Prolly BL2 sized which still makes the 100 dollat editionseem overpriced since the season pass will prolly be 30 bucks so you're not really saving money.

WTF is happening?
The mental gymnastics he is doing to defend Take-Two is amazing.
This guy is the gearbox version of Tim Sweeney.
The entire situation would be better if - to the surprise of no one - he shut his mouth.
I literally saw no fuss being made with Nioh timed exclusivity on Sony's part,so I think it's a bit hypocritical....
Let me know when a game is exclusive to another dashboard/payment system on my PS4.
If you owned an Xbox instead of a PS4, then that would be a situation in which a game is exclusive to another dashboard/payment system.
well on PS4 it's not possible since the hardware is owned by Sony,but on PC there are numerous examples of games being unavailable to other platforms
Two completely separate platforms with first-party-controlled storefronts =/= competing storefronts on the same platform
I fail to see how this is different.
Ninja edit: I fail to see how this is different - especially in regards to the Nioh PS4 exclusivity point
Imagine if Epic was allowed to sell games directly through an app on PS4. Now imagine you HAD to buy their games (and games from other publishers that Epic has made deals with) on it with no option of purchasing them on the normal PS Store app.
Console exclusivity is even worse than that. If you want a game that is exclusive to PS4 then you DO have to buy them through an exclusive app (the PS Store). No option to buy through Xbox. Even if the PS4 has missing features, like not cross-play (which it does), or not being able to port your friends over (which you cant). The added hassle with console is if you do want to cave and get the game on PS4, you have to buy a PS4.
At least with EGS vs. Steam you you already have the correct platform and there are no added costs for accessing the store (ignoring region pricing issues for this metaphor).
But that's the problem, right? What Epic is doing is bringing down a facsimile of the console exclusivity war to the PC market. Who wins then? It isn't the consumers. I think it is "whataboutism" to assert that consoles have exclusivity wars too.
Just because things are generally worse on console doesn't mean the current situation with EGS is acceptable.
Sorry, I'm not saying that is the case. I'm specifically addressing the comment below to note that it's a pretty minor deal compared to platform exclusivity.
Well, I don't think a whataboutism regarding console exclusivity is really constructive or relevant to the PC market since the ecosystems are so different.
Aye, I've figured that. I was investigating not to purchase for myself, but just their regional pricing in general.
Yeah, considering a lot of people skipped the pre-sequel, presumably, because it was more of the same, the hype around this being like "it didn't change, it's the same!" feels weird to me?
I hope I'm wrong and there will be more changes, but even just sticking to the four characters and tying classes to them is a bummer for me
I guess, but a lot has changed in the loot shooter world in the last seven years. I realize not all for the better, but there are lessons to be learned.
I'm beyond excited for BL3, but I don't understand why it's a big deal that it's going to be on the epic store for 6 months. I'm not trying to start shit, I really just don't get it. I've seen lots of other threads and people are mad I'm just not sure why. In today's day and age where even SSDs come in 1tb and are easy to get why installing one more program to play is an issue. Again, not trying to start crap just trying to understand.
The only real complaint that I have is the lack of regional pricing for a lot of areas making games much more expensive, and some countries are just completely able to complete purchases through the storefront making it just impossible to buy anything
Ok so this actually gives me some real information. That does suck. Badly. I can see why people in those countries would have a major beef.
Some of the features some folks seem upset about are scheduled to be unrolled on EGS over the next 6 months (aka by BL3 release).

Not sure if that eases anyone's minds or not. I suspect not. But it's something

I for one am stoked that's it's a Epic exclusive. Also stoked at the prospect of crossplay. Hyped for the game in general and cant wait for September!
Alt fire for guns, better distinction between manufacturers (possibly gun customization outside of vladof guns), 3 action skills, sliding, one big skill tree instead of three, and probably more we don't know about. Then the iterative stuff like more locations, new classes, new weapon element, new enemies, more vehicle and character customization, better coop mechanics. Not much more to ask for when building off BL2 and feels like a natural evolution for the series.
The whataboutism doesn't help the conversation is my point because it's turtles all the way down.
Super dumb question, but given the Xbox/PC interconnectivity hints, what's the over and under on Sony offering it this time around?
I know they're historically dickheads with this stuff, but I've got a mate who is a big Borderlands fan who'd prefer to play it on his PS4. I'd normally skip this because I think I had my fill with Borderlands 2, but would consider grabbing it on PC if I could play with him.

No idea, but i'm betting on it being whatever their stance will be with Epic login information being shared with all parties.
Hell to be quite honest i see things going this way. Xbox and Epic crossplay, Ps4 and steam crossplay (6 months later). But this is just baseless speculation. I'd love Sony to just go and be fine with crossplay, but i dont see that happening.
I also play games but not without cloud saves in 2019, so it's not about companies at all.
I don't live in the US. $60 games are usually half that on Steam in my region.
oh thank God, I love competing for loot with the wife
it brings back those Diablo II feels
Cloud saves are slated for May if Epic's on track with their road map.

Unless Tim decides that something he said last month is not true today. Again.
Don't worry, I'm sure in a few posts I'll be asked of why I need cloud saves. It has already happened for real.
