Awesome, available for preloading on Steam.
Which is especially great since I have Monday off.

idk, you should just know that you're missing out on a ton by playing with yourself. :heh:
It's like the difference between masturbation and sex. Jerking it gets the job done, but who would jerk off over having sex?

as if you were to install the the game normally .SundaySounds said:
I'm excited for this game but I have a couple of questions I'm not seeing clear-cut answers to:
* Are there "quests" in that you have dialog with NPCs or is it only "missions"?
* Is it a completely go anywhere do anything in any order you want open world?
* When in co-op, can I be on on a different area of the world than my friend is or do I have to stay close by?

I should say, it's not available for preloading RIGHT NOW. But it will be before release.
I only mentioned it because some games are not.

the install button is grey, and nothing happens if I try to run it...
Right clicking isn't helping either.

Just played 1,5 hours at a friend's who's trying to make me buy the game for coop. And i was genuinely interested in it, but the test left me perplexed.
I was fascinated by the graphics and concept, but all i did was going to guy x, walk 5 mins towards a blinking point on my compass, kill some guy, go back to guy x, like 6 times. I hope it was just a very long tutorial because the game seemed to start off with good intentions but got very boring real quick. Lack of variety in environments doesn't help. Does it get better ?

So, who is going to have a nickname for all their guns?
Worst song in GTA.
Sounds like you are not a fan of shooters in general.eso76 said:
What you described could easily be any first person shooter.
Talk to Keene or Cortana, travel through level, kill dude. Debrief with the girls yet again.
Talk to generic scientist or security guard, kill dude. Listen to Alex fawn over your silent self.
Talk to my father, kill dudes, purify water.
Either way, it's kind of the same thing.
As for enviroments, they do get mixed up. But don't expect to be dropped into new york city, its a wasteland planet after all.

yeah, the preload isn't available yet. I thought he meant I could preload it NOW.
My favorite is probably when they went to the opera or whatever and roy pretends to be disabled.

y would you pay for other people you don't know to play the game with you, when it has match making?speculawyer said:
ashism said:
To be honest, most games hide the grind a lot better than this one does. With this game, it's very obvious that you're doing fetch quests. That being said, there's nothing wrong with fetch quests as long as you're having fun doing them.
Your examples are kind of flawed, though. In most shooters, the game is constantly progressing, like you never circle back. You always are moving forwards while crazy story and environment shit is happening all around you. That isn't the case in Borderlands, which again is fine for a loot game and something they can improve upon for the sequel.

No it's 33 if you by four copies of the game so it comes out to 132 bucks.Crunched said:
It's not cheaper at the base price, but it is cheaper due to how you pay for it. Microsoft Points go on sale for 20% off like every month here. Hell, there was a 25% sale and a 50% off price error just in the last two weeks here in Canada. Money on the other hand never goes on sale! So Microsoft Points becomes a much better way for paying for downloadable content than money for me. I have $120 that I paid $60 for =PBlizzard said:
I like the integration with both Steam AND Live. Both friends lists at once! I also prefer Live achievements to Steam but that's preference. Since I started this gen building up my persistent profile on Live, I like adding to that rather than the systems I got afterwards.

You realise that the other people contribute to the cost, right?
@grumble: Right, it's way closer to Diablo; talk to NPC, go kill or find item, return to NPC. Or an MMO.
Damn. I just remembered the PC version has an "export item jpg" feature. I cannot fucking wait until this thread starts filling up with shots of epic loot.
Or maybe we should have a separate "trade/lootwhore this kind of item for me and I'll keep my eyes out for yours" thread? Could get massive quickly with all the images.

Ha...I had Demon's Souls a while back from an import. I played about 75% of the way through and get a little frustrated on a few spots. Got Fallout 3 and sold Demon's Souls on eBay for $100. I was down at Gamestop last week to get a new copy of Demon's Souls but they were out of stock. Pre-ordered Dragon Age and bought uncharted instead...saw a poster for Borderlands and now I am contemplating going down to get that too.
Need to get Demon's Souls again...My frustration and knowledge that it was coming to the states and the fact that I could get $100 for it...covinced me to part from it. I am sure that a copy will show it's face soon and I will be $40 richer when it does.
But also...good taste!

You have 3 people paypal you $33.75 and then you go ahead and buy the four-pack and give the other people their copies. You don't have to play with those other 4 people if you don't want.practice02 said:
I've done 4-pack for Borderlands and I'm doing one for Left 4 Dead 2. I'm officially back into PC gaming.

the guy im talking to is saying set this deal up with strangers. If I had four friends who played On a Pc I would do it, but I would not set that deal up with just random people on a message board.Baloonatic said:
