This is an interesting way for the devs to counter the negative hype that's been building up over the last couple weeks. The average person shares a good experience with 4-7 other people. With the internet, the number of people reached could be exponentially higher. Positively influencing 500-1000 concurrent viewers for very little effort probably has a much better result than prohibitive advertising campaigns or even reviews. It's a really powerful technique for stirring up buzz. I wouldn't be surprised if they shipped out the game early hoping the street date would get broken.

Yea makes me wonder why devs dont hand out some games early to streamers. (maybe some do) Reviews, Previews, Trailers, do NOTHING for me anymore. I need to see the gameplay before deciding if I'm buying a game and I can't see most games until they are out and being streamed. This stream just gets me so excited I can't wait to get my hands on it!

FYI, Borderlands was NOT reviewed in the new GI, looking at my copy now.

Damn. Thanks for the heads up. That's disappointing to say the least. They won't have their review in magazine until a month from now. Kind of missing the boat there.

Diablo had difficulty levels, Hell and Nightmare and all that stuff.

I don't think that's what he was talking about? More like Easy, Nomal, Hard? Borderlands has New Game+, which is basically what Diablo did.

Vercingetorix said:
You are really reaching here. That's not the same as scalable difficulty. Diablo had scalable difficulty, Borderlands doesn't.

Playing through New Game + with the enemies scaled to your level isn't necessarily any harder than it was in the first game because you've obviously levelled up at the same rate as the enemies.

Mass Effect for example has New Game + and scalable difficulty, which is in itself proof that they're not the same thing.

Diablo didn't have scalable difficulty, it just goofed around with resistances.

Uggggghhhh this stream is making me happy in the pants region for this game. Hopefully I can find an EB actually breaking the street date here.

Ehhh the AI pattern for skagzilla was decent enough, but that battle dragged on for so long. Again, seems like the only thing I'm not looking forward to is the boss fights.

Those shields were regenerating awfully fast. It looked like he was in more danger from running out of ammo than actually being threatened by that boss.

He kept shooting it on its armored face, rather than in the legs, and when he finally did he realized that the legs were taking about triple the damage. Of course this was after he had used up most of his ammo :lol

I'm out too. Skagzilla fight could of been done so much better. If he had used the shotty it would of been over 5 times as quick.

Have they talked about Borderlands at length on any of the recent Giant Bombcasts?

I stopped listening a while back, but I'll give it another go to hear some Borderlands impressions.

Seen it. While it shows of the gameplay and features, they don't give their impressions or anything.
Thanks.

I felt how they talked about it conveyed impressions pretty well.
Probably they will have a review up soon too.

It looks about how I was expecting based on everything I had heard before. I'm not really in the mood for an FPS/Diablo type, but I'll be sure to look into it when I am.

AGH couldn't resist. The siren stream is SO MUCH BETTER. Barely any commentary, just badass gameplay. This is nuts :'( Somebody get some dirt on Valve's execs so we can get them to unlock it sooner.

No, no, no, it has to be a PISTOL shotgun! For my skills!

Okay you got me I really fucking want that too. 4 equippable weapons = best design decision ever btw

EDIT: I saw that too and they definitely should NOT "fix" it. That was hilariawesome :lol

Edit again: btw... "millennium hawkian?" Two talons up :lol :lol

Okay, just saw some indoor areas (was wondering if there actually were any) and
some enemies like HL2 headcrabs/alien facehuggers
. My hype level has reached critical mass and I must now ban myself from consuming any more borderlands material (well.. maybe except DLC info if it is released) until the game comes out.
