Remember 30 mins ago when Randy said there wont be microtransactions?
Michael Stewart
Daniel Ortiz
Well I guess it's all over now. Every game including single player stuff now has this.
Brayden Myers
normals love cosmetic MTX though
Lincoln Reed
Borderlands 2 had the skin packs for each character, how is this different?
Logan Richardson
So what
Cosmetic fags will pay and the company will keep going
As soon as they go too far they'll be fucked, like bethesda
Jordan Reyes
About an hour ago this was posted else where.
>Pitchford said that the studio has tried to meet fan expectations around the series, and that “there’s no microtransaction-y, free-to-play kind of stuff.”
They turned around said the game will have cosmetic micro transactions. Which are literally the Free to Play transaction-y kind.
Lincoln Harris
>Borderlands 1: Unlock skins ingame
>Borderlands 2: Unlock skins ingame + some through DLC
>Borderlands 3: Unlock skins exclusively through credit card
I'll just pirate it and get all the cosmetics for free.
Isaac Green
lmao, Randy Munchausen strikes again. Lying on stage is his trait and done every time to get off stage alive.
Just imagine the physical violence people would have done to him when he had said the game is an epic exclusive on the reveal at PAX.
Jason Wood
>some through dlc
If I remember correctly, there was like $100 worth of those head packs
Not defending 2k or randy but lets not act like this is anything different than 2
Josiah Harris
Just head packs is more like $30. If you buy all the dlc excluding the season pass it's like $120.
Jaxon Edwards
Its because Randy lied about it saying there would be no microtransactions you coon
Connor Cox
>the guy who embezzled money from sega is a liar
Who could have seen this coming?
Levi Smith
Why does Nintendo get a free pass for their cosmetic dlc in Smash 4 and Ultimate but the internet grabs their pitchfork for literally every other game with minor buck a pop cosmetic dlc?
Christopher Sanchez
>only dumb skins like in BL2
Hang yourself
Aiden Hughes
why did you ignore the posts that explained why people are mad about this
Jordan Wood
Where did he say this?
Sebastian Cooper
for BL2 right?
Henry Rodriguez
>ever trusting a single word that comes out of randy's mouth
I knew the minute he said that shit it wouldn't be true
>a mainstream 2K game with no microtransactions or DLC
yeah fucking right
Nicholas Clark
Yes, I just checked on steam, the head packs cost like $1 each.
Ryan Rivera
>believing anything that comes out of Pitchford's mouth
>ever
Anthony Gray
>iT'S jUSt cOsMEtIc
Xavier Hernandez
Because the reasons are moot if you don't get mad over Nintendo for doing the exact same thing. People act like smash costume dlc aren't microtransactions even though they are literally the definition.
Matthew Hill
Nintendo fans operate on another level, it makes no sense to dwell on them because the only thing they know is getting fucked over by nintendo
Nathan Bennett
a better example is nintendo having the balls to charge $50 for a single mew in lgpe. they even blocked people from transferring a mew in from pokemon go in order to force them to pay $50.
Jackson Cox
You are the dumbest nigger I have ever seen
if it had microtransactions they would just give a sly remark at worst but the reason people are pissed is because Randy "if her age is on the clock shes ready for the cock" Pitchford said he wouldn't be adding in microtransactions but then he did. Read the goddamn thread
Jordan Thomas
so just like BL2
Christian Lee
>Trusting Randy
Aaron Young
>Bl3 thread
>B-BUT NINTENDO!!!
what the hell kind of autism is this even
Lincoln Kelly
>no kike schemes
>cosmetic kike schemes
>gameplay-affecting kike schemes
come on this also happened in fallout 76% off, who honestly believes these promises before the game has launched
Cooper Gray
I am altering the deal. Pray I don't alter it any further.
Isaac Wright
>B-but it's cosmetic DLC
Don't fall for this jew. Cosmetic DLC has zero place in 60$ games, they should be unlockables.
Jason Morales
should we just move on to a different hobby? It's become clear with Epic and this kind of monetization that single player rewards are never coming back without money. Unlocks aren't coming back without money. And we've been indirectly told No matter what you do, it doesn't matter. it doesn't and will not ever affect us. Consumers don't influence nor make business decisions in today's markets since voting with your wallet is a joke." I think I'll pick up a simple tabletop and stay in /tg/.
Leo Roberts
Asher Reed
what though? Even cars and motorcycles have DLC now in the form of for example the KTM 1290 Super Duke R having ''track pack'' and ''city pack'' and shit like that where a quickshifter and other gadgets come pre-installed but you need activation codes to actually use them. It's like on-disk DLC.
Jayden Reyes
Remember when Randy said he had parties where his buddies showed off their junk to kids as a joke?
Jacob Fisher
>i dont mind aslong as its only cosmetics and doesnt affect gameplay
Joshua Cook
Really breaks my heart that this is how it's gonna go forever now
Kayden Harris
Did he say no micros in a video or something?
David Sanders
Blow me.
Hudson Carter
The DLC isn't just cosmetic, it's literally pay2win assuming the DLC characters are good and become important in the meta. Look at smash 4. Cloud and Bayo, arguably the 2 best characters in the game, were locked behind a paywall. People excuse it because they're fanboys that think Nintendo can do no wrong
Julian Moore
It's all so tiresome
Landon Sanders
YO HO HO, YEE HEE HEE
I WONT BE BUYING GAMES ON STEAM
UPLAY STORE OR EPIC GAMES
THEY ALL SUCK, IT'S SUCH A SHAME
A PIRATE'S LIFE IS THE LIFE FOR ME
YO HO HO AND A CODEX TORRENT
Luis Brown
>Borderlands 1: Unlock skins ingame
There was literally no skins to unlock in BL1.
Jackson Cooper
so you ignored the posts explaining why people are mad
why exactly?
Cooper Brooks
>go into store
>try out new cloth
>like it and try to head back home
>store clerks block me and threathen to call the police if I don't pay up
WHAT THE FUCK WHY DO I NEED TO PAY FOR COSMETIC SHIT
Christian Green
>repeat the same bad scenario
>its fine i guess
im pretty sure those on switch only, so you wont hear much compare to BL3 which on most platforms
Hudson Fisher
>it’s the same sort of system like BL2
Was u supposed to expect them to turn borderland 3 into FIFA or something with the micro transactions?
Cooper Collins
Thankfully, the pirate edition tends to include all microjewery
Robert Edwards
>being retarded
Jordan Bailey
>but only for cosmetic items
That doesn't make it ok since that should still be part of the game. Why not just lock all textures behind loot boxes and have everyone else who "only" paid full price play grey outlines?
Gavin Brown
no you don't understand, these aren't SCUMMY microtransactions like lootboxes, so it's different!
Carter Allen
Why would anybody buy this game at launch? Its pretty much guaranteed to be plagued with dlc. Just wait a year for the inevitable complete edition for half the price.
Gabriel Morris
>randy gets blown the fuck out again
good
Asher Hill
no you don't understand, these things aren't microtransactions! they're just... small purchases!
Charles Smith
>Are those little purchasable in-game things """microtransactions"""?
yes, you fucking imbeciles
Jaxon Gutierrez
>Are these microtransactions microtransactions???
We just don't know...
David Baker
>Which are literally the Free to Play transaction-y kind.
No. The Free To Play variety is more geared to exp boosts and free loot draws you outrage monger.
Zachary Baker
Based replies BTFO this corporate drone
Jason Evans
>Expecting Randy to be honest
David Russell
Caleb Cook
What the fuck kind of F2P games is randy playing?
Shit like LoL, Dota 2, fortnite, apex, literally thrives on skins. Nobody thrives off boosts anymore that shit is archaic, the new meta is to make players want to pimp themselves out and stand out as much as possible, anyone trying to sell boosts or P2W is living in the past.
Jace Scott
Why would you buy character skins in a first person shooter? You can't see them.
Adrian Ross
I've been asking this question since the TF2 days. I have no idea how that shit was so successful
Grayson Thompson
>anyone trying to sell boosts or P2W is living in the past.
You say that but in game currencies are the biggest mover in all of mtx. Quit fucking lying.
Aaron Moore
>are small exchanges of currency for goods 'microtransactions'?
gosh let me consult the elders
Adam Stewart
You are the reason why cancer is spreading.
Mtx in full-priced game shouldn't happen AT ALL.
Kayden Campbell
>what is path of exile
Adam Nguyen
A game with bigger functional problems than this petty bullshit.
Gavin Wilson
currency that you buy skins with
Joseph Davis
Or boosts. How ubiquitous.
Luke Gomez
holy fucking shit who cares about normielands
Caleb Martin
Why would any of you cucks play gearbox trash? Neo-Yea Forums makes me sick.
Austin Hill
It's been known for years that randy pitchford is a pathological liar.
Adrian Gutierrez
Why the fuck are you guys so surprised? They literally did the same shit in BL2.
