I've seen multiple people compare this to Bioware in their prime, and... it's not even close imo. Like, this game isn't terrible, but it's very very much a "Spider" game. Probably the best one they've made, but it's nowhere near Bioware.
With that out of the way, you're right that the performance issues are absolutely inexcusable. You're also right that it's perfectly fine to criticize things for staying the same. But also, what did you want from this? How did you want Borderlands to evolve knowing that it's well... still Borderlands? They improved the combat, the movement, how the guns feel, the action skills, etc. Save for adding some sort of create a character, or fundamentally changing the core of what makes Borderlands Borderlands, what else is there?
I dont really get the criticism here. This is literally just "Borderlands but better". Everything's imporoved, everything feels better. Same old story written by a 5 year old, same old humor not even 2 year olds find funny anymore.
Like... this is exactly what I wanted. I wanted MORE Borderlands. Were people expecting this to be Destiny?
I want to like this game more than I do. It FEELS great. There's an impact to your guns, enemies react to getting hit, etc. But there's just so much... bullshit. Especially in boss fights. It's like they couldn't design a good fight, so they instead shoved a bunch of respawning enemies in there. The bosses aren't even remotely complicated, the hundred or so mobs they throw at you is why anyone dies.
