Man God just has some very rigid and strong opinions. No need to argue about it. Borderlands is the perfect example of trading fidelity for portability. Not much else to it.
Getting it for free and being a bit burnt out on the series in general also allows for me to be a bit harsher than normal on this one. Plus it's a huge investment size wise on the card, especially when I only had the 8 GB one.
I do think that the framerate drops unacceptably low during many action sequences. I'm not expecting the PC version here, nor even the 360 or PS3 version.
They could have done a better tradeoff visually to keep the game running smooth. It's not a particularly good looking game to begin with so if they were able somehow to lower the map size/reduce lighting/textures more and got a better performing game out of it I would have been happier. Considering they already lowered the enemies per encounter shrinking the zone sizes also probably would have been in their interest to tailor the game to the console better. But no, they tried for a full on experience and messed it up.
I know well as a primarily portable gamer for the last 15 years the sacrifices made for portability and didn't find this one to be up to snuff.
