New Borderlands Forum!

*Sir_Brizz* · 31st Oct 2009, 12:54 AM

Every once in a while, our community feverishly latches on to a game. When this happens, a lot of discussion tends to happen around that game and we've decided to take action this time. We've created a new Borderlands forum to discuss the game and share tips, secrets, builds, loot, etc. Head on over and check it out, and drop a post while you're there!

So when do we get an L4D forum?

barballs · 31st Oct 2009, 01:30 AM

pfft! :P when L4D uses UE3

no topic: Thanks for that Brizz! Great news.

I love this game so much. I was wondering if there was a Borderlands forum here or not. Good to see there finally is one.

Beyond Borderlands

(awesome game I'm sure, just wish I wasn't seeing so much negativity about yet another PC title using reverse logic for the "Match Making" and the console type lobby system, both of which I loathe thanks to my horrible experiences with Left 4 Dead's game finding system.)

Awesome game would be awesome, if only one could easily get into the game...

and no dedicated servers? Is this true?

MachDelta · 31st Oct 2009, 03:37 AM

Borderlands is awesomely fun... but she's got a baaad case of consolitis. Which sucks donkey balls considering their big mouthed CEO (or whoever it was) said the PC version gonna get extra attention... and then it got none. Hell, when you're equipping your weapons you can still see the up/down/left/right D-pad hotkey icons next to each slot. El-oh-el.

*Sir_Brizz* · 31st Oct 2009, 04:05 AM

The interface works alright. The actual gameplay controls aren't terrible, but the menus are pretty inconsistent. It feels more like mouse control was tacked on than anything else.

The only bad part of the game for me is just setting up co-op games. Even with everything configured properly, it still takes 15 minutes to get a co-op game working. We also have to use Steam chat to communicate making Valve's tool more useful than the entirety of the Gamespy backend in the game.

No dedicated servers, but it doesn't matter. It's only a four player game and it plays perfectly with one as the host.

GGs tonight with hal, DP and Snake-Fu

Wish UT3 had had the (barely noticeable, very slick looking) cel-shading that BL does. It just makes everything pop so nicely in the visuals. I'd bet it would have been one of the defining factors in getting ppl to try the game out longer, as more of the casual/new player base could have actually hit something every now and then.

(and 7yeah I know UT3 came with Lamespy too, but it was UT,.. I had to give it another chance for the franchise.)

*Sir_Brizz* · 31st Oct 2009, 02:13 PM

Gamespy sucks but it's not a reason to skip an otherwise awesome game, imo.

Mr. UglyPants · 31st Oct 2009, 02:30 PM

I didn't realize Borderlands was made under UE3 tech... cool. I must pick this game up.

[NBK]Rattman · 31st Oct 2009, 02:34 PM

I usually setup a single player game and my friends join me...I have my router configured as instructed

this is the truth.

Borderlands is awesome.
besides, you can stick to singleplayer (which is no less awesome than coop) if you don't want to be bothered with hosting or maintaining online play.

Mr. UglyPants · 31st Oct 2009, 09:37 PM

Now, to buy for my 360 or my Desktop, choices choices.

Flak · 1st Nov 2009, 12:06 AM

YAY! This is so cool =D

Now we can talk about how much I pwn!

Don't need a forum for this game because I'm way too busy playing it.

I haven't been this involved in a game since Mass Effect, BioShock or L4D.

BU Steam Group Borderlands playtime: 1017.6 hrs this week

It's only Wednesday.

Anyone know what the group rate is at the local addiction center?
