Borderlands

Honestly thats probably a good death penalty as long as finding new crazy guns is easy and given how they are talking about their weapon system sounds like that won't be a problem. Hehe make you really grieve for your sniper rifle of fear and flame when you die using it though.

[Paelos]

That and the new KOTOR trailer may be the best ones I've ever seen.

I froth the froth of ages, posts from twitter:

Theres a big racetrack in the game. It's populated with all kinds of hilarious baddies... at your own risk type thing. There's stuff that comes out of the ground and explodes on you. Stuff that flies... it's a whole bit.

I dunno... that's impossible to say. I'd say its probably less than 1 in 200, yeah" - Chance of finding an artifact

"Well, Gamescom is going on right now, and we had some hands on with key press during Quakecon. I'd guess very soon." - When we'll see more info.

Yes, the vehicles are very fast.

Sword. Pipe. Fist. Blades on guns. John Stamos"

Most healing of teamates isn't with a kit... its bullets or turret radius or healing grenades...

Friendly fire isn't really a borderlands thing. Your weapons only damage your mates when you bitch slap them into a duel.

Our music is badass. Both composed and licenesed"

There are rifles in the game that fire with a three round burst, yes

The game will not end when you complete it (Like Fallout 3) Also there is a New Game + with harder difficulty

I am a Mordecai FIEND. I love maxing my bird out with crazy artifacts. It can explode six people in one throw at this point

There are certainly some gun types we've never talked about publicly. They are not easily classified.

I have like 20 different saves on my system right now. I like to experiment. (Will this lead to item, character duping? Possibly only for dev kit? Would all characters on a system be on a single save file?)

Single fire, auto fire, burst fire, exploding fire, clip capacity from 10 to stupid high numbers, rails, sites, scopes, LOTS

Equipment slots of upgradeable: From how many things you can carry to how many things you can carry in your hands.

You may kick people from your game!

Off the wall guns? Got my first shotgun that shot rockets last night. I didn't realize it would shoot buckshot at the same time (Oh my god that opens up whole new gun possibilities)

There's a lot of stun attacks and things. Enemies tend to flee if they're, I dunno, on fire

Well, it's not as complex. Getting punched in the face repeatedly has a way of causing a lot of aggro (Aggro system, Brick acting as a tank)

Pandora is bigger than Manhattan (Not sure if he's being serious or not)

Healing grenades.

[Demonix]

Oh i'm giggling just thinking about all the mayhem and destruction.

[Malakili]

I'm really looking forward to this one, and those quotes have only amplified that feeling.  I hadn't even heard of this game until june, but I have to admit it looks like they are doing a hell of a job.

[Lantyssa]

So a silly question maybe, but are people going to be able to play as any character they want, or will there be slots?  Can there be two Liliths or two Bricks in one game?

[schild]

You know, I have no clue.

[Hoax]

That's really important but not important, that whole L4D choose a character aspect raises a ton of questions for me as well but nothing can make this not a buy on release day title so who cares.

[schild]

Yea, worst case you'll just have to compromise. I'll compromise by not being either of the bigger dudes.

[Falwell]

I'll have to dig it up but a video interview stated that yes, you can have multiples of the same character in game.

[schild]

I make wallpaper for you to enjoy with the fulliness.

[Falwell]

Jesus christ it's getting bad. Schild has went art school dropout crazy over this thing.

[schild]

I'm getting ready to offer them the first, last and only Preview in the history of f13.

Yea, it's getting bad.

Edit: I think we previewed some other shit once, but it wasn't much of a preview. More like a review in preview form.

[gryeyes]

I'll have to dig it up but a video interview stated that yes, you can have multiples of the same character in game.

The characters are actual classes and not just aesthetics right? Be pretty fucked up if you couldn't.

Yeah, each "character" has different talent trees etc. I remember that the Gearbox pres. specifically stated that you could have four bricks in a game and they'd all be different.

[Triforcer]

Why is it that everytime a game announces "weapons that combine, RANDOMLY!!" the jaded f13 cynics become slavering fanbois?  All the usually skepticism born of bitter experience is just thrown out the window. 

[schild]

You shut the hell up and do more research.

[jakonovski]

There's quite a bit more over which to slaver in Borderlands. I haven't bothered to post, but ever since Giantbomb's last interview, I've been totally sold on this.

[DeathInABottle]

So schild, if Borderlands and Diablo III were in a fight for your affections, which would win?

[schild]

Right now? Borderlands. I'm on a media blackout for Diablo 3 atm.

[Ragnoros]

Right now? Borderlands. I'm on a media blackout for Diablo 3 atm.

Media blackout the day before Blizcon?!?

[schild]

I've had a media blackout in place since the first video was unveiled. I know nothing beyond that video. I don't need to know anything beyond that video.

Why would I hype myself up, it's goddamn Diablo 3.

[Hayduke]

I haven't found myself fiending for hit of gameplay previews or screenshots from Blizzard since D1.  It'll come out.  Why torture yourself the agony of the title being delayed.  Then delayed.  Then delayed again.

[gryeyes]

Its purchase is assured, I know I will not be disappointed.

[Teleku]

Its purchase is assured, I know I will not be disappointed.

Famous last words.

Having said that, I to am going to buy this god damn game, because much like Schild, I'm an unabashed loot whore.

[Yegolev]

I'll buy it as well, but I liked Too Human so I'm probably even worse than the rest of you.

[Rasix]

I'll buy it as well, but I liked Too Human so I'm probably even worse than the rest of you.

Did you just compare Too Human to Diablo 3?

 

And yes, I know your gaming tastes can run toward the  . 

[Yegolev]

Did you just compare Too Human to Diablo 3?

Eeeehhh... possibly.  I'm pretty sure there's very little chance Diablo 3 will be worse than Too Human; if I was comparing, that's how.  Given that, I'm sure I will love it.

You know, I'm not sure my gaming tastes qualify as "tastes".  On the other hand, if a game gives me something I really like, I can ignore a surprising amount of bullshit.

[Venkman]

So schild, if Borderlands and Diablo III were in a fight for your affections, which would win?

Mike Dikta?

 

[Sky]

On the other hand, if a game gives me something I really like, I can ignore a surprising amount of bullshit.

This is generally the case with every game out there, some people are just willing to admit their biases.

[Moosehands]

I make wallpaper for you to enjoy with the fulliness.

That image has been driving me crazy for a while now because it's so familiar.

Can anyone dig up the painting, I think it's by some polish guy, of a dude with a gas mask face and a machine gun hand blowing his brains out?  There's no way Borderlands didn't copy that.

[Tannhauser]

I am officially on board with this game.  Read a big article on it in PC Gamer and my appetitite, she is whetted.

[NiX]

The trick to being like Yegolev is having a nice white t-shirt to game in. Freshly washed and ironed too. Really helps you endure games like Too Human.
