Borderlands 3 | Official Thread

I don't understand people who get upset about the different stores thing. Sure it's mildly irritating to have another store/app. But it's really not a big issue. You just download a new one, it's not like you're having to buy an entirely new console.

I understand. The Epic Store, in comparison, sucks. Let's say for example that you had some form of technical issue with your game. Where do you go for support? Probably reddit, maybe even Steam. Because Epic doesn't have any kind of technical support. When I click my 'Settings' button on one of my Epic Store games, I have 4 options: 'Verify, Auto-Update, Create Shortcut, and Uninstall.' I can't change language, set launch options, browse local files, add to a favourites list, backup files, enable cloud saving, opt into betas, choose my input settings and so on and so on. Is the game any good? Who knows? There are no reviews. Was the game good in the past but broken in a recent update? Who knows? No reviews or discussions. Huh, I see my Early Access game just downloaded something! What did they fix? No idea, Epic doesn't provide anywhere to show you patch notes.

People don't like having their arms twisted into using a service that is substantially inferior to what they're used to. So while some people go too far of course, I totally see where they're coming from generally.

None of this will stop me buying games I am interested in on the Epic Store, although Borderlands 3 is not gonna be on that list. I really did not get on with the first ones at all, I don't think I'm a looter shooter kinda guy
