    According to Randy, Borderlands 3 is apparently Schrödinger’s “Premium Game” - so demanding because it is only supposed to be for “Premium Gamers”, but also, we are supposed to excuse having to run it in lower resolutions and with higher input lag because it’s not on the level of presumably more premium competitive shooters that do optimize better.

    not to play? lol, not to buy. I’ll pick it up in a few years when it’s on sale for a few bucks like all the other gearbox games.

    I’ve never understood the massive success of this game franchise. I understand the appeal and that many people find it fun, but it’s just never been all that great, IMO. There are so many much better titles out there. I’m guessing it’s early success plus huge advertising budget and/or paid-for reviews.

      Yeah, I mean the graphics, story, and characters are nice.

      But the gameplay is so boring when just about every enemy is a bullet sponge and they keep respawning every time you walk between 2 places.

      I like them, personally, and there’s absolutely nothing else that scratches the “I want to play Borderlands” itch. The quality varies a lot by the game, though.

        I’m in the same boat. And borderlands is way better than destiny 2 in my opinion. I really love the gameplay of 3 and 4. I can see myself easily getting my money’s worth out of it.

          I’ve never really understood the comparisons between Destiny 2 and Borderlands, honestly. I like both but my brain puts them in very different boxes. Same thing with Warframe.

      I kinda think there might just not be a lot of good looter-shooters out there. I remember looking for others to play and not having much success.

    You know, I specifically remember the first having an awful port and they made an advertising campaign about how the second would be better for PC. Guess that’s done.
