One of my main issues with the game on 360 is the FoV. Now I know why.

Yep. I noticed the FOV instantly on 360, but I've adjusted to it. Still, if they'd pull a Bioshock and fix it that'd be mighty nice.
So penny pinching is now a virtue on GAF?Alex said:
The fact that I am a PC gamer and will have both at some point is fine. For right now... PS3 for me since my desktop is getting sold off.
What I don't like about the game (from the official boards and here) is the glitches and hang ups over a simple steam install game, multiplayer that is requiring some of you guys to check port forwarding? ( :lol seriously?) FOV changes, not working out of the box on some RC1 installs and a UI that is so obviously ported from the 360/PS3 version that really again... the PC version is again... seemingly getting the shaft.
So while you might think your snide elitist comments are for the sake of PC gamers, those comments are exactly why there is so much wrong with PC gamers these days and why developers seeing less and less incentive to stray from consoles.

So i went to talk to tannis and the clap trap never spawned has this happend to anybody else?
EDIT: OMG see Toku's shots above before reading! :lol
Yeah, it takes *.ini tweaks to get things looking proper.
Yeah, Gamespy needs to work on their connection management, it was hit or miss for me.
Yeah, there are interface annoyances that look basically like a halfway point being console and PC.
Yeah, the online voicechat and host-config options are barebones.
But I really can't bring myself to care all that much. I just got out of a 4+ hour all-GAF four player coop game (those guys are still going, too), and I am completely addicted. Borderlands is in my veins. I don't know when the last time a game has hooked me so quickly was. All of the problems are either minor or patchable, and the core of the game is fucking stellar. This might be a rough launch (I seem to have had far fewer issues than most, the worst was a timeout problem trying to directly join God's Beard), but I have no doubt things will okay get better. I recommend this game, and the PC version, to all who are considering it.
I think the moment I realized that I was hooked was the moment I realized I loved two of the weapons I was using (it was roughly the same time I found the "save item card" thing). I didn't expect to find that feeling until the latter half of the game, but at level 12, I have these:
Awesome early-game gun. x4 basically means that only a shot here or there WON'T light bitches on fire.
This thing is awesome, though it's obviously just a sign of things to come as its damage is really pretty weak. But it shoots five rockets in the span of a second, BOOMBOOMBOOMBOOMBOOM. Great for groups in enclosed spaces.
And I JUST got this before quitting (thanks Tyler!):
It'll probably replace the burning repeater... I think I will come to love elemental revolvers. This thing hits HARD.
My Bloodwing is just starting to show signs of Godliness.
Anyway, thanks to God's Beard, Tokubetsu, and Tyler for a great session (did a couple sidequests but mostly just wandering about in areas slightly ahead of our average level- highly recommended btw). I might hook back up with you guys later.
Truly my only real persistent gripe so far: I love FOV 90, and have it hotkeyed, but I'm having to tap it constantly (when I remember) because sprinting does some (cool-looking) FOV effects and then resets it back to 60 when you stop. I haven't heard anyone else mention this, is there some way around this?

So I disabled the intro movies and enabled Vsync, and I have to say I'm starting to appreciate it a little more. The game does look really nice, especially with vsync.
Now I just have to cross my fingers that they'll make multiplayer a little more compatible so I can play with my friends.

Definitely want to change fov back to default. Just feels strange to me after playing most of the day at default. Im guessing its 60, but not sure where 85 came from.
Also mouse scroll wheel works by placing the cursor over the area you want to scroll. Left click functions same as enter.
Also you can right click to compare items.

Those guns are cute, Hawkian.

Yeah yeah. I'm level 12. Come on. One day I'll post sparkly orange uberweapons in here that give you a massage before ripping your face off and shooting at at another enemy.
By the way, I know I posted pics like this before, but still:
I understand that this is the first day launch night of a big release, and it'll probably be just like this for L4D2, and so on and so forth. But I've really never seen anything like this. Some of those people on the list have been on consistently since I posted the other pics, while I was still at work. o.o
Anyway, I really need to get some air now, been sitting at my PC for an ungodly number of hours. Be back!
finally got MP working after two hours by using the 'O' hotkey during SP. I was able to 'join' a friend through that menu without any trouble.
I'm level 13 now and about 4 hours in, it's fun, I dig killing stuff...
but where are these other environments? we were told that we 'hadn't seen anything yet', but there's people that have beaten the game, let me ask you guys: are there any really different environments, or is the whole game a freaking desert? I was/am really looking forward to snow/lava levels, etc.

Question: Can you continue playing through your first playthrough after you've beaten everything and gotten to The Vault (aka will it end like Fallout 3's original way of ending)? Or can I just keep playing? I have some quests I still need to do in Rust Commons for the Achievement and I still have some Claptraps to locate for the Backpack upgrade Achievement.
I'm getting really crappy experience from every area I have available to me. I'm lv26 doing dust common west quest and enemies give me between 10 and 50 exp. Am I somehow over leveled for this area despite not grinding at all? Also, at what level are most people beating the game?

Damn I'm loving this game. Decided to grab this instead of MW2 and I have to say it was a great idea.
