A modder has created a Borderlands 4 mod that reduces the filesize from 200 to 57 GB via deleting all unused voice language and old patch files. Why can't modern game devs optimize their games?https://www.nexusmods.com/borderlands4/mods/390?tab=descriptionhttps://github.com/nanafy/bl-slim/releases/tag/v1.3.0

>Why can't modern game devs optimize their games?stop being transphobic>>750588750preach it sister
>>750588750How do you know someone is an anti-AI activist? Don't worry, they'll tell you soon enough.
>paying for unoptimised garbage in the first place
i have an even better way, i don't play this trash game and i save the whole 189gb and my time on top
>>750588728I haven't played Borderlands since BL3.Is the gameplay good? Did the fourth game get all it's DLC yet ?
>>750588728Cangrats anon you discovered repacks
>>750588728that's pretty cool. but until they put teen gaige in the game im still not really interested.
>>750588728these games are all rushed out of the door and trimming shit out doesnt make the corporation money so its not considered essential.
>>750588895Gameplay is good but open world is shit. As far as we know, this cis currently the last dlc unless they do a season 2.
>>750588895I'm playing through 4 right nowThe guns aren't as interesting as 3, but you get a jetpack and an air dash which makes the combat pretty fast and freneticThe story is a 7/10, which is a significant improvement over the 1/10 story of BL3I haven't played through the DLC yet but I don't think it got as many new stories/zones as 3 did
>>750588895it's exacly the same, but on unreal engine 5 so with MUCH worse performance
>>750589023Consensus overall was the Fl4k dlc is great, Ellie's is mid.
>>750588728This is what repacks do, nothing new
>>750588829Most miserable people on the planet.
>>750588728Because CDNs are retarded and you would have to set up all these things as free DLCs that users have to wade through and probably get wrong and just be frustrated with. This is Gabe's fault not devs.
>>750588895If you've played any looter shooter with abilities like Destiny 2 you'll just be disappointed. The characters and abilities in Borderlands 4 are all so fucking boring in comparison
>>750589175I seriously wonder why the left hates AI so much when they didn't give a shit about the hundreds of other issues that had similar problems like migrants taking jobs or poorly optimized troon code.
>>750589286because they support that shit
>>750589116Who is he? He's cute
power and water prices haven't even skyrocketed yet. if you think people hate AI now, you have no idea what's coming down the pike
>>750589257That's not even close to the problem anon.CDNs have no relation to bad programming and bad design.Stuff like this is unironically designed to be modular in the first place, if a game runs without half of its files - its because they're unnecessary.Torrents exist and can be terabytes big, where you can download individual files.Updaters exist that update individual files.It might well be 'a pain' to allow users to select the audio/text languages BEFORE downloading, but the cost savings of not sending 3x the file space would easily outweigh any potential problems.This is a man made problem, caused by a general lack of faith in human intelligence - which has become a blight upon the race. Nobody learns anything if nobody needs to.
>>750588728>denuvo removed>size cut by -70%Alright I'll play your game
>>750589286the opposite also fails to make sense to me. Aren't the right all about greek/roman sculptures and retvrning to times when men created true beauty? AI gen is not only not man made but also modernist.
it's funny because when BL4 launched it was like 28 GBs on PS5
>>750589667it still requires dual 5080s to run at 60 fps
>>750589732On 1080p?
>>750588728>optimization is when you're forced to sit for hours downloading files every time you change the languagealso>caring about 189GB when storage is cheapAre you some poor retard who thinks a 1TB nvme drive is all the storage your ewaste machine needs?
>>750589732I get 68fps at 1440p on a 4070
>>750589812>200gb games are fine, actually
>>750588728
>>750588895despite everything wrong with bl3 they managed to make a couple hotties. even somehow made that stupid sidebuzz haircut look hot.
>>750589812>takes hours to download 130gb>calls other people poor
>>750589812Why would you ever change the language?
>>750589676>but what about....thanks for proving my point
>>750589812Yes, yes (you) are.
>>750590080so you can download the other 2/3 of the gameand realize that there is not other 2/3
>>750589638It's platforms like Steam that put the files on your computer, not the game itself. Some games already provide HD textures as free DLC to deal with this but it's stupid. Steam should for example know your preferred language and your resolution to download what your device needs. This also requires allowing devs to set up content packs for different ranges of resolutions, languages etc in Steamworks.
>>750590341Literally what I just said, thanks anon.Glad you agree with me and understand that things dont have to be downloaded in a 400gb zip.P.S. You dont need to set up shit. You have a repo, it downloads the 'required' files + language, rocket surgery.
>>750589175>a but 10mb ram osyeah it's called windows 95
>>750588829What do you think activist means?
>>750588728They intentionally increase these filesizes because they think it deters pirates from downloading them.
>>750588728Is someone gonna tell bro that the industry isn't about making anything better for the player?
>>750588728Thanks, even works on my pirated copy.
>>750589175That's sounds pretty sick if true.
>>750588728That has nothing to do with optimization, retard
>>750595120>optimizing for file size isn't optimizingretard
AAA lobby is about>needlessly increasing visuals to sell new gpu hardware>needlessly bloating file size to sell more ssd hardware
>>750595275>cleaning your desk is optimization>brushing my teeth is optimization>everything and nothing and everything is optimizationExpand your vocabulary.
>>750588728It's by design, they don't want you to install other games
>>750591519If thats the case its not working. I had to re-pirate a 200GB game 3 times in 1 day because re-packs refused to work.
>>750595120You are so fucking stupid it hurts *me*.
>>750589286AI is:>a threat to criminals>a threat to legacy media>dominated by outliers>outside of government controlIt's a nightmare for racist communists.
>>750589286>bootlicking corporations and millionaires who don't give a fuck about your faggotty assKeep kicking yourself in the balls to own the libs, it's a fetish at this point.
Why do games even include all voices? Just add them as optional free DLCs when installing.
>>750597601Are you okay, retard?
>>750597789I accept your concession.
>>750597914Not an argument.
>>750593093Good to hear, downloading now
>>750588728They can't do the audio thing specifically because the infrastructure isn't there and it's actually the normal practice to be able to choose the language in game. There's no incentive to create 50 different keys for every lock in the building when everyone has been making "skeleton keys" more or less since like the PS2 era.And you didn't need ai sloppa to do this, this has existed for like the better part of 15 years.
>>750589945>nooo why isn't the file size of a 2026 game the same as a 2006 game
>>750599994Tech is supposed to improve not get worse
>>750588728>Why can't modern game devs optimize their games?Buddy, they probably laid them off or moved them to another project, no time for optimization.
>>750601670Few things truly just improve, there is inevitably always a give and take.
>>750588728I wish Gearbox would do this shit on BL3. I've felt like playing it again and it's 140gb and I just don't fucking feel like making space for it and downloading it
>>750588829>>750588783>retarded anons can't sniff out false flagging
>>750588750>Bloat is actually soulfulI worry about you people.
>>750589286look at the threads about the tranny freaking out that an anon leaked the Mario kart app. they're power hungry bastards that get off the attention
>>750588728>installing triple A sloppa>in 2026
>>750603924Two things can be bad at the same time.
>>750598978>They can't do the audio thing specifically because the infrastructure isn't thereYes they can retardIt's LITERALLY as simple as make the player choose the language on install, and don't download any languages except the ones choses. That's it.>it's actually the normal practice to be able to choose the language in gameIt's "normal" is not a defense. There is no valid reason for anyone to ever change the language after installing. You pick the language you speak, and you never change it.
>>750604246>My doctor is a sexist but he's the only one who knows how to cure my fatal disease.>Nope, I'd rather die because he's sexistThis is you.
>>750604468>>750604246>>750603924I got reminded of this skit for some reason.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b3dI51aGav4
>>750595425>>750601670>fidelity increases are a heckin conspiracy!!!!>also things are magically supposed to get smaller despite that not being how storage works at allDo any of you faggots ever stop to think and realize how genuinely insane you sound?
>>750589676No we are about returning to beauty, however that gets made. Trannies are mad we can just ask for classical statue and get it, instantly, instead of being denied and supplied with a low poly pile of dicks cumming as allegory for the Palestinian plight
>>750595804>>cleaning your desk is optimizationIn what world is it not? Organized workspaces are by definition more optimal.
>>750605294More optimal for what, esl kun? Maybe learn the definition of optimization
>>750588728Can they make a mod that makes it not randomly delete your character?
>>750589175Impressive, yep preddit is a loser shithole lol
Kek it's actually just AI malware
>>750606943I don't care about any of that Trannies screeching
>>750588750>is that hecking AI??? AAAAACK-
>>750606943Deserved for playing trash like borderlands
>>750606943Lol why would anyone expect anything else from an unreal mod for a shit game, poojoos prey in the stupid
>>750606943that's a different mod, but you knew that already,
