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

I'm OK with not being a "real fan".

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

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 4 days ago

Tbh, most AAA games are ass nowadays

[–] NutinButNet@hilariouschaos.com 12 points 4 days ago

Lmao guess I’m not a real fan then!

[–] Krauerking@lemy.lol 1 points 2 days ago

If I was a real fan.
Nah na na na na na na na na

Thank you Gwen Stefani for saying all the na's for me.

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.

Yarrow. Matey. Captains orders are to take to the high seas!!!!!

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.

[–] LordWiggle@lemmy.world 10 points 4 days ago

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?

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

[–] jaykrown@lemm.ee 2 points 3 days ago

Nope, just would play Tiny Tina's Wonderland again honestly, which I got for around $10 when it was heavily on sale a year ago.

[–] carlossurf@lemmy.ca 6 points 4 days ago

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

[–] ISolox@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

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

[–] bungle_in_the_jungle@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

Shut up. Dingus.

[–] HuskerNation@lemmy.zip 7 points 4 days ago

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

[–] hark@lemmy.world 4 points 4 days ago

I didn't want borderlands even when it was cheaper.

[–] newthrowaway20@lemmy.world 6 points 4 days ago

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

I hope he rots in piss.
