Got this game last night, it keeps getting better and better. I was playing it split screen with my friends and neither of us wanted to stop playing (so we didn't until 5am).

Gamertag's daaanosaur on the 360, I added a couple of you who posted in this thread. I want to play more co-op!

My copy unlocks on the 26th -- I'm concerned about how few of my friends I've convinced to buy the PC version, though.

Don't worry, there's still me and KvP who joined up with two people from KW to buy the game. So I'm pretty sure we'll often have someone to co-op with.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #102 on:** 24 Oct 2009, 09:11 »

I bought the Steam version, too, I figured saving 15 bucks would be worth the extra week.

Darke · « **Reply #103 on:** 24 Oct 2009, 10:04 »

With all the raving I've seen for this game I think I'll just have to buy it. Next week at some point, probably.

Gamertag's MickFM if anyone's up for a game, although you'll all no doubt have ridiculously strong characters before I've even loaded up the game.

Scandanavian War Machine · « **Reply #104 on:** 24 Oct 2009, 11:53 »

just found a huge revolver called "Unending Justice" that, along with being very powerful and having a huge scope, regrows it's own ammo constantly.

Alex C · « **Reply #105 on:** 24 Oct 2009, 12:33 »

If I buy it, it will likely be for the PC as well.

Nodaisho · « **Reply #106 on:** 24 Oct 2009, 12:48 »

I'm definitely getting this eventually. Which probably means after everybody else has stopped playing.

I need a job.

Ozymandias · « **Reply #107 on:** 24 Oct 2009, 13:06 »

I'll be getting this for PC and 360.

So.

I can play with everyone!

Steam: OzymandiasX
360: Ozymandiax

I've added you to Steam friends, Ozzy!

Melodic · « **Reply #109 on:** 24 Oct 2009, 18:02 »

Which one of you is Pop Stalinist? Is it KvP or Dimmukane?

Kveep

est · « **Reply #111 on:** 24 Oct 2009, 23:05 »

I can't decide which platform to get this on. Can you play it 3rd-person? This is the only way I'd be able to play it on 360.

Melodic · « **Reply #112 on:** 24 Oct 2009, 23:08 »

No 3rd person! Get it for PC!

est · « **Reply #113 on:** 24 Oct 2009, 23:16 »

Actually, I dunno. I've watched a few gameplay videos and it looks like maybe I could get it on 360. Decisions!

See, this is why we need cross-platform multi and/or a cross-platform license. Buying one game and being able to download it for all your platforms and activate with your cdkey (and only play one at a time, obviously) would be sweet.

pilsner · « **Reply #114 on:** 25 Oct 2009, 01:36 »

Agreed. I'm going PC since it will provide better graphics and controls for me. This looks great, I'm looking forward.

McTaggart · « **Reply #115 on:** 25 Oct 2009, 08:48 »

It boils down to whether you want Steam achievements or Live achievements.

est · « **Reply #116 on:** 25 Oct 2009, 13:03 »

I couldn't be bothered with either.

LTK · « **Reply #117 on:** 25 Oct 2009, 13:16 »

I could care less about achievements, but trust me, you don't want to have to deal with Live. All that shit with Live accounts and gamertags and e-mail addresses, it's absolute torture to get through. All of the games that required GFWL to play were ruined for me before I could even begin.

Alex C · « **Reply #118 on:** 25 Oct 2009, 13:18 »

I've been less than impressed with Live's customer service in the past as well.

Ozymandias · « **Reply #119 on:** 25 Oct 2009, 13:30 »

GFWL is shit.

XBL is fuckin' great.

KvP · « **Reply #120 on:** 25 Oct 2009, 13:43 »

Huh, I just attached my XBL tag to my GFWL tag.

GFWL is still pretty headache-inducing though.

Alex C · « **Reply #121 on:** 25 Oct 2009, 13:53 »

Yeah, I don't even fuck around with GFWL, to be honest, not while Steam is around.

Yo dudes, if you're getting the PC version post your Steam ID (you wankers).

Storm Rider · « **Reply #124 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 02:11 »

Just finished the campaign. Gotta find one more Claptrap, and then it's on to Playthrough 2. I also just broke 20,000 achievement points, so... that's something.

I found a revolver that does 41x7 damage and I was only level 12. I dumped some skill points into Gun Crazy and proceeded to one-shot every effing enemy who didn't have a shield until I made it out of the dahl highlands. With a lucky critical, I one-shotted an enemy vehicle. With a revolver. I love this game.

Hey, Brian's finally beating me.

How about that.

It's hard keeping to the same point in the game to play online with people.

And I didn't have to play the Iron Man game to do it, either.

Ozymandias, broski, your steam friends name is tops.

I'm at uni and I check steam and it says "This game will unlock in approximately 2 hours" I get home two hours later and I get "This game will unlock in approximately 3 days". Nice one Steam!

Dimmukane · « **Reply #132 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 12:56 »

Steam: dimmu.kane or Dimmukane, not sure which one shows up in the searches.

Is your computer plugged in?

Dimmukane · « **Reply #134 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 13:50 »

Fuck. It's not decrypting whatever files it needs to decrypt. When I launch it I get a DOS window for 2 seconds and then nothing.

pilsner · « **Reply #135 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 13:52 »

Is your computer turned on sir?

Dimmukane · « **Reply #136 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 14:01 »

Nah, turns out you have to restart Steam once before you can decrypt it. However, I've been reading that some other people are still having issues starting the game, we'll see if they affect me in about 2 minutes.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #138 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 19:24 »

So some of you may have noticed I haven't responded in the last 5 hours. Yeah, it works fine now. And I can punch things until they catch on fire.

Melodic · « **Reply #139 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 21:02 »

Initial impressions:

-contrary to my initial hopes, the PC version is definitely a port
-no anti-aliasing and mouse smoothing make it extremely aggravating, especially as a sniper
-Gamespy sucks hard

My GID is Rhythmikk, I guess our Steam IDs won't be good enough.

Professor Snuggles · « **Reply #140 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 21:21 »

First game I've bought this close to release in years.

And it's fucking awesome.

Ozymandias · « **Reply #141 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 21:40 »

My roommate and I are super angry about this GameSpy shit.

We can play with each other over LAN and our friends who went in on the 4-pack with us also can over their LAN, but all four of us? Not happening.

Melodic · « **Reply #142 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 21:48 »

Every time I try to load the Join Game lobby, the game freezes. It is sort of ridiculous?

KvP · « **Reply #143 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 22:35 »

Yeah Steam forums are exploding with bug reports. Plenty of people seem to have access to the game but it seems like at least for certain regions Valve pushed back the release date 3 days without prior notice. So yeah, surprise!

Melodic · « **Reply #144 on:** 26 Oct 2009, 23:16 »

This thread solves a lot of my immediate issues with Borderlands, although I still freeze at the MP menu.

est · « **Reply #145 on:** 27 Oct 2009, 03:18 »

So I finally decided that I was going to buy this tonight so that I could play it. I went to the Steam store and found out that Australia is one of the regions that the release has been pushed back in.

Fuck that

LTK · « **Reply #146 on:** 27 Oct 2009, 09:26 »

Huh. Well, the release date is still October 30 for me, like it had been all the time.

Dimmukane · « **Reply #147 on:** 27 Oct 2009, 09:37 »

I am still waiting to get the guns that shoot bullets in smiley face spreads.

Anyone find any cool little hideaways? There's that big raider outpost in the Arid Badlands on a rock, and I found a little shed a little ways away from there with a small basement with a red chest and a couple psycho midgets.

Ozymandias · « **Reply #148 on:** 27 Oct 2009, 10:09 »

My roommate and I played through Sledge's Hideout to get the mine key last night, him as a siren, me as a berserker.

Fun as hell. We died so many times but got so good at reviving ourselves/each other.

I am a midget punching machine.

Just wait. Bunch of people on on the PA forums said they were having the same problem but if you wait it works fine. apparently it just "appears to freeze" but will work after a little bit. I don't know how long or anything or even if that's totally true since i play on 360 anyway, but it seems like a common problem.
