You have to have a log in on Gamespy to do multiplayer?
I may never play this online. Fuck gamespy.
Of course, I may never be able to log back into Steam, so whatever.

Yes. Apparently, you have to login to Gamespy to play. |

Guess I'm not playing multiplayer then. Is LAN-play available?
Of course, I may never be able to log back into Steam, so whatever.

Well, the actual game is fun so far. Shoot things, they blow up into loot - money, ammo and guns. You can't really ask for more than that.

The online play is made of absolute fail. Click join public games and it apparently loads EVERY SINGLE GAME that exists anywhere. There's no information about ping or location for any of the games. Oh, and this can take a very long time and basically hangs your system for 3-5 minutes. That's on top of timing out trying to join any game. But I haven't forwarded ports yet so I might be able to fix that last part.
This is looking to be a LAN party only game. Fuckin clownshoes.
Single player is fun so far. I already got a sick purple SMG with a scope that's my baby. But fuck gamespy and online mode.

You can avoid this problem with private games only, which I think is what a lot of us here were planning on doing anyway. I did make a public game just to see if I could get it to work, which it did. Oh, also, Schild, while you do need to log into gamespy to play multiplayer, you don't actually need to download the gamespy client or anything, its all done in game, if that makes a difference to you. Still need a gamespy account though. |

If I had $200 lying around, I would get a commercial Hamachi license for f13 right fucking now. Mostly because we probably should've had one years ago.

You have to have a Gamespy account? Ick. I thought I had washed my hands of them years ago. No wonder the matching making is made of fail.

Can't repair my Steam install, keeps failing.
Can't uninstall/reinstall because, well, it'll delete all my games.
I want to kill something (irl).

Business hours start at noon PDT for Valve? must be nice.
No one likes doing work first thing in the morning, either. Was it still up for the preorder price until the moment it unlocked? If so, there's yer reason - last-moment sales. |

I go to dinner:
This game will unlock in approximately 2 hours.
I return from dinner, f5:
This game will unlock in approximately 3 days and 6 hours.
FUUUUUUUUUUUU---
Yes, 3 days for me as well now. Pricks. |

The UI is too consoly. This is my biggest complaint with the game so far, granted, I've played up to level 3.. and then stopped to make dinner, so i haven't exactly played this a lot in the ehh...2 hours its been released. |

No lie.

Game has some weird fucking stutters and seems to general protection fault when I tab out. Menus have consoleitis. page-up/page-down and not scrollwheel for quest descriptions? Having to actually hit enter to sell an item? Yuck. Unskippable intro shit? RAGE. This game needs a miracle patch. Lots of people got suckered. Look at you all, a bunch of suckers.  Edit: Fixed my gamespy issue. It was me. Rather, it was peerblock. |

Oh. No, sorry. I mean I can't get into Steam.
I CAN'T. LOG. ONTO. STEAM. I could care less about Gamespy at this point.
Seems my Steam install is corrupt. I could install but it deletes ALL MY GAMES since I can't do a backup from outside of Steam. This entire thing is clownshoes. FUCKING CLOWNSHOES.
Probably just never gonna use Steam again. They can keep my $3,000 or whatever I've spent there.

Reinstall steam and start downloading!
But seriously, the sooner you do the sooner you'll be up and running again, and you don't have to reinstall every game, jsut the ones you play regularly.

No no, I'm done.
Edit: Done being "The only solution I will accept is one that requires me do practically nothing." I've paid too much through this service to be even minorly inconvenienced. The point at which it becomes more of a hassle than shopping brick and mortar is the point where I get off that train. I've got one foot off already.

Nice purchase. Maybe next time you'll have the mindset of allowing yourself a torrent-trial before flushing 50 dollars down the drain.
edit: and sometimes steam corrupts and you have to reinstall and/or read the forum for fixes (there are fixes on there) Whats the big deal about reinstalling steam and your games?

This has nothing to do with Borderlands. |

Don't torrent Steam, it's a trap.

Probably a dumb question, but you did you drop a message to support? I've heard they are responsive, no personal experience though.

Overreact just a little there? Pop in a movie and you'll be done downloading anything you're going to play in the next month before it's finished. I know you get faster speeds than I do and I get over 700 Kbs easy. I'm more miffed that this sounds like a bad console port. Is there a return option for a game you haven't even played yet? |
