"I don't know" how much Borderlands 4 will cost, Gearbox boss says, but it had "more than twice the development budget for Borderlands 3" and "it might be" $80 like some Nintendo and Xbox games

Such CEO bravery

Gearbox is stepping into AAAA territory here. Gotta compete with Ubis*ft.

I wonder why the games lately have such bad sales. Could it be increasing the price while providing less and less non-filler content? Nah, probably just not enough lootboxes.

The fucking greediness of these people is amazing. Record profits are not enough, they gotta milk every last cent out of people.

And before someone comes at me with inflation, have you noticed that the user base is much larger than in the 80s? And that many of the companies are having record profits?

I recently reinstalled BL3 for a bit and I think I spent more time downloading it (like 100gb for unknown reasons) than I did playing it.

The pacing is bad. Too much walking around or listening to people talk, not enough doing stuff.

The itemization is kind of bad. Like yeah there's millions of guns but most of them are trash, and looking through a dozen to compare [damage, clip size, reload speed, etc] in that fucking awful UI is tedious.

The gameplay is kind of bad. Most things don't really react to being shot. It's just shield and HP sponges.

They haven't really changed much since like the first game launched in like 2009. That's like 15 years. Still basically the same game.

It'll probably sell a bunch of copies because of the brand, and a lot of people are low information, but I don't think it'll be good.
