    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

    Like waiting 6 months for them to panic over low sales and put on 50% sale?

    Maybe, or maybe I’ll wait for the ultimate edition with all dlc to hit $40

      When $40 is half price, I will generally pass as if it were $80. There is a glut of amazing content out there for $40 or less, and much of it is truly inspired indie work. When your half-price game is competing with great full-price indie titles, I will continue to ignore your overpriced corporate muck.

      I mean 50% off and still being $40 still sounds like a terrible deal

        Right? I didn’t realize how disinterested I was in Borderlands until I read that.

        I wouldn’t advise using those services, myself. Lots of sketchy stuff. Legit copies of digital games go on sale often enough.

        piracy is preferable over buying a key off of greymarket sites like this tbh

      Borderlands 3 is in a free giveaway after a year or so on Epic Games. The sales must be abysmal to give a flagship franchise away for free, because of Randy being a bitch and insist exclusive is good. This will hopefully bite them back like last time.

    I won’t be buying any game that costs $80 not when I have a mountain of games in my Steam Library, many of which are getting played thanks to the Steam Deck and if that’s not enough I have Game Pass too so why the hell would I even consider paying $80

    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.

    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
