Would be nice if more developers had a sense of humor with some of the promotional videos like Gearbox.

A suck it down reference?  Pretty bold to invoke the ghost of Daikatana at this juncture.

You have to pre-order the game to get access to the demo?  FFS, games industry.

So... they're offering a demo of the game to people who will have already decided to buy it? And I know you can cancel a pre-order, but still.

You also get access to the demo if you bought the Game of the Year edition of Borderlands last year. I have a copy on Steam and wound up with a demo access code for future redemption a while back.

Why would you want to play a demo of a game you've already pre-ordered? That's just silly.

I still find the idea of only giving a demo to people who have pre-order a game, to be stupid.

If this game came with a free copy of Borderlands maybe people would buy it...  Sorry Randy, the king is dead.

I know Giant Bomb has mad love for Randy Pitchford and Gearbox et al, but this First Access Club stuff is pretty gross marketing.

They're desperate to lock in these pre-orders, moreso as every day between now and the release date goes by.
Because the game is going to be critically pannnnnnned at release, and even the demo is probably gonna catch a lotta flak.

So you don't want them to advertise the game at all then? Just drop it on store shelves with no warning, that would be a great way to sell copies.

As opposed to what we have now: sleezy attempts to lock in pre-orders for a game in a franchise that has been dead for at least a decade now.

I still refuse to believe this game exists until there are retail copies IN STORES available for purchase.

Well... I bought it on steam so I guess I am not getting the demo?

Thats kind of dumb ... but the idea of having a demo for people who already bought it is dumb also. 

Ugh... video game as a business is annoying -.-

I think by first access, they mean people who pre-order get the demo first, then once it's out, everyone else gets it. Right? Surely...

Maybe if that d-bag at 0:39 spent less time on his hair the game would have never had that initial delay.

To be fair, "suck it down" was a Duke thing first. One of the enemies said it in Duke 3D.

Just torrent it for a 'demo' if you're so inclined. That's right, I said it. Please torrent this game if you'd like to try it out and buy it if you like it. Gearbox said it as much with their marketing.

I like the style in which they produce these trailers, but the gross "Pre-order our fucking game!" marketing is kind of distasteful.

Yeah, buying a game to find out if you'd like to buy it seems really, really stupid to me. I'd rather wait until the game comes out, then I can read reviews and play the demo.

There wasn't a demo though.
