Borderlands 3

£50 for regular edition, £65 for deluxe, and a time limited special deal of £85 for the super deluxe edition. I like the Borderlands games but not enough to drop that much day 1.

I'm ok with that, same as the prices for Division 2 pretty much, I'll get hundreds of hours of out so it fills my £ per hour requirement :)
 
Waiting for the inevitable games as a service crap from gearbox to rear it’s head, further approving my position for internet points.

Randy is a slippery one.
 
You see there isn't enough loot already in a looter-shooter game,so we need three different tiers of the game,and loot crates on top of it.

I’m still incredibly disappointed in how base their foray into it was, literally colours costing like 5$ each for characters in bl2.

Tbf it was optional, but there’s no way they don’t start pushing it much harder.

It works because people are throwing money at them in a game where you can get a massive amount loot from actually playing it. Now we have it costing £85 with fremium economics on top? LOL. I thought being on the Epic store would save them so much money we wouldn't need all these Uber edition versions and microtransactions. So people will be paying more for a worse experience now and defending it. People blame EA for a lot of the tricks it pulls,but they did it since their customer base supported it for so long. It's almost like an addiction now.
 
I’ll give them some more time to prove me wrong, but the history of gearbox is one of incompetence and *********... so it may be naive.

I gave BioWare and Bethesda the same treatment, and was utterly unsurprised by their fall from grace just from snippets of their dev practices and the culture surrounding the increasingly stupid game design they both suffered from.

Even disappointed by the likes of rockstar nowadays, really annoying.
 
Why should they stop if people are still going to throw money at them regardless? Everytime the CEOs of these companies put down gamers they do so since they know it will have zero effect.

They do it at their peril, it does seem to create a bad air in the dev studio that eventually ends up costing them.

I mean for big well known franchises, something like fortnite/apex can easily swoop in and change things because that’s nature of their existence as a genre. Not so easy when it’s something people have followed for years.
 
Yeah nah. Very expensive, forced exclusivity (that they've even told us it's only for 6 months is enough to show that they KNOW it's a bad idea, they just want the money) and like 5 different editions.

I'll wait for a sale in 2020, it's not an MMO, there's no benefit to spending extra on day 1.
