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
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'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.

More like 80 plus gamers not supporting the NintenoDONT greed trend.
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.
Not a fan. Borderlands 3 made it happen.
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.
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.

Borderlands 3 was the first game I didnt even bother finishing, just super boring lol
Well guess I ain’t a massive fan then. Shame
I'm OK with not being a "real fan".
Yarrow. Matey. Captains orders are to take to the high seas!!!!!
I'm a huge borderlands fan. I will not be buying this for $80 lol.
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?
Suck my cock pitchford. Hope the game bombs as bad as the movie fuckwad.
Lol Randy actively taking the winds out of his own sails.
I hope he rots in piss.
Shut up. Dingus.
I was excited for borderlands. Now I'll wait for them to make it 70% off
mm yes gatekeeping and money shaming, that'll convince them.
That's what he thinks.
I will never buy the game out of spite
I am not a reaI fan ?.I am ok with being a "hypothetical" fan and buying it later at a reasonable price
Guess we all know what we have to do
Arr, matey
