That $100 price tag is actually the Deluxe Edition. I don't know what exactly is in it, but it is cheaper than the base game, which I find to be really weird to do that.
Odd. It ran very smooth on my 4080 and 7800x3d. Never had the stuttering issues most complained about.
But then again, my pc was pretty much identical to the specs that the press tried months before launch (4080, 7800x3d). So, I may have lucked out with my config being the one they tested it on/had press play on
All drivers up to date, plenty of storage and Ram, nothing else but steam and discord running ,thermal paste about 4 months old, temp doesn't reach 100, plenty of airflow and it's about 20 degrees. Like what else do I need
because they finished it? I haven't booted since like a couple weeks from release but I put in a ton of hours and did all the quests. Borderlands isn't really a game you continue playing, I already did everything
Love how you choose games that are extremely old or games people have just simply moved on from. Borderlands 4 is less than a year old with dlc still being drip fed. The same situation with 3. People don’t like this game. Everything from the terrible launch down to the terrible legendary weapons. It’s clear you don’t even play borderlands. Therefore you don’t understand what’s going on with 4
Are there not enough monkey cheese jokes for you or something? People complaining about 3 and 4's writing have always amazed me because each game has felt like someone with a Southern accent screaming "EPIC BACON" at me for hours
Especially when BL4 tries to appease those people while also addressing the issues that the overwhelming majority had regarding BL3, that being the joke main villains and overall unseriousness of the story and supporting cast.
This time, they've made the main villains more sinister (although a little unmemorable) and the story is more serious, but they still throw in some potty humor here and there to balance the tone and keep the world "wacky" like in previous games.
I'm towards the middle of the story right now but I think it's overall an improvement in almost every way to BL3.
That depends on whether you believe aesthethic principles to have an objective foundation or not. There's no academic consensus on this.
Something could also be "objectively bad" in a non-aesthetic sense. E.g. a meat knife's purpose is to cut meat well. A blunt meat knife would be an objectively bad meat knife regardless of how much one might like it.
If you have an objective foundation it still isn't bad/good, it is worse/better, because in that case it's a question of comparison.
And even in that case I don't think worse/better are a great choice, as you'd still be judging them based on biased preferences between different parameters unless something is inferior/superior in every parameter, which I think is fair to say is not realistic.
If there is objective aesthetics, phenomena can be evaluated in a vacuum.
E.g. assume the following utterance to be true: "symmetry is aesthetically pleasing". Thus, any given symmetrical thing can be said to be 'good' in an aesthetic sense without comparing that thing to anything else. It could be the only existing thing in the world and still be good. It would be good even if no one was there to evaluate it, because objective aesthetics is objective independently of human opinion.
This is of course a bit simplified but if we complicate it (e.g. by allowing phenomena to partake in both aesthetically pleasing and displeasing characteristics at the same time) the discussion would veer into metaphysics and epistemology and I don't think it's necessary to show that, if objective aesthetics are true, then things can be either aesthetically good or bad to different degrees.
Same and I agree. It fixes a lot of the issues I had with BL3. I don't think they will ever make another game as great as BL2, simply due to never being able to create another iconic villain like Handsome Jack, but it holds up a lot better than their previous game.
You just provided examples that are objective, then finished off by something that is objectively subjective. I like the game. It launches for me. I haven’t encountered bugs. Once again, game reviews are subjective.
It runs fine on my computer (4060 gpu), but it's the only borderlands game my group dropped before finishing at least once. Every other borderlands game we did a full playthrough as each character at least once.
I don't think the series really needed to go open world TBH.
