Borderlands 3 Ultimate Edition Review Cons:

• You will still get notifications and pop-ups about buying the Pandora Box version in every game despite owning it.
• The humor of Borderlands is very childish and it can get very grating in the shooter games.
• It is very easy to feel overwhelmed with all the quests and events popping up.
• The mission markers or guidance in general are not always clear or helpful.
• With so many guns it is hard to get to grips with one in particular.
• A lot of guns are actually not that great.
• Long initial load each time, a good 3 to 5 minutes.
• All the DLC is a seperate download adding an additional 10 GB.
• No touchscreen support.
• The driving takes some getting used to.
• Few ugly textures in places.
• The graphics do look a bit blurry.
• Detail pops in after time.
• Slowdown happens and it can be when you aim down sights or when explosions go off.
• There is a ridiculous amount of everything from encounters to enemies to loot to space. It may sound good but it gets too much and dampens the thrill of loot.
• The general. The gameplay is not as snappy as it needs to be and is with the other versions.
