I would watch a good story recap on YouTube that covers BL1, 2, presequel, and tales from the Borderlands. No sense playing the older ones with this game coming out. They feel really dated by today's standards.
I mean, depending on whether or not certain graphical features are in this game, that doesn't seem crazy
You can absolutely tank your framerate in BL2 with Physx accelerated particles and fluid simulation. Although BL3 is a AMD partnered game, they might have something similar that (unnecessarily) tanks performance.
The guy goes on a rant about abortion rights because the game contains a joke about how wire hangers are uncivilized.
I get being put off by sex jokes, but he's definitely misinterpreting a tame joke lol
The joke has nothing to do with abortion.The problem is not that the joke is about abortion, but rather it makes light of women who have hurt or killed themselves to perform an abortion when safer options are outlawed. Something to consider in an increasingly anti-choice political environment.
4K 30 FPS or 1080p 60 FPSInteresting PC requirements...what res is this running at on the X? Hopefully not too many effects had to be turned down there.
It does sound ridiculous, especially considering Borderlands 3 doesn't have any sort of raytracing capabilities implemented at the moment.
How can it? Most of the cards listed don't support ray tracing.
It's for everything maxed on Ultra; probably has a setting or 2 that kill everything but the highest end cards.
Hopefully we get some good setting recomendations for our non 2080 cards lol, not too worried about it myself I don't need every setting to Ultra to have fun with a game like this.
None of the reviews mention a single raid boss. I am gonna assume there isn't one. Which is pretty fucking bad and makes me think about cancelling my pre order.
if that's something your worried about id cancel and wait to you hear more.None of the reviews mention a single raid boss. I am gonna assume there isn't one. Which is pretty fucking bad and makes me think about cancelling my pre order.
Yeah, it's weird. Especially when Borderlands 2 heavily advertised the Terramorphous raid boss before launch. Admittedly, Gearbox themselves haven't really spoken about raid bosses outside of the Maliwan Takedown which comes out in October.None of the reviews mention a single raid boss. I am gonna assume there isn't one. Which is pretty fucking bad and makes me think about cancelling my pre order.
Confirmed? That's good news if so.4K 30 FPS or 1080p 60 FPS
No idea if that 4K is native or just checkerboard
One line insulted me. I think it was a throwaway comment from a Pyscho as you slaughter it, but when I killed it, it said, "I want to live in a more civilized age! No more wire hangers!"
It's really not if there's stuff like Ray Tracing in the game, which would have little to do with the overall look of the game
Very unlikely. If it had ray tracing, we would have known about it long ago.It's really not if there's stuff like Ray Tracing in the game, which would have little to do with the overall look of the game
Yikes at that joke. Who the fuck thought that was funny?From the review:
If it isn't a reference to abortion, it's either a tone-deaf joke that appeals to the 10 people that care about plastic vs. wire hangers and enjoy Borderlands' humor, or it's a bizarrely misused reference to Mommy Dearest. /shrug
I'm going to assume a looooong draw distance and minimal load times/instances. With lighting and shadows as the additional usual suspects.Then I'll be interested in seeing what settings are the reason for the low framerate on ultra
hell no, that's definitely a joke about abortion.From the review:

So the critic is offended because they (the critic) aren't pro-choice?The problem is not that the joke is about abortion, but rather it makes light of women who have hurt or killed themselves to perform an abortion when safer options are outlawed.

Why does it have to be a joke and not a criticism?
So the critic is offended because they (the critic) aren't pro-choice?
.....are you serious.
Ultra settings aren't worth it, news at 11.That's pretty wild. Not sure what would be the cause of it being so demanding.
from the POV of the reviewer is was a bad jokeThe opposite.
Just a few posts back you thought it was a joke so...
How is it the opposite?

If a Psycho in the game has a line that criticizes the fact that women have to resort to coat hangers because we're outlawing civilized means of which to get abortions, then that's something someone pro-choice would say. If the game is making a comment about people not being pro-choice being wrong, and the critic is offended, then.... ???
One line insulted me. I think it was a throwaway comment from a Pyscho as you slaughter it, but when I killed it, it said, "I want to live in a more civilized age! No more wire hangers!" I took this as a reference to the unsafe abortions women had to seek out before the Roe vs. Wade decision … and others may be using as states camp down on abortion rights. It shook me, and it disgusted me given today's anti-choice climate. Maybe I'm reading this incorrectly, and it's pointing out how women are losing access to safe abortions. Or it's more literal and it's a comment on how awful wire hangers are in your closet. But that's not how it came across to me.

Wire Hangers being something snobby people hate has been a thing for ages...
Oh, so the critic just misinterpreted it? I don't understand how they managed to write that and not realize the Psycho is saying that pro-life people are uncivilized.
Psycho literally says it's uncivilized for abortions to not be legal.It's a bad joke because it can be read as pro-choice or pro-life, so honestly, it shouldn't even have made it into the game.
Because I was reading the Psycho's quote, and hearing that the critic was offended. The only way to be offended is if you're pro-life, or if you're misinterpreting the comment, which the critic is. I just didn't go back and read their actual comments on the matter, because I thought the dialogue was pretty damn self-explanatory.dunno why you keep saying he's offended instead of going and actually reading the writing in question
I mean I make out fine in Gears 5 at 4k/Ultra on my 2080ti with minor dips only in the most demanding areas, which come mostly from act 2 and that looks absurdly better than BL3. I just don't see what could make this game require a 2080 for 1440p/60 at Ultra settings. Maybe the particles and physics are pretty crazy.
These outlets have an earlier version of the game and the release graphics drivers aren't out yet, it seems fairly reasonable to think that's why the performance results are the way they are.
Psycho literally says it's uncivilized for abortions to not be legal.
Oh.Pro-lifers have also used wire hangers as a talking point to make abortion sound more dangerous than it actually is. "Civilized age" could easily be interpreted as no abortion.
It's a poorly written joke.
He's offended because he thinks it's a bad joke. He's pro-choice.How is it the opposite?

It's been confirmed that the X is stuck at 1080p in the 60FPS mode same as Pro? Why do devs do this parity crap4K 30 FPS or 1080p 60 FPS

Why is 2K being so incompetent with these review procedures? They're making Gearbox look like they're trying to hide something even though I'm pretty sure this is 2K shenanigans alone.
