Randy Pitchford shoots water bottles at his landscapers with a t-shirt gun.

I'm not surprised at all, but I didn't know about this one.

I've honestly gotten tired of the formula at this point and I really don't care what he said or meant. There have been, what, 5 borderlands games so far? and they all play the same with little variation. I bought them all and maybe actually finished 2. I can sit this one out.

Dude's not wrong, serious fans will find the money for it...but I think he vastly overestimates how many people are serious fans of Borderlands.

I'm a serious fan of BL1, 2, TPS, and Tales. Preordered BL3 for that reason. BL3 showed me that I cannot count myself a fan of a game before I've played it

I liked The Pre-Sequel most of all because it did do new stuff that 1-3 didn't while still being the same type of game (they also have a bunch of PnC adventure games and turn based RPGs that are nothing at all like the main series).

I think the only thing that might save this game at this point is Randy leaving a copy on a thumbdrive at medieval times

I'm sorry but that's just not at all what he said. He said "If you really want it, you'll find a way to make it work."

If you don't complain when it's €60, you don't have to buy it on day one. Take a month or two, or a year, to save up 20 extra and buy it when you're comfortable.

You'll have known about this game for over a year now, if it's that important to you you've had a year to save up.

And if you're struggling to make ends meet to the point that you can't really afford video games, maybe wait for when it gets hugely discounted.

These are all ways of making it work. The end result is the same, you'll have played the game.

Or just pirate it. Fuck Gearbox at this point.

[–] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Fuck Take Two. Gearbox develops the game, they have little say in the price the publisher slaps on it.

[–] Sylvartas@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 months ago

Absolutely fuck take two but also fuck Gearbox

They had a lot of say in what they did to Maya though

[–] Vinny_93@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No need to bring that up, I still pretend that never happened and Maya is good and well

[–] starman2112@sh.itjust.works 1 points 2 months ago

The canon event is that I shot at Troy with my variety of guns and rocket launchers and magic fucking powers. Sitting around and watching the only other siren I know walk up and touch the guy that kills you when you touch him was just a bad dream

[–] doomcanoe@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 months ago

That's what I thought he meant when he said I'll find a way to make it work. I could swear I heard him wink through the microphone when he said it.

You and your up voters are tools.

You could shorten the title just by saying Randy Pitchford is gross
