Not a fan. Borderlands 3 made it happen.

Yarrow. Matey. Captains orders are to take to the high seas!!!!!

This is the way.

mm yes gatekeeping and money shaming, that'll convince them.

I got Borderlands 3 about a year after release for less than 5€, I can wait.

It's not like I need to do the math to figure out which gun is better and why. Find something with green arrows? Hold E to equip it immediately. If I use it for a bit and dislike it I'll just swap back to what I was using before and mark it as junk so I sell it next time I buy ammo or fill my inventory.

That's what he thinks.

My game backlog has reached mars so I am in no hurry. Still havent even started tiny tina's wonderlands.

I will never buy the game out of spite

If Randy Pitchford was a real CEO he would find a way to make $60 games

Looks like fitgirl will be getting my business instead

It's a combination of a huge variety of attributes and an endless supply. I just get anxiety about walking past a super powerful weapon or dropping it in exchange for something else without realizing it.

The video game landscape is already filled to the brims with more games than I need to play for the rest of my life and you want me to hurry up to pay for a game as it comes out, to ditch out the full price when my computer would suffer for the lack of latest gen hardware when I could easily find a large amount of fantastic games for less than 10 bucks and comfortably max out their settings?

Like, the witcher 3 with all its DLC, a fantastic game which is 10 years old but got a free graphics upgrade and with all its DLC, worth hundreds of hours of gameplay and a memorable experience is less than 10 bucks, as we speak, both on steam and gog.

Most people already have more games than they have time to play. Patient gamer has never been more rewarding. We fall too often for the fear of missing out the experience and hype of a new launch...

I finished GTA 4 and 5 like a year ago, on my steam deck. I couldn't care less if these games came out like 10 years ago. It gives me the flexibility to play them how I want to.

He's too busy collecting child porn to bother with running his business.

Lol Randy actively taking the winds out of his own sails.

I hope he rots in piss.

Right? I didn’t realize how disinterested I was in Borderlands until I read that.

If it ain't a purple I can basically guarantee it's shit. Just keep the rarity order in mind, and you can generally assume anything that's less rare than what you have is also worse. One of the load screens in BL1 or BL2 said When Grandma Burps Patrick Obeys- White, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange. Got absolutely burnt into my brain.

But hey, if it's stressful fair enough. I think they're fun games, but nothing is for everyone.

I’m a Loot Goblin that spacebars through the story too, but Borderlands hasn’t been able to scratch that itch in a long time.

The last one I played was Tina’s Wonderland and everything about it was a slog. I didn’t care about any of the loot or any of the fights and I definitely didn’t care about the story.

Found a way!

Too much games to play on the market to justify the urgency to buy it at release for 80 bucks. they now compete with free to play, gamepass, Indy games, piracy, and tons of past games with lower cost.

The fomo of newly released games is low when most games are released in shitty state and need 1/2 months of patches/fixes and that's not even taking in consideration that the best experience is when all the dlcs are released and make the game finally complete.

The AAA industry is fucked. In a world where quality games are released each weeks they are often but even the best way to have fun with our limited time, like tepid Ubisoft games...
