If that's true, then why could Epic only secure half a year exclusivity rather than a full year?

It's because everyone involved knew sales would drop, so Gearbox had to be heavily compensated and Epic could only afford to buy them off for 6 months.

Besides, that tweet is talking about pre-orders across all platforms, not PC.

OH NO NO NO
It has already began!

I really just don't get the appeal of Borderlands. The story is shoddy, the humor is sophomoric, the gunplay was bland, the loot system felt like it needed an overhaul mid-development, and it was not fun overall. I guess it can be fun in multiplayer, but a game like this should be able to stand on its own.

Competition is good. Steam and EGS will both be competing for consumers by improving their clients. We win.

I am shocked!

Bragging like this is a clear indicator that sales aren't doing well and you're attempting to bandwagon.

>more superior
ARE YOU FUCKING?!??

There are many different ways you can play it. Sometimes I like to start a run and only use one or two kinds of gun manufacturers or use only certain gun types or use lore friendly guns on certain characters or play exclusively using one kind of skill set, or do a melee only run. There is so much replay value for me it's crazy. Is it autisum? Probably but I'll continue enjoying these games even if randy is a gaint cuck. Probably will wait to see if BL3 is good or if it's another complete trash fire like battleborn was.

See

Cope harder.

I'll be happy to ignore Epic in silence the moment they start competing with Steam over the same products. As it stands Epic is doing everything in their power to take away my choices so they're getting criticized. When they're not competing they have no incentive to lower their prices or improve their service.

Hope harder.

Corporate spy here. Epic's buying a steady stream of copies themselves, massively inflating numbers by trickling more cash into the companies they've bribed. I'm not sure yet whether or not the companies know about this, but it's great for their publicity, and it makes EGS seem like a bigger deal than it really is. I don't know how long they can keep this up, but with Fortnite backing them, they have A LOT of money to throw around.

Everyone with sense. Everyone who understand what is best for them in the long run. Retards who make purchases without considering the effects of that purchase aren't a part of this discussion.

Steam will just need to give better incentives to publishers to convince them that sales on their products on their client will out gross whatever exclusivity deal they get offered. I don't even think Epic can even sustain their deals if a game like BL3 got 500 million for only 6 months

...

It was never about borderlands being successful.
Everyone knew Console players would buy it because they don't give a fuck about Epic. They are the reason Epic has it's expendable income. Because they all live breathe Fortnite.
But regardless of that. nobody is boycotting Borderlands. PC users are just not buying it on EGS. Console isn't part of the equation because they don't have to sign up or sign into EGS to play the game. There is no pre-order sales numbers shown let alone which platforms these pre-order sales are coming from.
We are likely to never find out.

thank you based Epic and chinks

Yeah they're complaining they don't have reviews, as if flreviees started to exist due to steam or as if steam reviews are reliable at all and not just reactionary bullshit no one looks at

Yeah. I fired up Borderlands 2 last night for the first time in God knows how many years. I was reminded of all the varying builds and play styles I used with Axton, and how different and fun each one was. I had a grenade and rocket launcher build that relied on the second wind mechanic that was a blast to play, and another one based entirely around the sentry guns. All the various playable characters and weapons and class mods make Borderlands so much fun to experiment with.

These games have replay value in spades; it's a major strength for the franchise.

seeNothing has been debunked.

Epic not having reviews is legitimately bad for customers. It gives them less information to make an informed decision about whether a game is worth purchasing. This makes them more likely to make a purchase they regret.

And it's not the major reason why people are complaining.

>a new legit borderlands\
>legit
>implying it won't be completely shitted up with microtransactions and loot crates

Sounds to me honestly like pre-orders are really bad and they are trying to make people think they should just go buy it.

...

>steam is stagnant
How so? They personally run all the social and multiplayer functions of all games on the client and constanty update and attempt to improve the client.
If you are going to point out the 30% cut then I ask you if you realize every other storefront baring Epic takes the 30% cut also. including consoles. Except Steam lowers the cut as the game continues to sell. While Epic takes 12% forever.
Steam has some shit to work on but if you haven't notice they are constantly working on it.

STEAMIES GONNA SCREAM

If you think customers are too stupid they can't find reviews in other places, as has been done by 99% of game players for decades, you're an idiot. There's nothing else to it.

Repeating yourself doesn't change the fact that you have no argument. Every time someone makes a point you can't deal with you just shitpost. Everybody watches you do this a hundred times a day. They're not fooled. If you're going to shill you need to have actual arguments.

>YEAH I AM HERE TO SHILL CHINKS ON TWITTER YEAH THIS TWIT IS A SHILL TWIT BUY AT TENCENT STORE PLEASE YEAH THANK YOU CHINA NUMBER ONE

What did he mean by this?

You're not listening. The customers who this decision is meant to exploit are the people who don't want to go through the trouble. By making it more difficult for these people to easily see if there is a problem with the game you are encouraging that they make unwise purchasing decisions. It's a tactic specifically to fleece people out of their money. It is anti-consumer. Steam gets this same criticism for trying to police their review system. Epic is not being singled out here. Reviews are important to save customers money and make sure money is going to developers and publishers that have proven they deserve it.

Insisting this should not be the case is 100% shill cock sucking that makes you more likely to waste your money. It should never be endorsed by a customer. Ever. Even if you don't value reviews personally, you should at least acknowledge that it does possess value for other people.

the last time I paid attention to epic games or cared what they did was when they were doing gears 2/3.
gears 4 I pretty much never got to play cause it was xbone only for a time and never really cared to pay attention to it. Gears 5 might rope me back in but that's another story

question from get go was gonna be what makes epic games so bad now and why should I not buy BL3 6 months early just cause it'd be having to download their launcher

The only thing I need to say is "cope" and you're already seething. It's hilarious.

Wait this is super important. If I buy through Amazon can I just launch the game on its own with no unnecessary third party software handling shit?

No. I find that customers are too stupid to realize peer review is a better source of information instead of what some news site got payed off to say.

Don't care, I'll just keep pirating every single game that is not released on Steam, like I have in the past. It's a consumer-unfriendly practice to force people into downloading several shitty spyware launchers, having just one in the form of Steam is more than enough for me.

This is absolutely untrue. It's incredibly useful for customers. Your personal opinion about it is irrelevant because its inclusion wouldn't impact your decisions if you don't use it. Insisting it should be removed because you don't use it is bogus. Other people use it and it's important to them.

Shit joke, Valve hasn't even made games for years. Besides, pretty much all AAA studios do it now. If a major game is multiplayer, it will have microtransactions.

>They have pretty bad customer service.
You are comparing this to Epic. A customer service model that equates to never answering you and when they do they tell you to deal with it.
>General UI feels like a jumbled mess especially your inventory.
To Epics No UI. That requires you to go to their fucking website to issue a complaint.
>Streaming for friends barely works.
Epic doesn't have streaming at all.
>It's just not flawless
Yeah. But they are basically the only ones doing these things and they work on them little by little every update. Of course they aren't flawless. But they are overwhelmingly the best. And Epic's actions just make Epic out to be a bunch of Jews and assholes.

Not him, but let's be honest here. What other choices an fps-diablo-clone fan has?
Destiny? Sucks and too expensive
Anthem? Dead shit
Division? Fucking boring.

Borderlands 1 and 2 were and still are top tier looter shooter. If they make same shit but more i would be happy to pirate this bitch of course, i'll wait 6 months for a normal version.

>capitalist fascist
Do you actually think this is a thing. holy shit, dont vote.

This.
'Diablo but an FPS' isn't even a bad idea but the games are so simplified and dumbed down and basic. You get one active ability, no resource management aside from grenades, it's just dogshit.

Also fuckign christ the way these games handle level scaling. Any other game an enemy 2 levels over you is fine, in Borderlands this should mean the enemies are near invincible and one-shot you.

Yeah but who gives a fuck about consoles?

>too expensive
>can practically get it free every winter

It's always so clear that this is being done by a coordinated group of shills because shitposting in favor of Epic suddenly drops off to almost nothing inexplicably as discussion about how Epic is trash continues.

You're basically in a different state than me at this point from how far you keep moving that goal

it's completely terrible as an fps. it should have flopped as hard as battleborn, because it's equally as mechanically bad and horribly designed.

Just wait, they are bound to do some stupid shit.

Just because its successful doesnt mean its right. Sadly most people dont care what launcher it is. People will get Epic simply to play the new game with no care about anything else. Im in the minority of caring even if everyone that actually cared didnt buy it that probably makes up less then 1% of expected sales and even then there are gonna be people like me who swear they will never install epic but then do to play the game. And Epic is just gonna keep gobbling up exclusives till they have enough of a built up playerbase they dont need to anymore and even then they still probbably will.

Nothing is flawless. It's just better than everything else currently available. Expecially against epics launcher.
>and if some competition pushes Steam to improve their client as a whole then it's just good for all of us.
Here is the problem with that. Epic's launcher is So laughably bad they had to try and monopolize video games to become relevant and everyone just wants them to stop being assholes. This isn't pushing Valve to do anything because nobody is looking at Valve to step it up because outside of literally copying Epic and buying out publishers Nothing they can do with such hostile counter productive
tactics.
>Hopefully EGS does fail but for the year or two they pose any real threat to Steam
The problem here isn't that Epic poses a threat to steam. Which they very much don't. It's that they post a threat to Consumers. They have to hold games at gunpoint to make they use their launcher. Instead of just having a good and preferable launcher to use with features people like.

Sadly it's fake.

This is because your login was stolen in an unrelated hack and the Ruskies and Chinamen will try it on every fucking website under the sun. Has nothing to do with Epic itself.

Do you faggots actually use Steam for shit other than to just keep it open to run a game and MAYBE use the friends list? Fucking autists lmao

i agree there should be an option to totally remove curators, even the recommendation of them, off your store page
if you don't like what's on sale on steam atm then use any of the numerous third party sites offering good deals

>I guess it can be fun in multiplayer
That's pretty much it. I enjoyed playing it with friends but I won't even touch it in SP, there are much better shooters out there.

Prices. Reviews. Epic can't compete with these things so it holds games hostage.

I unironically would be less reluctant to use EGS if the name wasn't so fucking bad and cringe

It's a fake account. It was created in Sept 2018. This is fake news. It's an "influencer"

So if that low of numbers claim free games how they gonna attract new users?

>What other choices an fps-diablo-clone fan has?
Well you could try getting good taste in videogame genres for example.

If EGS is that laughably bad then don't worry about it and let it die? Pirate their games if you need to and wait a few years for them to die and stop crying that you can't play your vidya on release? You steamfaggots would easily wait 5 years for a game to go on sale than to pay full price

I smoke exactly 0 weeds. Epic has already demonstrated that they're willing to throw tens of millions of dollars at problems in order to try and solve them ineffectively. You're also severely underestimating the influence Yea Forums has. It's the disgusting underbelly of the Internet but it's also the largest place on the Internet where you can find completely unfiltered opinions that aren't born from a compulsion to protect or further reputations/careers. If you can successfully influence the opinion on Yea Forums that influence spreads everywhere. It's the same with Reddit with the exception that Reddit requires more investment to maintain credibility and Reddit is a hugbox where opinions can never really be changed once they're established.

In other words nobody gives a shit what Yea Forums thinks, but what Yea Forums thinks is almost always closer to the actual truth than anything else. There's tremendous value in this fact.

I would be honestly more than happy if EGS had achievements, and store notifications and forums and reviews and steam community-like modding, but it has none of that.

Read some of the actually detailed posts here amp.reddit.com/r/PhoenixPoint/comments/b0rxdq/epic_game_store_spyware_tracking_and_you/
And heres one of many various articles: arstechnica.com/gaming/2019/03/epic-says-its-game-store-is-not-spying-on-you/?amp=1

Why do you people forget 80-90% of the sales are on consoles? They dont give a single fuck if the pc version is on Epic launcher.

>someone likes game I don't like
>must be retarded

A lot of retards share the same taste because they're retards. This wouldn't be news for you if you weren't retarded.

God forbid actually discussing videogames. He didn't ask for an answer. He stated his opinion of it

These are NPD people. They can't share hard numbers lest publishers cuck them and fuck them out of their jobs. You'll get your answer in September when the game releases.

The exclusive deals like BL3 and Metro are shit, but I don't have anything bad to say about Journey or the Quantic Dream stuff since those wouldn't have likely been put on PC without the Epic money.

>People like games i don't? No they must be wrong!

why would you force yourself to play a game you dont like?

In short. There are no numbers.

Why would people pick Epic over Steam? It doesn't have any fucking features and everyone has already developed their libraries on Steam. Epic is an inconvenience in every way.

>or the Quantic Dream stuff since those wouldn't have likely been put on PC without the Epic money.
Those were already heading to PC long before Epic got involved. It was started in October.

People said the same about Origins and Battlefield.

And I supposed to know who this guy tweeting is? He doesn't even have a blue tick, that's supposed to mean you're like important on Twitter or something right?

Perhaps TOO based

Because I have never played a borderlands so why would I now? Doesn't appeal to me.

It's been a while since I've seen the PC crowd this worked up. As a console user, it's fun to watch.

CONGRATULATIONS NO ONE CARES

Why waste your time posing here then?

There are, you just don't get to see them. People USED to get them because rogue employees would leak numbers on GAF and Era but then they got caught in the act and reeled the fuck back in.

Not like you need someone on Twitter to tell you Borderlands 3 is going to break the fucking bank. 2 sold 13 million copies, and people have been dying for a proper new entry since shit like Destiny is the only thing that fills the void. Do people expect this game to actually not perform well?

As a console user you should be reminded of how you've been shit on so much for so long than you no longer notice or care that it's happening. When exclusivity tainted the console marketplace it meant you needed to spend 3x more on hardware just to have an equitable user experience of choice as PC users.

BTFO in the first post
now THIS IS epic.

Nobody gets to see them. Because there isn't any.
saying you have them but refuse to show them just makes everyone believe you are lying.
Doesn't make Epic look good. Makes them look like the one kid from school who swears Sonic was in Smash 64.

>OH NO! some has different different tastes than i do!

I may have thought that way 15 years ago, but it's just video games and I find this whole thing very amusing.

Competition is good and all but EGS is like 10 years behind steam on features. people don't buy from EGS because they want to, they buy from them because they're the only ones selling the game they want to play.

You've resigned to spend more money than you should simply because you've always done it. You should be laughing at your own situation.

user, the topic isn't about Epic Games' launcher. It's about the game in general. PC isn't the only platform that you can get the game and pre-order for.
>saying you have them but refuse to show them just makes everyone believe you are lying
You keep telling yourself that as long as it helps you sleep at night

Then where are the metro last light numbers?

I remember when some gook hacked my epic account and changed my fortnite username to some random shit in a fit of rage because I had nothing on my account. I never even added 2fa to my account and have received multiple emails every month saying that some gook from over in gookville logged into my epic account. These gook niggers are desperate as fuck and they can all go suck my cock.

I never gave a fuck about the epic store and I'm not even mad because their business model will work.

...

Doesn't matter. Everyone knows what this thread is about. Don't be coy.

Imagine actually liking this horrendous series.

I fucking hate Burch with passion, i wonder if they can salvage his bullshit in BL3, or if they go full memelands once again.

no, there is a PC version with an epic code

Supposedly the story and writing outside of Claptrap is more in line with BL1.
Claptrap is supposed to be as annoying as possible still because he is in canon the most hated thing in existence.

...

Think about the iToddlers

wow nice argument there bud

>Imagine liking games

Who actually preorders games? Never have I ever done so and I don't think anyone I've ever known has either. Who does this and for what purpose?

It doesn't make sense to you until you compare it to games at the time. Borderlands was about one of the first to attempt to make an "RPG/MMOFPS" and do is decently. Not only that but with co-op that worked well and made it one of the more memorable features (it is more fun with other people than just playing an RPG alone like Fallout 3). The world was neat and far different than Mass Effect and far less buggy than Fallout.

All you fags can do is reply to everybody shitting on the games with WOW STOP MAKING FUN OF OTHER PEOPLE DEY JUST HAVE DIFFERENT TASTE and U ONLY HATE IT CUZ IT'S POPULAR but you can't say anything objectively good about them because they're the epitome of "b-but it's fun with friends!"

He's right, though. FO76 is fun with friends, but that doesn't excuse it from being an absolute shitty game.

>steam failed to meet hype quota
What are you talking about? All recent Take 2/2k games titles are epic exclusive.
No amount of hype on steam could have changed that.

Why? For retards? It's obvious if the reader understands the words.

It's meant to help ESL idiots.

A game with billions of guns you don't remember makes the babby's excited

tears are going to be had by anyone buying this game at full price from these desperate con artists. they should show actual gameplay footage before opening up preorders instead of characters awkwardly running in a straight line. graphics, animations and lighting looked awful. we're headed for another FO76 launch, I can see it a mile away.

Fair enough, although ESL people should be burnt alive.

That would be fantastic. Smoke billowing up from their repugnant favelas.

You don't "sell out" collector editions if they are online.

RDR2 is gonna make a lot of people angry when it's EGS exclusive.

The retards who still pre-order are on console.

...

Why are you guys even complaining? This give you full moral excuse to pirate the game and get it for free.
