Die Shrink 160 (Video): Borderlands 4 & “Demanding Games”
Added 2025-09-18 08:47:50 +0000 UTCWe analyze Borderlands 4 performance, stupid tweets from Randy Pitchford, and discuss what it means for a game to be “demanding”. It's not just Borderlands 4 - past games that come to mind with debates over their performance "being worth it" are Crysis, Minecraft, ARK, DayZ, Arkham Knight, and MANY more! When is it worth? When is it not? What went WRONG?!
