Stop buying Gearbox slop. Jesus fucking christ people. Why are they still getting a free pass for being objectively shitty developers?

Tbh, most AAA games are ass nowadays

[–] Mallspice@lemm.ee 9 points 16 hours ago

This is such a scummy statement I want BL4 less now. Let him eat cake.

I can barely justify 50€ for a massive game like Baldur's Gate 3. I'd never pay that much for any other game that is not on this scale. But 80 bucks? The fuck are they thinking?

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 can make it happen during a Steam summer sale 4 years later. Borderlands 3 wasn't that great when you compare it to 1 and 2. I can wait.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago

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'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

[–] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 8 points 13 hours ago

Pitchford gives off some strong “do you guys not have phones” energy. He’s so out of touch it’s astounding.

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 8 points 2 days ago

I got Borderlands 3 free on Epic Games, and it still sit there not being played. Guess it's time to leave this franchise for good.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 8 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Just started expedition 33. Omg. So so good!

Point is... I'll play something else.

Well, new Doom is 90€ I aint buying that garbage. 80+ € or bucks for a AAA always online slop is just a NO.

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 day ago

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.

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

I agree, but when you wouldn't let Aspyr do a Linux port for BL3, I stopped being a "real fan".

[–] HuskerNation@lemmy.zip 7 points 2 days ago

I was excited for borderlands. Now I'll wait for them to make it 70% off

[–] a_wild_mimic_appears@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 18 hours ago* (last edited 18 hours ago)

Dead Island 2 is free on Epic currently, and probably more fun than Borderlands 4; BL 3 wasn't written well, and i assume the same for BL 4. A shame, BL2 is one of my most played FPS

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

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

I hope he rots in piss.

[–] carlossurf@lemmy.ca 6 points 2 days ago

Borderlands 3 was the first game I didnt even bother finishing, just super boring lol

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

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

[–] w8ghT@lemy.nl 5 points 2 days ago

More like 80 plus gamers not supporting the NintenoDONT greed trend.

[–] sixtoe@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 17 hours ago

ugh. i wont even pirate it. gross

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

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

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 5 points 20 hours ago

The trailer for the new borderlands looked like the most soulless, boring cash grab. Anyone put much time into it yet?

[–] ISolox@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

I'm a huge borderlands fan. I will not be buying this for $80 lol.

[–] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

That's what he thinks.

[–] lefixxx@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I am not a reaI fan ?.I am ok with being a "hypothetical" fan and buying it later at a reasonable price

[–] IzzyJ@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

I will never buy the game out of spite
