Randy Pitchford has continued his social media push to address complaints about the performance of the PC version of Borderlands 4, telling some disgruntled players they can get a Steam refund if they’re unhappy with the game.
I’ve never understood the massive success of this game franchise. I understand the appeal and that many people find it fun, but it’s just never been all that great, IMO. There are so many much better titles out there. I’m guessing it’s early success plus huge advertising budget and/or paid-for reviews.
I like them, personally, and there’s absolutely nothing else that scratches the “I want to play Borderlands” itch. The quality varies a lot by the game, though.
I’m in the same boat. And borderlands is way better than destiny 2 in my opinion. I really love the gameplay of 3 and 4. I can see myself easily getting my money’s worth out of it.
I’ve never really understood the comparisons between Destiny 2 and Borderlands, honestly. I like both but my brain puts them in very different boxes. Same thing with Warframe.
It’s very easy to mess up imo, or people are pickier with them (or both). Warframe clicked with me, but playing BL2 I just wanted to complete the story as fast as possible and get out. Hard to pinpoint without playing both side by side.

I kinda think there might just not be a lot of good looter-shooters out there. I remember looking for others to play and not having much success.

Yeah, I mean the graphics, story, and characters are nice.
But the gameplay is so boring when just about every enemy is a bullet sponge and they keep respawning every time you walk between 2 places.
Yup. The rapid respawn stinks of lazy level designs. Respawning can be OK when done right.
