I'm getting all giddy over the colors. Those screens are beautiful.

Tzz, tzz Zer0's right hand in those screens.

Who can blame him.
 
PC people really win on this one

+ Best version
+ Cheapest version
+ Cheapest season pass

Paid less than $60 for both the game and season pass...can't beat that!

Hoping I'll be able to have a longer haired Maya, I like my women with long hair. Even shoulder length or a ponytail/braid would be an improvement...

Yup, same. I have really long hair myself so I'm a big fan of it. :D

I can understand if they don't add it (has to move convincingly, etc.), but I'll be happy if there's something awesome looking anyway.

Wish my friends were PC people :( I'm working on preaching the gospel, but the biggest gamer of the bunch just invested in a new computer with only intel integrated graphics :( At least he is using the steam account I made for him (and gifted it with a few humble bundles) in big picture mode now. Plus, I think I'm going to have a ton of issues playing the game with a pad on the 360... shame I can't use my KBM on the 360 to get the best controls and still be able to play with my friends :(

:( Stupid friends.

I'm in the same boat.
 
I'm hoping I will have a decent experience with my GTX 295. I'm running an i7 with 12GB of DDR3 and my res will be 1920x1080. I really want to play with the PHYSX effects on medium at least. I don't feel like dropping $500 for a new card right now.

If you have another PCI-E slot you could pick up an older card for like 30 - 50 bucks and use it as a dedicated physx card. Or you could go 660/670. I have seen 670 as low as 338 in the last couple weeks.
 
Ugh, I did something stupid. I double dipped and I can't really justify it considering I also have TL 2 and Guild Wars 2 to play on top of a mountain of other games. The last few months I've gone a little crazy with game purchases. I was quite actually responsible in the past but suddenly I want everything again.

I think a cheap card would create a bottleneck for PHYSX. I'll try just the gtx 295 and if I am not happy I will probably get a 680.

Here's the Gunzerker build I'm thinking of. The plan is to use dual shotguns and run really fast. I'll reconsider and go deep Brawn if:

a)No Kill like Overkill sucks for shotguns - if it only counts the final pellet shot hit towards 'excess damage' then it'd be awful for this build. Hoping they took this into consideration though.

b)Myself or my co-op partner die a lot and I need the taunt/health regen. I think this is unlikely but you never know. I played Siren in the first game and I think that all you really need for survivability is a skill that lets you get out of harm's way really fast, and 70% run speed + a 50% heal seems like it'd do the trick.

Other than that I really like the look of the Gunlust tree and think it'd be a fun playstyle. Constantly switching guns, carrying a sniper rifle/rocket launcher for strategic use of Money Shot + All I Need is One, and not relying too heavily on Gunzerking while still making liberal use of it sounds like it'd work for me.
