Borderlands 3

[Perkel]

247k concurrent players would make it the #5 biggest singleplayer launch in PC history.

*on Steam

Normies dont give a flying fuck about internet controversy and drama
Of course its going to sell well...

Try most of gamers not just normies.

Yeah the game is actually the opposite since you can kill and enslave "NOGs"

Could be unintentional.
Remember that in the same game they renamed midgets to tinks because they didn't think Midget was politically correct, and enforced singular they for FL4k.

Isn't it in this game that there's a asexual non-binary robot - which is fine but the devs lost their shit over people not acknowledging its asexuality or some shit ?

Yes and no.
Yes, there's a robot and the devs got really butthurt that people kept calling it a he because it had a male voice, even going so far as to ban people for not referring to it as "they", even though if one were to play the proper pronoun game it should really be referred to as an "it".
No, its not asexual, because its a robot. Asexual robot is a redundancy in most cases.

 

[MajorMace]

Indeed, it's a "non-binary robot" which could have been a fine joke, their meltdown though

Yes but weirdly in game no one adresses anyone by pronouns because how thing was written. Basically every dialog needs to assume that player need to be all 4 characters so no quest or sidequest character at all uses any pronouns which was the same for pre-sequel in BL2 and BL1 character classes didn't even talk at all.

N*Gs????

No way, it's clearly because Randy finally got redpilled.

Borderlands 3 is just a bunch of poop jokes and rick and morty references

That is the point of BL and shooting guns.
Single player game for sure is boring but in party game is cool.

 

[TheHeroOfTime]

Well, if you can shoot rick and morty then the game is incline by default

Considering that Randy hasn't gloated about the game selling X million copies in 24 hours it's pretty safe to assume it didn't.

Did they fix the shitty A.I in BL2?

 

[sullynathan]

Be butthurt that normies want to play a popular game on the fortnite store

 

[Jezal_k23]

Fortnite has insanely massive player numbers, and as a consequence, Epic Store customers. People who said this wasn't gonna sell were in denial.

Pretty hard to believe anything coming out of Randy's mouth. Not buying on Epic, dislike it. Will probably get on Steam once it's out but it depends on the game's state by then. Not that I'm a diehard fan of Steam, I don't actually like Steam in the past. If it ever comes out DRM-free or on GOG, I'll definitely buy it there but I have better chances of actually seeing pigs fly.

 

[CyberModuled]

You guys seems to be forgetting three things.

A. Randy Pitchford is a compulsive liar and will say anything to avoid not getting owned.
B. Roughly 250K concurrent players (based on BL2's peak player numbers) is still less players than something like MH World on Steam launch which is embarrassing considering it being a Jap IP.
C. Not giving concrete sales numbers if he's that "proud" of it selling as well as it supposedly has is also suspicious.

Also wait for the long term. I remember Epic dick waving around that Exodus sold "2.5x" more than LL pre-orders did on Steam which was not only vague as fuck as well as not considering how much bigger PC Gaming on Steam has gotten since 2013 but then surprise surprise, two future THQ Nordic Annual Report actively went out of its way to ignore specifying EGS numbers along with mentioning that PC sales initially did well at the start of the year (meaning Steam pre-orders and not EGS sales most likely).

Add in the poor quality of what looks like a fairly rushed PC port along with the fact that the deal is only for 6 months than the usual 12 that almost all other EGS exclusives have and I'm really fucking doubtful to believe one guy saying it's doing well (especially when it's Randy's word).

People play Fortnite on console and mobile. Nobody has ever heard of the Epic store.

 

[Fedora Master]

The exact sales numbers hardly matter. What matters is whether or not Gearbox will have the cash to make a BL4. I sincerely hope they don't.

Well to answer that question ahead of time: it will though I can only assume it'll mostly come from console sales as they have not been dealing with the Steam/Epic shitstorm (along with more console only players in general not caring about most PR disasters/questionable developers and publishers).
