I'm ready for the article announcing Randy takes back his statements. As is the cycle.

Greasy bastard.

Take your own advice? What games do they have not on some other developer’s engine? Other than their initial expansions for Half-Life, which are basically mods for Half-Life, all the games I know they have done were built on various iterations of Unreal Engine.

firebingo,

They did port Halo CE to PC with its own engine. They fucked up a lot of it in the process though.

I have. Oddly enough, I don’t remember any Gearbox game with a Gearbox engine?

I don’t need to be a three star Michelin chef to realize that the plate of shit I have just been served is in fact a plate of shit. Similarly, I also don’t need to be a game developer to see that the buggy mess of a game gearbox just released is not worth my time.

No

Gonna keep repeating it until it sticks:

Don’t touch Gearbox shit. They showed their true colours when they embezzled Colonial Marines.

Pitchford’s brain dead takes killed any chance that I was going to play Borderlands 4.

Ohmmy,

I think it should be taken a bit further and just don’t buy anything from 2K if you can.

echodot,

2K can actually release a functional game though. The problem is they get greedy after the fact.

Ohmmy,

I’m not sure if they can anymore. Civ 7 broke me on how it shoe-horned in systems to make money that ultimately broke what was a tried and tested formula.

Takes me back to 2008 and Rockstar claiming that GTA 4… was designed for hardware that didn’t exist yet after that shit show of a shitty port to PC… It would be a further 6yrs before I could play that game at a reliable 19080p, 60fps… then GTA5 came out a year later.

Drbreen,

No wonder you couldn’t play it. 19080p, mother of God!

SkunkWorkz,

19080p in 16:9 is 33,920X19,080 =647,193,600 pixels, 647 megapixels. 8K is 33.2 megapixels. So this dude is playing GTA 4 on a screen that has almost 20 times more pixels than an 8K screen

Drbreen,

My bro’s gaming on a freakin Jumbotron

A game designed for hardware that doesn’t exist yet on a monitor that doesn’t exist yet.

@inclementimmigrant borderlands 4 running like dogshit on a 5090 is going to make me crash out in the most legendary way

Seems fine in performance mode on PS5. Windows users having trouble?

It’s funny given they use unreal.

CaptainBlinky,

I run a 7800X3D on and X870 mobo, 64gb ram and an RTX3090, and couldn’t run it at my native 7680x2160 resolution and have a playable framerate. It was fine at 3840x1080, but randomly crashed to desktop (at 1/4 my normal resolution, that I can even play Star Citizen at.)

I refunded it after 3 hours. This was before Randy’s ridiculous response to the criticism. I was planning on buying again later when it’s fixed, but now I’m not so sure. The man is his own worst enemy.

Fluke,

He’s a bell end. He’s always been a bell end. I had the dubious pleasure of meeting him when I was working as a games press outfit’s tech monkey over a decade ago at Gamescom in Cologne.

Every other word out of his mouth was a business buzzword, he’s smarmy and smug, my skin crawled the whole time he was present.

It looks like he’s as high on his own farts now as he was back then.

Cheaping out on optimization is one thing, telling customers to basically eat shit if they have a problem with it is… something that‘s not gonna have any major consequences nowadays, I guess lol

What a time we live in
