      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

        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 honestly think it will sell a lot because most gamers won't be able to control themselves.

                    What does a 12 year old care about $80? They ain't spending that. Their parents are.

                            I'm really bad about buying new games at launch where I like the franchise and getting burned (looking at you bf2042).

                            However with all of the stupid politics, tariffs, and recession coming in the US, I'm sure the hell not buying this at $80, even if I'm a long term borderlands fan. I have way too many games in my library I should be playing/finishing anyway.

                            I hope others speak with their wallets as well.

                              I'm the opposite, I don't give a monkeys about the story but I like the loot goblining.

                              That said a borderlands came on the gamepass the other week and I was so excited to lure my boy into co-op with me for the first time in ages. It wouldn't stop crashing. I googled it to see if they were aware and all I could find was the company sucking it's own dick about having already released the final patch to stop it crashing so many times. I wouldn't say I'm thrilled about the idea of dropping $80 on a day one release.

                                I wouldn't advise using those services, myself. Lots of sketchy stuff. Legit copies of digital games go on sale often enough.

                                  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.

                                    piracy is preferable over buying a key off of greymarket sites like this tbh

                                      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.
