Borderlands was not on Steam but when GameSpy went offline, they brought the game on Steamworks.

I think 2K know they can always fall back on the console market if Epic isn't a success. Not to mention they could always bring it to Steam 1 year later and it'll still do gangbusters.Honestly, I could see Borderlands going either way. I'm sure Pitchford wants EGS exclusivity, but no doubt 2K wants to sell copies of the game along with plenty of MTX. I don't know if Epic would pay enough for 2K to ignore the Steam audience. They certainly have the cash, but I think this deal would be really expensive. Of course, they are also wasting a ton of money right now. So...who knows?
Yeah. That's definitely true about consoles. I guess we'll see later on today what's gonna happen.I think 2K know they can always fall back on the console market if Epic isn't a success. Not to mention they could always bring it to Steam 1 year later and it'll still do gangbusters.
There's no denying that either way, Borderlands 3 will be one of the best selling games of this year.

I actually think they might not be able to get Borderlands 3 for one reason: let's face it, Borderlands 3 will be filled with microtransactions. The Epic client is barely able to hand even regular DLCs right now, much less MTXs for third party games. Unless 2K also comes out with a client of their own they will include with the EGS version I think BL3 might be safe.
You're probably right. The Division 2's MTX is handled by Uplay, the Epic store version is only a gateway to purchase the game. I heard that you can even play the game without Epic launcher.I actually think they might not be able to get Borderlands 3 for one reason: let's face it, Borderlands 3 will be filled with microtransactions.

Nah, it will definitely be huge. BL2 is still up there in the most played Steam games day in day out. I wouldn't compare The Pre-Sequel to a game people have been waiting 7 years for.
They only did it to show that they care about the consumers. For 6 months. ;)Epic can't even collect MTX for games in their store? Hahaha. WTF are they doing with this launcher?
Picked up Kenshi and dropped a few hours into it last night.
Really positive first impressions. I loves me a game with a lot of crunch under the hood and this thing has it in spades. A sandbox with limitless possibilities.
Went kinda off the deep end with Workshop mods and installed like 30+ based on suggestions from the Era Kenshi thread, lol.
Thumbs way up so far.
Speaking of Borderlands, I have both 1 and 2 from a past bundle. Is Borderlands 1 worth playing or is it one of those games that's been superseded in every sense by its sequel? (though there are rumors of a BL1 remaster but odds are it won't be free to current PC owners if Bulletstorm is any indication)
Going back to 1 after playing 2 is going to be nigh impossible. The QoL improvements in 2 especially with the UI makes going back to 1 really difficult which is why I'm hoping the remaster sorts out stuff like the broken head hitboxes, awful UI etc.Speaking of Borderlands, I have both 1 and 2 from a past bundle.

I'm hoping Borderlands 1 remaster is something that'll be included with Borderlands 3 pre-orders.

yes and SK tooAre 100% EGS exclusive games unable to be played in China period?
EGS geolocks China, so yeah, unless you use non-legal methods.Are 100% EGS exclusive games unable to be played in China period?
I"m sure BL3 is going to have some sort of Gold Edition with expansions/new characters.
This would be wild but imagine them including BL remaster + BL2 + TalesI"m sure BL3 is going to have some sort of Gold Edition with expansions/new characters.
So it'd be interesting to have that included with it, much like Far Cry 5 included Far Cry 3. So you have something to play before the game is out.
How janky is it?
It looks good but I'm afraid it'd be too janky for my taste.
Are we talking initial release Mount & Blade or Mount & Blade: Warband?

I remember when people were excited for PAX, E3, TGS etc.
Now they are all afraid Sergei will steal all the games.
2 PM EST so 2 hours and 40 minutes from now.
So, I'm replaying Pandora Tomorrow and, am I braindead or this game really is linear as hell? I still enjoy it quite a lot but linear level design is a big no-no in stealth games to me, especially if I want to go with the non-lethal approach.
Yeah, I think it's still possible to do non-lethal, but there're some encounters where 2 mobs are standing at the end of a hallway there's no place to hide and you're forced snipe them from the distance.I recently played SC1, 2, and CT and the first two are indeed very linear. You look at some of the top players and it's effectively all of them doing the same tactics for their runs. Chaos Theory was when it finally got shook up.
Yes but suddenlyI thought this was known when they announced the XXL 2 HD port though :p
