2. No bigotry or harassment, be civil

No bigotry, hardline stance. Try not to get too heated when entering into a discussion or debate.

We are here to talk and discuss about one of our passions, not fight or be exposed to hate. Posts or responses that are hateful will be deleted to keep the atmosphere good.

4. Stay on-topic; no memes, funny videos, giveaways, reposts, or low-effort posts

This community is mostly for discussion and news. Remember to search for the thing you're submitting before posting to see if it's already been posted.

We want to keep the quality of posts high. Therefore, memes, funny videos, low-effort posts and reposts are not allowed. We prohibit giveaways because we cannot be sure that the person holding the giveaway will actually do what they promise.

I am not a reaI fan ?.I am ok with being a "hypothetical" fan and buying it later at a reasonable price

The trailer for the new borderlands looked like the most soulless, boring cash grab. Anyone put much time into it yet?

Guess we all know what we have to do

Since I didn’t enjoy the handsome collection I wouldn’t buy it at any price, but even for games I do enjoy I wait until they are on sale preferably with the DLCs included

[–] 8bittech@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

They never fixed the bugs in Borderlands 3. Let me rush out and get this

[–] IzzyJ@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I will never buy the game out of spite

[–] hark@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I didn't want borderlands even when it was cheaper.

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

Suck my cock pitchford. Hope the game bombs as bad as the movie fuckwad.

[–] kmartburrito@lemmy.world 4 points 2 weeks ago

I'm really bad about buying new games at launch where I like the franchise and getting burned (looking at you bf2042).

However with all of the stupid politics, tariffs, and recession coming in the US, I'm sure the hell not buying this at $80, even if I'm a long term borderlands fan. I have way too many games in my library I should be playing/finishing anyway.

I hope others speak with their wallets as well.

I've found a way.

  1. Invite Randy Pitchford to Medieval Times.
[–] KingOogaBooga@lemmy.world 3 points 2 weeks ago

Yarrr Matey, they'll find a way.

Im always thrown off as a Canadian when I see these headlines because we’ve been paying $80 for games for decades.

Video games haven’t risen in cost with inflation and they’re much better and bigger now so I’m not super upset, but they are now at the point where I won’t buy a game at release or full price. I think the new price here is $93 cause that’s what the new Indiana jones is going for

What I hate most is that the game actually costs $150 and they split it and give you a stripped version for $80. I think gta 4 was the last game i truly felt made sense, game releases, we buy it, story dlc comes out later we get it, transaction over. No online bullshit that tries to keep you paying money into the game without end. Not a game split into little chunks and sold as tiers at release

Likely pedophile Randy Pitchford.

[–] schwim@lemm.ee 3 points 2 weeks ago

Or wait the number of years it takes to be on sale for $20.
