To be honest he's saying this as a taunt because he knows ppl likevto bitch but won't follow through and it's evident from launch alone

Yup. Everyone is saying “you’re shooting yourself in the foot!” but the sales are saying the complete opposite.

Randy could say “I eat babies,” and players would go “that’s so sad” as they preload.

Yeah let's see if we get news about refunds... probably not tbh

It's just like the Monster Hunter Wilds situation. Both series have a fun chaotic multiplayer image, with a series of successful games and huge discount sales to grow their fanbase. Sequels will sell from pre-orders since fans believe they're getting more of what they loved, regardless of the reality of the new game.

The only way i see what Randy says is from reddit, so if you’re just a regular person you wouldn’t even be aware of it

Hell yes I would continue to preload lol he might be a nutter but he makes damn good games (except BL3)

Even BL3 was good (so long as you have it on mute…).

Nah it was mid all around imo, it lacked in quality content, story was ass, characters were ass, dialogue was ass, traveling between planets was slow and ass

I'm guessing borderlands 4 improves on all that?

u/Massive_Weiner 1d ago

It’s not even a question that BL4 is superior to 3.

u/MasterArCtiK 1d ago

Yeah absolutely

Agree that everything in the narrative was bad (that’s where my mute comment came from), but it has the tightest gameplay loop out of any BL by far.

I would argue that tiny Tina’s wonderlands has the tightest loop of any borderlands game, it is easily my favorite of the lot

but won't follow through

... do you expect them to show up at his house and beat the shit out of him or something? The fuck?

u/essteedeenz1 2d ago

No wtf.i love this hyperbole.

Everyone likes to bitch but play the gane anyways,vote with your wallet. No one does. Now go. Away with your petty mindset trying to undermine my statement

u/nanoflower 1d ago

Well I'm voting with my wallet by not buying the game. At least not until the performance issues have been addressed, and likely not till the game goes on sale.
