Is anyone else holding off on Borderlands 3 until Steam gets it?

["D."]

For a second I thought about biting the bullet and getting it at launch from the Epic Games Store, but before I did that I seem some videos on YouTube that basically said the storefront is still for the most part lacking in basic features, not to mention preloading. Mess is crazy how this company has money to snatch up games, but doesn't seem to have the money, time, or whatever excuse to properly fix up their storefront...so cause of that I think it'll be safer for me to wait until it drops on Steam where I can at least have access to user reviews, a community and everything else.

Is anyone else taking the long wait as well? Or are you just gonna buy it on console? Thoughts?

I've been waiting for too long for Borderlands 3 to not buy it day one.

 

[Hamster Plugin]

I'm waiting for the first discount on Steam, unless key stores like Humble Store get updated to Steam keys - in that case I'll use my Humble Monthly discount.

depends on my friends. I persoanlly dont think BL3 looks THAT amazing (it looks like a decent sequel, but im not craving to play it immediately) so if it was just up to me, I'd wait. But, BL games are far more enjoyable with friends, so if they decide to say fuck it and buy it, I'll too.

 

[Deleted member 42]

I'm gonna get it on whatever platform my friends do unless it's crossplay

 

[GrrImAFridge]

I might "pre-order" it if there's a GPU bundle and I can get a key on the cheap (as I did with Control), but otherwise yes.

 

[Barnak]

Don't really care how much Steam is better than EGS, as long as the game works, I intend to buy it on day 1 in one month.

 

[Epinephrine]

I'm holding off until I can get it for $20 or less. I don't particularly care if that's on EGS, Steam or my PS4 Pro.

Its only me and one of my other friends interested in playing and he's been vocal about getting it on PS4 unfortunately...so if I got it on PC then I'd probably be playing by myself. Which is pretty much the other reason why I was thinking about just waiting

 

[Deleted member 8196]

I'm holding until the GOTY edition is out

 

[Dringus]

im not going to let some silly platform stop me from getting a game i've been anticipating for years

 

[ramoisdead]

You know, I would say I'll wait the 6 months until it shows up on Steam...but the way Randy has been acting like more of an assclown as of late.

I'm holding off of BL3 entirely.

 

[bcterps]

I had the ultimate edition pre-ordered but decided to cancel it after continuous bad behavior coming out of Gearbox. I want to play the game, but there's plenty of competition for my gaming dollars these days, maybe I'll get it when it's cheaper

 

[Becks']

I am. I plan to only buy a one copy and because I have every other game in the franchise on Steam, I'll buy it on Steam.

If I had more cash in spare, I would buy it on EGS as well.

 

[SmittyWerbenManJensen]

Waiting for it to hit Game Pass, because idk if I will enjoy it.

 

[ShinUltramanJ]

Of course. But I'm not dropping $60 on it either, because by the time the Steam release hits, the console versions will be on sale regularly for $30 or less (EGS will still be $60).

This being Borderlands there will be a bunch of DLC, so I'll wait for the complete edition to go on sale for at least half price.

 

[Deleted member 49438]

I'm going to wait for a sale. If it goes on deep enough discount on EGS, I'll consider getting it. I figure worst case it goes on sale when it is accessible on Steam & I buy then. I like borderlands, but I'm not sure if I have a group of friends that's interested in playing day one, so I don't mind waiting until it's a bit cheaper.

 

[Ganado]

Yes. I think I'm the one of my friends that wants to play it the most but I don't want to buy it at the EGS.

 

[Danim]

I definitely am, there's enough to play in the back half of this year that its not going to be much of a problem waiting for another 6 months.

 

[RockmanBN]

Nah. BL3 is BL3.

 

[CloseTalker]

Nah, I'm getting it on PS4.

 

[lucebuce]

Yeah. I already have Destiny 2 to keep me interested with loot chase till that happens.

 

[pezzie]

I'm waiting, I won't buy anything on EGS. But I may just wait for the inevitable GOTY edition.

 

[DjDeathCool]

I'm holding off on Borderlands 3 period... Because Randy Pitchford is attatched.

 

[Ada]

Console for story then sell the game and wait for steam.

 

[Corine]

Of course, but I was gonna wait for the complete edition on sale anyways. Anything with as much DLC as the Borderland games gets bought for a huge discount or never.

 

[OnionPowder]

If my boys get it then i'll get it.

Console for story then sell the game and wait for steam.

Playing BL3 at 30FPS and with a controller sounds like a nightmare tbh.

 

[Igniz12]

The Steam delay does me good because I wanna wait and see with BL3 anyway. I will mostly play solo and going back to the handsome collection recently, I forgot how much of a chore that game can be sometimes when you're playing on your own. That and various other issues I have with the series that I hope to see if they fix or change.

 

[CrazyAndy]

Day 1 on PS4.

 

[alr1ght]

I'll get it in 3 years for $10 (on steam ofc)

 

["D."]

I definitely am, there's enough to play in the back half of this year that its not going to be much of a problem waiting for another 6 months.

Same, aside from this game...Link's Awakening, Death Stranding plus a nice backlog will keep me busy for a while. Its a shame though cause if it DOES drop in March then it still might get placed on the backburner cause FFVII Remake is dropping and I ain't playing shit else BUT that game.

 

[Razgriz417]

Nope, gonna get it on ps4, might double dip on PC when the eventual GOTY edition comes out (unless they get cross play and save working early)

 

[Philtastic]

I'm mostly waiting on it because I'm far more excited about Ghost Recon: Breakpoint and its co-op in October, so I'm saving my new release money for that.

 

[.exe]

I'm holding off until Randy stops being skeezy.

 

[daninthemix]

Depends if Epic do another one of their crazy sales before then.

 

[Komo]

Maybe, but honestly it'll have better performance and most likely a dlc out on steam. Since those day one patches and hotfixes would have been on that version.

 

[rare]

Holding off till Randy is fired or leaves gearbox.
Not giving that man a cent no matter how good it is.

 

[admataY]

Hell no , the one month of waiting left is hard enough already

 

[fluffydelusions]

Depends on how it reviews tbh.

 

[Kazer]

Yeah, but I'll get it on sale in a few years.

 

[prudis]

all the warning sighns are there eggsclusivity for 6 months, DLC talk before game is out, doubling down on the overly cringey humour , denuvo , DLC madness of BL2 , looks a bit too same-y after so many year.... and i havent even finished PreSequel .... so i am fine for few years before getting it

 

[Alandring]

It's the first game I have pre-ordered since Borderlands 2, so no. And honestly, even if it was available on Steam, I would have bought it on Epic Games Store.

 

[Anno]

That's what I'm doing for all these games.

 

[Lothars]

I might get it on Xbox one to play with friends but if I get it on pc, it won't be till it comes out on steam.

 

[Cecil]

Well, yeah.
Of course I do.

It's not a must have title for, but rather a maybe title, depending on the reviews. So why should I not hold off a purchase, until I can get it where I prefer to buy my games?

That's a thing of adding extra hoops for customers, it's easy to postpone a purchase in favor of spending money on things that tempt you more.

 

[spineduke]

I'm holding off on Borderlands 3 period... Because Randy Pitchford is attached.

+1

 

[wideface]

Either PS4 or waiting for the Steam release.

 

[Zlug]

One of my friends will get it day one.
The others want to wait the Steam release.

I think I will get it day one to play it with the first one and double dip on Steam

 

[Sandersson]

Me me me, though it depends if I have a ton of backlog so I might just end up skipping it like I will probably do with Metro Exodus.

 

[Torpedo Vegas]

Nope. Day one, Borderlands is one of my favorite series. Day one on the One X and then I'll buy it on PC around tax return time since that is when I usually upgrade my PC.
