[LewieP]

$150 list price got me like

 

[vrietje]

nvm

 

[Angie]

Great excuse to pick it for New Tales from the Boderlands

 

[Loudninja]

So is this a remaster ?

No. Just a bundle for consoles and a new port for switch

 

[Ganado]

nvm

Except Switch actually got BL1 and 2 unlike Mass Effect. I mean, its still 150(!) excluding the launch price for the complete box.

 

[Ridley327]

I'm honestly surprised they didn't save the announcement for 3 on Switch for a Direct, especially with how long we've known that it's been in the works.

Capping multi-player to 2 players will annoy some folks, but something was going to need to give with the hardware they're working with.

 

[Luneth]

YES!! BL3 on switch!! Linkedin doesn't lie!

Ah ok, crazy they trying act like you getting some deal at 150 lol. But this sounds like a sales tactic, since its 60 at launch.

 

[Era Uma Vez]

So, are there actually new SKUs for Borderlands 1/2/TPS for PS5, or is Gearbox just Gearboxing?

 

[LycanXIII]

All of those, except maybe New Tales, you can get for under $20, regularly...

"While it will normally be priced at $149.99, it will be available at a limited time launch discount price of $59.99."

That should be the normal price if they can do a launch discount that huge.

 

[New Donker]

Hell yeah! Definitely grabbing this on Switch

 

[kimbo99]

Any word on crossplay/cross save? I'd like to play on switch and Xbox if possible.

 

[Era Uma Vez]

Also, according to Borderlands twitter, it's actually coming out today, not tomorrow.

I wonder how the load times will be on switch. They were abysmal on last consoles

Oh whack I thought I was gonna be able to get native PS5 versions of all the games. I already own all these so this is nothing for me. $60/$30 is a good value for people who own none/one of them, though. Not sure about that $150, though...

New Tales is on sale right now...

 

[LazyLain]

Anyone think this'll be using Switch Denuvo? Gearbox/2K seem like the type to be keen to try it.

 

[JBoogieG]

So, wait, I just want to see if I understand how the collection upgrade works:

If you own any title that's in it, even if it's just one of them (at least on XBox), you can get the entire collection for 30 bucks?

That is actually pretty good depending on how many you already own.

 

[Zebesian-X]

Oh the $30 upgrade is actually quite nice, definitely worth it for me

 

[CutieYuri]

The Handsome Collection was previously part of a PS+ Essential giveaway some years back, I wonder if those who claimed it would be able allowed to claim the special price from that license? 🤔

It sounds like Steam will work as a "Complete your collection" style bundle, where you just pay for what you're missing, so may well end up being even less depending on what you already own.

 

[Serpens007]

Hold on, that's a port and not a cloud version on Switch? I'm surprised

Oh yeah, you're right, I thought it'd be the same as I skimmed over it.

Welp, you can sure make out like a bandit on XBox then!

 

[Starlatine]

only game i dont have is the new tales of borderlands
and i plan to keep it that way

but knowing gearbox it might be cheaper to get this bundle than just the second SP for BL3 that never goes into freaking sale

 

[Xyer]

Borderlands 2 was practically unplayable on Switch for me (one of the worst Switch purchases I ever made). I can't imagine how badly BL3 will run on it. Oof.

Curious, what issues did you have? I wanna say I put 40 some hours in and really enjoyed the port

 

[castaction]

Hopefully they fix the constant crash on xbox series of borderlands 3 , and i hope it run well on the switch

I think the 30 FPS was a major turn off for me after playing them before on PS4 with 60. It's hard to go back. Game pretty much became a drink coaster after that.

 

[Ricker]

Played them all,even Tiny Tina's Wonderland(which is great btb)...kinda confusing bundle options.

 

[RoadDogg]

The Pandora's box thing doesn't include all of the dlc right? I own zero of the games but can buy new tales for $10 on Xbox and get the rest for $30 but if they aren't the fully complete versions it still seems over priced. I'd never play them all anyway so it's a waste regardless but it just seems extra dickish to not include all of the dlc and season pass stuff.

Edit: guess it does include everything per the article. I should have read the whole thing first. $40 is kind of tempting now if I had someone to co-op it all with…

All dlc are included for all games, they confirmed via Twitter.

 

[Hitokiri03]

I only own The Handsome Collection so the 30 bucks upgrade seems like good deal to me.

But those games are such time sink and this is the last thing that I need right now.

This might be enough to make me jump in.

Was hoping for some improvements for BL1 tho. Can be minor, but just something.

I just saw it included Tales of BL....huh. I dont have any of these games. $30 for all this looking more like a good deal.

 

[Hero of Legend]

Who's behind BL3 on Switch? Turn Me Up? They're already ultra busy with the Arkham trilogy.

 

[Kandinsky]

So, Nintendo gets BL3 for $60 and MS and Sony get that plus Borderlands, Borderlands 2, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, Tales from the Borderlands, and New Tales from the Borderlands for the same price?, is that correct?.

 

[Richietto]

If they are launching it at $60, it's not worth $150. Go fuck yourself gearbox.

 

[Mattmo831]

Wait so if I get the handsome collection on Xbox right now for $10… I can get the rest for $30 as an upgrade?

 

[New Donker]

Ah fair enough. I hope you never played the Vita version of BL2 if the 30fps on the switch port bothered you :p

[MZZ]

The 30 dollar upgrade could've been worth it if it included Wonderlands.

Otherwise, I feel like I already bought all the Borderlands game at less than $30 in total on both PS and Steam lol

150 is absurd and probably a list price that will get discounted by a huge amount pretty soon to entice people.

 

[Doskoi Panda]

Done with this franchise after Wonderlands MP and cross-play stayed broken on EGS for so long (keep selling your games to Epic, you don't need my fuckin money lmao) but Borderlands 3 on Switch is an interesting prospect and I'd love to know what that looks like.

 

[Dekuman]

Switch has all the bundle contents except Borderlands 3, which it is getting soon. I suspect the bundle will also be rolled out on Switch eventually.

Click to shrink...

Yeah, pretty much. To be fair, Borderlands games get heavily discounted surprisingly quickly, so I would say that it's a matter of waiting a few months until the Pandora Collection also comes to Switch for the same price.

 

[Chemo]

I'd pick this up if there were a physical box set, probably.

yeah id bite if it had wonderlands since i dont have that one. but just for NTFTB (and i guess the first too since i dont have a new gen version but already beaten the game) and SP2 of BL3? yeah thats a no from me doc

 

[arsene_P5]

Yeah, pretty much. To be fair, Borderlands games get heavily discounted surprisingly quickly, so I would say that it's a matter of waiting a few months until the Pandora Collection also comes to Switch for the same price.

I thought the Pandora collection cost 150$ unless you own one of the games.

Edit: I missed the launch discount

Yeah that seems fair lol

Thanks.

 

[Fleet of Foot]

I like Borderlands 3 and I've played a LOT of Borderlands 3 across multiple platforms. I also love my Switch. But there's no way this is gonna run well and look good on Switch. They are going to make some major concessions.
