Oh shit, you guys hurt his feelings.
Well, seems like most of the talk over the last few pages is about voice chat (ahem), ini fixes, etc., which all have basically no value to a console player._tetsuo_ said:
Of course, that's not to say we wouldn't be talking about the gameplay more if somebody introduced a topic.
The server browser thing (not that I really want to play public games) has a weird fix that seems to work from the Gearbox forums: highlight it with the mouse and press enter a bunch of times.
I've seen plenty of talk about the game on the last two pages, even some screenshots. The PC version JUST came out. Sheesh, let people get acclimated.

So, I found an orange Combat Rifle last night. No elemental attached, and each individual bullet is kinda weak (67-70), but it has 104 in the clip, without buffs like Overload.
It's so satisfying to fire with total impunity. :lol

Daze on the bird is really good for bosses.. just a fyi.
Just took on
this morning as a level 16. Between my Epic revolver, sniper rifle and bloodwing.... he lasted maybe 2 mins.
Just finished that quest and now I'm debating on whether or not I want to do the other quests around the area or not.
I think I will just to stretch the game out a bit and find more phat lewts.

The good parts of Fallout 3, cruising around a post-apoc world killing bandits and grabbing tons of loot.HBP said:
The only bad part it retains is the crap main storyline. The art direction, looting system, diversity of weapons, etc. are all much better.
Character progression isn't as deep and the game isn't as open ended or filled with as many side quests, but its still fun.
Imagine Halo sized game maps chained together (and you can backtrack) with towns serving as hubs, with similar FPS gameplay to Halo (big floaty jumps and the like). Then add a leveling system about as complex as Bioshock, and a procedural weapons generating system that matches up with the average PC hack n' loot (Diablo style games). Put on a cel-shaded graphics engine and a post-apoc setting more akin to The Road Warrior than Fallout (open deserts with vehicular combat).
That is Borderlands in a nutshell, and it is more than the sum of its parts in my opinion.

more like fallout three light in the quest aspect of it, but COD4 shooting and a loot system that makes up for crappy quests. the better way of thinking of it is hellgate london, but good.HBP said:

I mean his shield was easy to break down with my thunder hawk but the space was so confined that I had issues manuevering and dodging him.

The big thing is that all the combat is up to your skill, and doesn't rely on dice rolls at all (the way it should be!) All your skills buff your raw ability. Nothing you DO is based on stats. Stats merely augment what you do.
Workaround for FOV resetting itself? Bind it to the forward key.
From the official forums PC Tweaks thread:
Bindings=(Name="E",Command="MoveForward | Axis aGas Speed=+1.0 | FOV 90",Control=False,Shift=False,Alt=False,LeftTrigge r=False,RightTrigger=False,bIgnoreCtrl=False,bIgno reShift=False,bIgnoreAlt=False)

Yeah, guys, I can barely hold back the tears.PedroLumpy said:
It's not a big deal, but I guess I came off like a bitch in that post. I'm just saying that in a perfect world, we'd have separate threads for console/PC for these types of games since most of the discussion is about technical stuff for the PC version or whatever.
Firestorm said:
I posted the difference a couple pages back, or go to my post history should be there.
This game is so addictive, was playing with a full party yesterday and it was amazing, Brick is great I wonder why people don't play him more often. Is there a safe type thing where I can store items I can't use yet but want to keep for later? I hate having only about 5-6 slots because I'm carrying things I'm saving for later levels.
Btw anyone wanna play now :lol ?
garath said:
...that may have been the most brilliant thing I have ever heard anyone suggest about anything ever.
The way you have there won't bind it to the "e" key though? Don't I want it to be W?
From work I applied this tweak and a couple others, and bought a Razer gaming mouse off a coworker (had it lying in his desk, wtf) for $15, I am ready to game tonight.
This sounds like something I will have trouble with if I'm concentrating on sniping and accuracy. Level 10 and I haven't put any points into anything but that far left column on my hunter.TurtleSnatcher said:was so hard for me.. Not sure why..Sledge

Guess I'll have to make sure I'm playing co-op for that mission?

If you really are having trouble you can just
go back outside towards the vending machines.The door will open up for a few seconds each time giving you enough time to pop in a few head shot crits if you are good enough. Even if he does hit you, you can simply sit there and recharge while the doors are down. Easy.

Should change the title to more BUGS than the population of the Netherlands by the state of affairs on the game's official forums.
What happened Gearbox?

Little help, GAF.
I was going to hold off on getting this until I'd rented it, got more of a feel for whether or not it's my thing, but I've got a friend coming over a few times over the next few weeks and we were looking to play a few things co-op so I was thinking I might pick it up in the Best Buy sale. She's not at all a hardcore gamer, though. I mean, she really enjoyed playing Gears and a few other shooters, but she won't be very into the RPG customization aspects, I think. (Can't stand turn-based combat, for instance.) How big of a part does that play in enjoyment?

It's nothing remotely like turn based rpg. It's a straight up shooter where you manage what guns you have, and a few bonuses through skill trees that couldn't be easier to manage. If she liked gears I would wager heavily that she'll enjoy this.
stupei said:
You can, for the most part, ignore the RPG aspects and play it like any other shooter. I play co-op shooters with the girlfriend, but she couldn't care less about the RPG stuff, so I'll be building a 2nd character thats already got some good upgrades and gear so she doesn't have to do any of that stuff.

Hey look another TheSeks post trolling the developer and the game.TheSeks said:
Great..
*Goes on to read the rest of the thread*
TurtleSnatcher said:
At least give him credit for beating the game, from what I've seen of his posts he actually played through the game and gave it a chance, you can't say that about most of the people accused of trolling around here. I'm loving Borderlands so far, but I can't deny that it has a lot of bugs, especially considering that it was delayed for a significant amount of time.
I could be wrong, but it seems to be split somewhat evenly between 360 and PS3, I'm a fellow PS3 player so you're not alone.
Snuggler said:
Same for me. Honestly, it's an awesome game, but yesterday I was sniping over the edge of a cliff. The enemy AI isn't great so I figured "oh, it's stuck below me and can't find the path up". So I dropped my scope for a second, and BAM! The little thing about 100 feet directly below me pounced up at me and hit me in the face.
Granted, he was still weak and did very little damage. But man, it scared the crap out of me for a second, haha. Did NOT expect it.
Edit: So should I take the lack of a prior response to mean that no one on GAF plays the PS3 version? Sad is me...
Aye, Seks is an odd case:

I've been basically just using SMGs and Sniper Rifles so far (as a Hunter). Anybody have a recommendation for a different setup, or should this be fine?
No kidding. Storage units should be a requirement for all loot games.Dead said:was a total pushover. I had more trouble with the Moe skag :lolSledge
I wish there was some kind of storage unit in the game. I hate getting rid of some particular guns. Even though ill never use them again I still like hoarding them
