Yeah maxed Trespass is one of the sickest skills I've ever seen, I'm just not rolling a sniper.
Ambiient is currently rocking Amish Paradise and thus beats all others.
Also that auto-double-barreled shotty is making me drool.
EDIT: Thank you Hazaro! And you managed to do it without being a dick.
The videos sorta look like the console version run at 60fps.
Anyone know?
Any word on 360/PS3 superiority? I have more friends on my PS3 list than my 360 who are into this game. I'm also already in on a Steam 4 pack for PC.
Just wonderin about any console specifics. I know Gearbox hasn't had the best luck with the PS3 hardware (BIA:HH anyone?)

Have you seen the coop thread? Plenty of folk to loot with on all systems:

I cancelled my pre-order to MW2, so it's Borderlands and L4D2 for this winter.

I went through Blur, then Alpha Protocol...and while I thought I'd pick up Borderlands down the track, auspiciously those two got shifted - and for the better, I reckon. Bring on Borderlands.
EDIT: While I'm thinking about, I want to pose a question. I'm getting the US version of Borderlands on PS3, simply because it's coming from Play-Asia. Now, I've got an Australian PSN account. When the DLC becomes available, do you think there would be any problem in using the US version with the Australian DLC? I only bring this up because I can't use the Killzone 2 DLC from the Aussie PSN with my Japanese KZ2 version.
Any thoughts, gents?

So basically Deploy is useless. Sigh...Hazaro said:
New spec for anybody that was copying me earlier.
Passive abilities:
+60% magazine size
+15% weapon damage
+04 second turret cooldown per 2 seconds of fire
Active abilities(activates when killing an enemy):
+30% fire rate
+75% recoil reduction
+04% shield restoration per second
+06% grenade damage
+03 grenades generated per minute
Turret abilities:
+35% damage
+05 shots fired per burst
+05 ammo regeneration rate for nearby players
+05% health regeneration per second for nearby players
Rocket fired every 8 seconds
How is it useless? With it maxed you only have to hit 50 seconds; maxed deploy and refire means you could spawn one every 10 seconds in a heated battle, right?
Nonetheless I shall be frequently retreating to your turret for mad heals 'n ammo.
Also
It has seemed obvious to me since I first beat Diablo, 11 years ago. Just took that long for a decent company to put one together :'(

It's only useful in conjunction with Refire, and that's a waste of extra points that could go to better skills, especially how little difference it makes. Level 4 Refire(down to 20 seconds) is enough for me If there's no way to eliminate cooldown. It also makes it easier to focus on an all-around skill path early on if I'm not rushing to hit deploy by 16.

Oops, stick that baby in Guided Missile.
God's Beard said:
...why does that sound so suggestive?
GAF must be getting to me.
EDIT: On a serious note, that is so worth it. Another point in guided missile only brings it down to 7 seconds, so if you aren't maxing it just sticking with 1 point is all you need.
I'm not sure if 50 seconds versus 100 seconds of unassisted cooldown is such a negligible difference, but you're right that refire is probably a better way to spend your cash if you're gonna be killing things. Though that did just make me think- it's probably worthwhile to max if you go full medic, because refire won't be activated as much and your turret will be like a mobile safe spot/healing station. Also I just realized grenadier lets you regenerate grenades. Roland is boom in a box.

Yeah, I'm really suprised more people haven't been adding a point or two in grenadier. It's such a huge advantage. Do any of the other classes have grenade regen?
This guy is getting pretty far -- newer, more civilized areas. Spoilers to be sure.

God's Beard -- sorry for busting your balls. Enjoy the pre-game discussion. Watching other people play while I wait has put me in a bad mood of late.

I am weak willed but am at least limiting myself only to early stage streams.
But:
Poetic and my thoughts exactly. Can't believe stores broke the street date for this in such a widespread way nor that the PC launch is still 10 days from now

I have about 20 hours into the game. 10 hours with Brick and 10 hours with Mordaci. Shoot me some questions if you want.
This is easily my GOTY.

We don' take kindly te your kinda folk 'round here.
Seriously though, keep watching the live streams to get more of a taste. It's finding that next awesome gun and leveling up your skills. Similar to any loot game, except the grind here is much more action-packed.
I watched a couple of videos tonight and I'm really tempted to try to get in on a Steam 4-pack. 8GB download, but no SecuROM.Decado said:
My concerns, which maybe some of you can help with:
1. How did people get this game so early? I haven't been following the news. Are the streams people pirating it, or just getting it from stores?
2. It's free to play online for co-op, on PC, as I understand. But is it going to be the type of game where there's no modding and custom maps, and the main game is like 6 hours, and then most of the replay value comes from buying a bunch of different DLC packs? I'd prefer not to buy DLC.
3. For that matter, how long is the game, and is there any multiplayer to provide replay value?
Blizzard said:
Store near my house had the console versions. 2K shipped it on Thursday to retailers it looks like.
After playing for nearly 6 hours or so, this is easily one of my favorite games so far this year. The gun audio is so good, it makes dropping enemies satisfying as hell.

Nope. Sorry. Silver Account.
Hawkian said:
Watching the GameCocks right now. I'll check out the options after the game.
sh4mike said:
1. Depends...if you put points towards his Berserk skill, hes a freak. Otherwise his standard melee attacks do quite a bit more damage than Mordaci's
2. I think so. Brick was noticeably slower while carrying a rocket launcher.
3. I made Brick into a tank. So when I left off with him he had close to 600 health. Right now my Mordaci is around 220 with some shield boosts.
Prezhulio said:
Both characters around level 17. I've done quite a few side missions and farmed alot of skags
Wallach said:
If you put points towards Brick berserk skill, you could defiantly play primarily with melee. Maybe not early on but I didnt put many points toward berserk.
Also, I DID NOT PIRATE THIS GAME. Playing on 360 final retail disc. Local Meijer broke the street date.

Gah, Play-Asia still has it marked as "Oct, 2009", so it's not in stock yet.
Thanks. I'll keep waiting to see if anyone weighs in on game length, and whether buying DLC will be a focus for replay, or whether co-op/multiplayer/modding will be options.Phthisis said:
And if I end up getting it, I'll want to hunt for people for the $34 PC deal. Is the co-op thread the best place to do that?
Blizzard said:
I don't know if you played Diablo multiplayer, but much of the replay value came not from partaking of the main quest or replaying it at a higher difficultly (though those were options and are again in Borderlands), but from doing "loot runs" of bosses or areas that are known to have particuarly good drops- in doing so leveling up your character and coming closer to finding that next piece of epic gear for your character. This, I imagine, will keep me occupied during and probably long after I beat the main quests (at least the first time).
You can also duel anytime anywhere in the world (complete with instant battledome), and there is also from what I hear somewhat organized competitive multiplayer in arenas that require all participants to be decently high levels.
Hey Snug, what is your #1 favorite weapon so far?
I'm not sure about modding and custom maps, but one playthrough won't be enough to level up to 50. Once you finish it, there's a new game+ mode with leveled up enemies. I believe 120 hours is the number being thrown around for two full playthroughs and completing all the side quests.Blizzard said:
The DLC is probably there for people that really enjoy it and want more.
Have to post it again -- getting pretty far here. Music has an epic feel with lovely chanting.

Is the game meant to be played in coop, because it looks pretty cool but im not a big online player.
dreamer3kx said:
I played both local co-op and single player today. I like them both. Local co-op is definitely not ideal as the screen is too small for the menus (meaning you have to navigate them with the right stick to see what the hell you're doing). Single-player has been a blast so far.
Game reminds me of some weird bastard love child of Fallout 3 and BioShock.
