    Borderlands 4 was so forgettable I literally forgot it was already released.

      I skipped 1, I adored 2 and played it to a harmful degree, I tried 3 and got bored after three attempts to get through it. There was a fourth??

      I mean, the second game was basically setting the thing up for a MMO open-world, group-mission-running/loot extraction type game across a huge, cel-shaded world with open PvP areas… and they dropped the ball on that?

        Technically a 5th. There was one between two and three. Called Borderlands : The Pre-sequal. It wasnt that good either.

        Borderlands had two really solid games, and theyve been running from what made it solid ever since.

      Did you play it? I thought the class designs were excellent.

        I never even finished 3 because got seriously bored with it, and never had a whole lot of interest in 4, especially hearing how badly optimized it was. It just didn’t look like anything worth the money to me, that’s all. Then I literally forgot it has been out for a while because I was so disinterested.

        Is it like the other ones where it takes several hours until you start finding interesting guns and get cool powers?

    Borderlands died after 2.

      Pre sequel had a good story, but bad gameplay

        i fail to see how pre sequel gameplay is anything other than an improvement on 2

    More likely the frame rate paused

    Wasn’t this like a flagship game they were touting along with CoD?

    Wasn’t fully on the card anyway so I wasn’t going to purchase. Fuck key cards.

    Fuck Pitchford and Take2 -- sell the IP to someone who will do something cool and bring back Eddings.

      Having played it on PC, if they got that running acceptably on a Switch 2, I’d be shocked.

        I played through it once (twice?) and put a good amount of time into endgame. Fun game for a bit, better than 3 at least, but god the performance is abysmal.

        I played and refunded after my 3080ti had a hard time getting 60 fps in 1080p.

    It makes some sense, because basically no one has a Switch 2 anyway 🤷🏻‍♀️

      It’s the fastest selling nintendo console but sure

      source
      • termaxima@slrpnk.net ⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago

        It is !? I have just checked and it is ! Wtf ? I used to always be able to tell how well a console was selling by just checking my friend circles (even then Nintendo was over-represented) so I am VERY confused that the console is selling well while I simultaneously don’t know anyone who owns it 🤷🏻‍♀️

      Not sure why people think the Switch 2 sales have underperformed, I have one, my boss has one, my colleague and her brother just bought one. Yeah, it’s not as popular as the first, but it’s still pretty damn popular…
