A game that looks like BL4 shouldn’t run like Cyberpunk 2077 with ray tracing turned on.
Sucker game made for sucker gamers.
Are you inclined to blame yourself for the obvious failings of a gaming corporation? Smash that buy button now!
Dude really felt the need to insult his customers. He could have said it’s a premium game for premium machines, but instead he decided he wanted to insult people who can’t play it and suggest they are less than the premium people who can.
2K needs to get this nut away from the mic.
I was planning on picking up B4 when the GOTY edition goes on sale for $20-30 couple years from now. I figured performance issues will be solved by then. Now I think I’ll pass.
Piracy, my friend. Fuck devs like this.
It’s poorly optimized UE5 slop. Looks like shit, plays like shit.
Hard pass.
Stop using slop for non-ai things.
It’s still slop, just not ai slop.
You’re not my real mom.
I’ll play something cheaper then
I am a premium gamer; if you want me to play your premium game, you’ll need to subscribe to me for $29.99/month or $324/year (that’s a 10% discount from the month to month!)
I haven’t played more than about 30 minutes of a Borderlands game. But from clips I have seen of all of them over the years, they all look exactly the same. Sounds to me like it’s just a poorly optimized game, as is standard for new AAA slop releases.
When was the last time Randy Pitchford got through a day without being a prick?
That’s nice, he is kind enough to tell us that we should not buy his game if we do not have a monster gpu. He is only excluding a very small portion of gamers after all !
Let’s look at the Valve’s hardware survey.
Wait…
Most popular system RAM is 16GB, and VRAM is 8GB.
Wow! Powerful specs!
Drink up me hearties.
Not so fast, mate! Here there be Denuvo.
Stupid comment indeed but this is the gamer community as we know - thet feel SO entitled.
Listen, you can try the game for two hours and get a refund on steam. If you didn’t notice the performance issues on your rig within those two hours, well, what’s the problem? If did notice, then why didn’t you just refund on get on with your life? It’s because of this crazy feeling od entitlement thet gamers seem to have. Whenever something doesn’t live up to their arbitrary standards, the world must burn.
I don’t like BL games and I don’t like poorly optimized games. Doesn’t run like I wanted to? Fine, I refund, maybe try when I upgrade my hardware and the game is on sell. Lots more of these incoming because developers not being able to work with UE5 without optimization issues, e.g. the new Metal gear remake). Also, I know nothing about how devs deal game optimization.
Only PCVR titles can even approach saying such things without looking like jerks. And even then, it’s probally counter productive.
An example, for those curious, is Microsoft Flight Simulator.
From my experience graphics doesn’t matter much in VR if FPS is fine. You can play HL Alyx on a what was sometime ago affordable gpu and get almost the same experience as with 5900.
You made this statement by using the most optimized high end VR title in existence. And the creators of the game their own engine!
Graphics do matter. That’s why you cited Alyx. Right? Because the game is impressive in many ways, graphics being a really big one. Graphics in VR have generally stagnated for the past 5 years since Alyx came out.
Graphics are why the interactions with bottles in that game are so impressive. Just to highlight one small thing.
You need to have $500 gpu to hit 60fps with 1080p native, this is hilariously bad.
I haven’t seen a $500 gpu in near a decade. Even used. If you see a $500 gpu today, I guarantee you it can’t run Borderlands 4.
I guess I will stick to my “non-premium” games made by devs who actually care about providing experiences worth experiencing, instead of a checklist-driven, committee designed and overpriced games that are most AAA games.
I sunk 90 hours into Silksong since launch, and now I’m going through Nine Sols and playing PoE2 on and off. I won’t lie I’m hearing good things about BL4 minus the performance, but I’m not giving Randy a single cent and I’m far happier not engaging in AAA dogshit.
