To be fair, The Pre-Sequel was made by different studio entirely, but I agree that the Borderlands 3 story was utter crap. It was so bad that I couldn’t bear to keep playing, despite how I felt about the gameplay (which I honestly don’t remember at this point).
I’m playing through BL3 right now, and the game feel is fantastic. The story isn’t great, but after 5 hours, it still hasn’t hit a point where it’s so off-putting that I’d consider putting the game down. Pre-Sequel’s story did really bother me, but even then, the level design and bosses still made it worth seeing.
Most games trying $70 have a hard time selling at $70 already. They can’t will a new normal of $80 into existence even though they’d like to. At least not right now.
I’ve decided amongst this push to $80 games that even $70 is too rich for me. With very few exceptions, the only launch games I will allow myself to buy will be the $40-50 ones. Otherwise I will just wait until the $70+ ones that interest me to get there on their own. If i lose the urge to play them in the meantime, oh well. Money saved.
There are just sooooo many great games out there at much better prices.
I've had a similar response.I was kinda ready to accept the new price but then they started pushing an even higher price so I got an opposite reaction where stars would have to align for me to care about any game over 60 and even 60 is pushing my willingness to pay.
I think the only thing that might get me to go over the $60 line is if a publisher takes a chance on a franchise/concept I’d like to see more of, which these days is rare.
And I wouldn't play Borderlands 4 for free, TBH. If they pay me my hourly rate, I may consider it depending on contract length. Other than that, fuck off, Gearbox.
Guess I’m not a REAL Borderlands fan, since I’m still not going to “make it happen” at this price, and even if I do eventually buy it (and that’s an if - I’ll carefully read multiple reviews and watch a couple of streams before I decide) it’s going to be for max half that. Tough shit, eh Randy?
Conspiracy Theory: All that hubbub about an $80 base price was just to deflect from the fact that most sales are likely going to be funneled to the $100/130 editions…
It would be yet another spit in the face, if they released a 80$ base game, with the typical 2 season passes, totaling almost 300$ in dlcs of questionable quality. But I wouldn’t hold my breath for anything, because it’s 2K and Gearbox we’re talking about
