Borderlands 3

Really looking forward to buying the GOTY edition for a tenner in about five years. Having said that, my Steam stats tell me that my Borderlands 2 problem is even worse than my Bejewelled problem. I know I kid myself that I use these things to unwind with on my laptop while half-watching telly, or for chewing up time when I'm trying not to chew up biscuits, but 576 hours, even spread over 4.5 years seems... a little excessive! Half of that might be my frustrated attempts to get through UVHM though.

I guess I could justify paying full price for this at launch, but... must resist! I have a library of unplayed games and of course I now have to do the enhanced Borderlands 1 again, just for the visual jollies. Makes this laptop chug a bit though!

Fear not! Your Borderlands problem pales in comparison to mine. COUGH1500HOURSCOUGH! :eek: That's just for BL2.

As you can see my boycotting of BL3 until it's on Steam is a big, BIG deal for me! :(
 
I've never understood the saying to be fair.. I mean, obviously its cheap at half the price, its half the price ! Maybe I'm not picking up the right meaning from the saying though :)

I had this same discussion recently about the saying "it went down like a lead balloon" , and how its always struck me as a daft saying because a lead balloon goes down very well , as its heavy and made of lead

It's because it was originally intended as a sarcastic remark - by saying "cheap at half the price" it sounded like you were saying it was a good price, but actually you weren't. But over the years it has become something that is intended to mean it's cheap.

It's a bit like the difference between the UK saying "I couldn't care less", and the US saying " I could care less" and both meaning the same thing.
 
Will these keys be valid when the time comes to redeem them?

I thought Epic were banning third party keys...or maybe that was for another game.

They banned a load of Metro keys that were Steam and stolen from the printing factory and subsequently sold. It came up because the last minute switch to Epic Launcher brought it to light.

Over 1100 hours on BL2 for me.

You folk are making me feel a tiny bit better. But they say it takes 10,000 hours to get really good at anything and I can't help feeling we'd be well on the way to learning the piano or something if we'd any sense. :-) I wouldn't mind, but I've only ever found one Pearlescent and have only ever used two characters. So much yet to do!

I think I may just have a headshot addiction... I'm hoping for kneecapping in BL3.

I hate the phrase could care less... David Mitchell did a good sketch on soapbox about it (called dear america). I always thought the phrase was cheap at twice the price, and that then makes sense (but may not be true with these prices ;))
 
Jees those are a lot of hours. I think I'm no where near that. I actually hate you can't get rid of that counter. It's depressing.

Won't be getting it until its on steam. Looks good I haven't bothered with pre sequel as I heard its dire.

I'm still not through Tina Tina DLC. Omg that is the best DLC ever. I love dnd so it's right up my street

The Pre-Sequel has a lot to offer - I'd recommend playing it's story through at the very least! Also Butt Slams are amazing! :D

Worth a go you think?

I never played 1 either .came in at 2. It looked a weird game so I never tried it for years.

My fav ever bit was teabagging someone. Funniest pc game ever

Because the correct expression is "Cheap at twice the price" but Americanisms. Much like "I could care less" that they've managed to literally get so wrong it means the opposite.
 
Edit

I'm a bit late lol

Undecided by the 32.99 pre-order...

I said I was going to get it even if it was epic exclusive, but having second thoughts now. 6 months isn't that long really I guess.

My main fear is if epic and steam players will be unable to play together, then I guess I'll just do what most of my friends are doing.
