Game Informer Exclusive: Borderlands...Nice

[Half Japanese]

Lol 2 years later "the game" came out

2 years is about par for the course with game development, no? In fact, it seems a little on the short side considering how long some games stay in development.

Yeah it also didn't live up to half of what it was supposed to be yet people still seem to love it so who cares.

Just purchased. I know what i'll be doing this weekend.

More than likely never going to own this game, but this video is awesome.

I might be taking advantage of the Steam preorder four-pack, if my friends can make a decision for once. It would only be $34 each.

This game is great. Im level 15 right now playing as a Hunter. I also have another game going as a siren and im at level 7 with her.

Anyone else purchase? Thoughts?

My friends and I are experiencing the joys of a Steam game launch. Lots of problems with decrypting pre-load files, loading up the game, etc. I'm in right now and it looks great.

Can someone tell me why they still pre-render cinematics? The game looks better than the cinematics! Bink Video is also has notoriously bad vertical sync, lots of tearing on every frame.

Damn got this today but I am deep in a coop campaign of Saints Row 2 with my buddy and I cant skip that.

How does the online component treat those of you that got it for the PC?

Finished the achievements off last night as well as a second playthrough. I won't ruin anything but at least there is incentive to continue playing around after you reach the level cap. I love the thrill of MAYBE finding orange weapons.

I'm always sad to nearly be done with a game this good, with a game that grabs me such and doesn't let go until it's over (twice, in this case). I've never been glued to a game like this since Fallout 3... and considering my gaming history this last year that's a good thing. Potential game of the year for me based on the fun and experience alone, but we'll see come January 2010 when the year is over.

I don't know how long I've put into the game, but I would probably guess 40 - 50 hours easily.

This is REALLY a wonderful game. It feels like a tribute to FPS, being adaptable to however you want to play it. I'm playing a Berserker and I finally found a rocket launcher, and now I'm jumping around and blowing up skags. Sniping is fun too, so I'm kinda torn on how I want to build my character.

I've played the game on two systems so far. It runs like a dream at 60-80 fps on my main rig (Phenom II X3 710, 4gb DDR2, Radeon 4850, 1440x900), but it's 10-15 fps on my old system (Core 2 Duo E4700, 2gb DDR2, Radeon X1800GTO, 1280x1024). I think it's seriously video card dependent, if that helps anyone.

I've only played online with two of my friends so far, but one of them said he couldn't get into ANY other online games.

I just finished my first playthrough with some friends, and damn was it fun. That final boss fight didn't disappoint, as it made our party run out of ammo quickly and wonder how to put this sucker down for the count. I know there will be some DLC down the road, and I look forward to a certain claptrap making an appearance.

Got this game a few days ago and been having a lot of fun. Haven't played co-op yet, but I heard that's the best part. Hopefully soon. I'm not a big FPS shooter fan, so I never play a lot of them so I suck pretty bad. If anyone has PC version my GameSpy ID is "Xizid".

I just got back from my friend's house. We played a LAN game and it was great. The in-game voice chat still sucks, so we just yelled at each other across the house. We're doing the same thing again tomorrow, and I'm going to bring my actual PC to play on. Tonight I played on my laptop in 640x400.

I've been playing my berserker a lot, but I was an idiot this morning and forgot to copy my character save to my laptop, so I made a phasewalker tonight. I got to lv12 or so, but I like berserker better.
