I'm VERY worried about this. They haven't exactly been the staple of quality.
I would not buy a single thing from Gearbox other than Borderlands, let's be honest they have been overwhelmingly shit forever, but BL somehow always manages to not be shit.

Conspiracy  :lol :lol :lol

Also Tencent owns 40% of Epic, not 'a small fraction'.

But sure whatever if you wanna buy into a consumer unfriendly shit store with 0,1 the features that Steam has, hellbent on creating a walled garden economy in pc gaming, be my guest. And let that EGS client scan your pc and information without having you give it an okay to do that.

I won't bend my ass over for Epic to fuck me. Anyone who does have fun getting rammed. And thanks for creating that slippery slope and riding it :).

In a few years no games will launch on Steam anymore, each publisher will have their own launchers and you can kiss Steam goodbye.

Seems like a great compromise.. or maybe.. no it doesnt lol

Gamers who are like ? I just wanna play games dun care about what client ? remind me of the people who cried ? who cares about MTX? I just wanna play gamm?

No clue what kind of consequences all this shit will have

Well at least the Huwaei thing has some basis in logic;  they are a Chinese company, Epic is not.

I appreciate the anecdote though lol, I do the same thing.  HEY I WORKED ON THAT THING YOU JUST USED BINCH!

Full disclosure, I've worked with hauwei and I've seen some of the data they capture from 4G devices/towers. Don't claim to say I've seen it all and give it a clear, just saiying it's unbelievable what people would acuse them of with no evidence. I've worked with people at western companies that capture some insidious shit, but always seem to skate cause they're our own boys.

My experience with Borderlands was playing the Vita port for a little bit whenever that came out.  It was buggy and fucked up on me, so I quit pretty early. 

Just picked up all the games and all their DLC on Steam for $40.  Most of that was BL1 Enhanced- BL2+all DLC and Pre-Sequel+all DLC was like $13.

LOL, and what consequences have microtransactions really have?  I can't even remember ever paying for one personally.. maybe I just pay the "right" games but their existence hasn't affected me.   13 years after horse armor...

I would rather every game came to Steam, and I'd buy every game via Steam if they did.  That's definitely a fact... but buying games through other stores somehow doesn't ruin my experience,  really at most it just makes setting up a new PC a bit more of a pain.

What the fuck? Are you even serious here? Good to hear it's existance hasn't affected you, it has literally affected the entire gaming industry in almost every way.

The fact that you can't even unlock a character in a fighting game? The fact you can't even unlock anything these days? Everything is purchasable. Imagine if Sekiro had you buying extra prostetics through microtransactions  :lol. Can't beat this boss? BUY THIS TIMESAVER TO SKIP TEH BOSS  :lol

Cmon man. Microtransactions have took a shit on the entire gaming industry. How games are built and played.

Implementing sick grinding mechanics to make you skip a few levels. It's not just Assassins Creed, there are many games that do this.

Just because it hasn't affected you doesn't mean it hasn't affected the entire industry.



I can't wait for the day that every developer/publisher has their own store and client, exclusive games everywhere and no centralized place to keep your games anymore  :aah what a glorious future

They adjusted, but it's still shit bro. Games are still finetuned so that they are just not annoying enough to spend some extra cash.

It's just actively making games worse, and if you don't see that I don't see how you even play games.

Instead of unlocking a character in a fighting game, or having a cheats menu you could fuck around with, nowadays it's all locked away behind a fucking paywall. It's just the worst.

Things like loot and progression were always there, even without microtransactions. Diablo 3 was perfect with loot. But what if you could buy packs of coins or legendary's?

It's just shit man. And don't tell me it's not true because there really are no positives about any of it. Season passes, pre-order bonusses and bullshit exclusives, microtransactions, early access pay to play early bullshit. It's all crap man. Nothing good for me as the consumer.

And hell yeah there are games where this kind of stuff isn't even active. But even a great JRPG like Persona 5 had buyable costumes instead of cool stuff to unlock.

EGS exclusivity is only six months, they didn't even get the full year. :lol

Somewhat ironically, they just pushed out updates to all the Steam versions including automatically giving away for free the GOTY version of the first game along with the enhanced one. The first game's ENHANCED version even has been updated and fixed regarding all the FOV, resolution issues and other console garbage that the first PC version had to deal with (that they did such a promotional push for how they rectified this in 2) plus all your saves cross over.

Borderlands: Game of the Year Enhanced OUT NOW!

If you already own the original Borderlands on Steam, you’re all set! Borderlands: Game of the Year Enhanced should already be in your Steam library absolutely free!

What’s New
Visually Remastered: The improved lighting, textures, and character models shine on PC. Enhancements apply to the base game, as well as all add-on content.

Quality of Life Improvements: Significant updates to the game’s supporting systems allow for a smoother overall experience. For example:
-- A Borderlands 2-style mini-map, which you can toggle on and off, has been added to complement the original compass
-- Substantial improvements to the inventory system—such as allowing you to “lock” weapons or mark them as “junk”—simplify item management
-- Items like ammo, money, and health now auto-pick up from the ground

Rewards Ready: With the addition of the SHiFT player rewards program, you can now use Golden Keys to unlock special in-game items and rewards. Returning SHiFT users who’ve played Borderlands 2 or The Pre-Sequel on PC will receive 75 free Golden Keys, as well as two randomly selected all-new weapons, for their first newly-created Vault Hunter.

Added Firepower: A new set of six named, custom-skinned Legendary weapons make the base game’s arsenal even deeper. Beat bosses or gather Golden Keys for a chance to collect ‘em all.

Badder Boss Battle: In direct response to fan feedback, the campaign’s final boss encounter has been adjusted to be more engaging, challenging, and rewarding.

Cosmetic Customization: For the first time, you will be able to customize your Vault Hunter beyond simply selecting a color scheme. Each of the four available characters has five brand new cosmetic heads unlocked and equippable right from the start of the game.

ALL DLC: Didn’t own any Borderlands DLC? Now you got it all! On BOTH the original game and in Borderlands: Game of the Year Enhanced!
2 and The Pre-Sequel also got patches alongside the 4K texture pack downloads:
Quote
What’s New?
The Ultra HD Texture Pack is a free visual upgrade available to both new and existing product owners. On PC, players will have the option to download the texture pack for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel and Borderlands 2 separately.

The Ultra HD Texture Pack includes:
Remastered 4K environment textures, including geometry and skyboxes
Remastered 4K characters and vehicles
Remastered 4K weapon meshes and textures
Improved Anti-Aliasing, including improved edge line implementation
-- This includes improved ink line definition and framing/outline around character models
Higher Resolution Dynamic Shadows
-- Improved quality and smoothness of shadows, especially during movement
Improved Screen Space Ambient Occlusion
--An improved SSAO method for more realistic ambient lighting

Please note that some of the above visual improvements are automatically enabled when the Texture Pack is installed. There is no need to manually enable them in the in-game Video settings menu.
Seems they might have actually ported the first game to 2's version of the engine as I can't imagine backporting all those features... either that or all of them to Unreal 4? I don't remember if the PS4/Xbone Handsome Collection were on 4 like the Batman re-releases were ported.

Given the volatility in recent Epic Game Store related threads we have decided that some clearer guidelines are required to cultivate healthier discussion.

Addendum: It's fine and often healthy to be critical of media coverage (ex: "I don't think this article is good and here's why"), but please avoid going down any rabbit holes with excessive vitriol and conspiracy theories (ex: "This outlet is clearly paid off because I don't agree with their coverage"). We've long had a general policy against hyperbolic vilification of the media and that rule has not been suspended.

It's fully fledged, with sidequests and everything. Meets the BL2 standards completely. :leo Takes about 2 hours to finish the main quest.

Crucially, it does not uplift an existing character to lvl 30. I didn't try making a new game. If there's a fast travel station early on you might be able to warp to it and the be uplifted to 30, but I didn't bother trying (because of how annoying the beginning is).

Aside from a very mediocre perfomance in both performance and resolution mode while playing splitscreen, this is very disapointing. :(

Menus are laggy as hell, even more in splitscreen.

As a couch-coop experience this is actually worse than Borderlands 2 and TPS on PS3 and only barely playable without getting headaches.

No wonder there were no console reviews, f*** 2k and Gearbox.

I just want to know why you'd want to play this split screen in the first place? Looks like I am deffo waiting to play this on PC.

Played for a few hours tonight and dug it.

Lots of nice quality of life improvements since BL 2.

Mantling feels good. Sliding feels good. Driving which I always hated and made other people do feels better

Individual loot is amazing and fixed my#1 issue when I play with my selfish friends.

I still wish there was a mod system in place so that you could turn common gear into something cool like in say Path of Exile but I liked what I saw from what I played.

I think it’s funny either way, and Jim is a comedic YouTuber so I don’t have any issue with it at all just don’t know why it deserves props, it’s fairly predictable considering Jim’s content.  But don’t know why any other normal reviewer would mention it.

Knowing this fact and thinking about it constantly is paramount to my enjoyment of the game.

The loot is absolutely terrible for pretty much 80% of the game - only when you get the occasional orange unique guns/etc is when you start to really have some fun.

I used FL4K and he's pretty shit until you level up and start building up the trees to stack buffs / make your pet stronger.

Recently finished up my first two characters to complete the game. I really liked it. The campaign felt crazy long for me with all the side missions which is a good thing.

The story probably wasn't as good as borderlands 2 but I didn't hate it or anything. As mentioned above I thought the gun play was great compared to the prior games and I agree about the particle effects. The combat looks bat shit crazy and cool with all the effects going off.

I'll wait for the season pass to hit discount prices before I pick it up myself.

First DLC coming Dec 19

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3VnCbIf1MY

Jumping back into this briefly since Destiny has settled down for a bit. Messed with the Halloween stuff, it's pretty basic stuff, you kill ghosts, then do a mini-strike (feels very Destiny in structure) and hope you get loots.

Yesterday they released a free update that added the first "raid boss" (called a Takedown now). It's meant for 4 players (and you can matchmake to find people) but you could obviously solo it if you have a fat cock.

Structure is pretty simple - kill lots of shit, then you get to the "boss" encounter. If you die, you can't respawn and have to spectate. You all die, and you start back over to the nearest checkpoint and start again (meaning kill all the trash mobs again).

The boss fight was pretty cool - I did it on Normal mode because I just wanted to try it out, but I might bump up a Mayhem level or two.

They also added Mayhem 4 which is just basically "buff the enemy health to who the fuck caresville" and you get more loots. I've been using it to farm the Gravemind boss since it's easy enough. Lots of nerfs/buffs since launch, but my FL4K crit build seems to feel just fine - though I did tweak it a little bit based on some recommendations. All I can do at this point is farm for specific guns and mods with specific perks. So... Destiny.

Trying (in vain, so far) to find video of that quest dialogue.

I played this dlc.  Didn't really take it that way in context, seems like a reach.

Basically he tells lilith to piss off because he's investing in his own "cryptocurrency", and you humor him on his scheme which involves literal mines, and blocks with chains on them, it fails horribly, like all claptrap schemes, and then begs lilith for his old job back.  The entire time she's just replying to him "...kay."  It felt....internally consistent with how the rest of the cast usually treats claptrap.

That aside, his new voice is definitely leaning more into annoying than.....cheerful-but-because-there's-a-gun-to-his-head-programatically-hiding-a-deep-well-of-sadness.  I don't enjoy him as much.
