I think so much attention in the games goes to the Sirens and they never are as interesting as the supporting characters or the Vault Hunters themselves.Īh, the Vault Hunters. In my personal opinion, I have never been a huge fan of the Sirens. Instead, we have a new tweenager full of piss, vinegar and angst called Ava that looks to be a character they are building to lead future installations. She is by far one of the funniest and craziest characters in the series and even though she isn’t as ridiculous (and slightly more existential) than she has been in the past, she is still easily the most entertaining character in the series. She is another cameo and there isn’t nearly enough time with her. Yeah, sure, he’s annoying but when they give him the time of day, he’s hilarious. Even Claptrap was done wrong in this game. There are other cameos from loved characters but mostly that’s all they are: cameos. Even though Ellie shows up throughout most of the game, she’s basically a glorified tour guide showing you how to get to a new planet, and the same goes for Tannis. Ellie, Moxxie, Tannis and Tiny Tina (excuse me, it’s just Tina now ’cause she’s pushing twenty, ya’ll) aren’t showcased nearly as much as they should be. First and foremost is the lack of love for some of the best characters in the franchise. But let’s look at the things we didn’t really like about the game before we get to what we love. The game isn’t perfect by any means but overall, yes Borderlands 3 deserves the hype it was given. You are tasked to find a Vault map that the COV has and once you get that, you find yourself bouncing from planet to dale finding key pieces, doing side quests and collecting more weapons than you can shake a stick at. You play as a Vault Hunter who joins the Crimson Raiders, which is led by the Siren, Lilith. Seven years after the end of Borderlands 2, a cult called Children of the Vault (COV) has formed being led by twins (sure, why not) Troy and Tyreen Calypso, aka the Calypso Twins and they seek The Great Vault. The answer to that is a little complicated and before we get to it, let’s run down what Borderlands 3 is actually about. But this isn’t about Borderlands, this is about Borderlands 3, so why did I tell you that story? Maybe you should stop asking so many questions…*ahem* The hype for the game was real and fans had waited for a really long time but was it worth the wait? And then we got to the final boss and the creature knocked me out of the battle zone and instead of waiting for me or coming to help me, my friend took the LAST WINNING SHOTS at the creature from the vault, claiming the victory and I have never forgiven him for that. I played with my friend and we worked as a great team throughout the entire game, sharing ammo and weapons. I remember playing the very first Borderlands on Xbox 360. Platforms: PlayStation 4, Xbox One (version reviewed), Google Stadia, Microsoft Windows After waiting SO many years, we finally get to play Borderlands 3 but a long wait means a lot of hype.
