2K Games and Gearbox have beenn slick and strategic with their creative price decreases of 3 different games released in 2009. 2012, and 2014 all with their own special DLC formulae. So Slick and creative that they make it look easy. This is what happens when u fuck up pricing and are not in touch with what ur customers think is valuable. http://ca.ign.com/videos/2015/06/24/destiny-why-the-fans-are-furious-igns-fireteam-chat? hub page (front page)&utm_content=4 Another key move Gearbox/2K-Games did was changing BL1 4+ years after it came out. They moved it from the defunct GameSpy platform over to Steam. Sometimes Gearbox does some pretty slimey stuff. When it comes to Borderlands... they treat the franchise like its their only son. | ||

interestingly, the price to unlock the 2nd tier of the Borderlands Humble Bundle has moved up from $4.60 to $6.25. so those that got in early got the best price...and its still lower than that $9 offer in the SteamSale for BL1 and BL2. and part of your payment can go towards the National Video Game Museum. http://www.vghmuseum.org/category/news/classic-game-news/ | ||

This is the 4th or 5th AAA developer to put up a Bundle (OMG so Slick and Creative), and something like the 50th Humble Bundle or something, and shockingly the average payments go up. I mean, it's a great bundle and all, and if anyone asked I'd tell them to get it. But the amount of gushing you're doing here is...really, really weird. | ||

They ain't landing a man on the moon here. Watching countless other companies stumble, fumble, and bumble their discount pricing on much simpler product lines even in the last few weeks makes 2K-Games look like geniuses by comparison though. | ||

i like the game alone or in a group and its fun to turn on "open world mode" right after a Steam Sale and run through the game with various #s of players dropping in and out as i go. | ||

here is the perspective on why BL1 is better than BL2. again, i prefer BL1 somewhat over BL2... and my view is amplified in this video. BL1 has explosive as a pure elemental type. BL2 does not. BL2 is still really good. i'm not like many in here who have the mentality of a 5 year old that when 1 game is better than the other game "totally fuckin' sucks nOOb crap moron garbage". just my perspective on BL1 being SOMEWHAT BETTER than BL2. | ||

What's fun is not the game in itself, but the mechanic it offers when you play it with friends. | ||
