2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

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.

[–] glitchdx@lemmy.world 1 points 8 hours ago

you think people even read it?

[–] RabbitMix@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 16 hours ago (3 children)

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.

News at 11, sky still blue. The series ended with 2.

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

[–] sausager@lemmy.world 1 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] zqps@sh.itjust.works 2 points 10 hours ago

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.

Randy you didn't fucking disappoint. This is exactly the game and the results I was expecting

[–] cerebralhawks@lemmy.dbzer0.com 18 points 22 hours ago (2 children)

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?

[–] EncryptKeeper@lemmy.world 8 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

They noted the perforemance issues in their review

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 6 points 19 hours ago (3 children)

Yet it doesn't seem to negatively effect the score

Put it on GoG.

Don't buy fucking Gearbox games. Jesus fucking shit on a bike chrisy. I have been saying that for over a decade.

[–] capt_wolf@lemmy.world 30 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

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.

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

[–] matchaotter@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 hours ago

Can't forgive them for the cash cow they turned Risk of Rain into. Such a perfect game that I sunk hundreds of hours into to get me through the pandemic. They buy the series, release a quarter-baked DLC that simultaneously makes changes to the base game for everyone, spends a year fixing it, then announces another DLC as soon as they fix the problems they created with the 1st one. All while ramping up their merch lineup like the over $100 TTRPG version.

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.“

Also... why now? BL games always get 90% off eventually, lol.
