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

Aw, he’s telling people to pirate it. What a thoughtful guy.

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

Randy pitchford?

THAT Randy Pitchford? The Randy Pitchford that, because he loves magic tricks, downloaded himself some squirt porn (sfw youtube link to moistcritical) on the same thumb drive as company secrets, and then left it at a Medieval Times? The same Randy that grabbed the Claptrap VA by the junk because he was tired of voicing Claptrap for free and had the audacity to ask to be paid so Pitchford tried to intimidate him? The same Randy Pitchford that somehow "lost" millions dollars of Segas money causing Colonial marines to bomb so that they could fund Borderlands 2 and Duke Nukem Forever He's also not above putting journalists who bad mouth him in his games as petty revenge.

Fuck that guy. Fuck anything he says.

Hi Randy, fuck off lol

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...

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

﹏𓊝

I can make it happen? Okeydokey! 🏴‍☠️

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

Can't wait to play it...in 2035 summer sale. Maybe I'll even get bored in under 2 hours and get the instant refund.

Oh I'll find a way alright.

You'd think he'd be better media trained by now. But no, here goes the foot in the mouth.

put it on my wish list

buy it for $15 in a year

yawn

TIL real Borderlands fans are pirates.

Find a way?

Piracy is a way. Thanks for the tip.

TIL a lot of people aren’t real fans.

Borderlands isn't that good, Randy. Is anyone that much of a fan of a genetic shooter who's only distinguishing feature was the art style and the number of guns? (which I found got tiresome pretty quickly.) I played and enjoyed the first one, but from what I've played of 2 and the Pre-sequel, it was just more of the same so I haven't bothered since.

Yeah, the way to make it happen is adding it to my wishlist and waiting for the price to drop to at least $40.

I knew Randy would fuck up the game somehow.

Real fans "Find a Way" Yarr.

Randy's a twat. I'll pick that shit up for $20 next Christmas

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.

Looks like fitgirl will be getting my business instead

Yeah, I'll fucking pirate it LMAO

Remember how Randy Pitchford funneled money that was supposed to go to Aliens: Colonial Marines into Borderlands 2 (and Duke Nukem Forever lol)

Callender's suit alleges that Pitchford "breached his fiduciary duties by exploiting Gearbox employees and property to fund Pitchford’s private cravings," and one portion of the suit makes two sensational accusations about Pitchford's behavior: that he accidentally left a selection of "underage" pornography on a USB stick at a restaurant, and that he used his company's money to host parties where "adult men have reportedly exposed themselves to minors, to the amusement of Pitchford."

How the fuck do you leave a USB stick full of child abuse material at a fucking Medieval Times and get away with it?

Guess I'm not a real fan 🤷‍♂️

Real fan?

Bitch please. We've put up with your crap for so long and we still play it....

Get out of here with that house shit. Get fucked. Fuck you, and the horse you rode in on. At best, I'll wait for a sale, at worst, I'm never playing your goddamned franchise again because you've run it into the ground with enshittification.

Not a fan. Borderlands 3 made it happen.

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.

I will illegally download an illegal version of the game, thanks bye

I didn’t pay anywhere near $80 for Borderlands 1-3+ all the DLC…. So um. No. I’m in no hurry.

collapsed inline media

This isn’t all the games but it goes on for like another 2 screens worth for all the DLC…

I guess me and my several thousand borderlands hours are not a real fan then? The games weren't worth $80 even when they came with goodies. They're not worth $80 without the goodies. I'll just wait for a sale.

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.

Well guess I ain’t a massive fan then. Shame

I'm OK with not being a "real fan".

Or we'll boycott you shit ass companies

And my way is, wait a few years for the deluxe edition to come out on sale.

Listen, I unironically love being woke. Accessibility for impairments? Human rights? Equity? Regulations standing in the way of greed? Overrepresentation of minority demographics? Fuck yes to all of that shit. Hell's Yeah.

But the direction of these games have been poor for a lot of reasons. It doesn't feel woke, really, it feels like they want us to believe they aren't Handsome Jack's corporate studio goons like they are.
