Borderlands 4 Price Has Been Confirmed
Borderlands 4 Price Has Been Confirmed
It doesn’t look like Borderlands 4 will make the jump in price up to $80. A visit to the Xbox Store shows that the base version of Borderlands 4 will cost $69.99.
There are other editions of the game that are more pricey, including a $99.99 Deluxe Edition and $129.99 Super Deluxe Edition.
I’ve decided amongst this push to $80 games that even $70 is too rich for me. With very few exceptions, the only launch games I will allow myself to buy will be the $40-50 ones. Otherwise I will just wait until the $70+ ones that interest me to get there on their own. If i lose the urge to play them in the meantime, oh well. Money saved.
There are just sooooo many great games out there at much better prices.
I've had a similar response.I was kinda ready to accept the new price but then they started pushing an even higher price so I got an opposite reaction where stars would have to align for me to care about any game over 60 and even 60 is pushing my willingness to pay.
I think the only thing that might get me to go over the $60 line is if a publisher takes a chance on a franchise/concept I’d like to see more of, which these days is rare.
Conspiracy Theory: All that hubbub about an $80 base price was just to deflect from the fact that most sales are likely going to be funneled to the $100/130 editions..
It would be yet another spit in the face, if they released a 80$ base game, with the typical 2 season passes, totaling almost 300$ in dlcs of questionable quality. But I wouldn't hold my breath for anything, because it's 2K and Gearbox we're talking about
Still too much given BL3 and pre-sequel.
I'd consider it at $40. See you on Black Friday!
To be fair, The Pre-Sequel was made by different studio entirely, but I agree that the Borderlands 3 story was utter crap. It was so bad that I couldn't bear to keep playing, despite how I felt about the gameplay (which I honestly don't remember at this point).
I'm playing through BL3 right now, and the game feel is fantastic. The story isn't great, but after 5 hours, it still hasn't hit a point where it's so off-putting that I'd consider putting the game down. Pre-Sequel's story did really bother me, but even then, the level design and bosses still made it worth seeing.
I'll just wait until the fitgirl sale...
Is 70 the new normal then? Was all that theater just to make the <80 price tag seem better?
Most games trying $70 have a hard time selling at $70 already. They can't will a new normal of $80 into existence even though they'd like to. At least not right now.
Guess I'm not a REAL Borderlands fan, since I'm still not going to "make it happen" at this price, and even if I do eventually buy it (and that's an if - I'll carefully read multiple reviews and watch a couple of streams before I decide) it's going to be for max half that. Tough shit, eh Randy?
I haven’t been a real borderlands fan since 2. The gameplay is fun enough, but the dialogue kind of gets cringy after a while.
I've enjoyed the last Tiny Tina one actually, except the atrocious DLC, but hated the dialogue in 3 too.
Gearbox needs to REVERT their FUCKING TOS back or I won't play it at $0.00
