I love Borderlands, but I really wish Randy would just shut the fuck up.

How does someone with such a shitty personality and dress sense get so smug?

If I looked and acted like him I would want to punch myself in the face

So a 4070 is a leaf blower to this asshole.

Well I'll gladly not buy this game then.

Considering Randy REALLY wants you to pay $130 USD for this game, I'm not shocked his performance advice was "be less poor"

Hot take, Borderlands was never really a good franchise. Yeah I played through the second game, but i did so once, and never wanted to return to it afterwards.

A game that looks like BL4 shouldn't run like Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing turned on.

Dude really felt the need to insult his customers. He could have said it’s a premium game for premium machines, but instead he decided he wanted to insult people who can’t play it and suggest they are less than the premium people who can.

2K needs to get this nut away from the mic.

That's nice, he is kind enough to tell us that we should not buy his game if we do not have a monster gpu. He is only excluding a very small portion of gamers after all !

Let's look at the Valve's hardware survey.

Wait...

Maybe try optimizing your game before releasing it?

So… I shouldn’t plan on playing this on a Steamdeck when it gets down to $19.99?

In other words:

"We don't want to put resources towards optimising our product. We don't care if the methods we built our product with make it more difficult to use, while regressing in several key visual aspects. The burdon of our shortcomings will be placed on the end user, who will have to spend their resources to out-power them."

It's sad that a lot of devs just make their game and then slap frame-gen on it and then release it. Like who cares about optimization. Not that I blame them, people still buy those games full-priced, so...

It's poorly optimized UE5 slop. Looks like shit, plays like shit.

Hard pass.

I guess I'm not premium enough to give you my money, Randy.

Sucker game made for sucker gamers.

Are you inclined to blame yourself for the obvious failings of a gaming corporation? Smash that buy button now!

I'll play something cheaper then

borderlands

premium

lol

lmao

rofl

I am a premium gamer; if you want me to play your premium game, you'll need to subscribe to me for $29.99/month or $324/year (that's a 10% discount from the month to month!)

Nah I’m not gonna pay $80 for unoptimized copy-paste spyware my man thanks

Is Borderlands really all that popular still? Like I remember seeing the first few games everywhere, and people talking about them, but that was years ago. I realize I'm biased but I would expect to hear something about them...

I guess I will stick to my "non-premium" games made by devs who actually care about providing experiences worth experiencing, instead of a checklist-driven, committee designed and overpriced games that are most AAA games.

I was planning on picking up B4 when the GOTY edition goes on sale for $20-30 couple years from now. I figured performance issues will be solved by then. Now I think I'll pass.

I played lots of borderlands 2 with my friends back in the day it was pretty fun.

Three came out, played it for a bit, but it was just more of the same and somehow worse. Then I watched that God awful movie.

I think I'm over the franchise, but maybe here in a few years I'll pick it up for $5 in a summer sale.

Bought it to try n Linux. I don't have the greatest video card but I can play Dune: Awakening, Helldivers 2, Monster Hunter Wikds, Avowed, Black Myth: Wukong...

Borderlands 4 was stuttering on the barely animated character select. I lowered settings all as low as possible and it was still unplayable with delayed/missed input and stuttering.

I'm so sick of bad performance from all the big engines these days. Even unity makes simple 2d games chug.

I haven't played more than about 30 minutes of a Borderlands game. But from clips I have seen of all of them over the years, they all look exactly the same. Sounds to me like it's just a poorly optimized game, as is standard for new AAA slop releases.

Only PCVR titles can even approach saying such things without looking like jerks. And even then, it’s probally counter productive.

An example, for those curious, is Microsoft Flight Simulator.

How tf do companies get to say this shit and still be in business?? Are there that many people who just blindly bend over and take it?? Don't people have standards anymore?

You need to have $500 gpu to hit 60fps with 1080p native, this is hilariously bad.

They toned down the humor, which imo wasn't the problem they needed to write better jokes, and write better villains.

The entire plot feels like an extra long side mission which is basically, "Go Rescue Lilith." They have been teasing something "big" is coming and that they need to prepare for war since the pre sequel. We have gotten now two new main installments, two "tales", and a fucking spin-off since then. Yet they still keep teasing this "big" thing. I wish they'd move the narrative along already.
