Same here. I refuse to do it. Even for a game I’ve been really eagerly anticipating. I’ll wait a few months for even a small sale now. Usually a good amount of bugs have been patched out by then anyway.
The Borderlands franchise is really past its prime at this point, anyway. I’ve got absolutely no issue skipping this one. Might pick it up when it’s on sale for $10 in a few years. The franchise really peaked with BL2; it’s been down hill since.
Just putting this out there: wouldn’t a multiplayer-focused game like Borderlands be relatively shielded from the lads out on the high seas? Sure fitgirl could hook you up for a single-player campaign, but who tf wants to play Borderlands solo?
These are the stories that just make me give up on humanity. It’s like anyone with the tiniest amount of power is an absolute shit heap and nobody can be trusted.
well, that’s a big bummer. AbleGamers has clearly done an outsized amount of advocacy work in the industry, and it’s awesome that we have stuff like the Xbox Adaptive Controller. Way less cool if the entire org was rotten at the top. Some of these incidents make me wonder if Barlet even cared all that much about disabled folks.
The industry still struggles with basic accessibility options in a lot of games - many studios will implement a wide array of accessibility options, but they do the absolute bare minimum for each disability, such that it looks like they are being inclusive to the gamers that don’t actually use those options. Colorblind options are a common culprit. Basic color filters over the entire screen are insufficient for most colorblind gamers.
One wonders if Able Gamers would be tackling issues like this more directly if their founder had his eye on the ball (instead of having his eye on his coworkers’ breasts)
Yeah, goes back a ways! I feel like it has a knack for resurfacing after I’ve completely forgotten about it. I like what I’m seeing here with the gameplay.
Do you guys think these companies will retroactively raise game prices for older titles?
There’s a couple of Nintendo games that never go on sale that I’ve been waiting on. I have a gift card, so I’m thinking maybe I should snag em now before things get stupid expensive
I don’t think they’ll do that for already-released games, but I wouldn’t put the big 3 (Sony, MS, Nintendon’t) from doing the barest ‘remasters’, and replacing their digital versions of those games with the ‘remasters’.
Ahh, that’s something I didn’t consider. EA did that recently with the Sims 1&2. Something like that at least. I hate that. At the very least, both options should be available.
In the case with the Sims, they didn’t include regional variants of the game, and they also were missing an ikea dlc due to licensing
I had the original Xbox all the way through the last series and sold it to get the last 100€. I hadn’t bought a game on the Xbox since No Man’s Sky and just didn’t see anything appealing about it anymore, it was just a steaming box until it was gone (and is at a friend’s, who is using it as a streaming box, lol)
