Borderlands 2

[Rokal]

The game was fun with friends, but the level scaling was totally broken unless you stayed within 2 levels of your friends. You either walked all over the enemies you were fighting (+2 levels or more on host) or hit enemies for 1-2 damage per shot (-2 or more levels on host). Hope they fix it in the sequel.

[Hoax]

Fuck gearbox, pretty sure I'm pirating this just to spite them.

This is coming from someone who put 100 hours into the first one, bought or recommended the game to a lot of others then over time realized they just did not give any fucks about the pc players. Fuck gearbox.

[Nija]

Oh look, another magic asian chick.

New character models, same classes. Note the "SIREN" skill tree. I think I'm on to them this time around.

[Azazel]

I liked the first one well enough but your success or failure was very dependant on the random loot you got.  I read that this one is going to have timers which alter the story line, like if you don't rescue a person in time they die for good so fuck that.  I despise time limits, especially in games like this where I like to be slow and deliberate, investigating every nook and cranny for hidden treasure chests.

Oh!

That sounds completely shit.

[Ingmar]

As long as it is upfront with telling you exactly when that shit is going on, I don't mind so much, but yeah.

That's pretty cute and great news. The improved match-making hopefully meaning they've taken Gamespy behind the shed and put it out of its misery.

Was playing borderlands 1 again and realised part of the reason it's still addictive. A definite sense of style (though not for everyone), shooting stuff with solid feeling weapons and effects, a variety of play-style possibilities through classes and builds and trying to get lucky with the gear that perfects the build you have in mind.

[Azazel]

You know, the scary thing is that I still don't trust those motherfuckers. I'll get the game at some point, but it won't be day-1. Probably from the bin of glorious bargains.

I will buy the second one the same way that I bought the first one, a steam sale almost a year after release for a fraction of the original pricing.

[Margalis]

First game had a lot of problems that should be relatively easy fixes.

In particular the fact that you fought a million different varieties of Skags (Skrags?) and the fact that though there were a bunch of different weapon classes and a lot of random variation everything felt kind of samey.

[Nonentity]

Despite the FOV that drove me absolutely bananas with wonky scripting FOV bound to all my movement keys, I still put 80 hours into Borderlands. That's enough to warrant a Day 1 purchase for me.

It's my number 2 game on my Steam hours played list.

[Azazel]

I bought it Week-1 on both PC and 2 copies on 360, since my wife's PC at the time couldn't handle it. They already got my premium dolllars. Much busier with work (and WoW) these days, so picking it up later won't hurt me.

[murdoc]

I've played more Borderlands in the last week than I did in the previous 3 years. Took me a bit to modify the .ini file so that I was happy, but having a blast with it right now.

Solo or MP? I tried to play some MP and my friend was skipping all over the place it just doesn't work well.

Purely MP. Just running a few private games with friends. Ran shockingly smooth for me, I expected the worst after reading about some of their MP woes.

I put a solid 30 hours in, mostly solo.  With QOL changes, it's a solid day 1 purchase.  I might be the only person here that thought it was a decent solo experience, albeit aided greatly by multiplayer being available.  The game could be unnecessarily difficult in a boring way unless you found the right guns, and MP helps a lot with that.

Plus, it releases on my birthday.  Fate beckons.

You are not alone. A quick look at Steam shows my played time as 136 hours. Thats about 95% solo.

EDIT: Odd I missed it. I have even been keeping up with this thread and everything. Oh well, BW.

[Kageru]

Beaten by about half a page.

I'm happy they are actually considering PC gamers though, so happy to see it again.

[rk47]

Ahahahah. No. I bought it at $10 and felt it wasn't worth the money. I rather run ME3 MP than suffer through boring gunplays.

Nah, I loved it.  Duo it's a blast, but I've gotten through it single-player, too.  Looking forward to this one.

[Fabricated]

If the fix the whole cohesiveness thing with quests/story in MP and made the matchmaking...you know, fucking work I'd be happy.

[Yegolev]

Best fun not happen with competent friends but instead jackasses.

Isn't it great that we've reached the point where "100% Mouse usable in UIs..." and "Push to talk" have to be thrown onto a freaking bullet list.

[Samwise]

And after the first game got developed on the PC, for the PC, from the very beginning, too.   

[koro]

Borderlands is a weird game for me. I've played it solo and largely gotten bored with it after a couple chapters into it. I really want to do multiplayer coop for it, but finding people to it's been like pulling teeth. Either people flake out at the last minute or they just... forget. It's kind of annoying!

I have faith that Gearbox will find other ways to fuck up the port to the PC.

Is it still a necro if Trippy's post is dated March 21, 2014?  What's with that?  Did my time slip slip slip into the future again?  Anyway:

Borderlands 2 DLC and Season Pass Announced
Now that Borderlands 2 has gone gold and we've shifted our efforts to post-launch support of the game, we have some exciting news to share about our plans for add-on content.

After the release of the game, four brand new add-on campaigns for Borderlands 2 are coming your way, featuring new areas to explore, new adventures to undertake, new enemies to overcome and more. Priced individually at 800 Microsoft Points for Xbox 360 and $9.99 on PC and PlayStation 3, these four campaign add-ons are scheduled to hit by June 2013 with more details to come in the future.

Soon we'll be offering a "Season Pass" bundle that includes all four campaign add-on packs for 2400 Microsoft Points on Xbox 360 and $29.99 on PC and PlayStation Network -- a savings of 25% over buying each campaign add-on individually. The Borderlands 2 Season Pass will be available through Steam, PlayStation Network and Xbox Live and will also be available at GameStop.

NOTE: The Borderlands 2 Premiere Club and other pre-order items are not included in the Borderlands 2 Season Pass. For more details about the Borderlands 2 Premiere Club and other pre-order items, please visit www.borderlands2.com/preorder and our Borderlands 2 FAQ: http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/sh...d.php?t=134125

Discount is good news.  Although I owe them already for not actually purchasing the expansions for the original.

[MisterNoisy]

I have a nVidia code for Borderlands 2 that I'm willing to give away here.  All my friends already have a copy preordered.  First reply indicating interest by any poster with over 100 posts to his/her name gets it.

[Ragnoros]

Do I count?

[Segoris]

Was the promo only for the 660 card? I didn't see anything in the 670 I just picked up but want to make sure I'm just not missing something

[MisterNoisy]

Yep - PM incoming.

Was the promo only for the 660 card? I didn't see anything in the 670 I just picked up but want to make sure I'm just not missing something

I think it's for all 6-series cards, though some of the codes are being sent out by email, while others are on pieces of paper, according to Newegg feedback.

[Yegolev]

I'm ready to joy-puke my face off.  Larger, clearer numbers popping out of enemies as I shoot them.

You shitflakes can avoid this if you like, but I believe you are missing out.

[Trippy]

Yeah I'm really looking forward to this game. The first one was okay, but this seems a lot better. I still have faith that gearbox will fuck up the PC port, though
