Title: Borderlands! Borderlands! Borderlands! (This Thread Is About Borderlands!)
Post by: Foggle on August 13, 2009, 08:50:40 AM
This game looks so goddamn amazing. It's a four-player online co-op role playing shooter with over 5000 guns, customizable vehicles, and a unique art style. Just watch the trailer (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdBFWti6mkg) and tell me it doesn't look like the greatest thing ever.
I request that all PC gamers buy this, so you can join me 'n my mate in epic four-player loot hunting adventures.  :lordilsmile:

Huh. Is this thread about Borderlands? XD

Yeah, the look is super impressive, and I can see why you're excited for it. Not my cup of tea but I hope you enjoy it when it comes out.

First game in a long time that makes me go into total fanboy mode whenever I see or hear anything about it. D:

Not sure of the exact specs, but according to the devs, if you can run Left 4 Dead, Team Fortress 2, or Unreal Tournament 3, you should be fine.

That's what I love about the Xbox 360, I never have to worry if I can run the game I'm about to buy...

I was very bored today, so i used much time just watching gameplay clips on Gearbox's Borderlands channel on youtube... I'm pretty excited for the game, more than i was before... i learned a few things i never knew before from watching some of that stuff...

I hope we'll meet sometime Foggle... This sounds like an awesome addictive game... :D

Well, I don't have to worry about virus problems, or having to take my xbox apart to upgrade it every once in a while...

I am tempted by getting another x360 apart from this game, I will also get to play the next part of gta 4's episodes.

Saw this game for both the PS3 and 360 at HMV yesterday. I guess a title's expected popularity can reflect the price you pay for it.

At $64.99 CDN, it's currently one of the most expensive games to buy there right now. O_O

The game has been very fun so far, I really enjoy it. :im_nabeshin: A lot of other PC gamers seem to think that it's a "terrible port," but I can't really see that at all, and there are only a few issues, anyway. It certainly would have benefited from more development time and a bigger budget, but I'm very happy with my purchase. :lordilsmile:

Sure! Do you have Steam? We need to get a game going with Micki! sometime.

Steam ID is Foggle.

Alright, friends, I think it's time we arrange a co-op game of Borderlands. Micki!, Poey, Soske, and I all have copies of the game (though I don't know if Soske has it on PC... he should post here and tell us). If not, we can bring in someone else (perhaps my RL friend, John, he's a really cool guy). We need to go through the whole game together. Mic is optional, but preferred.

Everyone post your GameSpy IDs here and which character you want to play as. I'll choose last, but I'd rather not be Brick if possible (and there should be one of each character ;) ). I'll try to get something working using Vent because the in-game voice chat sucks.

I rather like it...Feels cool when friends are shooting and all, and you're the only having the balls walking in there and beating the crap out of them in person, because you CAN :D
And i always share med kits with friends, i'm fine with the berserk mode healing anyways, it's cheap and fast...

I'm a sniper-class Hunter. I have Vent, but not steam.

I'll ask my friend who he wants to play as, I guess.

So, now that we've got four players, how are we gonna' set this up?

How can we contact you, Poey?

Post by: Poey on November 22, 2009, 08:20:23 PM
I'm always on AIM when I'm on the computer, so that's the simplest way. The only problem will probably be a time when we're all available.

Has anyone else played the new Zombie DLC yet? It's an absolute riot, humor-wise! I also leveled up 5 times and got some sweet new loot. :)
Title: Re: Borderlands! Borderlands! Borderlands! (This Thread Is About Borderlands!)
Post by: MincyMatsu on December 12, 2009, 12:14:51 PM
Yeah, about that sweet new loot ... How's that 9-damage SMG ..? :D

That's pretty fucked up though, haha, wonder what the hell caused that...
i wish i could give you my SMG, incendiary orange one... But i love it too much, way too much...

Well, I beat the Zombie island content. Very cool, I got a LOT of amazing equipment... and now I'm back on the regular game and everything seems all low-level... damn. Also, I'm spoiled by fighting retarded zombies.

You should go try the Secret Armory of General Knoxx DLC, it's cooler than the actual main game imo, shorter, but much more well done in every aspect...
Title: Re: Borderlands! Borderlands! Borderlands! (This Thread Is About Borderlands!)

I still play the game from time to time with friends. I need to get new DLC with the raised level cap and whatnot.

Post by: MincyMatsu on April 19, 2010, 05:19:27 AM
I have it for PC on steam, Foggle as well...

Funnnn..! It's oddly much more enjoyable with friends... Even silly stuff like "harhh, i found something for your HUNTAAAARRRRRR class here..!" or "ZOMG A YELLOW GUN, DAT MINEZ"

Those things just don't work right when playing alone :D

PC.

I'm now using a Hunter and a Siren. Hunter is level 40 I think, Siren is level 33 or something.
