Yeah, I ordered it for 360.

 

[zenith16]

mayjor level sweet. can't wait.

 

[Soapy]

I'm Soapy86 on Xbox Live if you want to ice some Skags.

 

[echostation]

the new downloadable claptrap revolution is really not that great...

 

[zenith16]

you were supposed to wait for the level cap raise and Fix's like they showed on Giant bomb. That's why both Reviews on the run and GB(the later) after their quick look decided to hold of on their reviews. I'm guessing your not getting the most out of it cause you jumped in kinda early. But oh well.

To be fair, the level cap raise patch should have come out alongside this DLC. I know planning the two to come out simultaneously isn't really possible (Microsoft takes forever to approve patches), but the fact that we have to wait several weeks is kind dumb.

 

[echostation]

It's really stupid to make people wait... But anyhow I have played a few of the missions and so far they are uninspired and just frankly boring as ****... level cap or no level cap actually has absolutely nothing to do with it.... the missions themselves are frankly dumb and if a level patch was put with them, doesn't make those missions somehow inherently more creative, smart or even funny or unique. at least General Knoxx had some really cool missions, thus far, Robot Revolution is firmly rooted in the muds of lame... - very much more of the same only as if done by a 10 year old and far more boring

 

[Soapy]

"Oh yeah, great marketing campaign! "Mad Moxxi's Underboob." Hey, stay classy."

 

[echostation]

No damn level update patch yet? THey said October 12... what the **** is wrong with these people...

There was never a set date, they said by the time the GOTY came out, which just recently passed.

They are going through the entire game and re balancing and fixing bugs. I'd rather they spend time fixing a new issue they've found, instead of rushing the patch out the door asap.

Also, Microsoft has had a serious backup issue getting patches through their process lately, things have been taking much longer to get certified than they used to.

 

[zenith16]

As Geo said. it's due to micro soft. but it's onit's way.


Borderlands cap-raising title update due 'within a couple of weeks'


Enjoy and discussions in session.

 

[StrainedEyes]

The patch is out now! One mission into the DLC and I am halfway to level 62.

Edit: apparently it is not out for the 360 yet... glad I own this for the PS3.

 

[Soapy]

I just "killed" the Rakk Hive. Is it supposed to still be breathing even with that gaping hole in its side?

Of course it is.

 

[Soapy]

I really love this game by the way. Though like last time I find that the game severely drags once you get to New Haven. Though this time I'm just trying to keep my head down and power through instead of getting bored and quitting. :/

 

[Roughneck]

I still love it.....pretty much the only game I've played since I got it.

 

[El Bastardo]

Pardon the necrobump, but I'm finally playing this (despite having bought it last year on Steam), and I'm wondering what you guys think about recommended character levels for the DLCs.

 

[Soapy]

I'm pretty sure that the DLCs scale to your level but I would recommend playing General Knox and Claptrap after you finish the main game due to story stuff. Also, Mad Moxxi kind of sucks. It's basically six to ten hours of wave-based arena combat, but it does have a bank which comes in handy.

 

[El Bastardo]

From the cinematic lead-in to the island of zombies, it seemed to me like that was supposed to take place after the main game as well.

Published 17 hours ago. 22 comments.

Due out on April 3.

Publisher 2K Games and developer Gearbox Software have announced Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC. It will launch on April 3.

Here is an overview of the game, via Gearbox Software:

About

Discover the co-op shooter-looter that started it all, crammed with additional content and enhancements! Equip bazillions of guns as one of four trigger-happy mercenaries, each with unique RPG skills. Take on the lawless, desolate planet of Pandora in pursuit of a powerful alien technology: The Vault. With brand new weapons, substantial visual upgrades, quality of life improvements, all four add-on packs, and more, Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition is the brand new definitive version of the award-winning 2009 first-person shooter / role-playing game hybrid, available now for the first time on current generation consoles.

What’s New

• Quality of Life Improvements: Significant updates to the game’s supporting systems allow for a smoother overall experience. For example:
  • A Borderlands 2-style mini-map, which you can toggle on and off, has been added to complement the original compass.
  • Substantial improvements to the inventory system—such as allowing you to “lock” weapons or mark them as “ junk ”—simplify item management.
  • Items like ammo, money, and health now auto-pick up from the ground.
• Rewards Ready: With the addition of the SHiFT player rewards program, you can now use Golden Keys to unlock special in-game items and rewards. Returning SHiFT users who’ve played Borderlands 2 or The Pre-Sequel on PlayStation 4, Xbox One, or PC will receive 75 free Golden Keys, as well as two randomly selected all-new weapons, for their first newly-created Vault Hunter.
• Added Firepower: A new set of six named, custom-skinned Legendary weapons make the base game’s arsenal even deeper. Beat bosses or gather Golden Keys for a chance to collect ‘em all.
• Badder Boss Battles: In direct response to fan feedback, the campaign ’s final boss encounter has been adjusted to be more engaging, challenging, and rewarding.
• Cosmetic Customization: For the first time, you will be able to customize your Vault Hunter beyond simply selecting a color scheme. Each of the four available characters has five brand new cosmetic heads unlocked and equippable right from the start of the game.
• Now Available on Modern Consoles: Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition makes the original Borderlands readily available on Xbox One and PlayStation 4 for the first time, in addition to providing a newly enhanced and visually remastered version for PC players .
• Free to Existing Owners on PC: If you already own the original Borderlands on Steam, you’ll be able to upgrade to Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition absolutely free.

Key Features

• Bazillions of Guns: Rocket-launching shotguns, enemy-torching revolvers, SMGs that fire lightning rounds, and tons more procedurally generated firearms.
• RPG Progression: Slay your foes, gain experience points, and build out extensive skill trees unique to each of the four Vault Hunters.
• Co-op Frenzy: Tear through the opposition as a crew of up to four, with four-player split-screen available on consoles and online co-op available across all platforms.
• Rich Universe: Uncover the rewarding mysteries, memorable inhabitants, and deep lore of Pandora—and the Borderlands narrative universe.
• Intense Vehicular Combat: Get behind the wheel and engage in frenetic vehicle-to-vehicle combat.
• Radical Art Style: Traditional rendering techniques combined with hand-drawn textures give Borderlands its iconic style.

Included Content

• Borderlands [Base Game]: The original shooter-looter in all its visually remastered glory.
• The Zombie Island of Doctor Ned [DLC]: Enter the corporate-owned small town known as Jakobs Cove and put an end to the rumors of the walking “undead.” New are as, new missions, new enemies, oh my!
• Mad Moxxi’s Underdome Riot [DLC]: Celebrate the grand opening of Marcus Bank by taking on hundreds of foes in the only competitive arena around where you come back famous… or not at all.
• The Secret Armory of General Knoxx [DLC]: Want more of the Borderlands story and more loot than you could possibly figure out what to do with? Add new guns, missions, vehicles and more!
• Claptrap’s New Robot Revolution [DLC]: This destructive adventure invites you to battle a vicious new threat: a massive uprising of your former friends, the Claptraps.
