i've never played or seen anyone play Borderlands before and have a few questions.

Will it be like L4D? Better to game with 3 other mates, and when they are unavailable, you just auto connect with 4 other players via internet? Or can you play solo? I wish it was alot more independent, but you could then create parties, that would have been epic!

Borderlands, like more Diablo-style games, is better played with friends. It's always great to show off/share loot with your friends, and the characters have some great synergy when played as a team. Tanky Gunzerker, as a stealth Zer0 flanks from behind or snipes for example.

Played for a few hours tonight... Even more fun than the first :D

Playing as Zer0 with my friend playing Axton and just scraped the surface of their skills (only level 8 so far), but so far they are both looking like great characters. Badass skills are a welcome addition. Looking forward to lots more playing tomorrow!

Just picked up my PS3 version during my bank run.... Now waiting for lunch hour... after lunch hour, going to just be counting the hours down til closing time. Game looks so awesome. Gearbox is going to become one of the best gaming companies in a little while. They seem to be on track with what gamers really want.

I'm really looking forward to getting some time to play this game. My brother and I played the first one to death back in the day. Unfortunately, I won't get much time to play this week. (Anniversary on Thursday, and friend's wedding on Friday) I'm totally jealous of those of you who are playing already.

How is Zer0? He's the one I'm going to play with first, but some of his talents were kind of ambiguous. (Like Counter Strike and Killing blow). They could be really, really awesome...or really, really terrible depending on the thresholds used (which aren't mentioned). How is he playing early game so far?

Love the Intro/Theme song to the game

If you got it on ps3, add me - PeanutTown

Yeah hearing that made me a little mad I didn't go to the launch party to see them live.

Btw added you LOC as soonerfreak.

Love the dialogue so far. Laughed out loud about 10 times, and only about 10 minutes into the game.

Best one so far is, " I bought a pony made out of diamonds, because I'm rich like that. Was trying to think of a name for him that reminded me of you... **** for brains just doesn't sound right." :p

For someone who hasn't played Borderlands, and is burnt out on FPS for the time being, would I dislike this game?

Only asking because a bud of mine is begging for me to pick it up, but I'm not sure I am ready for another FPS at this point. Are the RPG elements enough to make me forget about it? Just wondering.

I think you'd like it. But, then again it IS an FPS game, with RPG elements. Slightly more RPG elements than say, Mass Effect etc. But it does have RPG elements none the less. Also, with the new Bad Ass system, you can tweak your guys pretty well now also. So maybe...slightly more RPG-ish? :p

Looks like I am going to have some time to check out the PC version tonight. Will see if anyone is on Steam when I do. I do need a little bit to play with graphics settings though, need to make sure it is running the best it can. I also never beat Borderlands 1, so I am a casual Borderlands player, so keep this in mind if we do play, I may not know exactly what I am doing. But I am decent at shooting stuff. :laugh:

I can't decide if I like Clap Trap or Handsome Jack more.

    • "...but it may not be Microsoft's fault" seems like a reasonable way to tease what is going on without leaving the user with a false impression that an update is the problem. A title isn't a summery, it is meant to entice the user to read the article. It should not contain a misleading premise; which this title does not. You could maybe complain that the first paragraph should have included that detail. The writing style popularized over 100 years ago in newspapers will cover the most important information as soon as possible with details and nuance added later; the idea being that with each new paragraph you have less of the reader's focus.
    • Samsung Galaxy XR arrives in the UK with new AI and enterprise features by Fiza Ali Samsung is bringing its Galaxy XR headset to the UK several months after the device made its debut as the first headset built on Google's Android XR platform. The headset was first teased in late 2024 alongside Google's introduction of Android XR before making its commercial debut in 2025. Developed in collaboration with Google and Qualcomm, Galaxy XR combines mixed reality experiences with Gemini-powered AI features, allowing users to interact with digital content using voice, gestures, and visual inputs. While the hardware itself remains largely unchanged from the version Samsung unveiled last year, the company is using the UK launch to spotlight several software enhancements that have arrived through recent updates. Among the most notable additions is deeper integration with Google's ecosystem. Galaxy XR users can explore destinations through Google Maps' Immersive View, receiving AI-powered recommendations and contextual information from Gemini while navigating virtual environments. Furthermore, entertainment experiences have also expanded; users can watch 180-degree and 360-degree videos on YouTube, browse spatial content converted into 3D, and ask Gemini questions about on-screen content without interrupting playback. Samsung is also highlighting mixed-reality features such as Circle to Search, which allows users to identify real-world objects through hand gestures while using the headset's video pass-through mode. Another feature automatically converts photos and videos into spatial 3D experiences. Moreover, the headset now also supports Android Enterprise, allowing organisations to manage deployments using existing Android management tools. Annika Bizon, Vice President, Product and Marketing, Mobile Experience, Samsung UK & Ireland, talked about the device, stating: The headset is powered by Qualcomm's Snapdragon XR2+ Gen 2 platform and features dual 4K Micro-OLED displays. The tech giant says that users can expect up to 2.5 hours of battery life. Samsung also confirmed that Galaxy XR will continue receiving software and security updates as the company works alongside Google and Qualcomm to expand the Android XR ecosystem. Galaxy XR is now available for pre-order and will go on sale on 8 July. Customers interested in trying the headset before launch can visit Samsung KX in London and selected Samsung Experience Stores from 17 June. Finally, the company will also host a livestream on 19 June showcasing the headset's capabilities and answering questions from prospective customers.
