Well, he's speaking to a console audience, and uses console games that people can understand. The point was actually quite well made actually. Diablo isn't the only game with a wide ranging and deep loot system. Did you not play too human ? It was many things, but not bad with the loot, that's for sure.
I've been on media black out for this game, regarding co-op if I wanna play with a couple of friends we'll have to make a schedule? cause if I have time to play during certain days and level up faster than them they'll get creamed playing with me later, that's what I can make up from the OP...

I think if you join their games, they'll still have all their low level quests to complete (that you prob will have done already) and you can help them with those.K' Dash said:

Cool, class mods give you titles! "Lvl xx Heavy Gunner", etc.
And there are levels to artifacts, that's cool.

Cool and more importantly where are you getting this stuff and can I join that table.
Or he could essentially Plevel them. XP is shared so taking on his level-equal enemies would mean mondo XP for the little guys, even if they didn't contribute much to the actual killing (but where I come from a headshot's a headshot even if it's with a BB gun).

Fine.
If you have that mod, people will read your character as "level 22 Commando".
there's a guy with the game on the gaming subreddit, you can ask him whatever.

Damn you JustinTV.
And damn you more, lack of self-control.
And also damn the snowballing haters after the viral thread - that's all I'll say in order to keep the post pedigree in this thread of some respectable standing.

Probably stuff like level 28 Ornithologist, level 35 Falconer, level 8 Messenger Pigeon.
Level 15 Old Man that Feeds Bread Crumbs to Seagulls At the Pier Because all his Friends are Dead and His Family Won't Visit Him.

Unfortunately I think I'm going to have to pass on Borderlands for now. Maybe I'll pick it up sometime in the future, but with the way my money situation is right now I think I'm going to have to play it safe.

Do the enemies and environments have much variety? I love the art style, but it seems wasted when every clip, screen I see looks incredibly similar.
Is there much else to this for people who could take or leave loot whoring, and constant stat upgrades?
AI? Story?
I was looking forward to this, but I've been second guessing myself lately.

Anyways, thanks guys.
Guess I'll be purchasing next paycheck. Woot.
Because you could get banned? Other than that, nothing
I'm having a hard time telling if this is a joke post, mocking that other thread.Rustymonke said:
If it isn't, here's your answers: There's dozens of enemy types and the environment is varied enough to keep it from being repetitive. The reason for everything looking similar in the marketing bits and videos released by the public is due in part to Gearbox. Who've chosen to not spoil everything.
If loot whoring doesn't interest you, you may want to stay away. That's very much what will drive you in Borderlands. To get that next gun or artifact. Aside from that, there's solid gun and melee gameplay, strong vehicle combat, lots of quests, and a competitive arena. AI can be clumsy at times, but generally they focus on taking you down with hordes of enemies and high damage attacks. It's not easy by any means.
Can't tell you much about the story, we don't know too much in that dept. You could always try watching some live streams.
Rustymonke, did you play/like Diablo or D2?
Each had fairly interesting quests and a story arc, but ultimately they took a backseat to the loot as an impetus to keep playing, just get that next piece of gear, just make it to one more level so you can equip the crazy weapon you found an hour ago. If that concept doesn't appeal to you at all, Borderlands might be a rent for you- then you can see if the other qualities of the game are enough to draw you in.

Why does amazon still list the PC launch as the 20th?

How many of the live streamers are actually viral marketers, you think? Wondering. No need for an answer.

Considering that the devs openly joined the chat and the only one that was particularly excited was Brandon, who sucked at the game, probably none.ThaiGrocer said:

So does this class mod add 7 skill points to your skill tree? For instance if I have 2 skill points in the "Quick Charge" Skill and use this mod does that actually make my Quick Charge skill at its maximum 5 out of 5 points? I'm assuming that is what the +3 means. Sorry I'm kinda new to this type of game, even though I put a shit ton of hours into Too Human.
ThaiGrocer said:
It kind of depends what you mean.
In a sense all of them are.
But actually none of them are.
Edit: @above, yep you got it, with the caveat that you can't go above 5. So what you'd do is, once you decide to equip that, if it pushes anything over 5, respec and free up the extra points in your skill tree.
