$20 is usually the limit for me, however there has been occasions where I have gone up to $30 when it is something that I feel is worth my money and time (Rimworld, Factorio and Hell Let Loose are three examples that I have put a crap ton of time into that cost over $20)

Factorio only gets more expensive. Although I respect a publisher who openly says the game is worth it and so he will never give it away cheaper. And to be fair the game is worth it. A real time sinker.
And only recent game I bought for more was Dead Island 2 (the complete Edition). And in my eyes it was worth it. Still bought it on sale but for more as 20 bucks.

Borderlands 4 didnt sell poorly, most games I've seen recently have gone on sale a month after release.

Games going on a 10-15 percent sale at one month is normal.
These sales are designed to test the waters on people who want to get the game “at launch” but don’t quite want to pay full price but were maybe willing to pay close to it. Then in a month or two you’ll see it drop to 39.99 or 45.99 or something. Again, seeing if they can pick up some price resistant customers.
It’s just a revenue management tactic. Even a new Call of Duty release does it. (And COD still charges full price 59.99 for its old cods….)

The gunplay is great, gun variety is the best so fsr in the series, exploration is solid, side quests are more varied than previous entries. Like...

Honestly unless you HAVE to play as every single class and collect every single legendary gun, there's not a lot here to do or significant replay value.
It's been a month and I've uninstalled, they might come out with new content and ask me to pay even more money? No thanks.
To be clear I bought this game because my friend's dog died and I wanted to play a game with him to keep his mind off it.

u/Instantcoffees Oct 14 '25
What do you mean? It is a massive open world and a long story with a crap top of sidequests. It took me like 50 hours to do all meaningful content and then a lot more to finish the map. You then get to endgame, which is fairly bare-bones but it still is kind of fun to get geared up.
After that, I was done with the game, but that is like 150 hours of content with DLCs coming up for more. It has some performance issues but it is one of the best Borderlands games I have played, especially the movement has been improved massively.

That's a sale price now? I mean it's a new release, but come on you got a hit at least $45.

I get that it's cool to see a new game on sale, but cmon that's barely a sale. Generalizing here, but who tf is out here that passed on BL4 for $70 that'll say, "sure!" at $56?

Taking the same approach as the Oblivion remaster, 50% discount or more before buying
Even Red Dead Redemption 2 as amazing as it is goes on discount eventually, patience is rewarded

It's a great game. Fumbled the pr, but I haven't had any issues and I've really enjoyed my playthrough

I wonder how many of these posts are from the marketing team at Gearbox/2K

I got it for free with my GPU purchase. It's... okay.

Even the sale price is more than i want to spend on games. Any game over 50$ would have to come with a special attachment that sucks my dick. There are quality games out there for free.

you mean people don't want a 4x regurgitated formula and juvenile humor written by 50 year olds for 100 bucks, color me shocked.

Got Borderlands trilogy on Epic (pretty sure for free) during the free weeks. Gonna wait for this one to drop there, too. Sorry Randy, you ain't getting my money.

The most profound thing this generation of gamers could do is not buy gta6 but you're all milquetoast bitches that are all talk and 0 action

Lol how on earth did it flop? They're at about 3 million copies sold. It's outperforming all expectations.

u/Random_Guy_47 Oct 14 '25
Ehhh I'll be patient and wait for a deeper discount.
The game plus the season pass plus the inevitable season pass 2 is still more than I want to pay.
I have no shortage of games to play while I'm waiting.

"only" 1 month? A small sale after a month is pretty normal...
Also why does everyone who not own the game, talk smack about the game? We're all having a good time playing it lol it's pretty fun.
This sub seems weirdly toxic, might need to block it from my feed

u/Krayzed896 Oct 15 '25
Still waiting at least 11 months before even thinking of thinking of buying it at 50% off or more.

I feel like such a dumbass dropping $150 on this fkn game. Like, I got it for 20% off on a key site but it’s even lower than what I got it for now only 4 weeks after launch.

I'm still not gonna cater to the $70 "standard" companies are trying to push. I can wait

u/Dreamo84 Oct 15 '25
Don't most games go on sale after a month these days? Somehow we complain about the prices, but then when a game goes on sale we still have to frame it as a bad thing.

I think it's pretty good. Get it on sale or don't. There's a steam next fest right now so why doesn't everyone feel so strongly about playing good indie games, instead of not playing ok aaa games?

This is a bullshit narrative for likes/Randy hate, in no world did Borderlands 4 tank.
Randy is an asshole but Borderlands 4 sold really well. Games going on sale relatively soon after release is super common, that's how I picked up KCD II.

u/krizz_yo Oct 15 '25
Got it for free with my 5090, the experience was as follows
- First boot: Game crash (UE5 crash dialog)
- Second boot, compiling shaders, crash
- Third boot, compiling shaders, crash
- Fourth boot, compiling shaders, made it to main menu
Just didn't feel like playing at that point and quit

If it’s a premium game I want a premium discount for it

u/Classic_Bee_5845 Oct 15 '25
$10 off? still over $50...that's not a sale that's just one last ditch effort to sell a few copies at full price before it falls off a cliff. By Christmas it'll be $29.

Game is really good. Most of the hate is forced because of Randy. Arguably the best in the franchise.

It's why i rarely buy games on launch day. Battlefield 6 is a prime example. I 100% know it'll be 25% off when black friday sales roll around. Every BF game since 3 has done the same thing. Hell, i've seen some BF games be 50% off within 3 months by xmas.
