My wife and I are fans since the series begun. We have all the titles and DLC and clocked hundreds of hours in Borderlands2 alone.
We totally pre-purchased Borderlands 3. It looked amazing in trailers and sneak peeks.
We finished a 30 minute run on the game and we will drop it... totally unplayable, as the game doesn't support vertical split screen. Each player is left with an horizontal stripe of gameplay that is unsuitable for this genre, because you have to access lots of menus. Text is so small it becomes unreadable. We couldn't follow the action properly, and after 10 minutes, I gave up on the story and tips, just trying to get my bearings. Sound was awful even with a surround system, as voiced content faded away if you are not standing on top of the speaker.
And then... the lag. Each time one of us opens a menu, the game completely stops for bit. Mind that we have a PS4 PRO, and set the game options for performance instead of resolution.
Right now, it's a complete waste of money and time, if you are planning to play it with someone else. I'll stay away from it until they fix it. I don't want to hate it, but they are making it easy...
