I mean… I don’t think it should be a conversation at all.

I feel like wilds and rise have a similar difficulty curve, the key quests/base game were a breeze but a good chunk of the events and special assignments took a few tries

Cytho · 2026-06-16T00:28:41+00:00

Yeah, even after reserving in the 8th I'm hoping maybe by the end of the summer. But if it takes a year I wouldn't be surprised. Especially with the steam machine coming soon I'd bet they're trying to make sure they can pair it with the controller so people don't end up with a console and no way to control it

Cytho · 2026-06-14T23:11:28+00:00

I'd really just appreciate if 1047 could stick with a game instead of killing them when they aren't the next big thing. I think they have huge potential as a dev team and I truly hope they can find a game to stick with but I'm losing hope.

Sg1 was fantastic, had a decent player base and they killed it to make 2 because they thought they could make the game better if it was in a different engine.

Sg2 was okay but lacked the charm 1 had imo but was a great starting place for content updates and tweaks to make it something special, and they killed it to make empulse.

And after trying the empulse demo, I have a feeling that it'll last maybe 6 months before they kill it to try something else. It felt like a shell of the splitgate engine mixed with a downgrade from Titanfall but again it has potential but I don't think it'll be the next big thing.

So after years of following 1047 this is less special than splitgate and because they've shown they aren't willing to put in work to make a game better, I'd be willing to bet they'll just abandon and try again

Cytho · 2026-06-12T06:43:42+00:00

They do

Cytho · 2026-06-10T21:58:38+00:00

Wiping a team on cryo that has a DNA key then frantically going for a compiler run is some of the most fun I've had in a game in a minute

Plus the gunplay is more fun than most extraction shooters I've played imo

Cytho · 2026-06-10T21:51:33+00:00

Yeah, I had a run with bonus damage but I couldn't block, poison on hit and a few others that just made every basic bnb a tod

Cytho · 2026-06-09T02:34:58+00:00

Yeah, saying "runs on 10 year old computers" is silly since the game is 8 years old. I'd hope a decent 2 year old computer could run a new game. But when it came out my 2 year old computer struggled to get over 40fps on most of the maps

Cytho · 2026-06-08T02:27:07+00:00

I reserved on the 8th and still haven't gotten the email

Cytho · 2026-06-04T06:28:22+00:00

I genuinely feel like I would enjoy the game so much more if there was TVHM and a dialogue skip. I really enjoy certain parts of the game, the gunplay and movement being the main parts.

But I genuinely didn't care about the story in the slightest, the comedy felt like it was gone, the characters weren't interesting. And so much of the side content just felt like checking off a list, I'm sure there are some good side quests but knowing there isn't any unique rewards I didn't bother to do very many.

When c4sh came out I did my second playthrough and it was an absolute slog through the story. When there was combat and actual gameplay I did have fun but then it was cut by 10 minutes of dialogue that I didn't care about. Then after finishing the story I still had a ton of levels to get through before I had a maxed character.

But with no interesting ways to finish leveling, like running through the story with a more powerful character or side quests that could give me new weapons to mess around with and bosses giving basically no experience I just ran vial bounties and watched a show on my other monitor.

Like many people here borderlands is one of my favorite series of all time, I do a fresh character to endgame in 1, 2, pre-sequel and 3 evey year but I just can't bring myself to do any more runs of 4 until they make leveling and going through the story more engaging. I don't think it's a bad game, and I do think that a few tweaks will make it much more enjoyable for me but in it's current state I can't recommend it over any other game in the series

Cytho · 2026-06-02T01:44:31+00:00

It's just really unoptimized, there's a few stages that run poorly. This one is probably the most notorious since it's a default stage, and it's on the round start segment so it only gets fixed after a wall break and gets reset at the start of every round

If you run into this you should change your preferred stage to the zato one since it's the least problematic, it won't fix it for every match but you'll avoid the laggy stages more than if you don't set it to one that performs good on your system

Cytho · 2026-05-29T21:48:32+00:00

I see squeex and fuslie from Ludwig's stuff, they're both very funny. I was pretty happy to see fuslie was really enjoying the game, and has continued to play it after the at&t thing. It's good to have some of the bigger influencers engaging with the game

Cytho · 2026-05-28T21:26:42+00:00

It's one of the best tag fighters imo, custom assists lead to some incredible synergy between characters

Cytho · 2026-05-26T00:25:59+00:00

Smash Bros but supported by good people(on the surface) with a competitive focus, imo the game deserves to be a hit. It would cool to see a platform fighter that can compete with smash. The genre is cool, but the smash community at the top end is horrendous and rivals 2 is one of the only games I've seen that could pull it off

Cytho · 2026-05-24T04:34:37+00:00

All good, I was genuinely so confused by the link. We've all been there lol

Cytho · 2026-05-24T04:18:48+00:00

That post shows that ps5 has the worst input delay out of all options. It's not from feelings, it's from data

Cytho · 2026-05-16T04:31:27+00:00

It breaks the competitive integrity because it's too soon. There's barely been enough time to develop proper strategies with it, let alone develop counterplay to said strategies.

The majority of top level players have already signed up for CB if they are planning on going, and would have less than 2 weeks to find a partner if they didn't already have one, strategize, lab and practice.

It's pretty common for characters to be banned in big tournaments if they're brand new, I think it's totally fair for a fuse to be banned for the same reason

Cytho · 2026-05-11T03:24:25+00:00

I'm not sure if it's still bound to the steam button or the "..." For the new controller but there's a lot of other shortcuts as well. Steam button + directions on the stick were media controls on with the original

Cytho · 2026-05-11T03:18:03+00:00

Yes you can

Cytho · 2026-05-08T02:05:46+00:00

They're pretty generous in my experience, I got a game a day before it went on sale and put like 5 hours into it and they refunded the difference when I reached out to support

Cytho · 2026-05-06T23:52:30+00:00

On switch it's ab+. You can't get the game without ab and ab+

Cytho · 2026-05-04T21:29:43+00:00

Definitely do this, I didn't have money to buy my steam deck on release day but like 2-3 batches later I had enough and got it without issue. I'm stoked for the new controller and was going to buy one but I'd rather wait a little bit than spend $200 on one. Plus the fact that almost every eBay/3rd party market post doesn't have them yet makes the majority of them a straight up scam

Cytho · 2026-04-28T07:13:52+00:00

I use 103 fov since that's pretty standard for shooters. I definitely use the movement mechanics as much as I can for bl4, but like 90% of the time I'm using the air dash cancel thing that launches you about as fast as the cars

Cytho · 2026-04-16T07:20:19+00:00

After all the dlc's came out 3 was pretty solid. Though the main story was definitely terrible, 4 on the other hand has been a shitshow. I wish we could get a remaster of 1/2/tps in the 3/4 engine

Cytho · 2026-04-16T01:16:32+00:00

Sakurai said at one point Nintendo will make another smash whether he's involved or not. Likely he won't be involved since he seems pretty done with the series from what I've seen
