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 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.

    • what other retro software do yall use

      By +InsaneNutter · Posted

      At work we still have a couple of people that use a version of AutoCAD LT purchased in 1994. This predates Windows 95 and works fine on versions of Windows up to XP. Its long since run in an locked down isolated XP VM, accessible via RDP. I did install LibreCAD for them, however they said it was just too different to get to grips with. In all fairness one of them is now 75 and the other is almost 60.

    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Nothing is stopping you from continuing with your testing cadence. If updates are released every 2 weeks instead of 4, and you test once every 4 weeks, the exact same amount of patches will still be available for you in those 4 weeks. For example: Before 4th week - patch 1, 2, 3, 4 After 2nd week - patch 1 and 2 4th week - patch 3 and 4 Still the same amount after 4.
    • Microsoft about to radically change how often your Edge browser updates

      By testman · Posted

      Everyone else has said it. I'm gonna say it - you don't know what you're talking about. I do. I have two laptops. One work, one personal. I have access to two more laptops - both personal. At home I manually update my personal laptop when I see on Neowin that there is an update - I carry on and only apply the updates when I am ready. My work one only updates when my workplace decides to send it - I carry on and only apply the updates (when they actually arrive, which is usually days after the release) when I switch off the laptop at the end of the day as usual. The two other personal laptops only get updated when I get to it which is rarely - the people who own them carry on using them until I get to it and update them. All of the browsers on all laptops are configured to restore the tabs when launched. Google and Microsoft have changed from 6 weeks to 4, and it looks like it's going to move to 2. None of these changes affect how any of these browsers on the laptops are used. Not one jot. My advice to you is stop panicking whenever you see an update. Just carry on with what you're doing. This even benefits you in a way - from your comment you sound like you don't like the changes or the frivolous new features - great - then carry on as before!
