Lets be honest here it is clear that split screen was put in as an after thought this time around. There is NO way it was properly tested because 2 minutes in you can tell it is off compared to the last entries. I do commend you for sticking with it though because the wife and myself tried and threw in the towel immediately and haven’t looked back. Figured if we need a Borderlands fix there are three games in the series that work perfectly fine.
Thanks, what I remember were words to the effect of almost instantaneous, followed by back pedalling to - significantly reduced.
But in my world, one man’s significantly reduced is a I’ll be back in a while just stepping out for a beer in anothers. Currently it’s the latter for BL3 on the Xbox one x.
And I only play Borderlands so only care about boot times for BL3. The other games are tolerable.
BTW the real reason is Bill Gates bloated code requirements.
I’ve always wanted a sci fi movie where the aliens come to earth and are defeated by seeing how bad our computing software is and laugh themselves so hard that they crash their space ship!
Actually, most of the file size bloat in contemporary games comes from the art assets, especially if you’re running the 4K/HDR version of the game. The code is the same size regardless of resolution and bit depth. I think it was RDR2 that came on two physical blu-ray disks, the second of which was entirely high res art and textures.
So you’re saying .Microsoft isn’t bloated code?
No. But I am saying that when it comes to games there are far bigger sources of bloat than the code.
I get it, the art files are huge, but at least they serve a purpose.
