Borderlands 4

This is a hard decision in terms of where to put the review, But the game has been out for a while now and they continue to push new content instead of fixing their broken code. Completely inflates shader cache, and when it's enough to bog down 11GB of VRAM it's unacceptable. The game is pretty okay, nothing will ever touch Borderlands 2 obviously but I do feel this game was better than three..... However we are now in July and the game is still suffering from crashes, (yup blame my pc, don't care, and also you're wrong) and broken NPCS. Can't even tell you how many times I've had to restart a mission because something in the game breaks and an NPC stops moving, won't talk to me, a door won't open, etc.

does this game have some stutters? yes is it as bad as other steam reviews suggest it is? no best feeling borderlands game now only if the dlc was the same quality as the bl3 dlcs

[h1]Borderlands 3, also known as "[i]Compiling Shaders: The Game[/i]"[/h1] While it's less obnoxious and grating than three, and has fewer of the Mike Meyers-level attempts at non-American accents, it's still pretty dreary fare. Performance is mediocre, leaning heavily on upscaling and framegen, even on powerful machines. The actual game itself seems uninspired, throwing endless increasingly spongey trash mobs at you in huge numbers rather than doing anything distinct. Fiddly jumping puzzle? Here's a load of rubbish flying trash constantly battering into you. One of the endless lazy fetch quests? You're going to have to kill a lot of the same boring crap you've seen a thousand times before to get to Claptrap's left buttcheek or whatever you're after now. None of them will be fun or interesting to fight, it will just scale how much effort they take to kill. It feels like variety is not this game's strong suit. Oh yes, Claptrap. Extremely grating, both the writing and the voicework feel like not the original people. It's so annoying that there's a dedicated volume slider to shut him up. Enough said. It very much feels like the B-team were responsible for this. Even the famous generated Lego weapons are now an indistinct mass, due to the weird manufacturer mixing taking away their distinct identifies, much like the way that mixing plasticine too much always comes out poo brown. The effect of the famous cell-shaded graphics has been ruined by making many of the environments and their contents far too visually cluttered, so it just looks generic. It's like the current teams working on this don't really understand the game - which is probably the case, given the treadmill hire and fire in games now. The upsides? As mentioned before, it's less obnoxious than BL3. Gone is the "hello fellow kids" edgelord dudebro cringe "humour" - this is [i]extremely[/i] welcome. Now it's just a bit dull rather than life-threateningly awful. The game [b]REALLY[/b] needs dialogue skipping though, as literally none of it is consequential or worth listening to. CDPR these people are not. It's quite buggy, especially during the (overpriced and skimpy) DLCs. Lots of mobs t-pose when killed, making it hard to see what's going on. Anything which triggers after you clear an area becomes a time-consuming slog because mobs fail to path around or clip into the scenery, so it takes ages and lots of fiddling to find and kill them. I'm not sure that I recommend this game, having put far too many hours into it, trying to find the fun. If you do buy it, absolutely do not pay full price, wait for deep discounts. I bought it out of morbid curiousity, but it could well be the last BL game that I bother with. TL;DR - it's less obnoxious than BL3 but it's still not good. Borderlands may effectively be over now. Edit: Also, I got a "developer response" responding to the broad themes in the above within seconds of posting it, on a Sunday too - looks like Gearbox are using slop to be their Steam replyguy. Classy.

Genuinely the most bored I have been during any Borderlands game, the gameplay is moderately fun but the dialogue is so non-stop and horrifically boring that it drains all the fun that comes from actually playing the game and I'm just left wanting to fall asleep.

Tengo que decir que, después de 9 meses, me he llevado una sorpresa. Lo compré el último día de las rebajas de verano aprovechando la oferta de 29€ que hacia Steam con el pack de Borderlands 3+4 (como ya tenia el 3, el 4 me quedaba a ese precio) y tengo que decir que el juego está mejor optimizado de lo que creía. A ver, no está perfecto. Aún hay algún que otro tirón. Pero es más que jugable a estas alturas. La historia, está bien, nada del otro mundo, de momento. Pero han hecho mejor trabajo que con el 3. El villano se siente malvado y está ahí dando por el saco constantemente (aunque no se acerca ni a la sombra de Jack el Guapo, eso es imposible). El gameplay es puro Borderlands: caos y explosiones por doquier y muy divertido. He de reconocer que tenia mis dudas sobre el nuevo planteamiento de mundo abierto pero no me ha disgustado del todo. Las misiones secundarias tienen el típico tono humorístico de Borderlands y te sacaran alguna que otra sonrisa. Lo malo: para mi los DLC. Demasiado caros por lo que veo que ofrecen. Para no valen la pena. Si algún día sacan un mega pack por 10 o 15€ igual me los compro para probar los 2 nuevos buscadores. Mi recomendación? Por menos de 30€ el juego base está muy bien y vale la pena probarlo. Tengo un amigo que también lo pilló durante la oferta y estamos deseando coincidir para hacer explotar Kairos juntos igual que hicimos con Pandora en su momento! Más de 30€? Si, si viene de oferta con alguno de los DLC y realmente te interesan los nuevos buscadores. Más de 50€ con DLCs incluídos? Probablemente no, Pitchford no se merece ganar tanto dinero, no después de sus comentarios cuando salió el juego. Ya se que eso probablemente repercuta peor en sus trabajadores que en él pero son daños colaterales que hay que asumir. Son buenos programadores, lo han demostrado arreglando en juego que parecia imparcheable y encontrarán trabajo en una empresa que de verdad merezca su habilidad.

Прикольная игра с неприкольной оптимизацией. Как для любителя того же второго риск оф рейна игра играется прекрасно. Выкручиваем громкость реплик в ноль, ставим на фон музыку и идем отстреливать толпы, гангейм у игры прекрасный, и ощущения от мувмента и стрельбы тоже, очень прикольные цветастые пушки. Я не буду ныть что сюжет там плохой или еще что, оно мне не надо, если надо сюжет, хз, в киберпанк поиграйте, я заранее знал что иду сюда чисто пострелять, и игра справилась со всем на все 100%. Но... Лаги и статтеры, отсутствие нормального стабильного фпс при игре на абсолютно минимальных настройках с длсс на качество? В 720р? Вы серьезно? На компьютере, который способен потянуть тот же киберпанк на ультрах в нативном 1080р? Если с длсс, так вообще лучи включить можно. Графика игры объективно даже и близко не сопоставима, с тем как она нагружает комп. Поэтому негативный отзыв. Я отдал за это две с половиной тысячи. Да, я обновлю комп, чтобы он потянул это, да, я пройду игру и зачищу всю карту, потому что сама то игра мне очень понравилась. Но положительный отзыв вы не заслужили. Если будет нормальная, или хотя бы сносная оптимизация, я поменяю свое мнение. А пока что это кусок 5 анрила, а не игра.

I have purchased every Borderlands game (except More Tales) on multiple systems/platforms (2 four separate times). I purchased multiple copies for my family so my mother and nephews and niece could play. Spent thousands of hours on Pandora, Elpis, and multiple planets around this galaxy. Kairos sucks. Borderlands 4 sucks. Gunplay is good. Traversal is good. Skill Trees are good. Story sucks. Open World design choices suck Being able to repeat bosses to target farm is good Vault Hunters are the least interesting in the entire series, character wise The end game sucks The pricing sucks Clap-Trap has always made me laugh. (I still quote: "Stairs? I can't climb stairs" however many years later). Clap-Trap annoyed the **** out of me this game. And not in a funny, ironic way Maybe because I don't live in memeland and had to look up what Skippity Toilet was after people complained about it in BL 3, but the humor has always made me laugh in Borderlands. Specific segments like the ending of Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragonkeep DLC in 2, or the robot friendship quest in BL 3's Heist dlc, could hit me in the feels. All I got from the writing in 4 was annoyed. It was....is, unfunny This is the first Borderlands I have finished ever that I didn't want to play anymore after I was done with the main campaign. I spent a few more hours tooling around, but it's stayed uninstalled, and I likely will never reinstall it. Every future Borderlands game will be wait for a sale before purchase With 64gb Ram I had no technical issues. On my much lower spec laptop, it was unplayable

Still has terrible performance. Don't care for the "open world" aspect, feels awkward and tedious.
