>>1744082 The one where she has a penis, I assume

>>1744055 >What makes you think its doing that? Take2 Marketing plus it's on Steam >>1744112 Everything in this post is gay Amazing

>>1744035 Been years since the last entry and now even normies have had enough of AAA's bullshit.

>>1744112 No but she can have my penis any time of day

Borderlands 3 was a pretty critical disappointment. I don't have sales numbers or anything on hand, but the combined fact that it was originally only available on the Epic Launcher for its release and the fact the game sucked (even a few of my normalfag friends admitted they stopped playing it halfway through) probably left a sour taste in the average gaymer's mouth. You can bully me for this but there are also a significant number of video essays by YouTube channels that second that sentiment of it not living up to BL2. Combine all of that with the impressively negative reputation Randy Pitchford and Gearbox have grown over the past decade and it's not that surprising to see BL4 doing so poorly. Also there's been almost no advertising for it that I've seen, so I'm not sure a lot of people even know it came out. I'm actually curious, now... Hey you, random Anon reading this. Did you even know Borderlands 4 was being made? Do you even know what it's about?

>>1744196 Might have heard it in passing and my reaction to it might have been "why are they making another one of these?", but I did not remember of its existence until now

>>1744196 No advertising as well as not having the innate word of mouth from the last entry being good made it about as well-marketed as store-brand items.

>>1744196 Knew it was in dev but had no clue it was out until I saw it mentioned on some other forum. HATED base 3 story with the passion of a thousand suns and was mixed on gameplay but thought the first three DLCs were good especially bounty of blood being a return to the space western feel the game should have. Moze was also a pretty fun character and more of a straight man to the game's bullshit, plus being an explosive focused mech operator was fun even before she got buffed to the moon. As for 4, all I know is it's cyberpunk bullshit and completely abandoning the space western stuff. So I'm out. That and the atrocity that was Tiny Tina's wonderlands doubling down on base 3's issues inspired negative confidence.

>>1744196 >Did you even know Borderlands 4 was being made? Maybe in the vague idea, that all games have a sequel getting worked on, like how I am sure there is a COD game getting worked on, but I have no idea what it will be about. As for Borderlands, I haven't played any of the games, so even if I had heard of it, I wouldn't have bothered keeping tabs on the game. The last thing I heard about the franchise, was the failed movie, which I also haven't seen, with the exception of some clips.

>>1744196 Yes, but only realzed it was coming out because of a mention it was releasing in the same launch window as Onirism.

>>1744196 I heard murmurs, but didn't realize it came out until I passed by an advertisement display for it when I was grocery shopping one evening. tbh, I liked base Borderlands 1. The endgame drops off, but it's otherwise a cozy little loot adventure with sidequests. I thought the Tanis recordings sidequests were especially neat, being able to hear this woman's slow decent into madness, but she's lucid enough by the time you meet her to tell you to put a bullet in Steele for her. I could not finish 2 because the game constantly gatekept progression to dialogue audio and it never shut up.

>>1744082 Luminyu is a genius.

>>1744196 >red text Yeah normalfags mentioning it was why I was aware. >Do you even know what it's about? No. I only ever played the first one.

>>1744200 >>1744325 >>1744724 >>1744753 >>1745225 >>1745570 >>1746712 Okay, so I wasn't the only one and it really has just been incredibly under-advertised. I myself was only aware it was getting made because of a video I watched like a year ago, and it was completely absent from my mind until a friend launched it in Steam. Oddly, it seems like it's had an incredibly "successful" launch but we all know that means jack shit compared to player retention and actual sales numbers. Plus being sold on Steam makes me wonder how many copies Gearbox was forced to refund due to the platform's policy. Reviews also seem mixed due to performance and technical issues because of course a AAA game has those at launch. https://archive.is/l3Wx4

>>1744035 >>1746686 I would personally kill every person in the state of Idaho to spend one night with Moxxxie.

>>1746762 What happened to the Epic store?

>>1746840 Do you mean for this game or in general? Epic kind of gave up trying to make it happen. From 2020 - 2023 they saw little growth, and third-party sales actually declined in 2024. Their MAUs peaked in 2023 and third-party revenue peaked in 2022. Games Market did a breakdown of EGS' stats, and it's dire. https://archive.ph/BDh8I By the way, that 2022 peak? $355,000,000. For all third-party sales, for the whole year. That is absolutely awful for the ambitions Epic had, that's about as much money as Fortnite earns per month. GOG pulls about $55,000,000 in annual revenue, and they're a niche platform for retro games. There was a unsurpassable mountain between where EGS was and where Steam is, and Timmy seemed to have realized they couldn't climb it.

>>1746840 Gamer Girls got to it

I've actually replayed 1 and am trying to painfully get through 2 just to say I've done it The only faults with 1 are >areas are all the same shit >not enough unique guns and not enough variety in uniques >skill trees are too bland >can't really farm stuff well until DLC3 To attempt to mitigate what I hated about 2 I've done the following >JP voices >modded game with BLassic which restores BL1 scaling and drop rates (as well as a few things like BL1 balanced revolvers and mashers, also a handful of hybrids) and another mod that restores weapon proficiencies >only play shorts bursts when I feel like it >limit grind to "am I having fun" amounts It's sorta working, the JP voices makes the game kinda weird but it sorta works in a weird way always Maya / Gaige panting while sprinting makes my dick hard with JP voices >>1744035 >Also the pestilent defiler is the best gun. Best opinion in the thread so far, that and the BL1 Hellfire are always equipped once I get them. >>1746821 Nigga, you're wanting to hit up someone that has had and I quote "her lady parts ruined", not that I care about Idaho but come on you can do better.

>>1746928 >Nigga, you're wanting to hit up someone that has had and I quote "her lady parts ruined" She could make me cum with her words alone, hands free.

>>1746949 Fuck is wrong with you?

>>1746949 Well you are in luck anon. She is a pretty easy woman so you probably wont have to kill all of idaho.

>>1746960 It wouldn't even havd to bd rape!

>>1746971 She'd cuck the shit out of you

>>1746974 Let the nigga have the town bike if he wants to.

>>1746954 >>1746974 go from here homo man

>triple AAA quality >dollar store Halloween mask

>>1752011 Has there been any good physical special editions in the past decade?

>>1752011 It's the canvas bag all over again

>>1752024 Not a single one

>>1744196 I remember seeing it on some game awards show. I don't recall which one. It didn't look like a Borderlands game and I was so disinterested in the series after the horrible but salvageable story of 3. Something the trailers for 4 failed to do that I think is kind of indicative of their failings is that they don't introduce the characters names during the trailer. Knowing who you are going to play as in the game kind of helps sell a game. Borderlands 1 did it best when the trailer not only introduced the characters, but gave a little who they are i.e. Brick as himself. 2 just introduced their names, but they did give the subtitles in the opening cut-scene, but IIRC they showed part of the opening cut-scene at a game awards show before the game came out. I swear to god they release part of the opening cut scene at some kind of event and it included the characters subtitles but I cannot for the life of me find evidence so that may be a false memory. With 3 they revealed it at the E3 2019 trailer with their subtitles. So that helps with getting a feel for who you are going to be playing as. With 4 >Cinematic Launch trailer No characters names are mentioned >Borderlands 4 Official Story trailer No character names are given >Official First Look Names not given >Official Teaser Trailer No characters even show This is a pretty major failing of marketing. Who am I supposed to play as?

>>1752011 For fuck's sake Randy, you probably paid top dollar for that USB stick of minors peeing, but when it comes to a mask, suddenly you're poor?

>>1752177 As bad as 3 was, I do like FL4K, even if just for his design.

>>1752177 >Who am I supposed to play as? You're supposed to get involved in hte marketing campaign and seek the individual character presentations as well as the youtuber shilling pre release gaming footage.

>>1752024 A few.
