    Welp, that’s what I did. Got my money back. I’ll buy it when it’s $19.99.

    I was going to do that originally but now I’m never playing it.

      BL4 is running horribly, even on higher end PCs. I have a 4090 and a decent processor, but only getting 80FPS max with a good few settings on low or off and AI frame gen on (I would rather not, but performance is just that bad).

      What’s crazy is how inconsistent the problems seem to be. I’ve got a 4080 Super and a decent processor, and I’m getting 120-140fps with most settings as high as they can go with frame gen on at 1440p. Only crashed once in about 40 hours of gameplay.

          For a long time he was told by everyone in public and in private that he was awesome and perfect, and the greatest game developer, which made him a ton of money and very famous. Now his latest game is failing and his overinflated ego is panicking.

            I’ve got a 6800xt and it runs really well on medium settings. Looks pretty good as well. Never had the game crash on me either. It’s 60fps but I’m cool with that. Gameplay feels smooth at that and it’s steady. No upscaling no frame Gen. 3440x1440.

            I have heard a lot of people are having issues with Nvidia hardware though.

                That’s an option, but there were a lot of people involved in making the game. I’m not a fan of collective punishment. They most probably did their best, he’s just a shit spokesperson.

                  It’s the year of the wealthy personalities who dont keep their mouth shut because they believe they are right and everyone will agree with their points and love them.

                  Happening right now with Mark Cuban on the NBA side.

                    I have come to accept that this is a PR campaign to plaster the name everywhere all over social media and let it worm its way into currently pissed off gamers’ heads for a few months down the line when they’ve calmed down and inevitably buy the fucking thing.

                    Pitchford is a slimeball. Rarely has a man who is allegedly not an insurance or used-car salesman given off such nakedly scummy vibes.

                    We need to stop giving free publicity to this little marketing man, and to this poorly optimised, expensive game.

                    I don’t think there’s anything that well thought out, and it’s just someone who takes things personally and cant resist blurting out their thoughts.

                    Since after what he said my thinking was even if my friends beg me to get the game on discount I wont because of how personally irritated the comments have made me.

                      This has been there already with Ubisoft games. It wont end well for the IP and also, the main problem is Randy Pitchford. That problem wont be fixed any time soon.

                        They got paid already and most of them will be laid off or moved to different projects by the time the games is $20.

                          Gearbox was been scummy for a while now. Customers can learn to stop giving them money or can keep putting up with this.

                          Borderlands 3 kinda sucked it. I realized when I played it that they had hit peak during Borderlands 2.

                            I haven’t played 4, but I played 1, 2, and a bit of the presequel or whatever it was called. They were essentially all the same game. Run, shoot, run, shoot, hear vaguely off-color joke, run, shoot. Is there any particular reason to bother with an overpriced remake of the same old game? Is there a reason for worrying about 4KUHD textures on a game where the aesthetic is cartoony? If you’re a 9 year old who’s never played, and it’s all on mom’s dime, I could see being tricked into buying it by the advertisers, but why is anyone else excited about it?

                              Any interest I had in the game, which was already fairly minimal, was completely obliterated when the price was announced.

                                Personally I’ve always thought of him as a bit of a prick.

                                  It’s not that he’s a tool it’s at the game it has poor performance. And being a tool is just a guarantee that issue will never be fixed.

                                  So in a way I kind of do blame the team, they must have done testing they know what the performance is like.
