Unless you're trying 4K it should be no problem, throw in some downsampling too. I can run BL2 maxed at 1080p/60 on my 6950, I can't imagine this one is that much different, it's the same engine and targeting the same console gen.
The recommended is a GTX 660. His GTX 970 might fall asleep running this game.

That shouldn't be an issue at all.
Some games don't offer it until right before release. Didn't get an delivery estimate for Alien Isolation until last saturday and I'm a Prime member. I bet they will offer it starting this weekend.

Should I expect the game to be better or worse since it wasn't developed in-house at Gearbox? Since 2K was the primary dev with Gearbox assisting, how do you think this should stack up with the previous two games? Really on the fence with this since I absolutely loved the first but thought the 2nd wasn't nearly as good. I know that's not a popular opinion so don't tear into me too bad.

the team that is making this made the tiny tina dlc for borderlands 2 I believe, which was the best one.

Looking forward to it on PC.

Do different teams make the DLCs or something? Half of them are always great and half of them are always terrible to medicore. I can already guess half the DLC will be like Torgue & Knoxx and half will be like Scarlett and Dr. Ned

Well from what I have seen, 2K AUS took pretty much every step in the right direction, better scaling , skills trees that feel really different one from another, more mobility options, new gun type, loot grinder. Just as you said, I also think BL1 is a better game overall and that's why I'm exited for TPS, it looks like the sequel BL2 should have been.

I'll probably get this during the Steam holiday sale, knowing how cheap these games get after a while. I think I'm starting to get burned out on Borderlands, though.
Pretty sure Tiny Tina was done by Gearbox. The other 3 campaigns were done by either Triptych or the Workshop.

I think all of the bl2 story dlc's were given to other studios to make, not 100% sure though

oh...in the recent developer diary for this game, they talked about work they did on the tiny tina dlc. They might have used that as a reference to bringing new stuff to the series as a whole

I think Borderlands 2 was a vastly superior game in the first playthrough, but playthrough 2 and 2.5 in BL1 was a much better experience in terms of gameplay. If this is all the good stuff of BL2 and the more sane, non-bulletsponge, throw-out-your-guns-every-other-level postgame it could be a real gem.
I really, really hope elemental DOT remains viable all through the later playthroughs, That bugged me the most about the bulletsponge-ness. I always play Siren and it's really not the same if I can't unload on some, then stop once they're about to burn up and leave them to die to the DOT. The most satisfying thing ever.
Yeah I know they usually farm out a bit, but wondered if one team was responsible for the likes of Knoxx, Torgue and Tina (I guess Tina was because of gearbox). Knox was sogood.gif
edit: has anyone been brave enough to use DL Gamer? I want it but I'm on the fence if it's worth the risk over GMG

That and the screams. The glorious screams.

I was mainly a shock/ DT oriented Mechro and it was such a shame how that build became useless the more I played, it was really fun in playthrough 1 and then I had to be another anarchy oriented mechro.
I'm really hyped for Cryo weapons, Ice is my favorite kind of element. but I'm so salty that even when I pre-order a game I'll get it like a week later if I'm lucky.

Super excited for this. BL and BL2 are some of my favorite games in recent memory. I'm a solo player usually and still get a huge kick out of them.
I'd stayed away from many of the videos and class stuff just to avoid spoilers bu this OT got my SUPER excited. I was originally set on Claptrap but his Action Skill sounds... annoying to say the least. Nisha and Athena have way more promise IMO, it's just a shame that Claptrap gets the 'classic BL feel' with the only use of his oxygen been for the jetpacks. But maybe that's why going for one of the other three characters would be more interesting... the new gameplay element of oxygen is a key one and might really spice up the gameplay.
Oh also, might want to make a note on the release date on the OT, it's 14th in NA but 16th AUS and 17th EU inc. UK.
-- It's a pet peeve of mine that really annoys me when companies don't do world wide releases, shame its for one of my most anticipated games this year.

Cant comment on per area but I think Randy said it would be between 1 & 2 in overall size.
I've never really understood this expression here.
Is it just like it sounds where someone posts they wish it was on a different platform and if so then why would that be bannable?
In the best case scenario, it's a low content post. It's also pretty likely to derail a thread into platform arguments and coordinated whining. There's just not much good that comes of it when it's the only thing you have to say.

Wait how are you playing it? do you have a review copy?
Makes sense, thanks!
From what I've seen in the trailers, DoT does more damage than normal gun shots. The scaling is more like Borderlands 1 than Borderlands 2.
I'm so stoked for the game. Too bad Europe needs to wait three days more. ;___;

Seeing this a lot. And I agree every time I read it. Still really mad how that game turned out but that's for another thread.

YES! Will start when I get home.
Yep, but I told myself i wouldnt touch another borderlands until Borderlands 3 and after reading the OT and watching gameplay, I am finally building up some hype!
I think they were referencing how the story is told. Your first playthrough is Athena or someone recounting the story. Playthrough 2 is Tiny Tina's version which is more challenging.

I demoed it at E3 and was really impressed. I'm sure I'll love it.
Nice job, OP! Subbed.
Thanks man!
Now to patiently wait until the "rest of the world" release date.
edit: oh, and fellow brazilians: nuuvem got some good prices on the game and season pass (BRL 85/40 respectively)

That sounds great. By playthrough 3 you had amazingly flat DoT, like 4k DOT on a 20k damage gun. Just pathetic. It's bad enough they nerfed the Hellfire. I mean, it probably deserved a nerf but...shit that was a fun gun. Still pretty good in playthrough 1 on BL2
WTF where did you get the game?

Comes out next tuesday, so I'm sure all major retailers got their copies via shipment today. Maybe he works at one of them or found someone who does and is selling a copy?

yea, but they said something like "It really showed what we could do with dlc packs"; in reference to the Tina dlc. I was assuming the "we" meant that it was the same team
Nah, Gearbox did Tiny Tina

Hoping I'll get a review copy, but it won't be until launch if so. Thanksgiving is Monday.
Yea, Hyperius was also really annoying with his non-communicated, entire area AOE of massive damage that could kill you easily.
I really liked the bosses in the Headhunter packs too, like Crawmerax Jr.
I do really hope they adjust the scaling in UVH, it just got really dumb around level 65+; everything took ages to die, and stuff that could level up was almost unkillable with purple guns. That doesn't seem right.

I never got around to playing those, just the original season pass content.

I wonder if they found a way to block gibbed and other save editors, I doubt it, but hope they did
