I have accepted reality and not purchased the game.

Thanks for the heads up Bobandy.

Dude is such a tool.

Soooo, is Borderlands 4 cracked yet?

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 day ago

Considering i didn't bother to buy anything borderlands related since Borderlands 2, it will keep preety muchbthe same for me

[-] [email protected] 4 points 1 day ago

Same, got 1&2 on a humble bundle. I remember one running great, and 2 bearable on a 1gb netbook att. Cell shaded games shouldn't be this resource intensive!

The reality is you made a game that few will play for several years. You could have made a game that could be playable on most contemporary machines. You didn't and will now have to suffer from shitty sales due to your inability to understand that the majority of us don't have the money to spend like you do you out of touch clueless ballsack.

Anyone that remembers Aliens: Colonial Marines and Duke Nukem Forever knows that Randy Pitchford is garbage. He also ran off most of the talent behind BL1 and BL2, which is why BL3 writing was shitty.

[-] [email protected] 40 points 2 days ago

The game is grossly overpriced and infected Denuvo malware. Those things are all symptoms of Randy Pitchford being involved. I’ll pass.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 day ago

I wasn't too keen on that $70 basic version price tag in the first place, so thanks Randy. Can't wait for it to be $39.99

I accepted and just didn’t buy it to begin with.

[-] [email protected] 25 points 2 days ago

After the borderlands 3 trainwreck it seems weird that people are apparently buying BL4

Guys who wear bowties are not smart, but desperately need people to think they are.

[-] [email protected] 32 points 2 days ago

Bowties are fine for formal (social) occasions like weddings and parties. Wearing them around every day is weird. Wearing them to work is (generally) weird.

Committing to wearing them everywhere and STILL buying pre-tied ones and not learning how to tie them yourself all while being a mega douche is cringe af.

[-] [email protected] 16 points 1 day ago

Yeah, learn to tie them if you're going to make it part of your personality.

I swear I have no idea why they let him talk. He doesn't even own the company, surely someone at 2K could just go... you know... shush.

I don't even think the BL4 thing is that bad, on the face of it. There is really no need to make it worse.

"We have been made aware of some performance issues in certain systems in our new release, we'll be looking into performance improvements in future patches". It's not that hard. At this point just copy/paste whatever the other thousand UE5 games said, go fix the wonky precompilation boot step and stop digging a hole.

Hell, it's even easier than that, because they have actually pretty much put that out. All he really needed to do was shut up about it.

Of course the borderlands guy would look like that

Out of the loop, is it a AAA game drama?

[-] [email protected] 59 points 2 days ago

Yeah, so it's just the usual

[-] [email protected] 47 points 2 days ago

Apparently the graphics are basically the same as 3, but performance is dog shit on even the best hardware and crashes are unavoidable.

When people complained, he said they need to use AI fake frame and upscale from 720. Which still wasn't good performance.

It might get fixed later in updates. But this guy is handling so badly he might legitimately be mentally unwell. It's at the point it's weird he still has a job

Just your typical Randy drama you get at every BL release.

[-] [email protected] 27 points 2 days ago

At least he didn't punch anyone this time.

[-] [email protected] 41 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Nor did he leave a USB stick containing sensitive design data and camgirl porn at a Medieval Times

Things are looking up for ol' Randy

BL4 is running horribly, even on higher end PCs. I have a 4090 and a decent processor, but only getting 80FPS max with a good few settings on low or off and AI frame gen on (I would rather not, but performance is just that bad).

Sorry I can't hear you Randy. I am playing silksong and after that, I am doing another BG3 playthrough.

A "Pitchford" - the meme of Randall Pitchford always, ALWAYS being an ass. This isn't anything new, just "fresh" again.

[-] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago

They're using a poorly made graphics engine and got scammed into implementing malware into their game.

I have come to accept that this is a PR campaign to plaster the name everywhere all over social media and let it worm its way into currently pissed off gamers' heads for a few months down the line when they've calmed down and inevitably buy the fucking thing.

Pitchford is a slimeball. Rarely has a man who is allegedly not an insurance or used-car salesman given off such nakedly scummy vibes.

We need to stop giving free publicity to this little marketing man, and to this poorly optimised, expensive game.

It's the year of the wealthy personalities who dont keep their mouth shut because they believe they are right and everyone will agree with their points and love them.

Happening right now with Mark Cuban on the NBA side.

I haven't played 4, but I played 1, 2, and a bit of the presequel or whatever it was called. They were essentially all the same game. Run, shoot, run, shoot, hear vaguely off-color joke, run, shoot. Is there any particular reason to bother with an overpriced remake of the same old game? Is there a reason for worrying about 4KUHD textures on a game where the aesthetic is cartoony? If you're a 9 year old who's never played, and it's all on mom's dime, I could see being tricked into buying it by the advertisers, but why is anyone else excited about it?

Welp, that's what I did. Got my money back. I'll buy it when it's $19.99.

[-] [email protected] 19 points 2 days ago

I was going to do that originally but now I'm never playing it.
