Its good for 15, but I'm sure humanity would be fine if it was never made though.

But you don't need to play tales to know who they even are, at no point do they ever reference they are even from that game let alone how the ending was ever resolved. The atlas conflict would still occur even if you never played Tales.

They are side characters like all the new once they added to BL3, Fiona literally just shows up in a post credit scene at the end of tales having little to do with New tales

I also never TTW had any impact on BL3's plot everyone knows its a side game. While the guns function in a D&D setting the core function of each like BL3 still remains.

What does a level limit have to do with anything, you can mix skill trees in past games this game just has you take 1 from 6 or 7 classes leaving 2 skill trees to mess with in total. Only new thing is spells replacing grenades and thats it. Eriduim didn't exist in Bl1 or pre-sequel(At least as a currency). Again never stated the plot of it had anything to do with Bl3 only the mechanics and gameplay introduced in BL3 and loot drops like BL. You are focused on plot which after 3 hardly anyone wants to look at anymore.

Hmmm. I think you're misunderstand me and we're getting off track. Let me clarify a few points and see if that helps...

1. I'm stating that Wonderlands is a reference to DnD set in the Borderlands setting, yet it is not a Borderlands game. The developers have stated that it is not a Borderlands game in articles.

2. My opinion is that I enjoyed the gags, references, and storyline greatly. And part of that joy came from how the game relates so accurately to my experiences playing TTRPGs with friends and family.

3. My theory is that, based on the criticisms of the game from others in this thread, maybe the gags and references aren't as relatable if you don't have experiences playing DnD with a group of people IRL.

And I suspect that I'm misunderstanding you as well. Do you think you could clarify what is bothering you about my opinion and/or theory?

I really am enjoying it. Everything doesn't have to be a duplicate of the other BL games for me. The fantasy DnD aspect is a lot of fun.

Well said. I didn't care for the Chaos dungeon, but I have replayed the game 4 times with different builds, and only really started getting tired of playing it on the last playthrough. But that just became a jumping off point for DnD. 😊 I'm running 2 games now, helped my son start up his game, and am playing in another game. So I'm booked. 😅

But I imagine I'll be back online to help other players get through their storyline soon enough.

I like to try alot of different builds, but with wonderlands getting the correct armor is just a pain, like you need to get the correct primaly and secondary classes on a armor and then you need to get the correct special effect on legendary armor, which can end up to a 1 in 200+ chance to get the correct armor for your build, but then you want the correct mods on there and correct skill points in the classes and I'm not finished yet, then you got chaos lvl and the very low drop chance of like 15% for most loot specific bosses.
While in previous bl games you had 1 classmod without variable legendary mods (except elemental effects).

the game was fine. would of been nicer with writing but everything else was fine. i enjoyed it tbh but i have to agree the dlc was a joke

I'm with you. I loved the game. And I loved the story. And I especially loved the voice acting. 😊

The 40 level limit and limited replayability bothered me a little at first, but I've come to appreciate the level limit as it forces creative build strategies.

I think it's important to keep some perspective. This was built remotely, during lockdown. It wasn't originally intended to be its own full-sized game, but as it took on a life of its own it became what it is today.

This game was imaginative, beautiful, emotionally rewarding, hilarious, satisfyingly violent, and a delightful homage to my favorite TTRPG. I really look forward to the sequel in 2026.

you must be new to gaming.

Not sure what that has to do with anything, but no. Assuming we're talking specifically about video games, I've been gaming since 1983 on both console (Atari 2600) and PC (286 IBM clone). I've played on multiple platforms (console, PC, Mac, tablet, portable, and mobile) over the decades, and even got to alpha-test some games and co-wrote scripts for a couple of indie games. I've also played text-based games and PbP games (which I'm counting because they still happened online on a computer 😄).

But my resume shouldn't matter. Enjoying something (as long as you're not hurting anyone in the process) is a good thing. And whether you're new to gaming, or been at it for a few decades like me, the joy you get from it is equally valid. It's certainly not something to deride or mock.

Review

This game is great! Movement feels good, Great story, and gun-play feels good. Really enjoying all the secret spots for loot. The loot is not the best. found 2 legendary's and I'm lvl 30. Not sure if it's because i'm not playing the hardest mode. Did not like how it's only 40 lvl's should be 80. other than that great game. Let's keep it to the classic borderlands though 2k. borderlands 2 story and dlc's was the best we all know that. Would not mind maps like this though. Love this series. Been playing them forever now. Hope to see the next game more massive than borderlands 3, Unless its a pre sequel to bl3 that would be nice also.

Personally i hated it because of the Deadpool Facebook humor like goats, murder, and waffles together in the same sentence. So quirky wow!

I also hated how linear and bland the game was compared to every other borderlands which were already incredibly linear but at least you could explore a little bit. Tiny Tina has ZERO exploration, the combat is a chore because everything in the game is a bullet sponge. Even comparing weapons to others as you pick them up makes no sense. They all have different stats that end up being the exact same gun when you boil it all down.

Borderlands fans hate everything when its new. BL1 hit and established a base, then when BL2 came out it took a few months for the core audience to move over to it - remember the "This game has to much story. I am always interrupted, 3/10" fan reviews at launch? TPS came out and it was considered absolute garbage for YEARS and now its "A hidden gem!" and "A real shame that it didn't get more content". 3 Was considered the worst the series had ever been when it came out and about a year later the fan base changed its mind and now "Its has the weakest narrative but the strongest game play wise!" and you are even starting to see people say the story is under-rated (gotta lol at those people tho).

Wonderlands got the same fate. "BARE BONES" "bad story and weak use of property" when it came out but now we are in the "Its just disappointing, but there is a lot there" phase we've lived through before.

The fandom of the series destroys games then buys them when they are 10-15 bucks and acts like "Wow, we all missed this hidden gem!", its honestly really strange because we all know this is how it works at this point.

Premium you just show up and act like you understand when it’s obvious you don’t. This issue with TPS is that players expected an improvement on 2. That expectation was setup on them not the devs.

Not a single person ever had an issue with the plot of bl2 so stop projecting that narrative.

Everyone who played bl3 at launch said the gameplay was great no one ever claimed otherwise the plot was and is bad and gets in the way of the narrative.

TTW outside if the setting(which was already done in bl2 dlc) and spells is a downgrade in terms of class/builds, weapon manufacture, content, dlc and lack of ng+. If a new game ever released that view would not change.
