I want them to tell me what's new in the game that wasn't in the previous ones. What's in this game that wasn't possible.
"Whereas previous games were mainly focused on single, sprawling locations on Pandora, Borderlands 3 will give players the opportunity to travel to new worlds beyond it. Gearbox is promising that each one will feature unique environments and enemies.

Another new feature introduced for the game is level sync, which makes co-op play a little more friendly by scaling the experience for each player, regardless if they are playing together online or locally in split-screen, or their level and mission progress. The tentpole feature for Borderlands 3 is vehicular combat, which is sure to inspire Mad Max-esque feelings in players, as they tear across savage lands engaging in combat with enemies."

So, where are the benefits to the customers? Didn't the small cut mean the game would be cheap?

Also, $44 here. But I'm in LatAm.
That said, Metro was better in that regard. $20.

Kinda can't believe they are going with $10 USD story DLC packs again. That model seems kinda dated to me in a post-Destiny, GaaS world.

If that price gets you the game + all dlc that aint too bad if you buy destiny at launch you are off way worse if ya have to buy all dlc and expansions.

I prefer this than having to pay like almost 200 for all content over time.

6 months, eh? I can wait then. Trailer was fun too.

I wonder if the Steam launch will have the same pricing when the game releases there. =/

In for the super deluxe edition. Pre-order already in for the collector's edition just in case too, but I need to see it before I fully commit to that.

Will there be a discounted price on the base edition like there was for Metro? Instead of $60 will it be $50?

I guess I'm finally buying a game on the Epic Games Store.

Crossplay confirmed? Also interesting to see "Variable Refresh Rate" - is this the first game to use FreeSync on XBox One X?

Wait, what? I didn't know EGS had region locked content.

Of course it will

That's a deal that people wouldn't be able to resist.
I sincerely doubt they would fuck with loot in Borderlands to the point this would be needed but yikes all the same.

Looks like a 2020 for me. Not buying anything at EGS until they start using local currencies.

Bungie does a ton of content drops for Destiny that aren't apart of the DLC/expansion cost. It's pretty expensive to get all the DLC for Destiny, I agree, but that game is constantly getting updated and new content drops that aren't attached to DLC (like events and random quests dropping into it). Jury is still out on how Borderlands 3 will evolve post-launch, but nothing is giving me the impression that it will have the same games as a service style update cycle that Destiny has. So if this has the same DLC structure as Borderlands 2, it's not really fair to compare the price of it vs Destiny IMO.

How long is the $99.99 "limited time" price going to be available? I'll preorder on PC as soon as I have the money, but I hope it isn't a "preorder this week!" deal or something.

When is the 4K pack for The Handsome Collection dropping?
Sometime today. Same for the remaster of the first game.

I'm so confused. Why didn't they just announce the release date during the reveal event?

Why the double trailers? I mean it's days after the reveal, not months or years...like FFVII remake or Last of Us 2 or Scalebound...

The environments seem way too similar to the previous games to me. There's nothing in this that screams this isn't Borderlands 2. Of course it's not the exact same environments (and them grapix are better) but the vibe I get from them are too similar, it doesn't feel new or fresh in any way. And there's still no armor and other gear to find? Very disappointing.

Smaller cut meant developers/publishers get more...that has been the entire point.
The reason why this is more expensive than Metro has nothing to do with EGS, even on steam for example Deepsilver games are cheaper than 2K games.

Do we have the solo price for the season pass, or are people just taking the price difference between the versions?

Because the "digital content", which is a lot of nothing, would be worth $20 and the pass another $20 then.

edit: also for fellow Latam people, in Brazil it's $31, $46 and $64 for the each edition.
