I've been playing through the Borderlands games for the first time lately and really enjoying them. I should be through the Pre-Sequel and 3 by then. Also, there's probably something we can infer about the GTA 6 release date from this, given the leak that Mafia: The Old Country comes out August 8th.

If the BL3 “balancing” shenanigans happen again, it would be best to wait a year or two to play BL4 so you know how Randy wants you to play the game and you won’t get frustrated when your single player build gets nerfed into oblivion.

Does BL3 still have respec stations like the earlier games?

I always found the respec fee so low as to be essentially free. The bigger barrier was remembering what skills I had specced into lol

As opposed to paying actual real-world currency to respec a character... Like in monster hunter wilds 🙃

Where the hell are you paying real world currency for a respec in Monster Hunter Wilds?!

This makes me think he knows something we don't. Is he trying to dodge GTA 6's release date? There wouldn't be another reason to move the launch date up by two weeks.

[–] ampersandrew@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

It's my thought as well, but Ghost of Yotei was scheduled for October already, and Sony would surely know when GTA comes out, so maybe it's a November game? Borderlands will likely be enough of a time sink that you might want a few months after it before releasing a GTA.

Randy should release it a day early.
