This is getting annoying: I have received a total of 10 emails in the last 24 hours from game stores, publicizing Borderlands 3, offering me coupons for Borderlands 3, trying to make me aware that IGN gave a great review to Borderlands 3, and so on.

I just opened my community section on Steam, and the first thing I see: Fanatical advertising... Borderlands 3. Yeah, they are advertising a game that is launching, exclusively, on a competing platform, on Steam users' community feed.

I hope the launch comes and goes soon, so this annoying assault to my inbox can stop. :face-with-stuck-out-tongue:

Just imagine how much bigger this launch would have been if it was also on Steam.

Still can't believe how fucking stupid 2k/Gearbox were to agree to this after how successful BL2 was on steam.

6 month exclusivity probably means they didn't even get the full potential moneyhat from Epic as well. They are gonna miss out on 100+ million in revenue over such a shitshow decision. And you know the game will underperform on Steam next year. Probably get review bombed too.

The thing with DS is that it will be impossible to discuss objectively for a few months because on the internet you either love or hate Kojima/Sony.

On my local forum and PS4 Facebook groups, people already bullying people who said that they have no idea what kind of game Death Stranding is or said that they are not interested in Death Stranding.

The combination between Sony exclusive and Kojima is scary.

It's more Randy rather than 2K/Gearbox I think.

Maybe it's fair to say that I didn't like any single character in Gears 1. Not single line that makes you think, or learn something about them, it's all just cliche after cliche. I could write half those lines in my sleep, in some sort of freak nightmare. Epic clearly couldn't write games back then.
Gears 4 might as well be from another universe, it's so different (in a good sense).

Just finished Gears 5 campaign. Apaprently the campaign progression tracking is bugged, so I didn't get the achievement for it and trying to load into an Escape mode match, made the game crash with the error saying it could't detect my GPU.

Uninstalled the game. Will wait a few weeks before trying again.

Otherwise, great campaign. Much better than 4. Still, 2 is my favorite.

I am severely disappointed by the dawning and increasing realisation that DS is just going to be Kojima's take on the survival genre 😥

Also Ico, RDR, and TLOU are all fundamentally just ok games that are overhyped to kingdom come for god knows what reason. Sue me 🤷‍♂️

RDR is not even that good a game. Sue me.
I mean, in the diversity department, this is super bad. Night and day with a GTA.

We don't know how much money Epic paid for this deal. Probably a lot, and probably more than the revenue of the lost sales because of this deal.

We will never know the full $$$ details..but I really doubt its as much money as most people believe it is. Otherwise these games wouldn't be timed exclusive.

I still don't get why 2k didn't force them into selling the game on both stores day 1. Darksiders 3 was able to do it a few weeks after release last year then all these other devs should have strong armed Epic as well.

I think 2k/Gearbox will regret this decision badly 3-4 years down the line. BL2 sold 11 million copies on Steam according to Gearbox. Subtract a couple million from free weekends and you are looking at like 9 million sales and 95% positive user review. BL3 won't even sniff half of 9 million on steam imo. And it probably won't even sniff 70% review rating.

News - New Steam Update changes recommendation algorithm

“[C]ustomers in the experiment group were more likely to click on the games shown in the recommendations section, at a rate almost 15% higher than the control group,” they said. “The increased personalization means there is an even greater variety of games being shown in this section, and...

It's an interesting idea, but unless the game does better at allowing for experimentation with the whole range of that compass, I'm not sure what the point is. I've always felt pretty constrained in Democracy games to either the center or slightly "left" of center, without a whole lot of viability to anything else. Maybe that's the point, I dunno.

More and more tired of others forums and internet in general, too much circus, too much gimmicky threads, too much anger. So very little sense.

Maybe we should try to put the emphasis on positive things, I think I should try anyways. Celebrating the good and not spotlighting the bad. When you keep drudging in shit, you get to stink too.

No reason in particular for this post, more an accumulation of sad little wastes of time. And I’m definitely not targeting anyone here. And I’m not advocating for any bad things. Just a little tired and looking for some good for a change. Not to throw too much laurels, but I think I’m in the right place on the internet to find it :cat-heart-blob:

I noticed it. I don't understand it, but I noticed it.

I'll still say what I think about his games, though. :giggle:

Sorry I was working on a Critical case at work so I couldnt reply properly lol

Kojima has his status earned IMO. But it is his fanbase who dont let him do what he wants.

Just think about what he could have done if he wasnt basically forced to do 3 MGS games.
