How the FUCK is the normal person suppose to keep up with games as they become more and more insanely expensive?My paycheck isnt getting bigger, just the things I buy
>>724291365Normal people don't actually buy more than probably three or four games, the entire year.
I think I got BL1 GOTY for $3. Got BL2 for free.Not touching 3 or 4.
>he bought all 3>complaints on 4 for no reason and? You still gonna buy it anyway
ok so wait for a sale you dumb nigger
>>724291365There's barely a tiny handful of games worth buying at any given moment.
>>724291365Borderlands 4 is the worst game in the series. Yes, worse than 3. They didn't even try. Every aspect of the game is weak, and it all comes together into an irredeemable turd. I swear, the bad optimization was a misdirection. They unoptimized it on purpose so that nobody would discuss the terrible gameplay. And I wasted $70 on this shit. Point and laugh at me, I deserve it.
>>724291365>insanely expensive>Borderlands: The Handsome Collection>All time low: $3.00>Borderlands 3: Ultimate Edition>All time low: $14.39like all bl games, 4 isn't worth touching until all the dlc bullshit shit is done next year
>>724291365Just don't mindlessly consoom every single AAA game that comes out?
>>724291365The price of food has inflated more than games.>spend average of $10/day on food>skip eating 7 days>play old games to distract from hunger>buy new gameSome of you fat fucks could just skip 1 day of eating to buy 1 new game.I've been intentionally multiday fasting and using the money I'm saving to pay for school. Fasting unironically improves your ability to learn and remember shit(genetic evolution or some shit). I'm not even halfway through my degree and I'm already getting job offers that don't even care if I finish my degree.
>>724291365>normal person>paycheckYou don't have so much free time to begin with, that you couldn't afford some form of entertainment for it. It's the NEETs who have the issue you're describing. Welfare checks actually get smaller every year while inflation grows larger, and every day still has as many hours to fill with something.
>>724291365so like, are you being retarded on purpose by not waiting for the borderlands games to go on sale for under $10 with all the dlc like they usually do a year after release?does that take effort or does it come naturally to you?
>>724291365You pirate them, moron.>Redditland
>>724291953Borderlands 2 was the only good Borderlands.I spent full price on Borderlands 4 and felt like an idiot too, anon. Borderlands 3 was so bad I couldn’t even bring myself to finish it, and somehow Borderlands 4 managed to make it worse. (Note I finished borderlands 2 10+ times)The problem isn’t just that it’s Reddit humor, it’s Reddit in the worst way possible. Every joke feels like it was written by someone who spends too much time online and doesn’t understand why people liked the original tone in the first place. It’s not clever, it’s not funny, it’s just annoying.The game doesn’t respect your time at all. Sanctuary or whatever they’re calling the ship-hub thing now is a maze that serves no purpose other than wasting minutes of your life. Every time you want to do something simple, you have to run through hallways up and down floors, then sit through dialogue that never ends, and suffer through cutscenes you can’t skip. It’s redundant, bloated, and disrespectful to anyone who just wants to play a looter-shooterBorderlands 2 was tight, focused, and fun. It had personality without trying too hard. The writing hit the right balance between dumb and clever, and the gameplay loop was perfect. Borderlands 3 threw all that away for reddit humor, unlikable characters, pointless NPC convos, and forced “quirkiness.”Then Borderlands 4 came along and somehow doubled down on everything people hated. It’s like the developers learned nothing. The story is even more drawn out, the characters are unbearable, and the loot grind feels like it was designed to keep you playing out of guilt since you spent real money on it. It feels like a borderlands skin on a random reddit game made by people who hate you Borderlands 2 had soul. Borderlands 4 is a parody of a parody, a franchise chasing its own tail, forgetting the reason anyone cared in the first place was because we just liked the looter-shooter aspect and cool guns.
You only need 2. Presequel and 3 are a bonus, with 2 you have months, maybe years of entertaintment, multiple playthroughs, trying out classes, multiple difficulties, challenges, etc. A couple of months ago I played through 2 again and had a blast. Unironically play old games, ignore new games, 90% of the shit that comes out nowadays is a fucking mistake, super dissapointing. Last recent triple A game that was a 10/10 for me was hi fi rush. You need to stop trying to keep up with vydia, or new releases in looooong running franchises.
>>724291365the bottom 3 were all free on epic. just wait a few years to get 4
obviously its not for everyone but sucking dick pays reasonably well, 5-6 a night for a few weeks and you’ll be loaded
