So I was checking it out at Steam and was wondering if anyone is playing? Is it worth the price? I didn't like the first one. So would it be a good buy or another regrettable purchase?

Edit:

Errp! Could a mod merge this with the other one? I searched but couldn't find a topic.

I loled at the dialogue after you kill a bunch of enemies to defend claptrap. "OMG what did you do? Those were human beings...with lives... and families... Nah, just kidding, screw those guys."

haha hell yeah, I'm renting it right now, but god the dialog is funny! Love the voices and such, another winner for the dev team for sure.

So last night after work, me and the girl sat down around 7pm and played up to about 11:30pm. Great fun. Split screen though has major flaws on the PS3. First, FPS will drop in chaotic areas, which is a give in considering how awesome it looks still. 2nd, is FPS will drop to about 5fps when 1 person is fighting and another is accessing their inventory or a machines inventory. This is horrible, given how if one of us ran out of ammo, we were forced to just run around and melee, due to if we went into our menus, it meant certain death to us both.

So... due to those bugs, I traded in a few old ps3 games, and got a 2nd copy of borderlands with preorder codes for "free". Surprised me that trading in 4 games was enough to get BL2 and have a few bucks left over for credit at Gamestop. It is a good day indeed :) If only the saves for characters weren't account bound. We will just have to level up my girls character through brute force at higher difficulties :p

I was a huge fan of the original and Borderlands 2 has managed to live up to my very high expectations. The graphics are incredible, the PC version is incredibly well done, the gameplay is noticeably improved, the scenery and enemies are more varied and the narrative is great so far.

A few screenshots I took earlier (max settings):

As a fan of the first game, I think that Borderlands 2 improves upon in in almost every way. One of the main things that bugged me about the first game was the FOV, so I was really happy to see that it was adjustable. Also, I like the redone inventory and skill tree.

Few questions, I'm about 4 hours of /played, level 10 Assassin. I did not play the first one but I am loving this game, vehicles are so helpful and the maps are relatively large, decently detailed. (Playing on Xbox 360). I had a question though: do the gun cases the come up throughout the story give the same guns for all people in all play-throughs or are those random? Also, I haven't paid attention, does health ever regenerate other than buying or finding a med-stick?

Guns are completely random. Also if you go back to that area and open the gun case again, the weapons again are completely random. There are millions upon millions of different combinations.

Health will regenerate if your shield allows it to other than that you will need to use med packs..

Well, I did get it from Steam. Bad thing, it will not start. Maybe it isn't compatible with Win8?

I have all of the newest Win8 drivers that I could find.

What are your system specs? I'm running Windows 8 with the latest nVidia drivers and Borderlands 2 runs great.

Eeee, I'm loving this so far! Only just got started, though. Been busy with commitments but tonight I plan to play for many hours on end. Took ages to decide between Maya or Zer0, but I played the last one with the siren as well, all the DLC, maxed out level, etc--so I've started with Maya for nostalgia's sake. Will definitely play through as Zer0 next though. Man, I love this game. The dialogue, the little signs and things you find scattered around... the art style and gun-generating-magic are amazing and unique, but the creators' sense of humour really sends it over the edge into an incredibly fun game.

Not just shields, certain class-mods also have regenerating health.

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know The ONLY thing I need to know is the price, which I know will be way higher than I (and most people) are willing to pay for a phone... so basically nothing here I need to know. PS: Nice job getting that Apple reference to a non-existent and unrevealed product as "competition" in there. Cheque is in the mail.

      Well I really think the repasting helped if your higher clocks have returned, maybe the next thing to look at is if there is a problem with your case airflow? I guess this because your 3080 has returned to optimal state, but is still staying too warm, which might suggest it was thermal throttling before you repasted, of which the only logical conclusion could be outside factors.

    • Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know

      Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 8, Flip 8, Z Fold Wide: Everything you need to know by Hamid Ganji Galaxy Z Fold 7 - Image via Samsung The next generation of Samsung foldables is set to be unveiled next month at the second Unpacked event of the year. Samsung’s 2026 foldables are not expected to offer significant upgrades over their predecessors, with the Korean firm instead focusing on design refinements and conventional upgrades such as faster processors and better cameras. However, Samsung is reportedly planning to unveil an all-new passport-style foldable this year to rival Apple’s first foldable iPhone, which is expected to debut this September. Here’s a roundup of everything we know about Samsung’s upcoming foldable devices ahead of their official debut. When can we expect Samsung’s new foldables? The Galaxy Z Fold 7 and Z Flip 7 series were unveiled in July, and Samsung is expected to maintain this timeframe in 2026. Based on previous reports from Korean sources, Samsung will hold its Unpacked event on July 22 in London, UK, to pull back the curtain on the Galaxy Z Fold 8 series. The devices are also expected to hit the shelves a few weeks after launch. However, Samsung has yet to announce an official date. A new naming scheme? One of the most interesting changes we might see this year is a new naming scheme for Samsung’s latest foldables. SamMobile reported that since Samsung is expected to unveil three foldables this year, it has adopted a new naming strategy to simplify product identification for customers. Accordingly, the standard Galaxy Z Fold 8 will reportedly be called the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and will serve as the direct successor to last year’s Galaxy Z Fold 7. The “Ultra” suffix suggests the phone could feature higher-end specifications, such as additional rear camera modules. Samsung’s new passport-style foldable is expected to carry the Galaxy Z Fold 8 name without any suffix. This model is reportedly equipped with two rear cameras. No major changes are expected for the Flip model. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 anticipated specs Rumors over the past few months suggest Samsung is preparing several upgrades for its upcoming foldables, although the devices may continue to rely on larger batteries and faster charging speeds rather than dramatic design changes. The primary focus this year is expected to be the Galaxy Z Fold 8 and its wide-screen design. Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here are the anticipated specifications for the Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra based on previous leaks: 6.5-inch outer display and 8-inch inner display, 120Hz refresh rate, and 2,600 nits peak brightness Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, paired with 12GB or 16GB of RAM and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB of storage 4.1mm thickness when unfolded and a weight of 210g 200MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, 10MP or 12MP telephoto camera, 10MP cover camera, and 10MP selfie camera 5,000mAh battery with 45W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 As for the Galaxy Z Flip 8, the device is not expected to be a major departure from its predecessor, although it could become slightly slimmer. Expected specifications include: Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 or Exynos 2600 processor 12GB of RAM with 256GB and 512GB storage options 6.9-inch Dynamic AMOLED 2X inner dispaly and 4.1-inch Super AMOLED outer dispaly 50MP main camera, 12MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera 4,300mAh battery with 25W wired charging Android 17 and One UI 9 Samsung’s foldables are also expected to launch with Gemini Intelligence, Google’s AI suite for automating tasks in Android ecosystem. Moreover, given current memory and component costs, some Galaxy Z Fold 8 Ultra and Z Flip 8 variants could see a price hike. Galaxy Z Fold 8 adopts a wide-screen design The centerpiece of the upcoming Unpacked event could be the Galaxy Z Fold 8, previously rumored as the Galaxy Z Fold Wide. This model adopts a passport-style form factor and is expected to compete directly with Apple’s iPhone Fold. Galaxy Z Fold 8 official CAD renders - Image via AndroidHeadlines Here’s what to expect: 7.6-inch primary OLED display and 5.4-inch cover display, 120Hz refresh rate, 2,600 nits peak brightness, and 4:3 aspect ratio Snapdragon 8 Elite Gen 5 processor, 12GB or 16GB of RAM, and 256GB, 512GB, or 1TB storage options 4,800mAh battery with 45W wired charging 50MP main camera, 50MP ultrawide camera, and 10MP selfie camera Android 17 and One UI 9 The three new foldable phones are unlikely to be the only devices unveiled at Samsung’s Unpacked event. The company is also expected to introduce the Galaxy Watch Ultra 2 and the Galaxy Watch 9 series.
