Borderlands 3 - (PC)

Oh well, hopefully it'll be fixed by the time I pick it up on Steam, this time next year.

A couple of the reviews mention that there will be a fairly substantial day one patch. I hope that will fix most of the really obvious issues like broken quests and CTD's. I guess we'll have to see though. I'll probably try it at launch (or close to depending on when I get my key) and see if it has a lot of issues. If it is buggy at launch then I don't mind waiting a couple of weeks to a month for them to get the most egregious ones fixed.

That 63/100 from PCGamer was a bit of a yikes though! I don't generally put a lot of stock in the review system as a whole but I find it useful to see what they say about stuff rather than if they liked it or not. 63/100 seems harsh if it was just that the humour fell flat and that they didn't feel like BL3 have properly iterated on the "Looter Shooter" as a whole. For a triple A game to get a 63%; that's pretty much where Fallout 76 was at launch. I really hope BL3 is better than that!! Not saying that FO76 is rubbish, just that the initial launch was a pretty big dumpster fire!

Nice - just got my key so have started the preload now.

Seems to be 55GB for the download.

Where did you order from?

From what I've read GreenManGaming are sending keys out. I pre-ordered from CD Keys and nothing yet on my account.

DrHarvey12

Yes, it was through GMG.

Not a big fan of the Epic Games Launcher so far. No way of telling exactly what my key unlocked. It seems to have just done the base version of BL3 and not the Super Deluxe Version although, like I say, it's impossible to tell 100% for sure atm. Although I guess maybe GMG didn't send me the correct key. All quite a bit of a faff; I guess I will have to hope that once the game launches I find out if I got the Deluxe stuff. I really wish it was more like Steam in that you could confirm exactly what was unlocked. Just annoying thinking that it looks like something may not be right but completely unable to confirm.

Edit: Sorry, to clarify a few people who pre-ordered the deluxe / super-deluxe version say they have the ability to install the Deluxe DLC separately. AFAIK I don't have this option anywhere and the Epic Games store site just says that the Deluxe and Super Deluxe versions are unavailable; whatever that means!

Probably making a mountain out of a molehill.....hopefully it will all be ok; just wish it had confirmed what the key unlocked!

DrHarvey12

Ok, well GMG have gone up in my estimation.

I opened a support ticket with them and within 3 minutes had a response confirming exactly how you can check to see what version has been redeemed. Anyway, they agreed that it is annoying that Epic seem to show that everybody has the base game no matter what was bought and it certainly sounds like they have been getting this query a lot!!

Actually there was an article in their knowledge base about this which I blithely assumed was going to be totally useless but in the end would have answered my query.

Anyway, all's good atm. Just have to hope the game delivers now. And by that I mean deliver closer to the IGN 9/10 than the PCG 63/100

Come on CDKeys, where's my flippin' key?

I messaged them yesterday and they replied this morning saying "The code will be delivered as soon as possible. We can not confirm the exact time but we will send you an email notification once the product key is sent."

They advertised the handsome collection cheap on their twitter feed and the replies to it are  full of angry punters wanting their BL3 keys!

They're here now.  No email today but the download link in the purchase email now goes to your keys.
Mine's queued now, waiting for Fortnite (which I never play) to update first. :/
