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.

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.

      Nice, hope they *finally* fixed the issue with the NTFS driver where the system would completely brick during large file copies using the built in driver. It's been broken for years requiring me to use the older, slower, NTFS-3G FUSE driver.
    • Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more

      Windows 11 KB5094126 BSODing, freezing, forcing BitLocker lockout, breaks OneDrive, and more by Sayan Sen Microsoft released Windows 11 KB5094126 and KB5093998 last week as the latest Patch Tuesday updates. Following that the company also published the accompanying dynamic updates under KB5094149, KB5095971, and KB5094156. While Microsoft has so far not acknowledged any major problems with the release, some users online are running into problems. These range from OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, BitLocker recovery lockouts, to blue screens and BSODs. The most common one seems to be happening with HP systems wherein affected users say they hit 0xc0430001 BSOD (blue screen of death) error code after the KB5094126 update. We wonder if this could be related to the recent bug we covered on HP devices wherein the ongoing Secure Boot certificate updates are leading to similar issues. While we are not certain, users affected by this issue likely need to ensure that the boot.stl file is included on the installation media (such as a USB installer or ISO), if the above-mentioned dynamic updates are deployed. If this file is missing, computers may fail to boot from the installation media and could display the error 0xc0430001. This STL file is used by Secure Boot to verify that the boot files are trusted, so it must match the same Windows version and system architecture. To ensure the file is included, Microsoft recommends using the Update WinPE script, which automatically updates the image and handles the required files. Alternatively, you can manually copy the boot.stl file from the Windows\Boot\EFI folder on a Windows device and place it in the matching folder on your installation media before deploying the updated image. Aside from blue screening some users also note their systems have been freezing following the update. This could be happening to Lenovo PCs specifically. In the case of the OneDrive and Dropbox access issues, a user figured out that there could be a conflict with UAC. He explained: "Okay, so I did some digging, and in our environment KB5094126 breaks OneDrive and Dropbox in Explorer. I went through all our GPOs and found out that the combination of disabling UAC and having my user being a local admin breaks OneDrive in Explorer. ... If I enable UAC again, then it works, even with KB5094126 still installed." Hopefully, Microsoft will look into these issues.

      It is when it's a desktop in my house though for a PC that's lightly used and not really important when it is. If it was a laptop, it would be a different story. The real solution is varied and begins starting at post #22 in that thread.
