I'm enjoying this game solo more and more.

All my buddies I've played with spend an inordinate amount of time sitting in their skill tree menu and vendor windows after every time I fast travel. It was getting on my nerves last night while I was questing between
Rust Commons West, RC East, and New Heaven.
After fast traveling, they would run up to the vendors and I'd have to wait a minute extra each time for them do whatever the hell they were doing, then I'd fast travel again and they'd do the exact same thing!

Co-op definitely slows you down in this game, and I've actually found all my best weapons playing solo. I think I'm gonna keep going solo until 50...

Yeah - that Zombie DLC looks hot - can't wait to punch Frankensteins in the face.

What I did was get them both very angry with me so they'd start chasing me. Then I ran them into a nearby bandit camp, where the bandits and the skags started to shoot each other. I sat off to the one side and unloaded clips into the monsters' backsides until they died. I only got hit a couple of times.

But yeah, this game is very level dependent. If I go to an area and shoot people, I'll find that my weapons are doing shit damage, but I level up twice and go back and I'm crushing people with huge damage.

He hee, my combat rifle's doing over 1k a three shot burst, and I'm only level 25!

I was heading back from a mission and had zero ammo left when I hit those two.

I kept using Bloodwing on the fire spewing one, hitting him with my melee attack every so often and running for it around a big rock whenever he'd start the fire attack. Occasionally killing smaller enemies would give me ammo for a few shots, but the majority of damage was done by Bloodwing. Once the fire one died, it gave me enough ammo to kill the other - which did almost no damage to me with it's attack. It took it four or five shots to even get my shield down.

I do kind of hope that they have a more diablo 2 style new game + progression though. I know they have this up to a point, but capping your level half way through the new game + makes continuing kind of pointless.

wxRes and wxRC are the directories that hold resource files for the Unreal Editor. Mirror's Edge didn't come with them, and we added them by using the Unreal Tournament 3 files. America's Army 3 came with them (I forget if the AA3 editor actually works though)...it seems weird they would include them if the editor is totally disabled, but I still can't imagine they would leave it possible for people to run the editor in a game like this. :)

I see some people complaining about ammo drops, but I played 4-player co-op last night with two soldiers in the group and it was never a problem since ammo regens when standing in the turret circle and they both had the artifact that regens ammo just for being in a group with them.
Click to expand...

I was playing with 3 soldiers and ammo was a huge issue. Their turrets appeared to heal. If they did regen my ammo, I was going through it faster than they could regen it.

I got the last copy at K-mart (decided to use my gift card and canceled my amazon order). This Kmart is very old (been around since I was knee high) and hardly sees any foot traffic. I was the only customer that I saw in the whole place. I'm suprised they haven't tore it down yet.

Anyways, I can't believe that K-mart sold out 2 days after release. I only go there for clearance games on ocassion and I'm usually either the only person there or I see maybe one other customer tops.

Does the sound drop out for anyone else on the PS3 version> I get sound hitches, and game hitches too. It doesn't sound like everyone is experiencing this stuff. Like, when the birds came out there was all sorts of audio skipping/stutter.

I am using a 1080p TV with surround. I'm not sure if either of these are taxing the performance. The surround might be at fault for the hitching and audio mix issues.

Bought this game due to the testimonials here on GAF.

FPS + Loot Whoring + skill trees + char leveling....? And it works? With coop?

Damn..stayed up to 2 am last night playing this. Not something I do during the work week. I think I spend most of my time in the menu looking at weapon comparisons more than playing.

Heh..and I'm only level 7 soldier right now.

This sucks, because I just started Batman AA after Beating Uncharted 2...and Deadspace is still in the shrink wrap because I lost time playing Fallout 3.

You have so many happy moments ahead of you! I wish I could play Batman AA and Dead Space again for the first time. Such excellent single-player experiences.

Nah, the competitive online is too hardcore for my palette. I will play the single-player as I did with COD4 but not in a rush to do so.

Exactly the same for me. One of the reasons I bought Borderlands.

Edit - I am in love with the Revolvers that use Revolver rounds but work almost like a shotgun. They only have a capacity of two but that is all they need. :D

Totally agreed. I'm sure that now Bethesda has set the example, Gearbox will be charging us to raise the level cap... ...and rightfully so, 'cause I've already mentally pre-ordered it. Damn addicting game...

Ohhh yes, on Tuesday I had a 2-man crew for co-op, last night we got a friend to rent it and had a 3-man crew, got another friend who is buying it today and the 4-man crew is complete! Nobody seems to want to be the siren :p but we have one of each class so far which makes ammo issues pretty null.

I got an orange/legendary Sniper Rifle that uses explosive rounds, it's crit makes the enemy completley explode :D:lol

It's reload animation is so slow it's comical, it would be like me in real life trying to change the cartridge.

My god. The framerate can be downright horrible at times. It really hampers the fun I'm having.

Playing on PS3 here.

People have been talking about framerate issues on PS3 for days. I have only had minor slowdown during 3 or 4 man co-op and none at all during solo play. When do you run into these issues?

When playing co-op it seldom runs at a smooth clip. When playing solo it drops when like 4 or more skags are on screen and close to me.

Agreed. I've never had any significant frame drops that have hampered the fun, and this is coming from someone who is used to playing on high-end gaming PC's.

Sometimes I wonder if people are being too picky.

SIDE NOTE: I remember when a friend of mine couldn't see the majesty in Shadow of the Colossus b/c the framerate wasn't steady. *SIGH* Foolish, foolish people.

Trust me dude, I'm rareley bothered by a dropping framerate. I just don't care. But in Borderlands it's been so bad that it hampered me from aiming, shooting and moving, and that's when it gets annoying.

I'm still playing the game (a lot) and enjoying it.

I'm really enjoying the game a lot and I honestly can't really think of any major things wrong with it. However this is definitely one game where I feel it could have been more. It's all very adequately done, but I feel no area really excels. Again, not really knocking the game as I love it, but something is missing...somewhere.

Are there any tricks to getting into the Multiplayer Game List without your Ps3 freezing up? Seems like half the time, my Ps3 freezes up for 30sec-1min, then it loads with no problem, the other half of the time it freezes up indefinitely. By 'freeze' I mean, the game's music is still playing, but the little annoying ass robot in the back stops beboxing or whatever, and even loading my XMB won't happen (and if it does happen, it's because the 30sec-1min are up and everything is good).

Should I delete my cache and try again? Or is this in the same vein as the friends list issues?

Is that the one you picked up on the way to kill
Nine Toes (Three Balls)
? I realized while I was shooting that 3-round job at him that the rifle was a POS.

The ramp-up speed on this game is pretty brutal. I ventured out of town without a shield early on and was mauled within seconds. I dared attack the boneheads and got slaughtered over and over and over again. At least it's got that going for it... it's not too easy.

Hmmm, I plan on playing a lot of co-op over the coming weeks, so I'll be on the lookout for this. I sure hope it doesn't happen as drastically to me as it does to you; but seeing as we're both playing on the PS3, I'm a bit nervous.

If I find out that the PS3's framerate ends up being terrible during busy co-op play, I'll be putting mine on ebay and getting the PC version.
