    Another one of his responses to the same topic: "Code your own engine and show us how it’s done, please”

    This is their seventh Borderlands game made in Unreal engine. This isn’t some fledgling indie studio that’s still finding its footing around a game engine. They have 1300 employees, they had 6 years to make this and they have 2K Games’ backing. They have no excuse to release a game in this state, but sure. Let’s blame the customers.

    Oh, and I just noticed: the game uses Denuvo, because of course it does.

    Meh I’ve been feeling that since 2018, release of RTX cards and raytracing marketing hype. Since then my perception towards AAA games have become harder to reach; require newer hardware, bigger disk space, better internet to download and more expensive price.

    Though that already happen for a decade maybe. Battlefield 3 and 4 all DLC require 40-60 GB download. That would eat about 10 hours download.

        Conan did a Clueless Gamer playing it and the game crashed halfway through 😂 Not even making it up, it’s on YT.

    Or hear me out, you can give your developers time to optimize the game. I hate the direction most AAA games are going.

      It’s unacceptable for games from big studios to be released in such a shoddy state. At this point, the best bet as a consumer is to wait 3 months before buying anything.

      From the reviews I’ve seen, it actually seems like they listened to complaints about three and have toned down the cringey dialogue.

      Of course, nobody can get the damn thing to run, so hard to independently verify, but it seems like this entry was meant to be a triumphant return to form, far closer to BL2 in tone and style than BL3.

      It’ll maybe be worth checking out once the inevitable Game of the Year edition goes on heavy discount in like four years.

        Well that’s good then. Maybe it might make my “buy on sale” list. You’re right, not worth buying these until the dlc is all out and discounted

    My mid range 4 year old PC must be hella premium. Because I’ve had no issues playing it.
