If I can give you some advice. Don’t worry about the time limit. It means nothing in the grand scheme of things. What you can do is, check which ending you want to get and make a hard save before it. Do your ending, reload and just take your time. The timer running out means almost nothing.

Even without doing that, there’s plenty of time in the game to do what you want.

Blood Of Dawnwalker was such an amazing experience. Platinum was super fun to get as well.

Hey guys - there has been a slight delay on the pricing for SA on the Deluxe edition of Final Fantasy VII Revelations - I will update you the moment we have it from the distributors

@Death - I'm sorry hear. It seems such a common awful disease for people and families to have to deal with. Like you say, supporting a cause like this - means so much to those afflicted by it.

Here's How To Get Free Borderlands 3 In-Game Loot via Twitch

by Keegan Govender on 30 April, 2019

Gearbox Software announced that Borderlands 3 gameplay would be unveiled on the 1st of May, 2019. In addition to the gameplay reveal, there will be "hundreds" of streamers playing Borderlands 3 across Twitch, with their channel enabling viewers the chance to earn some in-game loot before the game launches.

According to Gearbox Software, this is to show off the official Borderlands 3 ECHOcast Twitch extension as part of the gameplay reveal experience, and to get the chance to earn in-game loot, players will have to link their Twitch and SHiFt accounts while using the extension. This isn't a necessity, but those who do not link their accounts, will lose out on the ability to participate in Rare Chest Events (which is how you get loot for Borderlands 3). The official time will be 10:00 A.M Pacific Time.

How To Turn On Borderlands 3's ECHOcast Twitch Extension

In order to enable the ECHOcast Twitch extension, viewers will need to click on the small Vault symbol at the bottom of Twitch's video player. Once the ECHOcast toggle button appears on the left-hand side of the video player, viewers will have access to an expandable menu can start to explore the streamer's Borderlands 3 Vault Hunter Profile.

When a streamer opens a rare chest, typically after going through a horde of bad guys, viewers will have 30 seconds to opt into the event. The extension will then notify the viewer if they have won and will let them choose which of the items from the chest they would like to receive. To ensure that viewers don't abuse this system, loot will automatically scale to the player's level once received.

That being said, this is a very smart way to ensure that viewers stay tuned-in for the gameplay reveal coming later this week.
