Pretty much lol

I’m also surprised Gearbox hasn’t made a official statement about this yet. BL3 users score is low on Metacritic. Maybe our voices will be heard by reviewing it over there too.

I will be as well on Sunday if no patch is released for the split screen.

@Gearbox The Co-op Council has spoken! We demand an official response! …Please and thank you

But seriously, how was this overlooked? Did YOU even play the game split screen before releasing it?

Look at how many hearts have been broken. How many eyes have been burned. How many heads you made ache!

All we’re asking for is what was promised to us, a badass co-op experience, that you have provided in the past… over and over again. What changed this time? Who got to you? It was activision wasn’t it? Tsk tsk tsk.

Look, we’re all just upset because we were super excited for this, and we wanna play that which we have all been waiting for for so long.

Same issues here on PS4. Super disappointed after being so hyped for this game for so long. I hope they patch it soon, it’s unplayable in co op mode the game looks so promising too aside from these issues, which adds insult to injury since we can’t even play together

Yes please. My girlfriend and I were primed to play all weekend, as we loved BL1 and 2. I just tested the splitscreen before she gets off work, and I’ll have to tell her the game is currently unplayable. very unfortunate. Not even sure if I’ll play solo now…I wanted to experience the story with her first.

Borderlands 3 Team Acknowledges Split-Screen Issues, Has No Plans for...

Co-op gameplay is at the core of Borderlands 3 just as it was in past games, and like before, [...]

Apparently Gearbox has no plans to add vertical splitscreen? Why, why would they not just have it in the first place in a game that is known for its couch co-op?!

Same here: My spouse and I have played every borderlands game and DLC and always with vertical split. I have a widescreen tv and it works great. Even with a 65" screen, the horizontal is unplayable. Characters and details are too small and text is completely unreadable. Wondering if we can get a refund for an unplayable game at this point. We buy Borderlands specifically for the couch coop options because so few games have this option. I’ve never been so disappointed after waiting years for a game. Gearbox, this absolutely has to be fixed. Did you even playtest the horizontal option and try to read any of the menu text?

Source on this comment for no planned vertical? The article doesn’t mention where this was stated.
If this is accurate, I guess I’ll be refunding.

Incredible. Just picked my copy up from the mailbox after coming home from work. Might just send that psycho back through the fast travel system. No thank you. How to kill your franchise and alienate people 101.

When asked if there was a chance a vertical split option would be added, the 2K representative said “there are no plans to add vertical split-screen at this time.” (https://comicbook.com/gaming/2019/04/04/borderlands-3-ps4-xbox-pc-split-screen/).

I truly hope they change their stance on this soon or I will be returning the game. Couch co-op was the only reason I purchased BL3 in the first place.

secondhandsmoke713 · 2019-09-13T22:58:30.234Z

That’s the most ridiculous thing I’ve ever read. If that’s the case they can expect a refund out of me too

Shunnedfish · 2019-09-13T22:59:54.251Z

If that’s true then they’ve ■■■■■■ us off entirely. The game is improved in so many ways but I’d honestly of preferred it all as bl2 dlc

Audeamus604 · 2019-09-13T23:01:04.636Z

I can’t find any source on that comment, and searching google for that result only hits back to the article page. I believe that it is a false quote.

MrChipsMeridian · 2019-09-13T23:08:41.439Z

If Gearbox is anything like the internet (I wish), there’s no faster way to get the right answer than give the wrong one.

If we dont get a right answer, that is the right answer.

noodle_the_homicidal · 2019-09-13T23:09:34.223Z

How is this a thing? And how did a developer say they have no plans to add it? It’s almost unplayable on widescreen tv’s. And who the heck doesn’t use a widescreen tv in 2019?

nerdsplease · 2019-09-13T23:11:58.675Z

secondhandsmoke713:

Why did they even think it would be a good idea to horizontal split only? That doesn’t even make sense…massive disappointment for standing in line at Gamestop with a bunch of nerds for an early release.

I lol’d pretty hard at this comment, because this was the EXACT same situation my wife and I had (the GameStop line-up and disappointment part). WHY, GEARBOX… WHY?!

raventemplar · 2019-09-13T23:13:20.711Z

The problem; even if that is a false quote, there has been no other response from Gearbox or 2K at all. So, either we’re being ignored by them not planning to fix it or they’re not listening to us and responding. Either way, it’s a crap way to treat fans who are so passionate about this game.

a301i · 2019-09-13T23:21:25.285Z

The article that was posted is from April and doesn’t even mention vertical split screen.

Complete garbage that they haven’t even acknowledged this still
