I’ll enjoy buying it in 5 years during a Steam sale.

There’s an overabundance of games out there. I can wait.

Have any large developers ever made small high quality games? Or is that just not sustainable? I suppose the games would have to be repayable.

“Initial sales fall short of predictions”

At this point i appreciate the heads up from all the studios. Makes not buying the games much easier if you don’t even get on the hype train.

They’ll probably start it at $80 and be prepared to drop it down if sales are lower than expected. So gamers can tell them that the $80 price point is not ok by being patient and holding off on the purchase.

They’ll still have plenty of people buy it for that shit price if only because they’ll give it free to a bunch of streamers and fomo will get the viewers.

Blackmist, do games w "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games

So $89.99 then.

Special edition with a 6" plastic Temu tat figurine and 1000 FREE BorderBucks will be $249.99.

I’ve paid money like that when I could see the effort and love thwt went into the game. I kinda saw that in BL2, but nothing in the series since comes even close.

Sure, it might be $80,why not? Also I might skip it. Or wait for sensible sale like $5 in a bundle. Backlog keeps expanding anyway and I doubt this will be even worth half the rrlease asking price…

Surp, do games w "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games

BL3 was generic and forgettable. BL4 anything more than 40$ is easily forgettable. Don’t these guys know most gamers have backlogs at this point? No one has the money for this shit.

VitoRobles,

The more I think about it, maybe it’s for the whales of PC gaming.

Let the streamers, YouTubers and FOMO folks pay a premium to do all the bug testing.

Then release a polished version for half the price.

A person like me with a massive backlog is absolutely going to wait until this hits less than $20 anyways.

vxx,

My wishlist is long and at least one game on it gets a deep discount every week. I’m busy playing games between 2€-20€.

There hasn’t been a major release that would justify paying 50€ and more for years.

Baldurs Gate 3 was the last game I got at full price and didn’t regret.

scbasteve7, do games w "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games

If it might be 80$, it might be the only borderlands game I don’t buy.

Don’t get it twisted, I’ll still play it. But I sure as shit won’t be buying it.

VitoRobles,

I bought Borderlands for like $30.

I bought BL2 for $20.

I got BL3 for free. (Which in kinda glad. The story was so ass.)

Then I got Tiny Tina’s for like $5 from a bundle.

Borderlands series hasn’t earned the $80 price tag.

Nintendo really is the Apple of gaming.

@Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world avatar

I don’t know if I will buy this game then.

I didn’t bother with 3 thanks to it’s stupid epic store exclusivity

Hermit_Lailoken,
@Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world avatar

Yeah, that was a bold strategy.

@bcgm3@lemmy.world avatar

Will it be yet another Borderlands game that I don’t buy until the GOTY edition goes on sale for less than $20? “It might be.”

Hermit_Lailoken,
@Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world avatar

Indeed.

B1 was fun and interesting, B2 was brilliant, BTPS was fun, but slightly less so than B2, B3 was just annoying cringe.

And yeah, I played through all the games to completion including the DLCs.

DragonTypeWyvern,

I was just flabbergasted that they decided to make all of their perk trees boring and lame. I genuinely don’t remember anything about the characters other than disappointment.

Roland, Mordecai, Brick, Lilith: character design masterpieces. Distinct styles and strengths but not overly limited. Zer0, Salvador, Gage, Axton, Magic Chick 2: great, less type specialized but that’s not a bad thing.

Everyone else? Just walking gun stats. And not particularly fun ones.

stoy,

I don’t even remember bothering with the spec trees on B3.

I did play as Claptrap i B3 to get some variation, his special was just stupid

Lightsong,

That’s pre-prequel not BL3.

stoy, (edited )

Ah good catch!

I mixed it up, in BTPS I did indeed play as Claptrap the last time I played it, I played as Moze when I played B3

Borderlands 3 had some of the best gameplay in any shooter I’ve played, story and difficulty be damned. Tiny Tina’s Wonderlands was back to form, despite its disappointing post-game and 3-room DLCs. The only reason I’m excited for 4 is because the gameplay looks solid and they’ve yet to tell a single joke.

stoy,

I never liked the gamplay in B3, though to be fair, I did grow up on UT2004, which other have told me is very floaty, so I may be biased on that…

Borderlands 3 was barely worth $60 and I still waited for it to go on sale.

Lightsong,

I bought it in Fall 2024 for like 25 bucks with all DLCs. So I’ll wait year or two with BL4 no problem, there’s plenty other games I can play. I never buy brand new games.

hperrin, do games w "I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games

I’d be willing to pay that. But honestly, I’ll probably wait until it’s on sale.

But are getting argyle gun skins?
