Guns, Love, and Symbols, a great update yesterday Borderlands 3, it focuses on gay marriage on an unknown planet. While that's a good thing in itself, some of the expansion is pretty good, it adds new senses with a bunch of cool new guns and what the series & # 39;
Guns, Love, and Symbols uses the actor's Vault Hunter for a visit to Xylourgos for the wedding of the game's hunter Alistair Hammerlock and the salty aristocrat Wainwright Jakobs. These tests were mocked the last time Borderlands 3, and now the great day has finally arrived for these two favorite characters. Accompanying the player Gaige, a former actor from Borderlands 2 now older and more intelligent in her new role as wedding planner.
Borderlands has had some of the best LGBTQ + presentations in AAA games, and that continues Guns, Love, and Symbols. It treats Alistair and Wainwright as real people who strive to find their differences despite discovering the obvious holes that make up their bulk. The humor focuses on the stupidity that often comes with planning a complicated wedding regardless of the participants' sex. Finally, no groom is dead, which is always integrated.
The area of Xylourgos is very different than what we have seen Borderlands prior to this extension. The large (and dead) site known as Gythian serves as a central location, and citizens have built a city directly under its corpse. Gythian is an ever-present feature of space and nature, with edges stretching both literally and figuratively throughout the vast desert of the world. Xylourgos is also covered in darkness due to the constant sunlight, a faint white light that throws an eerie blue-green hue over the scenery.
Guns, Love, and Symbols borrows much from the works of science fiction writer H.P. Love, most remembered by her racism as she is her default mark in horror writing. The first work in the expansion, "The Party Out of Space," is a reference to "The Color Out of Space," a short story published by Lovecraft in 1927. Gythian is an obvious symbol of Lovecraftian deities such as Cthulhu and Azathoth. The great power of opposition to the religion that worships the Gythian heart as part of the rituals of supernatural love. There are even NPCs who believe he is a “The Shadow Over Innsmouth” fisherman and asks the player to lower the frozen pond to meet his fish queen.

Humor is a big part of Borderlands, again Guns, Love, and Symbols is not going well, let's say efforts in joke. Occasionally, like the fishman mission, they hit the mark, but for every success there are at least two or three failures. Gaige was one of my favorite characters in the Borderlands 2 due to his insistence on being a teenager after a science project went wrong, but we were reduced to producing annoying liners such as cheap Tiny Tina. Wow, do you say "margs" instead of margaritas? That's wonderful! And if you miss this human character for the first time, don't worry – the writers are trying to make it universal throughout that country.
That little complaint aside, there's still a lot of heart inside Guns, Love, and Symbols. After a bad visit to the bridal area, Wainwright Jakobs has an evil spirit who intends to make Wainwright his next ship. This obviously puts a lot of pressure on wedding plans, and it is up to the Vault Hunters to get rid of Xylourgos rubbish to put things right. By the time it arrives, it becomes clear that both Alistair and Wainwright have doubts about marriage. Both grooms are worried that they are not ready for the other, and their confrontation with this doubt provides a genuinely fascinating background to the supernatural conspiracy that lies ahead of the narrative.
As with the rest of the series, Borderlands 3 is not a game known for its bizarre fighting. Usually they go something like this: a big bad guy comes out and shoots them to death. Of course, different things like weak points and multiple stages tend to work, but players often know what to expect in this encounter. Guns, Love, and Symbols sets itself out of the ordinary Borderlands experience by providing a combatant who feels challenging, compelling, and rewarding.
Almost in the middle of adolescence, the worst victim of a slave known as the Empowered Scholar. At first, he looks like normal Borderlands boss, but then he gets new skills that make him very difficult to fight. The player can use natural pieces in creative ways; fighting requires jumping and deception in advance. I am not proud to know that I have died at least half a dozen times as I studied the Empowered Scholar's patterns. He never felt defeated or cheap, and it makes a nice change from victory Borderlands managers with great power. Reducing the Empowered Reader sounds like an accomplishment, at least more than anything other developers have lost to players over the last decade.
Guns, Love, and Symbols is one of the funniest romps I've ever had Borderlands The series has since paid off in 2009. Guns are satisfying, love stories sound logical and respected, and tabernacles can add great fun. That's all I wanted to Borderlands 3 stretch, and I can't wait to spend more time in the Xylourgos looking for a good gear.
