Comment on I fixed Borderlands 4's stuttering issue by upping my shader cache size to 100 GB, which feels like something I shouldn't have to do in a well-optimised game

  Because it’s fun and it’s the only game series me and my dad still play together.

  Because the previous ones were great and this one has glowing critics reviews. For me though, the system requirements are too high, so I’ll buy and play it sometime after a PC upgrade.

    BL3 was just as much (if not more) of a mess - people shouldn’t be surprised, especially with Randy telling people they should be selling their souls to have the privilege of playing this game.

      I played through BL3 on a 2016 PC and it was OK. Not perfect, but perfectly playable. Looking at that PC Gamer article, I don’t even understand the complaint of being unable to run the game at 120 FPS. Seems like an unreasonably high bar. I’d take 60.

        The game is running at less than 40fps, they’re using the 3X Frame Gen mode

        Granted, that’s at 4K and seems to alse be with most of the settings cranked to “Badass”

        Its initial launch on Epic was a mess for multiplayer, and there was plenty of documented issues for P .

        The story was probably also a sign to come for the movie that would release after…

    Great? The first one was OK. Then it kinda went down hill from there.

      I mostly agree. I’d say they went uphill though, but so did every other game, but even faster. Each game improved some things, but the competition improved much more. They’ve been coasting off of name recognition ever since the first game.

      My favorite is BL3. It made the shooting feel less like cardboard compared to most games and had a great cast of characters.

        But when did you play it? Release BL3 and updated/optimized BL3 are two completely different beasts(Reddit link warning).

        Same as games like the Witcher 3 and Cyberpunk, fans playing it in release year vs 2025 are gonna have completely different experiences. And BL 3 release was also messy, albeit not as bad as this. I was there.
