    Or get it second-hand off G2A or CDKeys.

    I'm never paying $80 for a video game.

      I'm not a huge fan of Borderlands. I like the stories. But I don't like the loot goblining. Constant hunt for ever higher damage numbers.

      There's only 1 company I'll pay $80 for a new game. And that is Ryu Ga Gotoku. Cuz they don't miss. No bad half finished launches. No bad games. Every game is a masterclass in Peak.

      I'll add Factorio to the list of games that deserve the $80 tag. $40 for base, $40 for Space Age expansion. Or don't get Space Age and go with the mod that spawned Space Age (although not exactly the same).

      I get it's a bit of a niche genre, though. The factory thing the way Factorio does it isn't for everybody.

            Like waiting 6 months for them to panic over low sales and put on 50% sale?

            Maybe, or maybe I'll wait for the ultimate edition with all dlc to hit $40

            When $40 is half price, I will generally pass as if it were $80. There is a glut of amazing content out there for $40 or less, and much of it is truly inspired indie work. When your half-price game is competing with great full-price indie titles, I will continue to ignore your overpriced corporate muck.

              I honestly don't know how people play this game. Every 12 seconds coming across new gear. Can't do it.

                  It didn’t used to be like that and they actually mentioned in the deep dive that they’re getting back to the way it was before. Like the point of the game is loot goblining, but they’ve promised not to inundate the player with legendary weapons every twelve seconds so that you actually have time to savor the weapons you get between good drops.

                      Can you recommend me a starting point? For someone who has no experience with these games, or any Japanese games besides Soulsgames and RE4 remake.

                      Feel free to roast me in the process.

                      Yakuza 0, kiwami, kiwami 2, Yakuza 3, 4, 5, 6, then 7, then Gaiden, then 8.

                      Then play Judgement and Lost Judgement. Not part of Yakuza's core canon. But adjacent.

                        If you're a real fan, Randy, you find a way not to fuck up the franchise, but so far after Borderlands 2 you managed to deliver us disappointment after disappointment. So fuck off, I'll pirate 4 to play it for 3 to 4 hours after which I'll delete is because it sucks as expected. If I manage to reach 40 hours of gameplay, which is 2 euros per hour, I'll buy your game. But we both know this isn't going to happen, right Randy?

                                    I found a way already, it's called patience. Works well for basically any non nintendo game.

                                        Not a fan. Borderlands 3 made it happen.
