EDIT: First off for the trolls. People saying GeT a BeTtEr PC are wrong, Ive got a better PC than you. I also played the game before you most likely so you dont know what it was like pre update. You arent playing on the 'badass' preset either or are cutting corners and calling it optimization.

Review: After the first update, the game still has performance problems but its definitely playable. Frames are sometimes amazing and sometimes fall off hard. Having a blast playing with my friends, way better than B3. The 'grab item and walk 1000 meters' missions are pure garbage that shouldnt have made it past QA, come on guys nobody with 2 brain cells to rub together likes these missions. Make it so the item just goes into your inventory so you can still use your vehicles. And I was able to get through the 2k portal to get the golden keys but my xbox friends have not been able to. But the weapon variation, enemy types, and the importance of damage types against certain enemies are are all leagues above B3. Its a GOOD game, you guys just need to release a better optimized product.

If you liked B3 and havent had enough of borderlands, youll like this game. Its got a big map and a ton to do, and its fun with friends. If there was an option to give a mixed review I would. I have to leave it as a negative despite playing and liking the game overall due to choices that the publisher have let influence their games (such as but not limited to releasing an unoptimized game to make the suits happy).

Gearbox spent more on finding out ways to steal customer money through suits in the board room than they did on finding out ways to make the game good. Until we, as consumers, and them, as devs STOP allowing this to happen, it will never change. Refund the game if you've bought it, never EVER pre-order (especially when there is cut content you have to buy to have a full game), and leave a negative review just saying their predatory consumer practices are the reason you're down-voting. A mostly negative score for a Borderlands game would make gaming news on social media and might open their eyes. Devs need to push back on this crap, too, as much as they can. Make games to be fun, not to drive purchases and play time.

Game runs fine on a PC worth a damn. Either A you do not know how to update your drivers or B you do not know how to set up your settings properly.

If 2K has to respond to your review with a guide on how to optimize their game, it is a failure. It's on the developer to optimize their game.

Love that an issue thats affecting a large amount of people gets hit with "lol get a better pc" when the issues arent even rig related. Holy copium smokers on steam.
