Used to work, recently started crashing before the window even opens. Can't figure out how to get the game running no matter what I do.

It's a little too difficult to enjoy. I've played 100 hours and dont have much to show for it, the amount of rat players, extraction campers, and the trolls in general kinda kill the game for me. It seems impossible to get into lobbies where people target large ARC together. If you do find it, a few of them will just try to kill you or anyone else that helped take it down so thry can steal the loot. Even my solo lobbies have been getting worse. I often let people kill me, hoping i can get into friendlier lobbies and it doesn't work. When you spend hours trying to get simple supplies just to be downed every lobby and called racial slurs repeatedly, its ruins the experience. The amount of times ive been killed and called "dumb ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ ******" is astonishing and imediately makes me log off. I love the game, but I've felt stagnant progression wise for the last 30 or so hours I've played and it's killing my interest in it all together.

Can't play with bots because they will always fall off of cliffs and die. Can't play with online players because they make dumb decisions and die. Genuinely frustrating unless you have a group of friends to enjoy it with.

Spent 3 hours cursing from getting spawn killed by snipers and spawning under the map. Battlefield is back baby.

Thoroughly enjoying the gameplay so far, but the game struggles to hit 60fps on medium settings when I'm not moving and I have an rx 6800 xtx paired with a Ryzan 5 5600x. I haven't seen a game with combat performance this bad since Serious Sam 4 released. High settings wasn't that bad either, but my average fps was 49, Cyberpunk with Ray Tracing on runs at higher frames than this. Hoping for more optimization updates because you shouldn't need to have a $1,500 PC to run this game at MAYBE 60 frames. My biggest issue currently is the game is very glitchy at the absolute worst times. Every other mission i try to complete has some kind of bug that makes it not completable and I find myself restarting the game and re-doing fights so that I can turn in the mission. If you try to log back into your save too soon after quitting, the game crashes. These bugs feel preventable yet infect so many parts of the main game.

Relatively fun game, I'm just not very good at it and being paired with enemies that have the power of a thousand suns does not help. Negative K/D, every game is a loss, 20 engineers per game and none of them seem to be using it to take out vehicles, medics don't revive anyone, nobody even plays assault anymore, the only thing that feels like battlefield is recon, but recon never really changes. The open class system ruins the need for any of the classes besides engineer and medic and makes some games way too obnoxious to play, it's not even fun at that point. My number one complaint is the spawn points for certain flags. You spawn out in the open, visible by plenty of enemies and almost never survive the first few seconds of deployment. It's never just one game, it happens repeatedly as many of these maps with poor spawn points are very popular because it's easy to take advantage of them and rack up kills. I have enjoyed every battlefield since Bad Company 2, but this one is really hard to like and even harder to recommend.

One of my favorite boss fights with a tedious pile of fetch quests and escort missions leading up to it. The visual settings look pretty cool and the maps are fun to play on, but the enemies are all low level repeats from the main campaign and the whole thing feels repetitive after the first room. The mini boss and final boss are the highlight of this pack but I still don't know if it's worth trudging through 20 minutes of mediocre arena fighting for a couple of 2 minute boss fights. Though I give this pack a negative review, I do believe It's worth picking up with the season pass if you find it on sale for a few bucks. The other 3 packs just offer a much more enjoyable experience when compared to this one. One last thing to consider, if you can beat Shattering Spectreglass on the 4th difficulty at a high chaos level, It is a VERY rewarding experience.

This is arguably the most frustrating DLC pack for Wonderlands as It's a first person shooter and a bullet hell in one. My least favorite game genre. I genuinely did not like playing through it solo and the only reason i finished it multiple times was to get all the achievements. This one is a tad longer than the other DLC packs and I found myself wanting to quit mid way through my second run. There is a good chance that I was becoming burnt out from trying to beat all the DLC packs in a weekend right after a campaign run. My personal feelings aside, it's not a bad DLC and it definitely contains more content than some of the other packs. It's worth picking up with the season pass for a few bucks on sale.

I recently acquired Coiled Captors when I purchased the Season Pass on sale and I do not regret my decision. It doesn't play like a traditional Borderlands DLC or Headhunter and I would not recommend purchasing it if you want that kind of open world experience. Though I recommend Coiled Captors, I have mixed feelings about its presentation. The new fighting arenas look phenomenal and the final boss has a crazy fun fight on the final difficulty level, but the entire experience feels like it was rushed through or left unfinished. Every area feels like you're replaying parts of the standard campaign because the enemies and set pieces are all re-used from the deep sea levels from the base game. It was my least favorite of the Wonderlands DLCs to play through but I still recommend picking it up if you can find the Season Pass for $5.99 because of the wild boss at the end.

Tiny Tina's Wonderlands has turned out to be one of my favorite games in the Borderlands universe to date. It provides a full 20 hour campaign in the style of the "Assault On Dragon's Keep" DLC from Borderlands 2 and expanded on it in ways that continually surprised me. One of the most prominent improvements in this game was spell books being used to replace grenades and I think it made the game play significantly more fun. The focus on close quarters combat and the importance your melee weapon has in this game creates a more intimate and violent experience. Almost like every character you create is a version of Krieg from Borderlands 2 but tailored to your personal play style. If you can find this game with the DLC for under $20, its definitely worth the experience.
