What now it’s a priority? What about Pitchfords snobbish comments? Did their bottom line hurt?

MoreZombies, 25 dni temu

Most people I know who are keen on the game are completely unaware of any of the the discourse surrounding it. It was probably minimal.

chiliedogg, 24 dni temu

Something I’ve kinda come to accept about Gearbox is that Pitchford is an ass and sometimes they farm out products when they shouldn’t (ACM bring the biggest example), but most of the devs actually working on the games really do care about the product and want it to be good.

Gearbox would be a much more beloved company if Randy Pitchford fucked off. He makes everything they do worse, like bragging about how terrible Duke Nukem Forever was like the company is proud of killing the franchise.

I thought this was a “premium” game. Why should they optimize for the poors? /s

I just spent 5000€ on a new rig to join the premium gearbox gamer society and now this?

Drewmeister, 25 dni temu

I really wish Randy would shut the fuck up, because it seems like the actual devs really care about this game.

EncryptKeeper, 25 dni temu

It’s so funny that this was their mindset when it doesn’t run well on my PC which cost close to $2,000.

Randy is so out of touch he thinks people with $2,000 available in discretionary spend are “the poors”.

I think they do think that though. Companies seem to have realized they can make more money with less sales by pricing the lowest bidding consumer group out of the market.

Pitchford is the biggest enemy of Borderlands, why can’t he just shut the fuck up

Eh, I don’t think the series would be as bad if it didn’t have his coke-addled ass dictating which direction it should go.

That means they’re removing Denuvo & Symbiote right? Right???

inclementimmigrant, 25 dni temu

Of course not. It’ll be mandatory DLSS and fake frame generation because that the future of graphics and game development.

way ahead of you there, guy

Couldn’t have been less interested. Borderlands hasn’t been remotely interesting since 2 and everything since then has been a soulless cash grab.

philosloppy, 26 dni temu

I played an hour of the first game and that was enough for me, so I’m not exactly their target demo anyways.

Rakonat, 26 dni temu

First game was just Diablo 2 but FPS with guns. But I can totally respect anyone that didn’t jive with that. The humor was very hit and miss and definitely made but a group of people who insisted they were hilarious.

philosloppy, 25 dni temu

I honestly don’t remember anything about it except that I didn’t really enjoy it that much. that was a looong time ago

massi1008, 26 dni temu

Hard disagree.

Pre-Sequel, 3 and Wonderlands have all been great games that I had lots of fun with. I also know I’m going to have upwards of 100 hours of fun with 4. That’s what makes this whole story even more frustrating…

But I’m a patient gamer. I played the previous BL games years after they came out. I’ll do the same for this one - not because I can’t afford a 60€ price tag but because articles like this. Sad.

ThirdConsul, 26 dni temu

Wonderlands

Interesting. To me that game was just the worst:

Unskippable, long, very very very long, boring dialogues.

Shitty weapons, but fantasy. E.g. no oomph feeling when you hit the enemy with a large ice explosions. It just scraps a little of their health.

Boring, unchallenging fights.

TwinTitans, 26 dni temu

BL4 is awesome so far. Works fantastic on PS5. I hope next time they just skip releasing a PC version at all and use the extra resources for the other versions like GTA.

John Carmack: We couldn’t figure out how to perfect virtual texture streaming. I’d walk backwards and turn and the world would reload textures. It just comes down to a problem with the implementation.

Randy: The technique is fine you just need to play differently.

Continue to wait 15+ minutes because this was already the case at launch and it still continued to stutter like a drunken frat boy.

tired of this game crashing.

I wait 15min for shader just to get into the menu, then continue, then wait another 5-10min for even more shaders...

play for an hour or so, and then it just crashes out.

Hahahaha, Bitchford at it again!

I really liked the first 2 games in the borderlands series, but TPS and 3 are just… Not great. I really want to try the Tiny Tina game, but I’ve heard that it as well is not great.

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.
