'My Advice to Users Is to Accept Reality and Tune, or to Not Play' — Randy Pitchford Is at the 'Get a Refund From Steam' Stage of the Borderlands 4 PC Performance Backlash

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.

Was he?

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.

He can deep-throat my dad’s days-dead dog’s decaying dong.

That AAAA to you!

The cam girl porn was the valuable bit. I sure as hell know nobody wants the Borderlands code

Of course the borderlands guy would look like that

That would have to be the weirdest advertising strategy in the history of all advertising.

My our game, it’s really shit

…or Do Not Play

way ahead of you there, guy

Really? Was that a long time ago?

Seems to me he and Gearbox have been in lots of shit for a while now (the infamous USB drive, serious plagiarism accusations when Borderlands did an artistic 180 during development, Alien : Colonial Marines released broken as hell after funneling its funding to make BL2, Duke Nukem Forever…)

And every time Pitchford’s (mostly unnecesary) public answer has been terrible.

Eh, the people are dumb as fuck and will keep buying their slop. Just look at Nintendo, one of the most horrible companies out there, releasing the same 5 games over and over again, but the idiots keep buying. They will keep buying their Mario Kart until it’s $200 a month

I played the hell out of the first Borderlands (including New Game+ across all expansions), but promptly bounced off 2 & Pre-Sequel because it literally just felt like more of the same and I was already sated.

BL3 and now BL4 are literally just more of the same, but with ever increasingly more egregious monetisation.

You ain’t exactly handsome yourself bud

Randy needs to get comfy with the fact that he may go broke.
Do what the doctors in goa (a state in India) did to their health minister. But in this case impact his income & force him to grovel.

Randy Pitchfork looks like a mix of the first second generation employee of blizzard (aka Piratesoftware) and Steve buscemi

They destroyed the first update for risk of rain 2 when they bought it as well. They kinda made my favourite game a lot worse

The game is grossly overpriced and infected Denuvo malware. Those things are all symptoms of Randy Pitchford being involved. I’ll pass.

I’m enjoying the game. And yeah, a lot of cool folk work there. Sure a few suck, but there are a lot of neat humans that poured their heart into this game.

I also haven’t had a single issue on a two year old mid-tier laptop so i can’t empathize with the fuss over performance. I’m sure there are older machines out there that wont run it at 1000FPS or whatever.

At the end of the day, it’s a game. Calm tf down and play something else rather than raise your blood pressure over something so relatively trivial.

Deep breath people. It’s a game. Support it or don’t. Edginess not required for this decision.
