I bought the full collection last year for like $50. $20 for the first three and all DLC, and like $30 for the complete Borderlands 3 (I had gotten the other ones so decided to just get the full series).
Then I actually went and got Wonderlands and had an actual blast playing it.
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.
Borderlands 3 is in a free giveaway after a year or so on Epic Games. The sales must be abysmal to give a flagship franchise away for free, because of Randy being a bitch and insist exclusive is good. This will hopefully bite them back like last time.
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’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.
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’m a Loot Goblin that spacebars through the story too, but Borderlands hasn’t been able to scratch that itch in a long time.
The last one I played was Tina’s Wonderland and everything about it was a slog. I didn’t care about any of the loot or any of the fights and I definitely didn’t care about the story.
Per Wikipedia: In 2018, former Gearbox lawyer Wade Callender filed a lawsuit against Pitchford,[42] that alleged that Pitchford had left a USB drive containing sensitive Gearbox information and “child pornography” at a Medieval Times in 2014. Pitchford clarified that the pornographic film on the USB drive was not child pornography and stated that he had saved the pornography for the purposes of studying a sexual act performed by the female actress that he claimed to be similar to a “magic trick”. Gearbox said they would file a grievance with the State Bar of Texas against Callender for “filing a lawsuit that includes accusations that he knows to be untrue”. An August 2019 filing further alleged Pitchford and his employers of contempt. In October 2019, both sides announced that the lawsuit had been dropped, and a joint statement by the parties called the issue a misunderstanding, and further stated that Pitchford had been exonerated.

Then I actually went and got Wonderlands and had an actual blast playing it.
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 am not a reaI fan ?.I am ok with being a “hypothetical” fan and buying it later at a reasonable price
Randy’s a twat. I’ll pick that shit up for $20 next Christmas
🏴
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
I mean 50% off and still being $40 still sounds like a terrible deal
Right? I didn’t realize how disinterested I was in Borderlands until I read that.
I got Borderlands 3 about a year after release for less than 5€, I can wait.
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.
Or get it second-hand off G2A or CDKeys.
I’m never paying $80 for a video game.
piracy is preferable over buying a key off of greymarket sites like this tbh
I wouldn’t advise using those services, myself. Lots of sketchy stuff. Legit copies of digital games go on sale often enough.
I honestly think it will sell a lot because most gamers won’t be able to control themselves.
Or perhaps even find it to be worth the price.
What does a 12 year old care about $80? They ain’t spending that. Their parents are.

I hope others speak with their wallets as well.
I was excited for borderlands. Now I’ll wait for them to make it 70% off
Hi Randy, fuck off lol

I personally prefer mindustry
I’m the opposite, I don’t give a monkeys about the story but I like the loot goblining.

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.
This is the way.
TIL a lot of people aren’t real fans.
Lmao guess I’m not a real fan then!
Guess we all know what we have to do
Arr, matey
Yeah, no.
Not a fan. Borderlands 3 made it happen.
If Randy Pitchford was a real CEO he would find a way to make $60 games
He’s too busy collecting child porn to bother with running his business.
Uh, source? It seems like if this were true he’d be in cuffs.
