Phew, Borderlands has come back with a bit of a bang recently, hasn't it? With the official announcement of Borderlands 3 after what feels like a lifetime of waiting, everyone seems to have gone mad for Gearbox's lootin' shootin' adventures. Even the original Borderlands has resurfaced as a PlayStation 4 remaster, which, out of context, seems crazy.
But with so much excitement surrounding the brand right now, we need to know: are you a big Borderlands fan? Have you played through the series before, or are you only just getting into it now that Borderlands 3 is on the horizon? How excited are you for the third main instalment? Vote in our polls, and then feed us some honest opinions in the comments section below.

Tried Borderlands 2 again - really not my thing. That said, it doesn't run at all well on the Vita - but nothing about the style or presentation grabbed me if I'm honest.
Easiest poll to date! 😜 HYPE! HYPE! HYPE!
Never played. Not really interested, but happy for those who are.
Tales from the Borderlands is missing!
I would have voted for Tales from the Borderlands if it was there.
@AdamNovice exactly me too! Strange enough it was the Telltales game which piqued my Borderlands interest.
I do like the humour, graphics and game play of the first two; but the endless number of guns just ended up annoying me. I can't suspend my disbelief in a world where high tech weapons are so prolific as to be disposable. And apparently there are even more guns in the next game. Not for me.
I've never played a proper Borderlands game, but I played Tales from the Borderlands a couple of years ago and absolutely adored it; it's probably my favourite Telltale game. The return of some of the characters from that game may be enough to sway me, but I need to do more research into what the gameplay of the mainline games is
I'm indifferent to the series. I like its style and sense of humor, but the gameplay is not my thing. Borderlands 3 looks interesting, but I'm very skeptical about it since 2K and Gearbox have zero shame about exploiting players. I'd bet money on one or two big controversies surrounding the game at launch.
My favorite game in the series is actually Tales from the Borderlands. I wish Telltale had made a sequel to it before they bit the dust.
BL3 is my most anticipated ps4 release for the rest of the year (at least what we know about). 2 is far and away the best for me, 1 is a classic and the Presequel is largely forgettable . Really looking forward to the next one!
It’s my favorite series, and I’m very hyped for 3
+1 in the "Tales From The Borderland was great" camp.
I've never played much of the main series though as shooters aren't often my thing but I am tempted to get stuck into one someday.
I have pre-ordered the Super Deluxe Version so I guess Borderlands is alright....
Tales from the borderlands is easily my favourite in the franchise
Not me. I'm not a big fan looter shooters, so Borderlands isn't my kind of game.
Never tried one. Or any other looter shooter, for that matter.
I'm not necessarily opposed to the idea, but there are a lot more interesting games to play than there is time to play them, so I have to prioritize.
Not massively hyped for it, not decided if I'm getting it yet.
Played all 4 games solo, but only completed 2 and Tales. 2 is my fave.
Was playing number 2 again last night to check out the visual upgrade. Cant wait for number 3 to get my proper loot shoot fix.
No and no.
Now get off my lawn.
Obviously hyped for Borderlands 3 just hoping that this game will have less glitches than BL2 because thanks to that I can't get the platinum trophy with the heal plz challenge glitch
Already booked the week off work, have the game pre-ordered and just need to see who of my friends are going to nerd it out solid for a week with me
Im in a big minority lol. Its close but I prefer the first. It was so fresh and daunting when it dropped. 2 made some refinements (and added some color lol) and i normally think most great ideas take a second interation to be at their best (this is no exception there either). But the first just nailed so many ideas and meshed so well i fell hard. First time i went to catch a ride or heard clap trap beat box was pretty memorable. Especially with the wife (then girlfriend) beside me with a controller in hand and cold beer lol. BL2 was BL1 on steroids but that damn nostalgia gets me on this one big time!
Yes to all three, even the second question which isn't a yes/no question. I'm so hyped I don't even care about the rules of the Q&A, that's how hyped I am
BL2 was one of the best PS+ freebies at the end of the PS3 lifecycle. I played plenty of the DLC and got through to Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode.
Tales From the Borderlands was a brilliant Telltale game. The Pre-Sequel was good but not BL2 levels.
I have the handsome collection on ps4 and pc. I just love the game so much.
Borderlands 2 is brilliant and still the best looter shooter I've played, currently doing a new playthrough with the new updates and it looks great and still plays excellently. I'm really looking forward to number 3 but I'm definitely having my head turned by Rage 2
No. I am interested in Rage 2 though.
@Nyne11Tyme BL1 is a little rough to go back and play now, but I really do hope that BL3 is more in the style of 1 than 2. Pre-sequel was so in love with its dialogue that it literally made you sit in rooms with nothing to do listening for minutes at a time on multiple occasions. 1 had a great lonely western atmosphere - you (and maybe a partner) against an unforgiving world. 2 made the series a meme-fest where you never have a moment of quiet. Still a great game, but feels super-dated in 2019.
played a lot of the original borderlands, and even got the platinum. didn't finish 2, though to be fair it had a lot of good dlc (as did the first one) and i got sidetracked on it, and other games came along and i never did finish the main story. didn't play the prequel, but bought the handsome collection and got a bit bored of it replaying borderlands 2 (so twice i didn't finish it). i'm interested in BL3, but my enthusiasm will depend on whether it is just more of the same or not.
I'm well up for a B3. I loved the first game but failed to get big into Borderlands 2. However, I've started playing it again recently as Gaige and I'm loving it. Boop!
I enjoyed the first Borderlands,loved the second but like a few here Tales from The Borderlands was my alltime favourite...I'd be over the moon for a sequel to that one...
But am I excited for Borderlands 3?ohhh yes...
I actually never beat any of the games. I only own Borderlands 2 on Steam as my friends pressured me to get it with them all the way back in high school. I played through maybe 20% of the game with them but then we just kind of stopped. It was fun but I'd like to play through the entire series alone and pay attention to the story this time. Might pick up the Handsome Collection and the original re-release sometime this summer to play them on my PS4 in 4K with the new updates!
Borderland 2 is one of the most entertaining games I ever played.... I finished the whole campaign plus dlc with my gf on couch...coop
I like Borderlands. Played a good chunk of the first game in co-op with a friend. I did finish the first game.
Then the second game came along and I played a good chunk of it solo, only dabbled into co-op with my friend here and there. I don't think I finished it though.
That's it. Never played the Pre-Sequel or any of the telltale games. I'm curious on seeing what the 3rd game brings to the table and if I want to PO it or wait until a sale in the future.

I'll wait for it to hit $14.99. It's an alright series with friends.
Tales from the borderlands is the peak
Yes i'm ready, yes i'm ready
For Borderlands 3
For Borderlands 3
For Borderlands 3 , right now.
As somebody who has enjoyed all Borderlands games/DLC, etc, I can truly state, as a British man, that I'm not hyped, but instead, moderately interested. Stiff upper lip 'n all that. Toodle pip.
I only played Borderlands 2 and really liked it, probably is one of my favorite FPS.
Tales From the Borderlands is awesome too.
Borderlands 3 is day one for me.
@RustyBullet how was the visual upgrade
I am playing on a different platform, but yeah sweet man. But after all this time it's still fun to play.
Just coming to the end of my Borderlands 2 TVHM run then I'll be moving on to my first playthrough of the Pre-Sequel. Should have the platinum for both around the time BL3 drops!
Well I was going to say, "is your next poll, 'Do you like video games'?" because that is one dull question. But 50+ comments would indicate it's what the people want.
No interest in any way.
It's a very good game. I enjoyed my play-through of first and second, completed all the DLCs and all but I never felt it was an instant classic like most claim it to be. Just didn't fully strike a chord with me I guess.
Enjoyed the first game, but was late playing it, and went more or less straight into the second, which meant I got a bit burnt out and tired of it and never finished it. Haven't bothered with the series since, and I don't see number 3 changing that if I'm honest.
Heck yeah! Can’t Wait!
I am hyped but the prices and all the editions put me off.
I loved Borderlands 2 but when’s the last time Gearbox made a great game? Colonial Marines and Duke Nukem Forever really tarnished their reputation in my eyes, and Battleborn got crushed by Overwatch. It would be quite a comeback!
I think I've bought BL2 like 4 times by now. I do have to say, I don't like BL2 as much as the other two. To me, it feels like there's just so much down time in 2 compared to others. The DLC in 2 is amazing though!
