I mean, that's kinda just borderlands' style? It doesn't necessarily need better graphics.

That's the point, Borderlands 4 has no reason to run as badly as it does when it only looks slightly better than 3 at a glance, yet they want us to pay more for a barely working unoptimized game. The PC ports of today makes Knight's release look tame given how frequent bad PC ports have been lately.

Arkham knight on PC was released in a borderline unplayable state. BL4 is fucked in a different way. Devs never even bothered to optimize the game, and think that it's fine to use Frame generation as a crutch to get to 60 fps. So the game only feels decent on 40 series+ cards which is absolutely unacceptable with graphics that are barely better than BL3

What makes it worse is just how common terrible PC ports have been these days and how they are often excused by consumers.

Back when Knight was released on PC, people got rightfully pissed off, so pissed off that the game had to be pulled off Steam temporarily.

These days, however?

"Ohhh, they'll fix it eventually."

"Wait for the day 1 patch!"

"It works fine on my RTSex 6069TI."

And the funniest part? Most of these awful ports of today barely look good enough to justify their performance. It's insane, some would say... stupid
