AAA game? Performance issues and crashing on release? Why I never.

    I forgot they were even making this game. BL3 was kind of bad, the pre sequel was painful. The tiny Tina one was okay but weirdly had no ng+ and shitty dlc. Meh.

    People bought that overpriced crap with unnacceptable TOS? I guess I need to accept there is no hope after all.

    I remember getting borderlands 3 for ps4 and it was literally unplayable, I mean literally it would crash every 2 minutes i couldn’t even make it through the intro. After about 6 crashes in 10 minutes I gave up and uninstalled it, never to try it again. I have a ps5 now but I am not surprised part 4 is the same crap

      I bought borderlands 1 primarily for the co-op mode. It never worked, at least on PC, even though it was heavily advertised as having it. I never bought another Boarderlands

        Yeah the whole series is geared towards co-op, though the first a bit less so than the sequels.

        Gotta say I’m surprised people report so many challenges with the games. I’ve played all four mainline titles, three of them in co-op, and rarely had session troubles and never performance issues.

    It’s a fun game, and I’m enjoying my time with it, but the fact that I’m getting 40fps at 1080p with a 5080 is frankly ridiculous. Unreal Engine 5 is such a curse on this generation of games.

    But but but IGN gave it an 8/10 and said it was the best game in the franchise! Did they lie, are they out of touch, or are they working with publishers to try to smooth over the transition into more expensive games?

      Gonna just remind everyone, or tell anyone who isn’t familiar… Gearbox’s Colonial Marines has a typo in an ini file that breaks the game’s AI. Gearbox was made aware of it after a modder found it in 2018. They acknowledged it by making a joke, then did nothing…

      That one letter typo is still there after 13 years.

          The secret is to use Heroic Games Launcher for EGS games. In addition to being a launcher for EGS, GOG and Amazon… It’s cross-platform, which EGS is not. Makes playing EGS games on Linux a breeze.

          I will continue claiming EGS games, and playing them through Heroic, purely out of spite to Tim Sweeney and his bullshit. He has to pay out of pocket for every license i claim, and i wont say no to that

          It’s fine. The weekly free games are worth it. I’ve played some weird and cool games I would have never found otherwise thanks to EGS’ free games.

          You can use Heroic Launcher instead. And you get an Amazon Games and GoG client as a bonus.

    Don’t buy gearbox games. Pitchford is a self important head in the sands salesman. Along with Tim Sweeny, they’re a couple of the most used car salesman types in gaming

      Don’t forget Todd Howard. He’s the ultimate example of a Tesla salesman who has a self driving car drive itself into a ditch and then he says “it just works.“

      I can think of just 1 guy who is even more of a used car salesman… Chris Roberts. Literally has been selling digital spaceships like used cars. Including the actual prices of the digital ships being roughly the same as a used car.

        At this point I wonder if he still believes he’s making the full game? And if not, did he ever?

        As a diehard fan of the Wing Commander series, you take that back right now! Right now!

        I bought, and still have, every single Wing Commander game released as they launched. Core experience of my early gaming days.

        All kidding aside, Star Citizen is a steaming shit pile of a grift that has gone on for far too long.

    And it still has the loss of focus in the inventory screen bug that’s plagued the game since the first one.
