So is this actually not shit? Or still shit?

As long as you sport good rig it is good game. If you are into looter shooters.
Nearly 20 hours and weapon variety is still best thing about it, you constantly find new weapons with new functions.

Found launcher called "tunguska" which fires rocket which hits ground and then goes up and blows in air maximalizing spread.
Or gun that coverts midgets into allies for a while.

The best part about it is that gunplay is way better than BL2 thanks to enemies now responding to attacks. They stagger, they get knocked back etc. which almost never happened in BL2.

Quests also are improvement over BL2 as they are more funny.

Haha gamer humour, am I right?


To be fair, you have to have a very high IQ to understand Rick and Morty. The humour is extremely subtle, and without a solid grasp of theoretical physics most of the jokes will go over a typical viewer's head. There's also Rick's nihilistic outlook, which is deftly woven into his characterisation- his personal philosophy draws heavily from Narodnaya Volya literature, for instance. The fans understand this stuff; they have the intellectual capacity to truly appreciate the depths of these jokes, to realise that they're not just funny- they say something deep about LIFE. As a consequence people who dislike Rick & Morty truly ARE idiots- of course they wouldn't appreciate, for instance, the humour in Rick's existential catchphrase "Wubba Lubba Dub Dub," which itself is a cryptic reference to Turgenev's Russian epic Fathers and Sons. I'm smirking right now just imagining one of those addlepated simpletons scratching their heads in confusion as Dan Harmon's genius wit unfolds itself on their television screens. What fools.. how I pity them.

Borderlands 3 is suffering from a raft of technical issues at launch
And players are turning to the Borderlands 2 Steam page for help.

Borderlands 3 came out this week, and players are reporting a raft of technical issues with the game.

On console, Gearbox's looter shooter suffers from framerate problems. Specifically, players are reporting a stutter in the PlayStation 4 Pro's performance mode, which is supposed to give you a 60fps experience. But this stutter appears widespread across platforms and modes.

There's a lot of lag, too, particularly when playing split-screen couch co-op and one player goes into their ECHOdevice during heavy combat.

Our Lottie Lynn, who's playing on PlayStation 4, encountered a strange glitch where one menu screen displayed placeholder text that seemed to refresh itself.

On PC, players are encountering fps issues, too, with stuttering a common complaint. In a tweet, Gearbox said it was aware and looking into it.

In light of Borderlands 3 PC launching as a timed exclusive on the Epic Games store, which does not have a forum, players are turning to other places to ask for help - and troll.

The Borderlands 2 Steam forum is currently packed with Borderlands 3-related threads.

Gearbox's own forum has a section for Borderlands 3, which is packed with troubleshooting threads started by players asking for help. But it's the Borderlands 2 Steam page where most discussion is being had - and not all of it is helpful or wanted, it seems.

It's no surprise, of course, to see players of an Epic Games store timed exclusive flock to the Steam page of its predecessor to ask for help and indeed troll others. This has happened before with previous Epic Games store exclusives and will no doubt happen again. But given Borderlands 3's rocky launch, the issue is exacerbated - and given Steam's enormous online footprint, those who use Google to troubleshoot Borderlands 3 problems will likely be sent Steam's way.

Amid the troubleshooting threads from Borderlands 3 players are threads started by Borderlands 2 players complaining about the sudden influx of Borderlands 3-related threads. One user called for a Borderlands 3 Steam subforum "so the pooor [sic] ppl who can't be bothered to use the Gearbox forum can rant and gloat and support each other in there without totally outspamming on-topic BL2 content".

Gearbox will no doubt be working on a number of updates and patches aimed at sorting these launch issues out. Until they're released, Steam may - or may not - help.

From everything I read today if you turn down volumetric lighting to medium you gain like 30% performance. Reminds me of Control, another very demanding game that suddenly runs at 100fps if you turn down two settings.

247k concurrent players would make it the #5 biggest singleplayer launch in PC history.



No doubt it would have sold better on Steam, but for a fledgling storefront it's incredible.

Fake, Steam fans said the game would flop so they must be right.

Concurrent numbers are always a fraction of the actual amount of players.
Using that metric probably means epic sales are a failure.If it sold big on epic there he could easily say we sold a million already,this just seems sketchy.

Normies dont give a flying fuck about internet controversy and drama, they just want to buy a co-op shooter they can sit on the couch and play with their buddies and they dont care where they buy it from.

Of course its going to sell well...

247k on the first day on PC is great. Monster Hunter World had like 239k players on the first day.
