Can Steam and EGS populations play together? Or is that a stupid question....

 

[Lanrutcon]

If people are still hyped for this, then I don't want to be a downer...but I really disliked this game as someone who blew hundreds of hours on the previous two.

 

[johntown]

Hype I guess?? lol

I will pick this up after Doom Eternal. I waited this long what is a few more weeks.

 

[Cybrwzrd]

Wow, it is crazy that they waited so long to bring it out on PC. It came out on consoles in what, September?

I spend like 55 hours with Moze and couldn’t muster the energy to play through the other classes. Still waiting for my second wind as I played the first two for 1000+ hours

 

[Holammer]

It better launch with a 40% (or more discount) for making me wait a year for it.

It’s been out since Sept. on the Epic game store as a exclusive, Steam is finally getting it too, hopefully not at launch price.

That is what I said, they didn't release it on PC in September.

To me this comes across as you not realizing it was available on PC in Sept.

That is what I said, they didn't release it on PC in September.

This is why I answered saying it was a Epic store exclusive ( release on Epic was sept 2019 )My bad if I didn’t understand your question.

Spoiler

I was making a joke

[Spukc]

game is so dirt cheap on consoles..
that i will only get this with all dlc max 40 bucks

 

[Graciaus]

If it releases like Metro did for a reasonable price I'll buy it. If it's full price hard pass.

 

[Bonfires Down]

I predict it will sell gangbusters.

 

[Krappadizzle]

Meh. The game is pretty mediocre tbh. BL2 is better and even better still with a few mods on PC. I'd wait for a deep Steam sale, definitely not worth full price. My buddies and I gave up on it after about 2 weeks. I wish I had waited instead of indulging my inner maniac and getting it on Epic.

 

[The Cockatrice]

I was excited for the game until it reached Epic Store and even then I said I'll wait since it looks good but sadly me and my friends don't have time to replay to get to the harder difficulties and the fact that after many complaints they still stuck with that old ass replay to get to tvhm which some looter games have is pissing me off. I'll probably skip this one. Stop forcing me to replay games to get to harder difficulties, jesus fuck.

yes

i beat it yesterday actually its alright I still prefer 2 as the best.

 

[Deleted member 17706]

I might pick it up when it's like $20 or less. I really enjoy the gameplay of Borderlands, but I can't stand the setting, characters, and dialogue for the most part. It's just so stupidly obnoxious.

 

[SirKicksalot]

I hope it does better than this:

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

finally, I might get it now.

 

[Agent_4Seven]

No thank you. I've much better games to play.

 

[Thabass]

Can Steam and EGS populations play together? Or is that a stupid question....

They specifically said that it will be crossplay between EGS / Steam

 

[ResilientBanana]

Won’t buy until it’s cross play.

 

[HaveButOneLife]

It better launch with a 40% (or more discount) for making me wait a year for it.

Hasn't it only been a half a year of exclusivity? Half the time we expected.

 

[Mista]

But you didn’t wait a year for if. Its half a year

 

[Barakov]

Since it has denuvo, I'll stick with the PS4 version.

Same here. Unfortunately on your first playthrough you cant skip the intro cutscene or any cutscene after. I played the ps4 version so I had to suffer through the cringe. Hopefully there is some mod out there or something for the pc so you dont have to suffer like I did through the god awful story, characters and dialogue.

 

[Holammer]

Hasn't it only been a half a year of exclusivity? Half the time we expected.

Details! Feels like 1 year.
There are EGS codes available at 23$'ish and physical Xbox and PS4 copies even cheaper, so I still expect a decent discount.

 

[Holammer]

Price for the Steam launch is 50% off. Grabbed the Super Deluxe Edition myself.
Game is unsurprisingly the Global Top Seller right now.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

50% off, good , thanks epic/china

My experience with this game was basically a fucking shit podcast stuck on auto. There was always someone talking

It is annoying when you already hear voices in your head yes?

 

[Celcius]

Nice, I’m really glad I waited and didn’t buy the EGS version just to have it early. I’m also glad they’re not trying to charge us full price. I bought the base game for now. The first dlc looks awesome, the second dlc doesn’t interest me at all, and I don’t know anything about the other two so I’ll hold off on dlc for now.

 

[TacosNSalsa]

So I thought I'd put this here because some may not have been following the game or just left for a while ..

1. Cross play with Epic is in at launch (at least that's what they said ) Cross play with consoles was mentioned in a FAQ and they answered not at this time. So hopefully they are still looking into it

2.They said skippable cutscenes was added with the last patch but since I've finished with the story and rather give a blowjob to Rosie O'donnell after the gym than go through it again I have not tested it . The cutscenes being a problem is a bit of a misnomer though as there is about 20 (?) mins or so of them in the game including the lengthy intro and ending with most being a few seconds long to introduce a character,planet or something . It's the forced dialogue where they lock you in a room or withhold a checkpoint or something to turn in/collect to actually advance . This is going to drive you NUTS! First playthrough ...annoying . Second playthrough and beyond ...you're gonna wanna stick a foot long Q tip in your ear

3. I hope you like talking to Lilith.

4.They put the fast travel entry point on the exact opposite side of where Lilith is

5. If you payed full price for this game you kinda got taken. I don't know if this is good or bad but this game has been on sale pretty much since release last Sept. (since before actually if you pre ordered) It's been 50% off since like late DEC. I'm not sure what's going on with that but hey cheap games are good.

 

[RainblowDash]

Hell yes1

 

[Ichabod]

Aw man, I've been waiting for the steam release but the new PoE season drops that same day plus I'm also juggling Division 2's expac/first season and Grim Dawn. Probably gonna wait for a steeper sale.

IMO, lots of Borderlands DLC are absolutely brilliant, even legendary (from a narrative perspective), like:
The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned
Claptrap's New Robot Revolution
Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep
Claptastic Voyage

I feel safe getting the season pass right away. They haven't failed me yet.

As someone who completely agrees with you about those DLC campaigns, brace yourself for a massive disappointment when it comes to this game's writing. The person who wrote those campaigns has nothing to do with Borderlands 3. There's "not as good as it used to be" and then there's "actively makes me hate the campaign." Sadly, this is the latter. Not all of it is horrible, but the bad parts are unbelievably "how could they have even green lit this" bad. Maybe you'll feel otherwise, but lower your expectations, and I'd hold off on the season pass until you finish the campaign. Decide for yourself.

The gameplay is great, though. Better than ever.

Yes. Like I said I haven't tested it myself but it was released with the Valentines event . I haven't seen anyone complaining that it doesn't work so ..I guess it does?

How to Skip Cutscenes in Borderlands 3

Vault Hunters now have the ability to skip cutscenes to make their playing experience more streamlined with new characters.

found the source i really hope for the new people that you don't have to finish the game once for this to work. Yes it's that bad

Ignoring the whole EPIC scummery, and the fact that IMO the game blows, how anyone could buy a Gearbox game knowing its supporting sleazeball Pitchford, well all the power to ya.

I'm pretty sure he's not the only person working for Gearbox, and some people really enjoy Borderlands.
