You have a point, I'm gonna love this game regardless. It's just more of a curiosity as giantbomb is the only gaming site I follow.

Next thing you know... those minutes turn into hours.
Yes. You get the DLC class for free.
That plus the fact that's he's so incredibly jaded that he finds negative in everything he tries no matter what the game is.

If you want the extra character then yes. If not, the rest of the stuff wont matter much at all.
But he loves him some Borderlands.

Sorry if this has been answered many times but do you get any of the preorder bonus things when you buy it off PSN day 1?

I hope so...
It always kind of bothered me that people like to go around calling things BROKEN GAMES because of some weird animation glitches or whatever. like Darksiders 2 for example.
I have seen some bugs in borderlands 2 streams like enemies getting stuck (specifically the flying thing in the gamestop arena). I don't give a shit about that kind of stuff, it happens.
I guess not everybody has experienced stuff like fallout 2's car, baldur's gate 2's Jaheira romance, or The Witcher before it got any patches. Some flying mammoths in Skyrim are nothing in comparison.

Reviewers shouldn't give bugs a pass if they affected their experience. Jeff even said as much in last week's podcast - that he "fucking loved that game [Borderlands]" (does that sound "incredibly jaded") but it had a myriad of issues that he couldn't ignore.

probably bigger. ps3 version on US is like over 5GB.
Yeah, Gaige is the only thing that matters. The rest is just cosmetic stuff and a guaranteed purple gun(s).

wow thats some bullshit... I guess I'd be saving $23 by going through GMG and getting those bonuses... can't help but feel the GOTY version will be much more worth it.

That's a perfectly valid point and reviewers should mention any bugs they encounter when playing a game, but there are some things I feel Jeff specifically is really sensitive to that a lot of other people aren't. Everybody is like that though, I for example can't accept texture pop in if I see it ever occur in a game there's a pretty good chance every time anybody brings that game up i will mention it.

5 hour mark. ALMOST. ALMOST. ALMOST. ALMOST. ALMOST. ALMOST. ALMOST.

The GOTY edition will probably retail for $59.99 whenever it comes out, but you could've got the Season Pass and Borderlands 2 (plus pre-order bonuses) for less than that on GMG.
But say the overall experience is out shines by those glitches does it really matter that those glitches exist?
There were only two serious bugs I heard about but I would think you would have to do something really silly to trigger them.

It does matter, as they're worth pointing out if you're a reviewer, since it's their job to point those things out to the viewers and prospective players of the game.
Yes.
But clearly it didn't affect there experience if they had a favorable one.

Err sorry, what? If the glitches outshine the experience in places, yes, it does really matter. If the overall experience outshines the glitches, they're still worth mentioning. Anything that has an effect on the experience is worth mentioning.
But it could have been better. A game can have a bug and get a phenomenal score, but the review should still read less favorably than it would for the same game without the bug.

Meh, still bouncing around which character to play first! So difficult.
I am shocked no review sites did a separate review for this game. Poor PS3 players got an unplayable game.

Well, yeah. GOTY editions are always a better deal. I waited 2 years to buy Fallout: New Vegas GOTY edition (Steam sale for like $25).
All that matters is whether you feel like it will be worth it to pay full price to play it now and buy the DLC as it comes out, or buy it a year or two from now with all DLC at a discounted price.
I have started to wait on many games to get them at a cheaper price, and my gaming budget dropped quite a lot while still getting the same number of games. However, there are still games that I either want day 1, or developers I want to support by paying full price.
I waited for the GOTY edition of Borderlands 1 and it was one of the few games I regretted getting so late. Since I loved the first one so much and (most of) its DLC, I have already pre-ordered the sequel (at a great price) and I'll probably be picking up all the DLC for it too.

Exactly. Always always always mention things (bugs, UI design, whatever) that affect the overall experience. You can still adore a game and acknowledge that it has problems.

I still find it funny that IGN did another review for Bayonetta for PS3 which, in comparison, looks downright oscar worthy to recent PS3 ports.

I find it hard to care what he did or didn't like to be honest. He's so incredibly jaded 99 percent of the time that I can't take anything he says seriously. I'm so out of touch with what he likes. He gave Saints Row The Third GOTY. I find my opinion of games more closely matches up to the guy on youtube that reviews games for ClassicGamingReview. I think his name is Mark.
I thought I'd posted this already but can't find it so must not have.
I was jut wondering if anyone's amazon preorder has shipped yet or changed status?
Also I'm from Australia and I noticed they changed from sending the game to Australia to now I Oy shipping it to US addresses, I will still get my copy that I ordered in February yes?

My amazon order shipped yesterday. Received the promo codes an hour ago.
If they do yes, but IF we are talking about some little thing I don't see a problem in worrying over something that in all likelihood will be patched out. Skyrim is a broken game and should be verbally flogged. Something like SR3, meh gets a pass.
Oh wow might shoot an email because like I said it still says not yet shipped and I ordered in February.

Not gonna be able to play until 12:10-12:20am anyways because of steam server unlocking issues.

Don't know where you're at, but check Best Buy. Although limited, they're doing some midnight openings.
Still got time to join the PC master race!

Get up there and pre order first before they close if you switch. You get a $20 reward zone certificate
Ya see this is why I want to pull the trigger. I've been trying to be frugal with college and textbooks and stuff. But I want this game, and if I pre-order all that stuff it will probably be more worth it to be honest... hmm.

Most of my pre-orders from Amazon never ship until the day before. It was unusual to get the notice this early, and to get the promo codes so early as well. I wouldn't worry if I were you. It's most likely already shipped but they haven't updated your account yet. Typically I get the shipping notice the night prior despite it being shipped much earlier in the day.

It is what I use too, works wonderfully and allows you to use real headphones instead of crappy ones.
