Listen, I unironically love being woke. Accessibility for impairments? Human rights? Equity? Regulations standing in the way of greed? Overrepresentation of minority demographics? Fuck yes to all of that shit. Hell's Yeah.

But the direction of these games have been poor for a lot of reasons. It doesn't feel woke, really, it feels like they want us to believe they aren't Handsome Jack's corporate studio goons like they are.

Fuck you, I'm not paying $80 for a game so an executive can get a new Porsche.

[–] Ibuthyr@lemmy.wtf 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I can barely justify 50€ for a massive game like Baldur's Gate 3. I'd never pay that much for any other game that is not on this scale. But 80 bucks? The fuck are they thinking?

If you're a real fan, Randy, you find a way not to fuck up the franchise, but so far after Borderlands 2 you managed to deliver us disappointment after disappointment. So fuck off, I'll pirate 4 to play it for 3 to 4 hours after which I'll delete is because it sucks as expected. If I manage to reach 40 hours of gameplay, which is 2 euros per hour, I'll buy your game. But we both know this isn't going to happen, right Randy?

I got bored with Borderlands 3 in one hour. Copy pasta gameplay and I’m tired of the art style and humor. I only paid a fiver but I wish I had bought a burger instead.

Stop buying Gearbox slop. Jesus fucking christ people. Why are they still getting a free pass for being objectively shitty developers?

[–] mnemonicmonkeys@sh.itjust.works 6 points 1 month ago

Tbh, most AAA games are ass nowadays

[–] alexaralvarado 8 points 1 month ago

I've found a way to play every Borderlands game, 2 is my fave, and not pay more than 12 usd, for the 3rd one which I didn't even get halfway through 'cause it's boring AF - I love Steam sales and don't have FOMO

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 month ago

I got Borderlands 3 free on Epic Games, and it still sit there not being played. Guess it's time to leave this franchise for good.

[–] C1pher@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Well, new Doom is 90€ I aint buying that garbage. 80+ € or bucks for a AAA always online slop is just a NO.

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 8 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just started expedition 33. Omg. So so good!

Point is... I'll play something else.

I can make it happen during a Steam summer sale 4 years later. Borderlands 3 wasn't that great when you compare it to 1 and 2. I can wait.

Shut up. Dingus.

[–] HuskerNation@lemmy.zip 7 points 1 month ago

I was excited for borderlands. Now I'll wait for them to make it 70% off

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 7 points 1 month ago

Weeps in Canadian

I’ve been paying $80 the whole time! Now I have to pay even more!

Either way I won’t be buying Borderlands 4 for like $100 I can tell you that much.

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 7 points 1 month ago (4 children)

Give us guaranteed emploment of the staff that built it, and you get guaranteed pre orders?

I agree, but when you wouldn't let Aspyr do a Linux port for BL3, I stopped being a "real fan".

[–] carlossurf@lemmy.ca 6 points 1 month ago

Borderlands 3 was the first game I didnt even bother finishing, just super boring lol

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

Lol Randy actively taking the winds out of his own sails.

I hope he rots in piss.

[–] the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 month ago

It's like they don't understand how piracy works.

[–] Hellmo_Luciferrari@lemm.ee 5 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Guess we all know what we have to do

More like 80 plus gamers not supporting the NintenoDONT greed trend.

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Hermit_Lailoken@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

That's what he thinks.

[–] lefixxx@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

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

[–] acosmichippo@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

mm yes gatekeeping and money shaming, that'll convince them.

[–] a_wild_mimic_appears@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Dead Island 2 is free on Epic currently, and probably more fun than Borderlands 4; BL 3 wasn't written well, and i assume the same for BL 4. A shame, BL2 is one of my most played FPS

[–] ISolox@lemmy.world 5 points 1 month ago

I'm a huge borderlands fan. I will not be buying this for $80 lol.
