Borderlands 2: The Pre-Sequel! Game Review on Popzara

Larger than a DLC pack, but not quite its own game either; offers little innovation, but overflows with everything that made BL 2 so entertaining.

Stapleface3505d ago

Bought this yesterday and I've been having a blast with it. Had me up way later than I wanted to be last night but I couldn't put it down. Doesn't change too much from BL2, but that's a good thing IMO. The things that have been added are nice touches. I don't mind the low gravity areas, and I like the characters with their different abilities. Thank goodness for G2A. You can pretty much get the game and the season pass for the price of the game by itself at most retailers. This way, you actually get the whole game, for the normal price.

Lucreto3505d ago

Didn't realise it released on the PS4 and Xbox One. /jk

An easy mistake to make nowadays.

How does an article with an obvious wrong categories get approved, a click me title for sure

popzara3505d ago

Hey Guys

Yes, there was a typo in the listing...but you guys approved so fast it couldn't be fixed. Thanks for the support and sorry for the quickie typo. But hey, who wants to bet the game hits next-gen faster than Handsome Jack? :)

What Happens to Your Steam Account When You Die?

The Outerhaven writes: While Steam has come out recently, stating that Steam accounts can't be transferred, we need to think about it since we all will eventually kick the bucket. But if Valve is denying transferring accounts, what can be done? Plenty, actually.

It goes to my kids because I gave them the passwords.

To Steam: Missio has a song that conveys my feelings about you stealing my purchase after I die. It's called "Middle Fingers"

shinoff21833d ago

Pretty much. My son knows my info.

Abear213d ago

Yeah worrying about digital ownership when you’re on the other side of the grass seems a little strange, but also on brand for these millennial journalists to worry about.

qalpha2d ago

I'm sure Keith will be happy to hear he's a millennial journalist.

Goodguy013d ago

I suppose if I have kids, I'd just give em my account details by retirement age. If I die young then...idk lol.

CrimsonWing693d ago

Yea, I mean just give someone the password to your account. Is that difficult to do or something? Like, I’m legit asking because I don’t know.

anast3d ago (Edited 3d ago )

It's not difficult but It's against the policy. If they find out, they will lock the account permanently.

CrimsonWing693d ago

Ah ok, I had a feeling there was something like that. It seems kind of weird that you can’t just hand your account over to a family member or friend and let them take over the account.

all-time peak 3 minutes ago.

thorstein16d ago

Nice. It's really cool that PC players get to play this masterpiece.

PrinceOfAnger16d ago

It has surpassed spider man now
it's 71k+
game did this with way shorter time than spider man.

itsmebryan15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

@prince
I'm confused. Does that number mean total players at one time playing like a snapshot
or total sales? If it's the former that's not very accurate because I know I'm not the only person that buys games and plays them later and that number is not included.

RNTody16d ago

Great, I loved this game. Definitely think it's Sucker Punch's best work to date!

rippermcrip16d ago

Is this going to be the new thing thing? Articles about Steam reviews? Which of course was in response to the false article about the review bombings in the first place.

Christopher15d ago

Hey, just a heads up that the new owners did open news to Steam updates, but we try our best to not allow them to go on daily updates unless relevant to some other news. I understand this isn't everyone's cup and tea and sympathize, but the door has been open. If you feel it's 'too much' please do PM me or submit a ticket to the mod team. Thank you.

shinoff218315d ago

I came here to post this link in that specific article. 84 perce t is pretty good. How many bad reviews were there like 5

GamerzElite16d ago

This is good game and Ghost eliminate all fake outrage.

CrimsonWing6916d ago (Edited 16d ago )

I always get confused by this, but is 72k good sales numbers for a game? I keep seeing games fail at selling 2.5 million and that they need to be on multiple platforms but is an additional 72k adding much?

Fishy Fingers16d ago

Im not sure how its confusing :\

72k actively playing. Not 72k sold.

A good example is Helldivers 2, 6m sold, 450k (at its peak) active players.

But how many swords swung is what we're all really waiting for.

shinoff218315d ago

Lmao. How many swords swung. I was hoping for how many steps

wesnytsfs15d ago

And its how many years old from initial release.

Crows9016d ago

72k is concurrent
...that is not the sold figure.

Michiel198916d ago

for one they already had a huge launch on the playstation, they don't need to sell 5m to make the porting to pc profitable and as pointed out below that number you see is just the people playing it at this moment.

Plague-Doctor2715d ago (Edited 15d ago )

Also from the insomniac leak we know these PC ports are a quick turnaround and budgeted around $2-4 million. At 100k sales they break even including Steams cut. They may not sell millions but they are a great ROI

elazz15d ago (Edited 15d ago )

72k concurrent. That is a global number. People who bought the game are not playing at the same time because of timezones, working schedules, holidays, events... There is no good rule of thumb but you can extrapolate based on other games that also released sales data. Then it is clear that the PC release alone accounts for at least 500K copies sold on steam, maybe closer to 700-800K. Probably will sell over a million this extended weekend.

According to steamspy and other data gathering sites games like Days Gone, Spider Man, God Of War, Horizon Zero Dawn have sold 2 to 5 million copies on Steam. So I expect Ghost to reach similar numbers. Probably even surpass it.
