Borderlands

[Isildur´s Heir]

I like Gearbox, but I don't play with others. So I'll pass.

I don´t usually play with others too, but on Giantbomb´s review, it says:

Though it's probably better when you're playing online with friends, playing alone is still perfectly fine.

The key words being: PROBABLY better, PERFECTLY fine

[Why Are You Crouching Spock?]

I'm not so sure about this anymore, I think I'll hold off for a demo, assuming there is one.

 

[StrainedEyes]

If I had extra money I would get it. It looks well made and unique.

I'll go pc now. and most of my buddys are on steam plus other things for that . so I'm good to go with this so the due dates the 27th thatI Ign states but it obvous it out so. ok I'll be getting this 4 sho now.

[Colossal Spoons]

Pickin this up tomorrow!

 

[zenith16]

ummm yeah make sure it's for the Xbox 360 your getting it for then. the ps3 version is having issues with it. Their working on fix's but i thought I should warn you anyway. since most that have that system aren't happy they can't enjoy what others are getting right now.

I'm still getting this for steam. I know it'll really kick ass there too.

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Good thing you said that, I was gonna get it for the PS3

 

[WarBlade]

A number of game related websites are running stories about a co-op bug preventing PS3 players from connecting to their friends' games. Updates to those stories indicate that the connection problem is being addressed and has been fixed.

 

[zenith16]

yeah I know thats why i said their doing fix's. but due to this bug issue it got a lower score for the ps3. But apparently that's not the only thing going wrong for the ps3. As a japan mag has mentioned with Bayonetta.

the 360 versions way better grapically according to them.

I guess alot of devs are still having issues with the ps3 porting. For some reason.

There's always something now these days.

 

[Captain Obvious]

The PS3 issues were fixed last night. My friend and I delved into our first co-op game. Absolute blast.

I found out hunters suck indoors though. Protip: carry a fully loaded revolver AND pistol with you.

Also, we tried a tough-ranked mission. Protip: stick to normals if you can. This game is NOT a cakewalk with more than one person. Quite the opposite. It's even harder.

Yeah, but what does Bayonetta have to do with Borderlands? I've not heard that the PS3 version of Borderlands is suffering from the same problem, and that both versions are more or less on par technically. The only thing that was wrong with the PS3 version was the co-op bug, which has officially been fixed

 

[zenith16]

oh Bayonetta has nothing to do with this per say I'm just finding it weird that where ever there's a slightest bug or graphics issue some Dev's complain about the system or the people that rank the same game for both platforms give the highest scores to the 360's over stuff like that.

Things like that can cause sales to drop for a system. that's all I meant. and i did say they are fixing it. I'm sure i did. I only said that " make sure it's the 360" part in case it wasn't in time if he got the game. other wise he should wait and isn't disappointed.

I noticed those same people that said they had issues took the game back. some ofthem any way. I'm guessing their fickle . Just a bit.

Who wants to do the Item Duplication Glitch with Me?

 

[Colossal Spoons]

Rare candies!

 

[Roughneck]

I bought it tuesday, at first I didn't care too much for it....but now I frikking love it.

And for $40 (CAN) it was soooooo worth it.



By the by, anyone have that "play with an employee of Gear box" Achievement yet?

Who wants to get banned with you? Well now, let's see...

No.

*Waits for the release on Steam*

 

[Colossal Spoons]

How/why would you get banned?

 

[King K]

Played 3 hours straight last night online co-op (PS3) and freaking love this game now. It was really boring at first playing alone and the reviews were right about this game leaning heavily on co-op which is a good thing. I'm playing as Lilith and am at level 11.
I rented this game because I've never played WoW or Diablo and am new to the Shoot-n-Loot and will buy it.

I don't get it

Anyway I got it....someone joined me at random and had it I guess.


Also...this game...still the frikkin best. One thing it happening that's odd with the Achievments.....I got one for having a weapon reach level 10 proficiency and my highest is at seven, and I've killed over 100 enemies with explosives but I didn't get the achievement for killing 25 that way.

Oh well, I hope that doesn't stand it my way of a perfect 1000 gamer score, but either way the game is still frikking great.

 

[WarBlade]

I don't get it

I'm still waiting for Borderlands to release. Steam has now pushed back the advertised date to the 30th.

One thing it happening that's odd with the Achievments.....I got one for having a weapon reach level 10 proficiency and my highest is at seven, and I've killed over 100 enemies with explosives but I didn't get the achievement for killing 25 that way.

Those achievements can be tricky. Kills have to be from the damage type as opposed to that particular damage type weapon. eg. 1.21 Gigawatts can only be achieved from the shock portion of a shock weapon's damage - Kills from the bullet damage portion won't count.
