin brother, Troy, and her power-draining Siren abilities she seeks to become the all-powerful ruler of… everything, I guess? Advertisements Tyreen, Queen of the Simps. Stirring up drama the whole way, however, is new antagonist “Tyreen”, a glorified Twitch Thot who has managed to turn the whole Bandit Legion into her personal army of Simps, known as the “Children of the Vault” or COV for short. Along the way we get caught up in the turbulent tales surrounding the many weapons manufacturers (Maliwan, Atlus, Jakobs, etc) who pretty much rule the world(s) and give us plenty of quests to keep us busy. Together we followed the direction of Lilith – a returning character – with whom we hoped to uncover and raid a few vaults for story purposes I suppose. Regardless, I didn’t want to start over so I stuck to my guns while MrZhangetsu went for the much cooler Amara, a Siren with a seriously sick skillset which proved useful for both of us.
If anything, they just get in the way a lot when I’m trying to pick up loot from the floor.

I went with FL4K because having pets sounded like a very cool ability! However, I do regret it a little because the character is kind of boring and the pets are not as cool as I expected them to be. There are four new protagonists to select from: Pre-existing protagonists make a comeback, showcasing the art style’s improved resolution (PS4 Pro, Prioritise Resolution Mode) Borderlands 3 Review Comic-book actionīorderlands 3 picks up somewhat near the approximate vicinity of where Borderlands 2 left off… Except, with new protagonists and new antagonists – save for a few familiar faces – you’re in for an entirely new tale, meaning that newcomers and existing fans will both find the title just as approachable and enjoyable. Pair that with its quirky sense of humour and the series really stands out as a must-play IP. The series has a fantastic cel-shaded art style which has looked consistently excellent since the very first game, with improvements to resolution over the years only helping to really solidify the style’s aesthetic. I’ve played them all in the past, I loved Borderlands 2 and became obsessed with it back when I worked at Blockbuster and playing Borderlands was the only thing I could think to do besides busting my own block through a wall. A.K.A Shoot and Loot 3: Queen of the Simp LegionĪdvertisements I picked Borderlands 3 up in the Summer Sale and despite never getting around to finishing my other two half-finished Borderlands platinum trophies, I booted up Borderlands 3 and dove in head-first with my trusty side-kick (yes, he is the sidekick) MrZhangetsu tagging along.īorderlands 3 is actually the fourth Borderlands game counting the pre-sequel they released a few years back (fifth if you count the Telltale game which… I don’t).
