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.
You know, I specifically remember the first having an awful port and they made an advertising campaign about how the second would be better for PC. Guess that’s done.
It’s almost like this hasn’t happened for the last several Borderlands releases. Like people just keep forgetting the company lies and produces sub-optimal trash at launch.
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.

Today, the gremlin told console players to quit and restart the game, as a fix for the performance drop the longer you play.
Don’t play you say? Sure.
Don’t make things the public consumes if you can’t take criticism
not to play? lol, not to buy. I’ll pick it up in a few years when it’s on sale for a few bucks like all the other gearbox games.
Might be the most insufferable Dev in the industry.
It’s a tossup between him and Tim Sweeney
Nah, Sweeney at least has good takes every now and then, can’t remember any from this guy
Sure, I won’t play.
Has he accepted what was on his USB that was found?
This Randy fellow is sure good at public relations.

That’s… a bold stance

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.
