It doesn’t look like Borderlands 4 will make the jump in price up to $80. A visit to the Xbox Store shows that the base version of Borderlands 4 will cost $69.99.

There are other editions of the game that are more pricey, including a $99.99 Deluxe Edition and $129.99 Super Deluxe Edition.

    I'll never buy a borderlands game, quite boring, stale humor. Gun play gets old really fast.

    It's curious because I own all the borderlands games, legally, and I never paid for any of them. For some reason they keep giving them away some 18-24 months after release. I only played the first one and it was a little meh.

    I'm a borderlands fan, and I will say that the first one is a little meh. The second one is where it's all, although it may feel a little date now. The presequal and 3 are fun but they fell a little lacking

    Point I'm trying to make, if 1 felt fun but a little meh, I would recommend playing 2.

    It don't matter what the release price is. Everything goes on sale eventually.

    I've never paid more than $20 for a game.

    And I wouldn't play Borderlands 4 for free, TBH. If they pay me my hourly rate, I may consider it depending on contract length. Other than that, fuck off, Gearbox.

    I have, but only fighting games because that first month of online play is heaven when there is no meta established and no one has muscle memory yet.

    But yea, fuck Gearbox, I uninstalled every Borderlands Game after the new changes to EULA. Fuck them having kernal access.

    I’ve decided amongst this push to $80 games that even $70 is too rich for me. With very few exceptions, the only launch games I will allow myself to buy will be the $40-50 ones. Otherwise I will just wait until the $70+ ones that interest me to get there on their own. If i lose the urge to play them in the meantime, oh well. Money saved.

    There are just sooooo many great games out there at much better prices.

    I've had a similar response.I was kinda ready to accept the new price but then they started pushing an even higher price so I got an opposite reaction where stars would have to align for me to care about any game over 60 and even 60 is pushing my willingness to pay.

    Still too much given BL3 and pre-sequel.

    I'd consider it at $40. See you on Black Friday!

    To be fair, The Pre-Sequel was made by different studio entirely, but I agree that the Borderlands 3 story was utter crap. It was so bad that I couldn't bear to keep playing, despite how I felt about the gameplay (which I honestly don't remember at this point).

    I'm playing through BL3 right now, and the game feel is fantastic. The story isn't great, but after 5 hours, it still hasn't hit a point where it's so off-putting that I'd consider putting the game down. Pre-Sequel's story did really bother me, but even then, the level design and bosses still made it worth seeing.

    Conspiracy Theory: All that hubbub about an $80 base price was just to deflect from the fact that most sales are likely going to be funneled to the $100/130 editions..

    Guess I'm not a REAL Borderlands fan, since I'm still not going to "make it happen" at this price, and even if I do eventually buy it (and that's an if - I'll carefully read multiple reviews and watch a couple of streams before I decide) it's going to be for max half that. Tough shit, eh Randy?

    Is 70 the new normal then? Was all that theater just to make the <80 price tag seem better?

    Gearbox needs to REVERT their FUCKING TOS back or I won't play it at $0.00
