"Borderlands 4" has only been released for more than a month. Players of the PC Steam version plummeted by 85%. Seeing that subsequent sales have lost momentum, 2K thought of price reduction promotions. However, this made many first-time players feel stabbed in the back and began to leave negative reviews on the Steam version.

In addition, "Borderlands 4" has also attracted a lot of criticism on overseas social media.The cause of the incident was a tweet asking "What do you think of the big villain Time Lord in "Borderlands 4"? Many players left messages in the comment area, pointing out that the design of this final boss was very failed, had no characteristics of its own, and was not even as good as the brother and sister villains in "Borderlands 3".

One player left a message saying: "They (Gearbox) have gone too far since the 3rd generation. They changed the villain from a talkative person to a person with almost no sense of existence. You will rarely notice his interaction with you. He just leaves the player with the impression that he hates chaos, and has no personality other than that."

Others expressed similar sentiments, calling him "boring, forgettable, absent from the story, completely unclear about his motivations, posing no real threat, and the worst villain in any Borderlands game."

User @EndymionYT even took the opportunity to criticize the plot of "Borderlands 4", which looks like it was written by AI:

"Terrible and forgettable. Compared to the villains of Borderlands 3, this one is completely over the top - with almost no sense of presence in the entire campaign and world. The fact that Gearbox thinks this is the right direction to go with their villains shows that they have completely lost the ability to create compelling stories and heroes.

He's not funny, he's not witty, he's nothing.It's just an "I'm evil and cold" character, that's all.Instead, Vile Lictor should be the final boss - he's much more interesting and impressive than this guy.

If the entire game was written to the same level as the main mission of "The Despicable Archon", players would be happy.What you end up with is this guy with no personality, even his name is cliché as hell.After playing "Borderlands 4", I actually started to miss the Calypso twins.

Gearbox really needs a new group of writers.No wonder Borderlands 4's sales lag far behind Borderlands 3's.The main plot of this game feels like it was written by AI.

However, the writing of some side tasks is really good. For example, the task of helping the AI ​​find the meaning of life is very well written."

"Borderlands 4" had early warnings about the plot's thunderstorms. As early as in the previous behind-the-scenes production video, its green-haired narrative director Lin Joyce was already worrying:
