Overall complaints of terrible performance, messed up matchmaking.

The DX12 mode is unfinished: it's currently marked with (BETA) in the settings, but sounds more like (BUG) though. I just watched a player on twitch getting stuck in loading screens after switching to DX12 without an easy way to revert back. If they're lucky, then they eventually drop into game at -2 FPS.

I await more gossip to see if there's horrible Tencent spyware running under the hood.


I'd like to think I wouldn't make the same decisions Sweeney did, but I am not in his shoes, who knows. If China wanted to pump 500 million bucks into the parser text adventure industry I would not be saying bu yao. But goddamn, he obviously has free money to give away. Instead of throwing it at the DARQ guy, that's an awful lot of QA testers he can hire in Cowhump, Montana to play through these games for $12.50 an hour plus 50% bennies. And he just gives that for free to Pitchford. Here you go, it's in our best interests for Borderlands 3 to be flawless, all I need is the URL to your Jira instance.

But I think they probably did know about the issues - if customers are seeing it before the game loads then I am sure there are bugs written, and I hate to blame QA for video game issues - and shipped anyway rather than delay, which means that somebody didn't stick up for the game.

I could be full of shit.
