Borderlands 3 officially announced

The trailer looked amazing to me. They really stepped up the graphics. I'm kinda in a wait n see mode on the villains...there's just too little information. I do like how sinister they look. I just hope the game can bring what i call "epic comedy" like they did in Borderlands 2. The story in 2 was segmented but still great within those segments, the DLC was amazing and worth every red cent.

I want this on Xbox One X if it is 60fps. Otherwise I'll forego my lack of HDR on my PC and get it on Steam(?).

Speaking of launchers, I hope this launches on both Steam and Epic. I feel like Borderlands can make a statement to quell the console-ish war thats brewing on pc right now because Epic is not facilitating healthy competition. They are attempting a hostile takeover without any regard for the consumer.

Calling the enemies 'baddies' makes me cringe so hard. If the writing is just going to ape reddit culture and memes like Borderlands 2 count me the fuck out.

Any normal human when he sees his favorite toothbrush becoming wallmart exclusive would go to walmart and buy it. Somehow games are apparently different. Because it is really really really important to buy your game in store of your choosing.

It doesn't make sense that store takes precedence over product and kind of shown that competition is bad place in PC sphere.

LOL walmart....seriously? I'm buying The Outer Worlds through MS store. If you haven't guessed already I don't plan on supporting EPIC whatsoever. If they sold the game in any OTHER stores then guess what, if that option were available I would gladly purchase it through them and NOT EPIC. There are other stores out there you know and it's just not Steam. It's like you're purposely trying to ignore this damn fact and just want to argue.

Baddies was in use long before reddit or the internet existed. Kids used it all the time playing cops and robbers

If you look for intelligent social commentary then look for different game.
Borderlands from start was like that.
 
Never thought I'd say this, but at this point I'd take Rage 2 over Borderlands 3. The latter looks like a relict of a bygone age, the former seems to be a game that fulfills the potential of the predecessor by bringing together just the right two studios.

What would you have like to have seen changed?

Remember the art style limits the "graphics" of borderlands. It will never have a massive change like Rage 1 to Rage 2.

WTF is the gaming blacklist? Sounds like some alt-right wackadoo shit.
"The gaming blacklist"? No idea. I'm only familiar with the hybolic, non existent joke gaming blacklist I just suggested he should be on and you obviously took way too seriously.

Guy still can't act for shit, though.

I don't watch Law & Order. I have no idea. The extent of my L&O: SVU knowledge is that Munch appeared on X-Files.

I find Ice T to be a cool personality. I think he'll make for a good BL character. I don't know or care about his politics.

No but seriously this is a bit of a joke now... Borderlands 1 remaster is out Tuesday and the UK still has no details at all, like no digital pre-order, no price, not even any information of if we will even get it at retail, which would be utterly bonkers if so...

Everything has been communicated so poorly, and yet, we have all known both 1 and 3 were on the way for ages, more so with 1 because it was leaked ages back... I'm throwing my damn cash at the screen and nothing is happening, Randy...

Finally a reason to play through Borderlands, Borderlands 2, Borderlands the Pre-Sequel, and Borderlands: Electric Boogaloo the Third

As you guys feared, looks like it's really an EGS exclusive.



I know you're all gonna hate me, but I'm happy this way. :messenger_grinning_sweat:

You would dismiss an entire game because the use of one maligned word? Can't you just cringe and keep shooting? Did you play B1 or 2?? Trust me, the writing is one of the best parts about the game. You go in expecting hyperbolic, clever and hilarious stories of absolute insanity. Don't take this game too serious, because the game definitely doesn't take it too serious. To give you a perfect example of this...the main villain's Horse's name...is Butt Stallion...

Spoilers I guess.

I'm not gonna pop my ultimate rage ability until they announce it for real. It feels a bit unusual to release on a friday and a Friday the 13'th on top of that.
The Xbox and Playstation logos were also curiously absent.

It will release on Friday because the Ultimate Edition will give you access on Tuesday the 10th.

Looks like I'll be buying my first game on Epic.

I'm so hyped for this.
If it's exclusive to the epic store then I guess I have no choice but buying it there, but if it's only a timed exclusive then I'm content to just wait for it to be available on Steam.

Not at all just gets tiresome when you have to repeat yourself over and over. Shit don't bother me since I can buy it on console and if its released in another store like MS store I will buy it there.

Yeah I think Upper Echelon Gamers' video (which I posted above in this same page) made some valid inferences on the game being likely a EGS exclusive. Just doesn't make sense that to announce the game with trailers and everything, and then ask gamers to check back in a few days for "more information".

Watch GTA6 being announced next year and it will be also non steam release.
I will need a mountain of popcorn though.

Unless something big happens between now and announcement and Take2 distances itself there's a 99% of that happening. After all Take2 already sold out the same way Ubisoft did.

Probably to try to mitigate backlash on it being a EGS exclusive. Kinda pointless IMO since they are basically withholding information they could have put into the trailer itself.

If it is EGS exclusive I won't bother with it since all the other BL games I have are on Steam and I prefer keeping them all in one place.

At least it won't be like Metro's 2 week bait and switch so I don't have an issue with it being exclusive there.
