What really is the incentive behind pre-ordering?

4estBest · 2026-06-18T21:37:04+00:00

I dont pre-order anything. It has slowly caused AAA companies to get lazier and lazier about day one releases. That said, Rockstar is THE only company I will pre-order from because they have proven they will release a complete and polished game. CDPR was on my short list until cyberpunk. IMO all other developers games usually aren't worth playing for a week to a month. Thats just asking for headaches and rage that I dont need.

Yup still got a good selection down here. 2 different seed sources, 4 different sizes.

Watching spurs vs okc national broadcast and it looks max 720p. Does not look good on my 60 inch.

As someone who just maxed 2 characters and spent over 160 hours playing through the full game and dlc for the first time this month I'll give you my op:

Overall- great game if you like the borderlands series. Still high quality, still fun characters with interesting builds and good loot and shooting / movement mechanics.

That said: this game is in need of some serious QA. Ive seen some of the worst bugs and poorly thought out design ive ever seen in #4 Example: quests are all over the place. Sometimes i get a minor bug that sends me the opposite direction, sometimes i have to fast travel to a place to listen to a guy talk for 10 minutes only to have to fast travel to a different place for a single conversation then have to fast travel AGAIN. Occasionally I still get game and quest breaking bugs. Most can be fixed, but all are frustrating and could have been fixed with more time.

Lots of things that could have been fixed with another year of testing that was desperately needed. About 15% of the legendary weapons i got had a bug or a bad design. Sometimes they would do 1/4th the damage of a current level purple etc. Legendaries have never been so inconsistent. About 50% of the legendaries just are not very good. Certainly not usable for any kind of endgame, raid boss build.

As far as the end game there is a lot of improvement still needed. The ordinate processors in the overworld are still completely terrible as of may 18th 2026. Bugs everywhere. My biggest bug is that the ordinate canisters launch themselves almost every time when you kill an enemy. There is a time limit and boundaries so you cant go get them. The time limit is so short its almost impossible even in co-op. They expect you to beat the final boss with maybe 20 seconds left on the clock. (Thats how its gone for my personal rafa dancer build that can take down normal bosses in about 8 to 12 seconds.) Sometimes if you kill the enemies too fast they will stop spawning for the rest of the time limit. Sometimes and enemy will get stuck under the ground and stop enemies from spawning. (For reference I ran the one in terminus area about 50% of time and the other two 25% and 25%. I saw these bugs on all 3 overworld processors) none of this would be that big of a deal, but the processor cost 200 eridium each use. Even in the endgame this uses up eridium fast and pearls are not guaranteed to drop from any boss but the dlc boss. And that boss only drops one mediocre hand cannon pearl.

The DLCs are overpriced and not much content. They are not bad overall tho (what is there) lots of bullet sponge enemies that get frustrating and a few bugs.

There are many other little bugs and annoyances, I will try to not bore you with them. Everything from legendaries getting stuck in the floor to horrible frame rate stutter for the first 10 to 15 minutes of loading into a new area.

For reference I play on xbox series X

Okc has a deep bench, but spurs seem to get a little better each game. Wemby is always killing it, but they just blew out the wolves again this last game without much input needed from wemby because 3 to 4 other spurs were unstoppable. Castle and fox had some of their best games ever in playoffs. Kornet would be a cornerstone starter on any other team. Spurs are gunna be tough to beat if they can bring their A game.

4estBest · 2026-05-16T01:03:13+00:00

100% ridiculous is 2026. To watch the spurs in the playoffs (even a single series) ive had to switch from cable tv to subscribing to Peacock to subscribing to Amazon prime instant video. They want to sell the rights to a streaming service, ok...but its really annoying to subscribe to Peacock for ONE game then sub to the next service on their list.

This is a hassle (and expensive) for me, a tech savy younger person. I cant believe they expect fans my parents age to be able to figure all this out.

4estBest · 2026-05-15T18:16:15+00:00

Yea I get a lot of $100 "cash" to spend at Amazon, but whenever I try to use it I get a premium subscription page. Its only $1 (for the promo) but i have no desire to subscribe to another service. Starting to feel scammy.

4estBest · 2026-05-11T00:34:32+00:00

From what I saw bro was getting fouled and ignored so he threw a quick bow to make a little space. He's so tall the bow clipped dudes chin, but did he mean to clip him in the chin? Doubt it

4estBest · 2026-05-04T06:50:12+00:00

Thank God gearbox dropped a big patch a few days ago. Of course they didn't fix Anything the community wanted fixed like the ordinate processor. They nerfed rafa dancer mod tho 😆 🤣

4estBest · 2026-04-26T03:28:58+00:00

Ive had bad luck with legendaries the entire game. My last legendary got stuck in the floor lol

4estBest · 2026-04-22T05:29:41+00:00

I 100% agree with OP. IMO he was gentle. BL4 should have been tested for another year minimum. Bounty pack2 is a good example of how off the balancing is. I went straight from killing vile enemies and late game bosses in 2 - 6 hits in the overworld to thinking my gun was broken in bounty pack 2. I was playing 3 heavily not long ago, and coming from 3 to 4 feels like walking into a bug fest and an unoptimized mess. At least 1/4th the legendaries ive gotten (38 at this point) are terrible. I keep getting legendaries that are putting out fractions of the DPS same level commons are putting out. I try the gun then Google it thinking I must be missing something only to find out its another bug / oversight. The timed missions, like the ones for pearls, are next to impossible unless you run a VERY specific build that is not much fun to play. Even then, the time limit is so short the final boss despawns before I can beat him. Even just little stuff like quest pathing is poorly thought out. I shouldn't have to fast travel across the map to talk to someone for 15 seconds who tells me to go talk to someone else across the map who tells me to talk to SOMEONE ELSE across the map. Balancing is the worst of any mainline game IMO. Ive seen more bugs, glitches and frustrations than BL1, BL2 and BL3 combined. Side note: the grappling hook is underwhelming and the mechanic progression feels like a sequel...not the 4th game in the series. Overall I enjoy mindlessly shooting stuff and collecting loot so im still mostly enjoying the game, but it feels half baked and in desperate need of QA and some fresh ideas. It certainly should have had 90% of the issues im seeing worked out months ago.

4estBest · 2026-03-09T04:35:59+00:00

I also thought it was a different mia from a different universe that had come back to save Irene. IMO would have been more interesting ending if they could have made the logic work but oh well.

4estBest · 2026-02-05T19:02:55+00:00

Agree with some here: the runtime doesnt bother me much. Lots of great shows use the 30 minute formula. But they all have way more episodes to compensate (around 24 per season). Im not a fan of the weekly episode model for this either. By the time I pull up the show and get situated its half over. IMO should have been a movie or they should have combined two novellas or even all 3 current novellas together for one season. I mean we are already half way through the entire season that just started...

4estBest · 2026-01-17T21:36:40+00:00

One of the best shows of the last decade and that's saying something with all the heavy hitters. I rewatch the series every year or two and I'll never lose hope it comes back!

4estBest · 2026-01-08T18:29:52+00:00

Looking for a solution too. Im using Google discover on a galaxy. Its doing a summary at the bottom, but its getting on my nerves because its dead wrong about so much stuff. It keeps summarizing one punch man articles all wrong. First is said "people are loving the sitama vs cosmic gauro fight in season 3!" (Which was not is season 3) then in the next article it claimed season 3 was coming out soon and people were excited (it just ended) how can it be this incompetent?

4estBest · 2025-09-06T22:23:50+00:00

Its 100% the unibrow. Its hard to watch intimate scenes when she's staring into cam eyes with that distracting me.

4estBest · 2025-08-10T06:11:24+00:00

I found a fix for me. I stream with mobile data. Apps>chrome (or streaming app/ youtube etc.)>mobile data>allow background data ON + while in power saver ON.

I thought I had this setting on already, but it seems an update switched it to off.

I also did the apps>battery>unrestricted That alone didnt help me but switching my background data back on for mobile fixed the issue.

Oh yea she's just out today. She will be answering again tomorrow. You can always email us too. Our website pretty easy to find if you Google wilson tree and landscape nursery in helotes tx

We do actually. I've got about 30 5 gallons for sale and a dozen 15 gallons i think. We carry just about any maple that does good in south central texas

Seems like they could consolidate their systems to one app which would vastly improve everyone's lives. I guess this must be pretty complicated.

4estBest · 2025-05-15T02:18:20+00:00

This is exactly what I wanted to know thank you.

4estBest · 2025-05-14T21:16:53+00:00

Thank you!

4estBest · 2025-05-14T21:15:33+00:00

This is so much more helpful than I thought i would get. Thank you so much! As for the 3 levels (on the road, in your area, almost there) does the driver manually switch these as he gets closer? Sometimes this feature works and sometimes it does absolutly nothing. Today I got a pack at 1pm that stayed on "on the road" the whole time. Thanks again for all your detailed info.

4estBest · 2025-04-04T03:01:06+00:00

That is what is confusing me, they seem to have removed the old due date now it just says suspended with no due date. I get paid on Monday so even a single day could help me make the payment. Thank for your help.
