Borderlands 4 |OT| It's about time. Literally.

Yeah, i found It fun, the damage and the bônus is too good, sadly this game dosent have a super active class like Zane in BL3, but i like her cause of her crownd control and her high single target damage, the cooldown can be mitigate a lot.
I don't wanna get burned by trying too many characters that are not immediately fun and wasting time levelling them, i'm half burned already by the game being mindlessly easy for now :messenger_confused:

Playing on hard ? If not It helps a little with the challange.

I already have Rafa,Vex and Harlow at 15, i usualy play all, If you are playing on console i think you can play at split screen and level the second characters while leveling your main.

I find it to be a little more hard that previous BL games for sure. You should turn up the difficultly, especially if you play online.

I already play hard offline, the game feel super easy for now, and it gets worse and worse the more levels i get, i kinda remember old games being hardwr because you didn't had all those mobility options, the dodge already make an enourmous difference.

Of course it also depends on the character, vex with clones smash everything with ease but i'm not gonna use a boring build just to make the game harder.

But tbf, i still at the beginning in terms of campaign i think, i just saved the chick who worked for the big villain and about to find her laboratory.

Already playing on hard yeah, vex sniper clones delete everything for now, i tried the reapers and even if weaker, they still massacre everything.

Maybe i just need to go further in the campaign to unlock new enemy types or some shit but my character is also getting way stronger.

Idk If this is your first Borderlands but thinks usualy becomes hard once you reach the endgame.

Anyone knows If this game has the UVHM ? It some kind of Mayhem mode ?
 
I am playing it on my PS5 Pro. was going to get it on PC, but the PS5 was a better version.


The performance drops suck ass, but it's still playable.

Not my first borderlands but i never play endgames in these games.

I get bored after finishing the campaign.
 
I wish it would stop crashing to desktop on PC. I've tried clearing shader cache and some other stuff but it just crashes every couple of hours. Runs okay with FSR4 though.

Until you fight a main boss or get rekt by a World Boss. Those fights can be challenging. There are a few bosses with MMO mechanics you have to follow or you face a wipe.

Trash mobs though once you know how to deal with them then yes it becomes easy.

Her nuke builds is just too OP, the Black hole is just fun to me.

Rafa shoulders builds is just to boring to me.

Jesus why is the skill to lower the cooldown after 10 levels? and another 5 to maximize...

And does it work as crazy good as the description describe? everytime you apply a status effect you get 35% cooldown??

How much do you wait between action skills usages?

No it'll only increase the cooldown speed by 35% for a duration. Reapplying the status effect will just reset the duration. It won't stack another 35% (if that's what you meant)

Just launched a balloon thingy showing me where vault fragments are. I was able to get ontop of those big bridge looking things. :)
I've unlocked a couple more fast travel points. I've been turning map icons green as I find them.
At the rate I'm going it's going to be a long game.

I didnt got so far in the builds yet, bu you can use the skill on the blue tree that is in the first row to reduce cooldown.

I m not using this builds 1 to 1 since this is a endgame builds. Im doing some chances for my play style like morr reload speed cause one thing that kill the pace of the action for me is slow reloads, i also put more point in elemental chance for elements to proc more times reducing my cooldown even more.

Not minmax right now, and yes it ll work but wont stack.

Sigh, just had another crash... I guess clearing the shader cache didn't fix it after all
On the other hand though, I just finished the main story. Great game and the boss fights at the end are very cool.
 
I hope the Switch 2 version of this is at least a stable 30fps. It's not my most powerful machine, but it is the easiest for me to have the most time to play. Even with unreal engine 5, some other games on the engine like Cronos seem to be able to stay at the target frame rate on Switch 2.

i dont imagine what kind of magic they ll pull for this to run locked at 30 on switch when neither PS5 or PS5 pro can.
 
Is this after reloading into a game or after a few hours of play?
Honestly who gives a shit? It's unacceptable lol.

I came back here to read others impressions and I'm glad stopped playing after my first vault at level 18.

This game is a dumpster fire. Never again will gearbox sell me anything.

I ask because there is a known memory leak that tanks performance after an hour or so. I hadn't heard any mention of drops that low so my thinking was the Pro can dip into the 40's, is typically in the 50's and often at 60. But if it's dropping to 20 in areas and it's unrelated to the memory leak that's a whole different story.

Just after the facts.

Fair.

Yoshi noted the memory leak earlier in the thread so I assume he knows how to fix it too based off prior posts.
 
Are they being silent on the console patches? I'm about to stop playing till they release some patches for console. Specifically needs pro support stat.

That's the only way I'll give it another whirl is if it gets pro support.

Until then it's shelved. Dying light this week I may mess with, silent hill next week, ff tactics remake next.

Randy doesn't care he got my money lol.
 
Just started playing around with the customization options and I'm really liking all of the things that you can change. I'm going for a blue/black color theme.
 
Oof, getting motion sickness from first person view.
The unchangeable ridiculously low FoV is hard to deal with on PS5, since all other BL games on the console have a changeable FoV (BL1,2,3,TTW). It is the most important accessibility option, just put in a changeable FoV with a warning about lowered performance at higher FoV values.
 
Game runs better than expected on my RX6750. 50-60fps on mostly medium settings at 1080p. I'm happy with this.

Does changing FoV help? I'm playing it on PC. Getting about 70fps at 3440x1440 no dlss.
 
I was a huge fan of the franchise but lament the 'woke' elements introduced in the previous entry. How are things this time round? Is everyone still gay or is this more like Borderlands 1 or 2? Also, the humour was dreadful in the past game... as if the devs were terrified they might offend someone. Has that be remedied? Lay it on me.

Humor is tuned down by a lot, everyone looks gay... But game play is good.

Sigh. Unfortunately that's after playing for only 20 minutes or so — but I've reached a point where the chaos has ramped up 10x. That's probably why :(

Ah but the question is in the first 20 minutes with chaos is it performant? Because if it is, its just the the leak accumulating faster with more action and it will likely be patched at some point.

From what I can gather the game on Pro at least will be in a decent (not perfect) state when they add a FOV slider and patch the leak. Mind you it likely has a narrow FOV for a reason and opening it up to 90 might tank performance. Or possibly the 75 degree FOV was more driven by the base machines. One can hope.

I will happily wait and continue my replay of borderlands 2 until this is patched and cheaper. Looks like more of the same but some of the performance I have seen on PS5 looks rough.
 
Since i wait on a Sale for BL4 I'm currently playing BL3 and man the game is great, with 81 really underrated on MC.
Huge recommendation for people who don't decide to buy BL4 for now.

the problem with 3 is the Villains, Ava and the writing, everything else is great and the OST way better than 4 atm.

i ll tell that atm i think BL3 is better than 4, even with the worse writing.
Nice

I feel like the only one who actually liked the villains in BL3, especially Tyreen
if
Troy had leeched Tyreen to death he would become a really interesting villain, but Tyreen imo was just a annoying "influencer" with Dad issues.

Also i prefer the open zone in 3 than the open world in 4, in 5 hours of gameplay in Borderlands 3 i got out Pandora, fixed Sanctuary 3, Traveled to Athena, Promethea and to Skywell, each planet extremely different from each other with different enemies to face and killed almost 5 bosses. Now lets put this same five hours into BL4 and you did nothing, you are facing the same enimes, on the same grass fields.
