I'm not a fan of how you pick up items however, its not the "hold x," or anything, its just the sensitivity of it. It seems like it requires too much cursor accuracy for a console game
question,
they(reviews, previews, etc) keep going on about having a gazillion guns, but when they list examples they only say stuff like pistols that shoot flaming bullets and stuff like that, so is it really a bunch of different guns, or is just a bunch of differnet ammo types for each gun?
cause i can switch bullet types and scopes etc in crysis but i wouldn't consider it a different gun.

You know how in Diablo they have "swords" but each time a sword drops it is unique in one way or another? You know how they also have bows, clubs, axes, etc that do the same thing? It's kinda like that except replace "sword, axe, club, bow" with "pistol, shotgun, SMG, sniper rifle" etc. There are actually so many possible weapon combos that at one point someone on the dev team calculated that you would have to play the game 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year for the next five years before you could actually possibly see every possible weapon.
yeah, I was hoping for midnight too. man, they really don't want me to pre order any more games on steam, do they?
i'm the kind of idiot who doesn't want to bother with any game more than 15 minutes old, so this is killer to me.
3 o clock tomorrow can't come soon enough ;(
Its even worse when you know its already preloaded on your computer, and the only reason there delaying the release is to boost the console sales of the game
and the sad thing is that its working, 4 out of 5 of my friends have picked this up already for the consoles cause they didn't want to wait for the PC version argghhhh!
That sucks ae. I have 16 friends (most of which I advertised and persuaded) that purchased this game all for PC. I am going to have the time of my life over the next few months
so is it really a bunch of different guns, or is just a bunch of differnet ammo types for each gun?
Ammo is the same across the board for gun types. All SMG's use SMG ammo, all shotguns use shells etc... It is the gun itself that is elementally charged.
GameSpy? Really? fuck.. come on guys. Steam is there! why the hell can't we use those names instead of now needing to know another just to do multiplayer. I assume this means I can't just join from the friends list either.. beh.
I have a strong urge to go get the console one instead. I feel bad for waiting
The game is absolutely awesome. PC Mplayer is borked so far, but I am sure a fix will come soon.
SO ADDICTIVE! 13 levels today!
Same played with a friend, not sure ill be playing it again until i finish my unearthly challange didnt grab me although i must say the loot factor alone makes this game awesome.
Side note:
Is there anyway to skin the characters i want to make custom textures for all these guys :P
seems to be pretty awesome so far, visually quite a treat. that lil clap trap fucker is annoying though, if i hear "look im dancing" again im gonna scream. textures look ace.
Dev peoples: How much of the concept art is Keith Thompson's?
I honestly had no idea who that is, much less that he did any concept work for Borderlands. I didn't interface with outsourcing at all though, so my guess is that he was a contract artist(?).
Game is definitely a lot of fun, the visuals are definitely nice, in particular the pencil style hatch shading. I love the procedural weapons, there are tons and tons of variations.
Sweeeeeet. So I read that Keith Thompson designed a drop ship, and a lot of the weapons/environments/creatures of the alien civilization.
Fantastic designs all around, from both the in-house team, Keith Thompson and Syd Mead I'd definitely pick up the art book and maybe some toys...there's not near enough Borderlands to go around!
No you dont, i pre-loaded the game and it worked fine just need to restart steam thats all :P

I must of been able to get the correct version then.
Hopefully I don´t have to wait tomorrow, If i do, There will be blood. Got a game date and everything with three buddies and it just so happens we´re playing one class each. Gonna be grrrreat.
PS: I think you actually lost quite a bit of sales for not releasing it everywhere.
Awesome game guys. It has it's share of bugs don't get me wrong but i'm having so much fun i'm overlooking them. EVEN THE ONE WHERE IT DIDN"T GIVE ME PANDORA MILLIONAIRE!!! Come on really? I have over 2 million dollars!
yeah, I'm having a lot of fun with the game, but decided to stop playing until the pc version actually works (in terms of being able to invite someone and do Co Op, versus struggling for an hour and a half to hopefully maybe get a 'join' to work, since invites never do).
glad to see they patched up the console ones already, but from what I could tell they were working pretty decent from the start.
wtf yo.
at least torchlight is keeping me warm . I'm dying to play borderlands again but I don't want to do it solo.

I just want to be able to punish my buddies if they try jackin' any of my stuff.
Quoted for truth!
and also, i gotta say 'FUCK YA' for the Nick Cage quote the NPCs spit at ya:
"I'll take pleasure in gutin' in you................. boy."
Astro - do you know the reason why the PC version is coming a week later? from a consumers point of view it seems to be there only to frustrate us.
Also. *points to piracy thread*

Congrats to any Polycounters that worked on this game, it's looking real slick!

Great job on Borderlands by the way, I came close to buying a console today just to get my hands on it.
thanks all is great! this guy is awesome!
Ah, Aus, you never fail to amuse.

people in Australia waiting for the game on steam saying its 30 minutes left... then they have to wait another week before its being released...

That Untergang-Remix is quite full of win
played a small bit at the release party but didnt get what was going on. After getting the game I have been entertained! w00t to PLANO peeps!
