I'll avoid any controversy by not buying the game, and spending elsewhere.

Well now I am giving even less of a fuck about this series that should've ended after the second title

I haven't looked at the performance reviews per system yet but I recall the complaints for Borderlands 3 mainly came from people trying to run it on an old i5 with a 1060 or similar. You need a high end system, that much is clear. Or you need to get comfortable with 30 fps.

I'm not saying Randy is right to strike that tone, but you can't deny there is a point to saying that some games are meant to be played on powerful systems and won't accept anything less.

Its a recent AAA game on a modern game engine, so it probably runs awful even on top of the line hardware.

Basically every game that comes out these days in the AAA space is a horrible unoptimized mess.

My complaint about borderlands 3 was the cringe main antagonists. Like I'm happily shooting stuff and they hop in with painfully mediocre snippets of whatever they're supposed to be doing. Also they killed off one of the best characters. The gunplay felt nice, the music and graphics were good. I didn't have any real technical issues.

the fact, that steam reviews were on mostly negative on launch day, and it suddenly got mostly positive means steam has once again tempered with the statistics. fuck valve as well.

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.

it's wild to me that there are people who still not only let this man talk, but write down the shit that come out of his stupid face and report on it.

[-] vala@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 4 weeks ago

He's just giving mega chuds ammo for their flame wars.

is there that much difference between 2015 and 2025 hardware? (like now people are saying moore's law is dead and stuff)
