Performance ‘Our Top Priority,’ Gearbox Says

Really? I thought we were to either suck it up or move on… I moved on

All he had to say was “we are working on it, in the meantime, use some frame gen, or bump your res down. Our bad”. But no, he had to be a dick about it.

I’ll check it out when it’s under $5. At this rate, maybe next year’s winter sale? I have a rig that is reportedly already able to play it but I don’t pay full price, ever. Even games I really want, and this ain’t it.

It’s not just stutters but also just general poor performance in the open world, such that I get about half the frame rate I would expect to see on high settings without frame gen. I wouldn’t be surprised if the optimizations here are like what happened with Assassin’s Creed: Unity where there was a bunch of detail that got sanded off of the world map in places that a player should never actually see it anyway.

…but I thought performance was fine, why would something fine be their top priority? Pitchford couldn’t possibly have been talking out of his ass, could he?

But I already started making my own game engine!

Soooo, is Borderlands 4 cracked yet?

Dude is such a tool.

Countdown to him getting fired in 3…2…3…4…8…49…

Because companies ultimately seem to love leaders that are toxic these days.

I could be wrong, but doesn’t he own the company?

SkunkWorkz,

He wasn’t the only founder and Embracer bought them in 2021. Later TakeTwo acquired the studio when Embracer had to restructure. They operate under 2k now so he can most surely be fired.

Also probably why he is even more of a cocky cunt nowadays. He already cashed out.

Mortoc,

I worked for Take-Two. The bankers that run that company absolutely see the world the way Randy does. Fuck’em.

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

Zanathos,

Why stop there? Pretty sure BL3 was free at some point recently.

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

YiddishMcSquidish,

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!

tio_bira,

I still have my physical PC copy for the first Borderlands, it sounds almost a whole different world when i read 512mb vram recommended on the specs…

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

abcdqfr,

What french fuckin year is it where ANYONE feels the NEED to wear a bowtie?! You can just wear your boxers as a neckerchief if you like…

OmegaMan,

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.

sugar_in_your_tea,

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

Finally, someone agrees with me on the fucking bow tie thing.

Love the tie. Wear the tie. Talk about the tie. If you can’t tie the tie but you do the first 3, I can’t respect you.

I present to you bill nye as a counter argument

itsprobablyfine,

Honestly, I think he might actually fall into the category of cares more about appearing smart than being smart. Not to say he’s dumb, but I do get the sense the reputation is very important to him

treesapx,

Celebrities with distinct looks almost by definition have to be exceptions to this discussion. Wearing a giant clock necklace to work would absolutely be weird unless it were Flavor Flav.

i think it’s more about him having gotten used to it when he played a character on a children’s programme. he also has the face for it, which randall does not.

He's looking like the Anti-Gaben Newell in that picture there.

ModernRisk, do games w 'My Advice to Users Is to Accept Reality and Tune, or to Not Play' — Randy Pitchford Is at the 'Get a Refund From Steam' Stage of the Borderlands 4 PC Performance Backlash

Never bought any of the Borderlands games and probably never will.

FarmTaco,

weird flex but okay

ModernRisk,

That’s okay, I love being weird.

SCmSTR,

1 was a flawed revolution and had great dlc. 2 was … A very clear sign of stagnation but has one of the greatest badguys in multiplayer gaming.

There were a few interesting moments and side stories and unique characters after that, but for example, the transitory moment of seeing Ashley Burke come alive as Tiny Tina was once in a lifetime chance that you had to live through in that year/era. Going back now, it’s not really that special since everything is derivative and we live in the future.

ModernRisk,

Glad you enjoyed the games, I suppose. But I never really cared for the Borderlands games and reading how Pitchford is behaving makes me not want to even try the games.

SCmSTR,

I like first person shooters, the original counter strike is one of my roots. I also have many fond memories of Diablo 2 and LAN parties. Borderlands 1 was a taste of what could be and was VERY exciting, as it was trying to combine two things I loved in games and really wanted (and still do). Unfortunately, Pitchford has been driving it into the ground ever since BL1, and wasting his position at the helm. Godawful behavior aside, it’s time for him to move aside for somebody with more talent for game development or something.

If you don’t mind me asking, why didn’t you ever care for the borderlands games? Just for frame of perspective, I want/like to understand what people like and don’t like and why.

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