Weeps in Canadian

I’ve been paying $80 the whole time! Now I have to pay even more!

Either way I won’t be buying Borderlands 4 for like $100 I can tell you that much.

100% agree. I no joke own about 900 games I haven't played between steam (most bought when I was young and naive, probably bought like 10 games in the last 10 years now I know better), epic free games, and playstation plus monthly "free" games (not even counting the catalogue you now get access to), yes they're technically not entirely free but I'd be paying for plus regardless so they kinda are.

Now as a lot of these games weren't chosen by me, by no means do I want to play them all, and some are duplicates across platforms. But if even 10% interest me, that's still 90 games. I probably play games at a rate slower than 1 per month. That's years of games to me. And more will be stacking up in that time. I haven't bought a game in like 3 years and it's entirely possible I'll never buy a game again at this rate.

I got bored with Borderlands 3 in one hour. Copy pasta gameplay and I’m tired of the art style and humor. I only paid a fiver but I wish I had bought a burger instead.

I'm absolutely ready to pay 80$ for a game. But then I don't want to see scummy shit like lootboxes or advanced access in it. If I pay 80$ I expect to see a game release that isn't half-baked and has to get fixed with hotfixes and patches over the next two months but that just works out of the box and that doesn't try to get me to spend even more money on it. That also includes no content that they've already produced being held back for DLCs.

put it on my wish list

buy it for $15 in a year

yawn

TIL real Borderlands fans are pirates.

I personally prefer mindustry

Give us guaranteed emploment of the staff that built it, and you get guaranteed pre orders?

Oh I'll find a way alright.

This has always been my counterpoint for the Nintendo haters when they complain about price. (Although they are a shit company in several other ways) Because when my daughter wants a new switch game if its a top tier Nintendo title its going to be a finished game with zero bugs and zero concern about problematic content for me.

I've been a big Borderlands fan for 10+ years. I played through the first one multiple times and loved it. My wife and I bonded over BL1 when we first started dating.

Was super excited for BL2, and have played it many times throughout the years.

But the pre-sequel was a let down, and BL3 felt soulless and lacked the same spark as BL2.

Tiny Tina Wonderlands was great, and felt like a return to what made BL2 so fun.

All that to say, I don't have high hopes for BL4, nor will I be paying $80 for it. It just feels like they're coasting off the brand name at this point and trying to exploit longtime BL players like myself.

That's legitimately how I read what he was saying at first.

I feel like if it drops that much in one year, it's probably a pretty shit game anyway right?

Wait, how do you guarantee employment to a team after their work and contract is complete?

It's like they don't understand how piracy works.

If it being Borderlands 4 wasn't enough of a tip considering the stellar writing we had on pre-sequel and 3.

They become pirates if necessary.

I thought Borderlands was lots of fun, but not four games (for now) and a movie (for now) worth of fun. Even two games was pushing it a bit. You can only stretch things out so much.

I've found a way to play every Borderlands game, 2 is my fave, and not pay more than 12 usd, for the 3rd one which I didn't even get halfway through 'cause it's boring AF - I love Steam sales and don't have FOMO

Guess I'm not a real fan. Fuck you Randy. He's such a cunt.
