OCTOBER 20TH
I HAVE NOT BEEN THIS AMPED FOR A GAME IN UHHHHH
DO IT FUCKERS
-
doin' it
-
After hearing Fallen Earth was terribly bad, I have moderate hopes for this game.
-
I still dont know what the real sys reqs are, the ones posted on steam seem off
A GEFORCE 8 (oldish, pretty much everyone has one) OR A RADEON R8XX? (which are the NEWEST FUCKING CARDS THAT THEY MAKE) for MINIMUM? what the hell
-
I wish there was a little more class diversity ala say TF2 (Even though that's not an RPG at all, I think each of those classes could be fleshed out to work) but I'm still pretty interested. I really enjoyed Fallout 3 and this basically looks like that mixed with Diablo 2, so sure.
-
It could be that someone's optimizing for the NVidia hardware, but that'd be insane and I can't imagine you'd get that kind of performance increase.
-
I might end up getting this for PC.
-
Considering it on the PC. Dunno yet.
-
It could be that someone's optimizing for the NVidia hardware, but that'd be insane
:rolleyes:
ATI blows
-
Does anybody not optimize specifically for nVidia any more?
-
It could be that someone's optimizing for the NVidia hardware, but that'd be insane
:rolleyes:
ATI blows
i'm sorry i cant hear you over Nvidia DYING (http://www.semiaccurate.com/2009/10/06/nvidia-kills-gtx285-gtx275-gtx260-abandons-mid-and-high-end-market/)
-
man that guy really hates Nvidia huh
-
Basically, engineering failure after engineering failure has left Nvidia without a high end part. It is left waving shells while trying desperately to convince the loyal press that it is real. While that is a problem for the future, the current concern is that it has nothing that can compete with ATI's Evergreen line, HD5870, HD5850, and the upcoming Junipers.
Ahahahahaha
-
I'm confused. Did Saturnz link the site that spends half the article talking about how nVidia can't compete with ATI anyway, and half the page advertising ATI seriously?
-
Basically he's saying the next generation will be a matter of technical superiority vs third party support OH SNAP NEVER SEEN THAT IN THE GAME INDUSTRY BEFORE.
-
If anyone thinks they'll be looking for a berserker on the 360 version, I'll be game :D
-
is your avatar R<3G canon?
-
is your avatar R<3G canon?
The lobster and honeybee I draw now have different personalities/come from somewhat different circumstances than stickfigure R&G, so I guess the answer is "I don't see why not"
-
I'd like to know why either of them even wanted to be John Cusack in the first place
-
Hey, at least it's better than being John Malkovich. ::3:
-
No. No. NO. NO! NO! NO!
EDIT: Yes, I get the movie reference, I still think the statement, at face value, is wrong.
-
Has anyone bought this yet, and is this supposed to be good?
-
reviews coming in suggest that it's like hellgate: london, only instead of being dogshit, it's really good. also, there's one guy who can kill you by throwing a bird at you, and another who can turn blood into grenades.
-
Apparently just about any weapon can be turned into a healing weapon if you're playing the support class.
Healing rockets.
Healing assault rifles.
Healing fists.
Etcetera.
-
EXTRAORDINARILY FRIENDLY FIRE
-
Oh man if there are Healing Molotovs I will buy this twice.
-
Bought for PC on steam.
gotta wait for it to unlock now
-
I want to buy this, but this seems like Left4Dead, which I didn't like that much. Maybe L4D with an rpg jammed inside will be good. The one thing that's holding me back now is an apparent lack of a push to talk button. They will probably add that someday, though.
-
/r/ people who are interested in saving 15 bucks by splitting a fourpack on steam
we already have i think 3 people interested and need another one or two?
-
Fuck it, in.
I'm getting close enough to not-broke now that I may as well give myself a paycheck advance. Yay responsibility!
-
Max already got in via IM
sry broski
other WFEfags can do your own 4pack before the price goes up
-
I'm willing to go in for a four pack, if people are still interested.
-
how much do you save with the four pack thing?
-
how much do you save with the four pack thing?
Your getting 4 for the price of 3
-
$11.2475, not figuring for tax.
Or for a less smartass answer, it's $33.75 each instead of $45. Plus tax. I don't remember offhand what kind of tax shit you have to pay for Steam, and it could possibly lead to some fantastic arguments.
EDIT: Apparently zilch, unless the person initiating the purchase lives in Washington. Remind me to rethink my opinion of that state.
-
I'm willing to throw in $33.75 to play. Any other takers?
-
I might be interested.
-
I played some today on the 360. I would be all over it if I had the money.
-
I think Constantine and I are pretty set on this, so PM one/both of us if interested.
-
Fuck it, I have the cash, and Hellgate seemed cool before it sucked. I'm in with you guys, however this works.
-
Okay, so Brent-Cait-Niku-Soup 4 pack go?
I am probably going to roll with Lilith, though what tree I do not know yet. I hope there is respeccing in the game so I can actually play around with them some.
-
I'm obviously enamored with the Medic build but just with Roland's skill tree I see some interesting build variations involving the amazing DISPENSO-TURRET.
I'll probably end up with 20 alts no matter what I do, so hey, whatever.
-
I think I'm going to start off with Mordecai. I've always really liked sharpshooters in FPSes and Treasure Finder talents are never a bad thing when you're playing with friends and you're all just starting out.
Also, the last time I really played a ranged class in a multiplayer Action RPG was a Bowazon in 2001, so (MUADDEEPS AND DOTSAREHARD DONT COUNT OKAY).
-
So, has anybody heard whether the PC version is compatible with the console version? Because I really don't want to get the PC version.
-
I had been considering getting the 360 version, but if enough people come around for another 4 pack I'll jump in.
-
The last time I knew of a console and PC compatible game.... It was called Shadowrun. Then I think people stopped trying after that.
-
One of the problems with Shadowrun is that the cross-compatibility confused people as to whether it was a 360 or PC game. That's how I ended up with a copy as a muddled gift.
...I actually ended up with a PC copy that I could play just fine (as opposed to an intended 360 one I couldn't) but I still traded it in for Bioshock anyway. And Brentai lived happily ever after.
-
Probably the most ambitious PC/(multiple) console cross-platforming instance is good old FFXI, which basically ended up with literally 90% of the PC population modding the living fuck out of the terrible UI with third-party programs and the console players crying SPLOITZ
-
At this rate I am probably not a part of this fantastic adventure for a while. Sorry gents.
-
It's okay, we'll be bored of it in a week.
-
If this is that kind of game I'm not sure I want to buy it.
But I probably will today anyways.
-
With this crowd it's generally not an indictment of the game so much as the crowd.
-
I'm totally ready to buy this game the more I hear about it. It's a good thing my bank account is negative, completely stopping me from being able to pay for it with the last of my money and die in two days of starvation next to my car out of gas on the side of the road while I can't call for help because I couldn't pay for my phone.
-
It is October 26th why cannot I not play this yet?
-
VALVE TIME STRIKES AGAIN!
-
By the time I get home from work everyone will be level 30.
-
I'm dumping most of the FotNS music in a playlist for this game. I think it would fit perfectly if I choose Brick.
-
Of course today is the day that four of my clients dump work on me.
They're all going to have to just fucking wait.
-
AHHHH THERE'S NO CTRL+R ON MY STEAM GAMES TAB
-
Thanks to Erfworld I now see the "Decrypting Game Files" message as turning all my game files into horrible pseudo-zombies.
This is amusing.
...also it's taking longer to unencrypt these files than it took to download them in the first place.
This is less amusing.
-
Yyyyyup. It's a good thing the game locks up when I go to the multiplayer lobby. I wouldn't want to play coop with anyone, no sir.
EDIT: So it is probably the huge server load that is causing the locking. Also no push to talk button, your microphone just transmits no matter what.
-
I just arranged circumstances that will allow me to purchase this game off Steam tomorrow!
-
How to turn off in-game voice chat
Note that this only turns off YOUR voice chat. You still hear everyone else.
Want to play this name and not have an open mic channel? Want to use ventrilo while playing this game?
Here's what you have to do:
1) Navigate to My Documents\My Games\Borderlands\WillowGame\Config
2) Open WillowEngine.ini
3) Search for "VOiP"
4) Set bHasVoiceEnabled to "false" (I don't know the name right now)
5) Make the file read only: (Right click, properties, read only)
6) Done! The game will no longer transmit anything your mic picks up.
-
Yeah, but then you can't talk to anyone.
-
I prefer typing to mic is never off.
-
Alternately, you can turn your mic off.
...at least I'm assuming that's a standard feature on headsets.
-
Thanks to consoles, I've been playing this game for the past two days!
-
GameSpy IDs, huh? Bleh.
I took the liberty of using my horrific mod powers to add a new section to Bongo's Master List, so go ahead and post/PM me/him your information/slash. We're probably going to want to play with buddies for a while, partially because it takes a glacial age for the public server list to load, and partially because reports say that there's not a lot in place to stop pubs from being pubs.
-
So, this is fun with people. My ID is Smilering.
-
WOO FIRST PURPLE DROP.
also anyone who leaves aim assist on is a chump.
-
"This game is currently unavailable. Please try again at a later time.'
::(:
-
Restart steam.
-
Yeah, now I'm waiting for the damn files to decrypt.
-
Ditto. :nyoro~n:
-
AWW MAN WE CAN ALL PLAY TOGETHER SOON MAYBE.
By the way I already turned off the ingame mic so maybe we could use steam's voice chat or something.

So, how do you host a game? We already opened the ports and everything, but we can't join anyone.
-
I think the servers are fucky. Smiler and Soup can both join my game now.
-
Also I'm Nikumatic, friend me. Also come back, Saxton Fail. :(
-
I had to restart the game and then someone was able to rejoin my game.
This game is fun and I like it a lot. However it is not perfect and there are a lot of weird things that are weird with it. But I still like it.
-
I AM CAR FLIPPING KING!
-
Game is great, especially when you have four people over voice communication. Saturn kept making the mistake of wandering off for no reason or stealing loot simply because nobody could tell him not to.
Also I am the king of the car.
-
Solution to the biggest problem: Turn off in-game voice, use Vent.
I am super unimpressed with Lilith's assassin tree so far. If the final skill doesn't bring BIG MONEY BIG PRIZES melee, I'm taking her full bore sorcerer mode.
I'm gonna alt Mordecai I think though. Three Sirens and one Soldier do not a balanced team make.
but god this game is eight flavors of fun
-
I heard one of Lilith's Phase-Walker talents was borken. Damage on re-entry or damage on initial phase or something.
-
I wasn't really feeling this game until I got the upgrade that made things I punch explode into fireballs.
-
Okay I have Nikuko the Siren, Sogeking the Hunter, Meking Fuque the Berserker, and D. Spencer the Soldier. Now I never have to alt+tab out of the intro again.
-
No Soup you are king of getting the fucking cars stuck. At least when I flipped the cars onto each other I could usually get them out. ::(:
I think I'll make a Brick. I am surprised no one picked him at first. I will be Heavy Weapons Kenshiro.
-
Ok, downloading on Steam. When it installs (and if by some miracle I can play tonight), I'll probably be Jarate the Sniper but AWAIT FURTHER INSTRUCTIONS
(Tommywantwingy on steam btw)
-
I'm glad people liked fallout so much that they made an entire new company, brand and development team just to add multiplayer to it
-
It's really more like Firefly than Fallout.
-
Mightyjoxam
-
Level 20 Roland/Soldier, just beat up Sledge. Doomykins is my gamespy name and my steam name.
[spoiler]The game is good and very fun, old-timey co-op feel with friends.[/spoiler]
-
madmaxjr57
-
pyotito is me, sure would be nice if I could actually join or host games though.
-
HOLY SHIT THIS ORANGE WEAPON I FOUND IS AWESOME.
its a combat rifle that has a six shot magazine, but when you fire, you gain 1 bullet in your total ammo
it also has a zoom and 99 accuracy
-
So... you go through your ammo 66% as fast as you would normally? Or do you basically have unlimited ammo as long as you're only using that weapon?
-
Malvado found a Soldier mod that gives everyone in the party an ammo regen of 1 bullet/second.
This includes rockets.
On the bad side, I seem to have encountered a bug that erased all of my skill points and weapon proficiencies (erased, not unallocated). This has been noted by the devs and will hopefully be fixed before I never want to play this game again.
So if you've put any time into your characters, you may want to look into backing up your save files (documents/my games/borderlands/savedata/). You've been warned.
-
As an added bit of coincidental humor, I was playing Brick.
-
look on the bright side
they didn't charge your credit card for $150 every single day this time
-
I AM THE GRENADE MONSTER OF THE ARENA
-
fuck yo grenades, nigga
Liking Siren a lot more now that I've both respecced and have a weapon of each elemental type, as well as a mod that increases elemental procs and damage for the team.
-
This game is great. Especially when you are dicking everyone else over. Doom kept blowing up the other car and driving away. A++
-
Roland 26
Lilith 12
Brick/Mordekai 1
also hell yeah
also great was the zone where running into enemies would make the cars randomly explode so I'd just huff it to tag the next quest marker while you dudes got raped by giant spiderants.
So getting 100% reduced Sentry cooldown only actually cuts it down to like 20-30 seconds.
Which is still enough to have it ready to win every fight and to deploy it 2-3 times for hard fights. Thumbs up.
-
Fuck you Doom you blew up more than half of the cars. Also Roland is the best class but Brick punches everything to death, especially with explodo fists.
-
Yeah it's really hard to drop Roland's infinite ammo and absolute control of most situations for anyone, especially since everyone else sucks shit for the first ten levels while Roland gets the option for infinite ammo at level 6.
-
Yeah, without reliable Roland drops about halfway through an area you are trying to manage ammo. With Doom and Constantine we didn't have to do that.
-
Fucking Skagzilla is immune to ignite. My sadness is profound.
Still dead though
-
Skagzilla uses his really long laser breath animation.
You get behind him and spam melee as Roland
You do 5% of his lifebar each time. :nyoro~n:
-
Or you shoot him in the laser hole. :perfect:
Nikuko the Siren is a svelte 26, and much more fun now as mentioned. Sogeking the Hunter just got to 11 with buddies, and can actually aim some weapons. My other two wallow in barely played starterness so far.
If you are going to play this game, for the love of fuck get Vent. I am looking directly at Mr. Saturn who I will refuse to play with ever again until we can scream at him.
-
Lilith is my favorite character now that I've tried them all. I really wasn't expecting that.
-
OK FINE I GOT VENT (and i thought i was doing better on the DONT RUN AHEAD AND GET EVERYONE DEAD thing today)
Also got my brick up to 15ish and just got the first elemental mod (MY PUNCHES ARE NOW ELECTRIC)
i was under leveled for that quest which ended up causing me to fight a fuckton of alpha skags that were 2 levels above me (the trick is to punch em in their unarmored butts)
my lillith is 22 and more or less always triggers elemental hits
and it seems that the class mod things that add to skills only effect skills you have a point in already
So... you go through your ammo 66% as fast as you would normally? Or do you basically have unlimited ammo as long as you're only using that weapon?
Unlimited ammo with that weapon
-
Has anybody else been able to hurt other players with the vehicle rocket launcher? Malikial did it somehow last night, and all we can figure is that because he was technically too low-level to actually have a car, the game somehow registered it as belonging to an enemy. Or... something.
We found that out after he blew his brother halfway across the Arid Badlands. P.S. I love the speed boost on Lilith's skill.
-
The Rocket Launcher deals no damage to other players.
ANY explosive barrels of which there are several kinds in many places however, will not only wreck other players but other vehicles in record speed.
Me and Smiler duo'd to 30. In my defense, I was sick as a dog and doing non-Borderland things became a lot less possible than it was when I went to bed in a healthy state of mind. Presumably I won't be around after 9:30 PM tonight anyway and as King Support I'm all about helping other people catch-up, so :shrug:
-
Thread Suggestion and Dire Bro-Tip: If you find a purple/mod that is level 25 or lower and has insanely good stats(particularly a high Elemental modifier), maybe post about it before you trash it? Also particularly if you find an orange.
-
Man, I have an awesome revolver now. Does around 150 damage time 7. It does 4000 damage point blank. :perfect:
-
This game has taken vehicular bastardry to a whole new level.
-
Smiler has taken vehicular bastardry to a whole new level.
Nikuko is sitting pretty at 32, Sogeking sniped his way to 19, and .. Meking Fuque and D. Spencer will surely get their due someday?
-
OK so I started things with my infamous double play. Ride along in a four-man, two-car team to the distant quest location. Quest finished, I shoot the other car and blow it up and then ride off in the sole car, cock-blocking three people into walking to the nearest car-station simultaneously.
So we all begin eventually trying to sneak this in on each other.
And then Smiler and Constantine pull it on me, so I huff it back to the car station. It's near a drawbridge + cliff.
They push me off the cliff and drive off. It is the longest possible walk.
I am powered entirely by hatred and vengance.
And soon.. soon I introduce the terror of the teleport hi-jack, so that a man cannot even hop out of his car for two seconds and grab a tape recorder with peace of mind.
-
Doomby doomby doom Lilith with phasewalk cooldown hurrdy hurrdy hurr.
-
Apparently if I ever want to level at a decent rate, I need to quit my job or something. I just hit ten last night.
-
I have a level 19 orange detonating shotgun
-

And that doesn't even cover Constantine trying to send me off a cliff to my doom, falling with me, and then we both survive because it wasn't a death cliff after all.
-
so basically all of my weapons now either explode people or set them on fire
I am defining this as the best equipment
-
So uh, what the fuck is the vent server we are using anyway
Also whats a good Push to talk button for borderlands
-
I like Z but I use that for vent in everything, and if it turned out that the game used Z for an ability I'd probably go in and remap the keybind.
-
I stick push to talk on one of my mouse thumb buttons personally. Never given me a problem except for when I also had Power Word Shield on the same mouse button.
As far as Vent servers go, there's the LB server and there's Joxam's server afaik. If people are using others too, I'm not sure of them.
-
I don't even know what Joxam's server info is.
-
I don't even know what Joxam's server info is.
and i dont know what the LB server info is.
-
Roland - 32, Rust Commons Drawbridges Down/Jaynisburg
Lilith - 19, Sledge dead, all Arid Badland stuff down(basically entering the Mad Mel zone fresh)
Just polished off my Arid Badland quests on Lilith this morning. Prolly gonna do non-Borderlands stuff for a bit.
-
Been plucking away at some Mad Mel zone stuff today. 21 verging on 22 with Mordecai, with a full suite of nice purples lined up when I can level enough to use them. Will likely not have time to group-stomp much again until Sunday though. :(
-
I think we should wait until Niku can play to beat the game. It wouldn't be the same without plowing cars into each other and blowing up the other car.
I'm probably going to work on Mordecai for now.
-
All I'm gonna promise is not to like, enter the vault by myself. And I certainly never mind double-backing to help you guys, it tends to get me tons of cash, half a level, and a shot at unique guns.
I got a legendary level 25ish volcanic sniper rifle. It can one-shot cars. It hits like I threw the entire volcano. I love it so.
-
i wonder if i can play with you lot, given that i def. stole the game due to poorness
(if not, maybe i'll just.. buy it instead of medication??? D:)
-
HAMACHI
-
they have the steam version. it is a dick move to make them all download hamachi and play offline and make everyone have a bad day because i am poor.
-
It could be worse.
You could be the dumbasses stomping to 50 and bitching that the game is too short.
DOESN'T HOLD UP AFTER 72 HOURS STRAIGHT WHAT A BAD GAME
-
:derp:
-
I BEAT THE GAME IN THREE DAYS AND ALL I GOT WAS THIS SOCK FULL OF EXCREMENT.
-
URINE? IN MY OFF BRAND COKE BOTTLE?
IT'S MORE LIKELY THAN YOU THINK
-
I think people are expecting it to have the replay value of Diablo.
Which it very well could have managed without the vast list of minor problems. Those countless fuckups don't stop the game from being fun and original and worth the money, but it does keep it out of the upper echelons of "shit we're still going to care about years from now". Or days, as Niku would have it.
-
that depends. i would be basically not shocked to see an expansion with new characters.
-
Given that they're clearly trying to get in on everybody's inner lootwhore just like everybody else, I think if they wanted the game to hae longevity they would have included armor.
It'd be entirely realistic to figure you were going to lose your entire playerbase to Diablo 3 anyway, so pushing for replay may actually not have been a smart move.
-
Point.
-
that depends. i would be basically not shocked to see an expansion with new characters.
DLC was announced before the game was even released. I would expect new areas and quests, but I highly doubt there will be new characters.
-
Well, DLC and expansions are kind of different things, though it's true that the issue has become muddied thanks to the dumbing-down of PC gaming for casual console audiences.
-
I do not think "dumbed down" and "casual" are fitting descriptors for this game.
-
that was sort of a joke
-
Though it did recently occur to me that one of the first games i ever played was Ultima Exodus on the NES, thus putting me more than a decade ahead of the curve on the whole "hating on consoles for ruining PC gaming" trend.
Of course, i think the Ultima series is generally shit anyway, but.
-
Also the problem with DLC is that it might not even come out for PC. How many companies release DLC for PC other than Bethesda, Bioware, and Rockstar?
-
Capcom
-
Pretty sure the ACTION TEAM will be onto Hell difficulty after our next playthrough.
-
Steam has DLC support, does Borderlands have Steamworks integration? I can't recall, and I can't think of a single person who bought it anywhere else.
-
A little. I could not start Borderlands without even a passive connection to the Steam network.

I have discovered a love for burning things that everyone already knew I had, but the Malwahr (sp?) Hellfire series of legendary SMGs combined with a very high quality Firefly mod and Phoenix at level 5 means I am the burninator. What's that you say? Fire is almost useless against shields? Not when you burn as hot as I do, baby, and for those tough targets I use my shock 2 artifact to shred every shield in the area, and then burn everything all the way to death. The only thing that will mitigate my incendiary lust is heavy armor, at which point I switch to my revolver that possesses the Get Sick trait, making it's x4 corrosive affect almost 100%, and highly contagious to nearby enemies.
Speaking of wide spread mayhem, Incendiary Bouncing Betty mod is highly recommended to the discerning grenadier.

Besides finally being able to turn off mouse smoothing I think the most interesting is changing gravity for everybody on your server. Heh heh heh heh.

Lillith makes me wish this game had a third person mode so I could watch all the badass shit I do, such as sprouting flaming wings. See also: Brick.

Yeah, I read that, but I wouldn't want to hit a button other than the one for phase walk. The skill would work better in general from a third person perspective, and the same is true of Brick's Berserk. I just think it would have been slightly better design, I don't really care to mess with it.

It would especially alleviate the need to look around you each and every time you leave phasewalk to make sure you're not going to pop next to an explosive barrel.
-
Bind it to F, then. I usually use F to end phasewalk anyway.
-
I always melee attack from phase walk, because it's a free hit for significant corrosive damage. It should be in-built is one of my points, and the other is that I don't care enough to actually do something to change it.

TEAM ACTION TEAM is on to playthrough 2 and jesus shit is it fun. Everything starts at level 32 to begin with and ramps up, and they throw double or triple the enemies at you in most spawn areas. Also you begin seeing incredible things in vending machines that cost over two million double dollars.

I found a way to make the font smaller. I'm not sure if it will show more than five lines, but it looks like it could fit six.
Go to %BORDERLANDS%\WillowGame\Localization\INT\
Find the gd_globals.INT file. MAKE A BACKUP.
Open the gd_globals.INT file.
Replace
AttributePresentationTranslation="$NUMBER$ $CONSTRAINT$ $DESCRIPTION$"
with
AttributePresentationTranslation="<font size="10">$NUMBER$ $CONSTRAINT$ $DESCRIPTION$</font>"
-
As far as i know, it can, but won't. Seems to be hard-coded only to display 5 (probably because the text in that window is supposed to scroll).
-
So I found the best glitch ever. In the racetrack for the death race quest, there is an area you can get up to so you can fall off the map. It's pretty sweet.

BRICK IS TOO HEAVY TO FALL INTO OBLIVION
THAT MAKES BRICK ANGRY
AAAAAAAAH

in the ps3 version, acceleration in the car is handled by pushing up on the stick. Is it this dumb in every version of the game?
-

So Scooter is a little ugly.

am i the only person on the earth who likes Halo controls for vehicles
-
and is it possible that i like them because i don't drive?
-
halo controls for vehicles is just fun, fuck the haters who are gonna hate
-
The vehicle controls fucked with me because I had just been playing Half-Life 2 where the vehicle controls were very different. I'm cool with them now, though.
-
yeah I am used to them now too
now I just need to get the hang of explaining to my 6 year old nephew that he doesn't get to drive
-
It took me a few seconds to realize "Oh, Halo controls." After that it only took me a few seconds to realize that this game is pretty much RPG Halo. You have the shields with the same noises from Halo, you jump 7 feet in the air and then just float down like Halo, and you get bossed around by Cortana just like Halo.
It doesn't change the fact that this game is awesome though.
-
The DLC is coming out on the 24th.
On Consoles.
-
We are PC users. There's no way to deliver downloadable content to us.
-
It's been two weeks since release and I still have a character with a dozen missing skill points. Not too excited about paying more money on this game.
-
No, you see, no one buys games for PC, they just steal them. Therefore, why should they support a game they made for the PC?
-
So yeah, the ending was sorta bullshit, but it does sort of justify a couple of the game mechanics in a roundabout way.
[spoiler]Okay, so you get infinite clones of yourself for a nominal fee, while everybody else in the world actually seems to give a shit about who you go around killing. And Scooter will happily generate all the cars you want to wreck while bitching about everybody else in the world getting their cars blown up.
So, just for fun, take a quick look at the maker's mark above every New-U and Catch-A-Ride station. Wanna take a wild guess who makes and controls them?
It's a pretty sweet deal, really - Hyperion's got pretty much exclusive control of who has functional immortality on Pandora, and so they use that very selectively to gain control of the Vault, only allowing use of it to basically the first person they find who is willing to follow the orders of a creepy digitized voice without question. There's no indication that anybody besides you and the hacked claptrap in Fyrestone has any idea what it really does - since all the stations double in function as a Fast Travel destination, it may be that most of the citizens of Pandora just assume it's an oddly named teleportation network.
The best part about this theory is that it implies that Scooter is actually part of the whole conspiracy, sitting there in New Haven knowing the whole time exactly what you're up to.
Also it means that your reward for finding The Vault is less bullshit - the modest sum of cash that Tannis dumps on you for delivering the key is just for show, since the GA-Man doesn't even want to risk broadcasting out loud what your real reward is - continued unrestricted access to the New-U system, effectively making you an immortal God among the Pandorans. As long as you don't mind being God of a broken-down pile of trash.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]But Tannis is some crazy lady who used to work for the Dahl Corp. Hyperion doesn't really have any grip on Pandora aside from some of the technology there. Atlas has the Crimson Lance chilling out there, and Dahl is responsible for the billions of bandits.
Scooter is not bitching at you for blowing up your own car because this game not being Deus Ex. That and you can assume that since you are doing things for him, he sort of doesn't mind as much when you wreck one car out of his infinite pile of cars.[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]If you follow the storyline closely you start to realize that Tannis is not as crazy as you might think. It's very likely that she thinks her recorder is talking to her because her recorder is actually talking to her - she's been in communication with the GA since long before you arrived, and has been basically working for her because seriously fuck Dahl.
The idea isn't so much that Hyperion has a tangible grip on Pandora but that they have a very, very subtle way of keeping tabs on everything - through the seemingly innocuous Fast-Travel network and by apparently having some way to monitor the ECHO network, though this last bit is a tad confusing because it seems to be a mishmash of Dahl, Atlas and Hyperion tech.[/spoiler]
-
Alternate theory: [spoiler]It's just the Gene Worm from Opposing Force.[/spoiler]
-
...fuck
-
More dumb Let's Read Into an Unfinished Story fun!
[spoiler]So if you pay attention, it seems that Steele is the person that all four characters are looking for. She has the same tattoos as Lilith, which suggests she's a Siren (yes I know the tattoos are there because she's a recycled beta model, it STILL suggests she's a Siren). She's the leader of the local Crimson Lance faction, which we can go ahead and assume is the Brigadiers that Roland is hunting. She's female, which makes her as much of a candidate for Brick's sister as anybody else. And, well, God knows what the hell Mordecai's backstory really is, it's obvious they were going to write his first before abandoning the entire Unique Story idea.
...all of which makes it even funnier that the moment you finally catch up to her, she goes and gets devoured. GUESS THAT WRAPS EVERYTHING UP NICELY HUH :whoops:[/spoiler]

The vault is a sled.

DLC dropped today for PC. Right on the steam store page, it says Securom and 5 activation limit.
:MENDOZAAAAA:
-
I don't know why people want to give more money for this game anyway. $34 was enough.
-
Yeah I'm pretty glad that they're really really intent on reminding me why I don't want their DLC.
-
So I figure we have another thread for this somewhere but I couldn't find it

Hm. Got my skin item, activated it, but it's not showing up in the New-U menu. Do you have to do something DLC-special?
-
No, I don't believe so? Should just work. If it doesn't, at the very least it's tied to your shift account.
-
It turned out it just chunked the wrong class item at me first, and then allowed me to consume it. Well, no extra Maya skin, I guess.

so Brent and Romo and I have been playing live action Thing in Borderlands
but I think we found the last one
