Borderlands 4

Started the game. Compiling shaders. Alright, fair. I let it finish. It says that it needs to reboot to apply patch. Sure, I guess. Started the game again and compiling shaders again. Fine, I let it finish. Then I went into the main menu and then went to set video settings. I couldn't back out because it started compiling shaders AGAIN! Clicked on continue game and guess what? COMPILING SHADERS once again!!! Now I'm out 20 minutes just compiling shaders 4 times.

肯本打不开，一直崩溃

The game runs offensively bad while looking worse than Borderlands 3 which I can run at close to 200 fps. The game itself is okay although it barely feels like Borderlands at all. Unreal Engine 5 is the worst thing that has ever happened. If you have an rtx 5090 and don't mind turning your room into a sauna, and adding a few digits to your electricity bill, and you go in not expecting Borderlands but something closer to far cry, then maybe buy it at a steep discount ( I got a key for ~23€ and I regret getting it for that, maybe 15€ ).

This game runs like absolute trash. I have to run all settings at low, and even then the game still stutters and crashes. I have to stop and start the game every single time I play. The story line is pretty solid, but I will never know how it ends. I spend more time compiling shaders than actually playing the games. I feel I have mid-line specs, but apparently I'm recommended to the low settings by the game itself. I have never refunded a game before on Steam, but I'm going to learn today. I have also owned every single borderlands on PC, and BL,2,3, and Prequels on PS and Xbox. I am a huge fan of the franchise, I've been playing this franchise for over 14 years. The actual optimization, or ability to have a running game is not here. I do not recommend this game to anyone similar to my specs, if you have better you might actually like the game.

Slop.

didnt enjoy it, way too expensive, game has no soul

The game is poorly optimized and this, i think, is not something new. It's unplayable without framegen and even then, you can still end up with a rather poor experience due to the nature of the tech itself. Story wise, BL4 is, probably, the worst out of all of them. Moving from a linear storytelling to an open world one was a very bad decision. It gave me Destiny 2 PTSD with their "Go and grab this then come back". The gunplay itself is decent. Not great, not terrible but far from what other games have implemented (like the previously mentioned Destiny 2 and more recently, Witchfire). So if you're after some good gunplay, go check those two out. The graphics themselves are, again, decent. This time, it seems, they really chose to stick with the Red color way too much. On an oled panel, this might begin to be bothersome. Another issue that i have been having are the constant crashes. Regardless of the settings i have chose to play at, the game will crash. It's just a matter of time. I tried undervolting/underclocking/power limiting both my CPU and GPU and still wasn't able to avoid the crashes. Worst part of it all is that with the most recent one, i have also lost my savegame file. Gone are close to 30 hours invested into this so called game. As you can tell, my specs are not the issue so Pitchfork's "this game is for the elite" doesn't actually hold true, even for those who have a rather beefier rig. Uninstalled and will, probably, never touch this game again. It's a waste of time.
