Borderlands 4 is finally here and the reaction is… well, mixed. Players mainly seem irked by a slew of performance issues on PC, though stuff like 2K's overbearing terms of service haven't helped either. But it's easy to get too negative: the patches will flow, Gearbox will improve the performance, and we'll be left with another Borderlands game. Which means a billion guns, gorgeous looks, and some questionable humor. Kotaku has already noticed one joke, however, that seems like a straight-up dig at Embracer Group, former owners of Gearbox.
One early game location is called "Embracer's Bluff", a run-down place crammed with garbage and containing two rather pointed side quests. The first involves a murderous vending machine that kills a would-be customer, while the second is centred on a talking AI-powered toilet that everyone hates. The cherry on top is the ruler of Embracer's Bluff, who seemingly lives in a hot tub surrounded by dildos.
