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

I've found a way.

  1. Invite Randy Pitchford to Medieval Times.

Randy Pitchfork?

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.

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...

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

If I was a real fan.
Nah na na na na na na na na

Thank you Gwen Stefani for saying all the na's for me.

[–] CrowAirbrush@lemmy.world 45 points 3 days ago (3 children)

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

Yeah, I'll fucking pirate it LMAO

[–] AnimalsDream@slrpnk.net 20 points 3 days ago

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

[–] Xtallll@lemmy.blahaj.zone 22 points 3 days ago

Real fans "Find a Way" Yarr.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Guess I'm not a real fan 🤷‍♂️

[–] neons@lemmy.dbzer0.com 12 points 2 days ago (2 children)

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.

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.

[–] alexaralvarado@infosec.pub 8 points 2 days ago

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

[–] Lootboblin@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago (1 children)

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.
