    I guess me and my several thousand borderlands hours are not a real fan then? The games weren’t worth $80 even when they came with goodies. They’re not worth $80 without the goodies. I’ll just wait for a sale.

    The real answer should’ve been “the fuck you want, you’re willing to pay the same for a Switch game…”

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

    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

    Pitchford gives off some strong “do you guys not have phones” energy. He’s so out of touch it’s astounding.

    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.

    I found a way already, it’s called patience. Works well for basically any non nintendo game.

      You can still (for the moment) be patient with Nintendo games if you’re OK buying second hand

    I’ve been a big Borderlands fan for 10+ years. I played through the first one multiple times and loved it. My wife and I bonded over BL1 when we first started dating.

    Was super excited for BL2, and have played it many times throughout the years.

    But the pre-sequel was a let down, and BL3 felt soulless and lacked the same spark as BL2.

    Tiny Tina Wonderlands was great, and felt like a return to what made BL2 so fun.

    All that to say, I don’t have high hopes for BL4, nor will I be paying $80 for it. It just feels like they’re coasting off the brand name at this point and trying to exploit longtime BL players like myself.

        I never played the Tales from Borderlands myself, but my wife did and she really enjoyed it. She said it added a lot to the story lore presented in BL2.

        I did enjoy the Walking Dead telltale game along with the Wolf Among Us, though.

        Not OP but Tales from the Borderlands 1 us my favorite of the telltale game collection and has some of my favorite music videos ever and wears its emotions on its sleeve for you to empathize with its characters in clever real ways.

    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
