    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.

      I adored the presequel, did so many interesting things. The verticality, stomp attacks and oxygen masks were awesome. Also the low grav meant the maps could be way more varied and interesting.

      Waited for the reviews for the third (never pre-order, always wait for reviews!) and it just seemed so… mid. Definitely happy I dropped out of that franchise when I did.

    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.

    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.

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

    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 just got a new GPU, and they gave me a coupon for the game for free. My system should be able to run it great, but I’m not even sure how good it actually even is. All the reviews I see all look like paid reviews or early access folk, or people that claim to love it to justify their overpriced rigs.

    I loved 1 and 2, and then the series went downhill for me. Now I guess I have 4 but might wait a while to play it because I know a ton of patches are coming. Besides, there are a ton of other great games on my backlog that I’d much rather play with my limited free time.

    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.

      From my experience graphics doesn’t matter much in VR if FPS is fine. You can play HL Alyx on a what was sometime ago affordable gpu and get almost the same experience as with 5900.

        You made this statement by using the most optimized high end VR title in existence. And the creators of the game their own engine!

        Graphics do matter. That’s why you cited Alyx. Right? Because the game is impressive in many ways, graphics being a really big one. Graphics in VR have generally stagnated for the past 5 years since Alyx came out.

        Graphics are why the interactions with bottles in that game are so impressive. Just to highlight one small thing.
