Playing 360 version. Pretty good. I'd consider picking this up on PC with some good friends to play with. I picked up the Hunter and...I've had terrible luck trying to find a good sniper rifle. =/ Plus, most of the quests start to get kind of high and with a shitty rifle, I'm boned at the moment. :lol I'll camp the gun vending machine though.

you know that area you have to go up because there's a hole in the wall and a ramp? jump back on the other side of the hole, there should be a pipe, keep going around and it should be there.

I would, but unfortunately real life is interfering with my game playing timeSpruchy said:

, wasted all of my money in there on health packs from the vending machines. Will grind out a few more levels then go back in there and kick its ass.
Hey, just wanted to say I got the game, and the PS3's online is completely fucked.
To join a game (public) takes about thirty minutes where the system locks up until then.
Your friends don't show up on your friendslist (or a couple of them do, and I deleted one of them before I installed the game... weird)
So basically, any kind of online on PS3 for many users, either public or private is not possible until they release a patch.
They've said that they're looking into it. Hopefully have it fixed within the next week or two.

Another glowing review from Ars Technica.
Wow what a disappointment. I buy the game DAY 1 and the most attractive aspect of it (online 4 player co-op) doesn't even properly work (on PS3). Hooray. Do they actually test games before they release them on PS3? This whole "works on 360 but is buggy on PS3" should never happen.

All the menus remind me of phantasy star online, anyways im a level 16 soldier, think im going to get another character started so my girlfriend can start playing co-op with me. But this game is pretty addicting, I just found a revolver with shock damage that just destroys.

Honestly, if the resolution of the game is a breaking point, then you sir have some issues.
I also did a quick look though and didn't find anything easily.

So much fun.
I'm a level 11 siren right now. Going back to playing now.

That's disappointing.grumble said:
Glad 360 owners are having fun, though. I was a bit worried that with Gearbox's PC history they wouldn't be able to make solid console versions, but it looks like at least one of them turned out well.
Will join the fun when the PC version hits next week.

I dunno, guys. I'm just not feeling this game at all. The enemies AI ranges from somewhat competent to absolutely oblivious to being shot at. The landscape is empty and barren, the missions are boring and unimaginative, the framerate isn't all that great (PS3 version). This game is doing nothing for me, basically. And the online gaming seems to be borked most of the time, too.
It's my first disappointment of the year : /

This is what I hate about PC gaming. I don't even get to start playing the game during the hype, before all the backlash starts about it being an awful game!Freedom = $1.05 said:
Seriously though, we've been having good comments for like 2-3 days. Are you people on this page telling me that not ONE of those comments was from someone who had played the PS3 version in co-op mode without the multiplayer browser taking 30 minutes to load a broken friends list?

YES. I just stopped playing because I wanted to relax a bit. Not since Fallout 3 has a PS3 game given me the headaches this game has.
Mind you, it's ok when you are soloing. It can get really bad when playing with 4 players, though. My second duel was essentially a slideshow, I shit you not.
Zzoram said:
haha well I worked on U2 so its hard to "play" it and not feel like I'm working, and just beat Demon Souls on sunday (my goty possibly). Im messing around with Brutal Legend but it would be nice to see some official notice that the issues will be addressed within the next couple of days, if anything just to keep people from returning their sealed copies for the 360 version or waiting for the PC version.
Kinda surprised this issue wasnt addressed in a day 1 patch. I got friends getting off from work soon and they are in for a evil surprise if online is really performing as bad as described.
Can anyone confirm that online is practically unplayable for both public and private? I should be able to check in a couple hours when my roomate comes home with his copy.

Yup we are in the same boat. Lets hope for the best as I have been looking forward to this game for a while.

Ok so I finished up all the missions from Zed and TK, if I am correct and then picked up a shit ton from the bounty board but the last few I have are too tough and I can't find any more normal based missions. Can anyone point me in the right direction to for more easier missions?
3 hours in, played co-op with a buddy the entire time, 2 Mordecais, shit gets FUCKED UP. We're level 12. I've got that quest sniper, this ridiculously nasty x3 burning sniper (found near the windmills, I don't know if it's random or not), a nice LMG that fucks anything I point it at up (including my friend :lol ) an SMG with no scope and like 12 damage but it is 2x burning and fire damage ain't nothing to fuck with. Bloodwing is also awesome. The only thing is, I don't think I would really enjoy myself nearly as much in this world without buddies to play with. Thankfully I have many, but even with 2 people it isn't as active as I'd like it to be (mostly because I'm used to being in Live parties with 8+ people regardless of the game I'm playing). Looking forward to tons more tomorrow. This game lets you feel like a bad-ass from the beginning and keeps upping it as you level. Masterfully executed.
Also, vehicles suck donkey balls.

The first time I tried going online the game locked up my PS3. The second time, it froze for about 30 seconds then started working.
Edit: 3rd try, locked up my system again. I'm done with this game.

for all we know it's a server issue, and not a client issue...
can anyone with the ps3 version at least comment on the singleplayer experience? graphics? framerate? any tearing?

I've basically decided to switch to PS3 as my 360 is out of warranty now and I don't want to risk being too invested when it dies. Suddenly all these multiplatform problems are affecting me and I miss the simpler days of defaulting to the 360 version and having no problems.

Whoa whoa whoa WHOA. Nine Toes' Clipper is a fucking PISTOL?!?
The thing shoots like a goddamned machine gun and SETS THINGS ON FIRE.
Dear lord almighty but it's true. I ran out of ammo, swapped it for my repeater and was STILL OUT OF AMMO.
And this is Level 7 loot.
Ba.
Na.
Nas.

One fing, though. Split screen is like really ridiculous when it comes to any kind of quest markers or menu stuff. It like literally only shows it on your half of the screen and you have to kind of jigger it around. The HUD in general, even though it's not necessarily crowded, maybe because of the typeface or something but it feels like the most claustrophobic hud ever sometimes.
Still, very fun.

I'm sorry it's happening for you. I even tried looking back like 5-6 pages, and found Jim, one of the mods, posted this:Freedom = $1.05 said:
I'm also almost sure that guy with the little griffin sticking it's tongue out avatar got the PS3 version early, and was asking about people playing co-op with his L10 soldier a few pages ago.
So apparently SOME people are having issues, and maybe it is a server issue (rargh non-dedicated servers), but it certainly is not everyone, or at least, wasn't... At least try keeping your copy for a few days before returning it, maybe?

Really... can anyone help me? I don't know where else to get missions aside from the bounty board and these few missions left are way too hard. I thought I could leave this area but seems the robot says something about DNA.
Is there another quest giver somewhere in this area?
