I figured out why I love Borderlands 3 so much
So I played BL3 when it first came out & thought it was a good game. Years later, I get the Super Special Borderlands Gold Box Edition (or whatever it’s called) on PS5 with all the Borderlands games & DLC’s for super cheap, $35 I think? So I’ve been playing them all again & loving it, BL3 especially, the environments & DLC’s are just awesome to me, from the main game to the Lovecraftian vibe of Love Guns & Tentacles. So I’m sitting there button mashing away and it hits me: Visuals and Gameplay aside, my favorite thing about Borderlands in the year 2026 as an Adult citizen of the USA with Adult Bills is the fact that I can just find a box with money in it, or an item that I can sell for money, just out there in the world, anywhere at any time. I’m running everywhere from Pandora to Handsome Jack’s Casino like “Maaaan if only it were that simple”. Open a box, $100,000 or $25,000 or Whatever Amount inside, just like that all my Financial Problems, GONE. Playing Mayhem Mode picking up so much random Loot that the counter quit registering the amount, just stuck on “Hey, you’re RICH!” Sitting there with so much in the bank that I’m not even trying to find certain things, to buy or sell, just playing for Love of the Game. Is that what it’s like to have Everything? They say Money can’t buy Happiness, but how would I know? I’ve never had the opportunity to try. I buy games years after they come out because the idea of paying $75 for something that’s gonna be $5-15 in a few years is crazy to me. So I keep playing, & keep having fun with my Robot totin’ Super Soldier, in all the ways Borderlands makes being stuck in a fictional Dangerous Mad Universe fun 😍
