Finally got my key from GMG so pre-loading now on STEAM.

No key for the Season Pass form GMG, not sure if they are even getting keys now for that or closer to the launch of the first pack

 

[Coalition-PezRadar]

gearbox employee. was confused for a second cause i thought that was just a list of people who'd preordered and about a quarter of my friends list already owns the game

That's Shaylyn!

 

[AndyD]

Mine says Pre-order ROW too, it was a gift copy from someone though

Mine says:
Borderlands 2 Pre-Order Gift

 

[ink4n3]

are there any gameplay videos of the console version? really worried about the framerate on consoles after watching the gb quicklook.

 

[Punkroses]

GMG just updated this on their fb. All users who bought Borderlands 2 should now have a key. You can check by logging in and looking on your keys Page in your account.

Tons. And the framerate looks as solid as it did in the first game.

 

[Raxus]

I wonder if they will be playing on a retail copy on the livestream. Most videos I have watched have been demo versions of the game where everyone had unlimited ammo.

 

[gotee12]

Rec'd my GMG key, though I didn't get an email notification. Also my key registered as "Borderlands 2 Game and Premier Club DLC WW"...

 

[theytookourjobz]

Anybody planning on using a 360 controller for the PC version? I'm I crazy? Should I just get the 360 version?

I am. Big Picture Mode. 7.1

 

[Xanathus]

It seems Steam buyers from some European countries are getting a message on the store page saying they will receive a Russian version of the game which won't be multiplayer compatible with other versions, among other problems. This is especially fucked up because Russian isn't even a common language in some of these countries.

Thanks for that, still no email but it was waiting in the key section.

Preloading now!

 

[jediyoshi]

That's Shaylyn!

super talented artist! loved her tf2 stuff. wasn't surprised learning gearbox scooped her up.

 

[TomcatTheLion]

Preloaded and ready to go!

Now I just have to decide if I'm going to move it over to my SSD once it is officially released.

 

[mug]

Ok I received the code for the BL2 steam version, however I didn't receive anything for the Season Pass... Is that something that shows up later?

 

[ChosenPredator]

definitely gonna stay away from that stream like the plague want it to be fresh for me, so far barely watched anything to do with this game.

 

[Delusibeta]

Probably. It's not Green Man's top priority, since it's going to be at the very least another month before the first DLC is released, so they have plenty of time to get Season Pass keys out, unlike the base game which is released Tuesday in North America.

 

[Geoff9920]

Still waiting for my key from Amazon. Hopefully they get it to me before Tuesday...

 

[Complex Shadow]

Finally got my key. But nothing was emailed to me.

 

[Hindle]

I hope Shopto ship this for Thursday, they used to always get games to you the day before they came out, they seem to have stopped it though.

Question

For the PC, do I have to re install BL1 to get the Veteran bonus, or will the Steam Cloud do that for me?

my documents -> my games -> borderlands -> save data.


since BL1 didn't have cloud saves.

 

[enzo_gt]

Wait there's two?

Game Informer podcast with Andrew Burch a few pages ago.

Oh snap forgot about that, thanks.

(Also, you sure BL1 doesn't support cloud? I thought they added it a few months back)

 

[keeblerdrow]

I looked back a couple pages and didn't see anything. Is this normal for Greenman Gaming pre-orders for the game? This is the first time I've ordered from them. It's a different name and has a really limited amount of community features attached to the title.

 

[injurai]

I'm sure I'm a bit late for the gaf giveaways but if any one has a copy of BL2 floating around I'd gladly take a copy.

 

[Ravensmash]

I got NHL 13 on thursday (it dispatched Wednesday), and recent preorders have been the same.

I'd say there's a high chance that you could get it early.

 

[Complex Shadow]

i am not 100% sure but i am don't wanna test it right now =P

try restarting steam?

Question: does a class mod count towards the total points in a skill tree? Say if I need 3 points to unlock an ability I need, does having a +3 mod to something in that skill tree give me enough points to reach it?

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

Glad everyone got their keys from GMG.

Happy shootin', lootin' and huntin'.

 

[Complex Shadow]

class mod would give you 3 points as long as you have 1 point in that skill. and if youve maxed that skill it will add 3 more giving you 8 in total.

Oh right, I already listened to that. My mind is a blur right now.

(Also, you sure BL1 doesn't support cloud? I thought they added it a few months back)

BL1 DOES support cloud, but it's very wonky because of how badly it was implemented. I don't think it's Steam's fault, it's Borderlands, I've quit out of single-player games and then Gamespy told me I lost connection to server? Bam, all my progress was gone. >>

 

[XeroSauce]

edit: sorry double

 

[kingofthedead45]

class mod would give you 3 points as long as you have 1 point in that skill. and if youve maxed that skill it will add 3 more giving you 8 in total.

But you have to have atleast one point in that skill? Can't be a skill that you haven't touched? It won't "give" you that skill?

 

[GotchaForce]

class mod would give you 3 points as long as you have 1 point in that skill. and if youve maxed that skill it will add 3 more giving you 8 in total.

Right, I guess what I mean is I get it'll count as stacking, but will it make my skill tree reach farther down? You have to put in 5 points to unlock the next skill, will a class mod count as adding towards unlocking skills?

 

[Clott]

When I click on "buy now" on GMG nothing happens, so frustrating!

I really wanna get in on the deal, can anyone else try and see if they meet the same result?

 

[Terbinator]

What do you get for being a BL1 veteran?

Is this your first time ordering from them? If so, did you activate your account via the email they sent you?

What do you get for being a BL1 veteran?

"Vault Veterans" will receive "exclusive character customization elements," namely character heads and skins (pictured above). These items are unlocked when save data from the original game is detected. The promo applies to all platforms: PC, PS3, and Xbox 360.

Does the GMG 25% off coupon work for the Season Pass?

Got mine. Thx for pointing it out. Pre-loading is not much of an issue on my 75/35 FIOS connection though.

i don't think so.

Holy shit, Tom (2k) just said on the stream it will be a 6 hours live stream.

Yeah expect lots of spoilers :/

depends on how fast they play lol. hope they get 4 players to beef up the difficulty.

 

[XeroSauce]

Doesn't seem like it, but don't quote me on that. It WAS like that in BL1 as far as I can remember, but I think that they changed it.

Right, I guess what I mean is I get it'll count as stacking, but will it make my skill tree reach farther down? You have to put in 5 points to unlock the next skill, will a class mod count as adding towards unlocking skills?

Nah, it's just a bonus to a particular skill, it doesn't add to your tree.

I hope they don't just show the game. Tom said lots and lots of giveaways and special guests on the stream.
