TL:DR Game is great and highly recommended if your PC can handle it. Randy Pitchford can go suck lemons for being a awful CEO.

I beat the main story of BL4 and am currently doing the post game and I can say with a very high degree of certainy that this game is great. The gameplay is super sick, the enemies and bosses are super fun, and the story is one of the best in the series. This game took the failures of 3 in stride and I can say for certain that it improved on it in every way. In my experience the preformance has been pretty good when using the recommended settings BUT I HAVE A BEEFY PC. I understand I am a bit of an outlier but outside of some hitching in the start of the game with all the new areas, I have had a consistent 140 to 160 FPS with the recommended frame gen. I highly recommend trying the game and refunding it if it doesnt work out. To simplify my thoughts:

PROS
-Great Story
-The Timekeeper and all of the command bolt bosses are really cool and pretty intimidating. Tempus Range's final boss could have easily been a entire game on his own if given more missions.
-Great Gameplay/Gunplay
-Movement is awesome and gun play feels great
-Good Writing
-This goes with the Great Story section but the characters are enjoyable and not super annoying. Heck Claptrap is kinda endearing again. He is still Claptrap but he isn't nearly as bad as BL3's.
-Fun Map to Explore
-Regions are really stylistic and fun to explore, granted if going for collectables isnt your thing then it can get quite boring.

CONS
-Lack of Gun Variety
-There is a lot of fun and cool combinations possible with the current system but I do think removing manufacturers has been a bit of a shame. Order is a cool manufacturer but Daedulus just kinda has no reason to exist when something like Dahl or Atlas could have quite easily filled the void. I do believe that future dlc can allieviate this so its not a massive deal but it does show.
-Some Trees are overtuned
-All of the characters are decently strong and can succeed in all of their trees but it is apparent that melee has been kinda shafted with the removal of weapon melee bonuses.
-Some characters like Rafa and especially Harlow have trees that are just the best by a mile. You can succeed with the other trees but like Red trees for both of them are borked. This can easily be fixed whenever the first waves of buffs and tweaks happen so its not a big deal for me.
-Preformance
-As previously stated, I have not had any real issues ON MY END. However, I still want to make mention that this game is on Unreal 5 and thus can be quite difficult.
-Cutscenes are 30 fps
-why?
