Whoa that's great, hope it still works on BL2
Any word about console parity? I'm gonna double dip the PC version + one console version, but I'm pretty much uninformed about the console version.
Great job.

buy it separately. you can use code more than once.
Awesome thanks!
Playing through the original again this weekend, it occurs to me that Accuracy is a really hard to get stat in Borderlands 2. It's an interesting stat in the first one in that it's one of the only ones that doesn't just scale some part of the experience - high +accuracy makes inaccurate guns like SMGs more appealing relative to accurate guns like Sniper Rifles. There aren't even many skills with accuracy bonuses in the new one.
I'm thinking this means that the overall feeling of using different types of guns (barring wonky modifiers on the weapons themselves) isn't going to change very much over the course of the game, such that SMGs are always inaccurate at long ranges and Sniper Rifles are always the obvious weapon for long-distance shooting. Strikes me as a good thing.

What I don't get is what makes up accuracy. Does it include recoil?
Recoil + spread

Oh. ok. Also of alot times it felt like accuracy didn't matter. Just cuz recoil seems the same everywhere.
It mattered quite a bit for trying to snipe with Combat Rifles or SMGs. With high (30+) weapon proficiency, a 90 rating on the gun card was sufficient to get critical hits from very far away. You're not holding down the trigger; you're burst-firing.
Pick the one where you have the most friends, especially IRL friends.
It's more noticeable in the SMGs and shotguns. The other guns aren't really that inaccurate.

Damn, this has me seriously rethinking my 360 copy. Maybe I should just double dip?
They're given out at special events and the like. I don't think there's supposed to be any way to find one in-game.
I did.
Going to be my exact post. You seriously can't beat ~45% off on launch. Get one to play with your buds and one for your single player games.

It is in this thread about 15 times. It is a general purpose GMG code, not one specifically for b2 or the season pass.

Oh, I thought that it was specifically for the BL2 base game. Thanks!
Depends on why you didn't like the first one, really.
Man, why is GMG such a goddamn trainwreck in terms of paying for shit.

Pre-loaded on steam, total for the game and the season pass was around 35€ thanks to GMG discount and steam putting up the wrong price when they started to sell the season pass.
Now I just need to finish up the first game, should have the main stuff done by Friday having just killed

Been looking at this for like 10 minutes now. Went ahead and tried registering another card since that's what worked when Paypal wouldn't for getting BL2, but getting this Season Pass has proved imposisble. WTF GMG.
Well, the money is out of the account, but I'm still at this screen. buuuuh
I think at 12 midnight according to the steam page.
That said, are we allowed to talk about vpn on Gaf?

Wow, no idea this existed. Hopefully the ps version isnt garbage. The main promblem in bl was the HORRENDOUS loadtimes. Hopefully thats fixed.
Complex Shadow
Cudi Lame
wouldn't that make it like 4 am est?
Definitively, it's the crack of 12est on Monday 'night' (technically very early Tuesday morning) according to the steam page.
Oh yeah, I hear you. This was the worst thing about the entire game. If you used the game chat, it would stutter and become useless during loading as well, so everyone just sat there bored for 40 seconds until "Oops! I forgot something in the last map!" 40 more seconds of loading x2. URGH. That's why I double dipped. Hopefully the PS3 install fixes this issue. (can't say about the 360 version)

It unlocks at 12 AM Tuesday EST. The second it becomes Tuesday in the US the game will be available.
