I got a Steam code for $30 - it has no pre-order bonus (as far as I know, you could get lucky and they just might give it to you).

9/14/2012 11:47:33 PM

9/15/2012 1:01:39 AM

Pre-loaded.

9/15/2012 10:42:46 PM

Man, I have a bunch of Gamestop credit and could probably get this used in a buy 2 get 1 sale in a few months, but I have a feeling it's better on PC and I kinda want to play it ASAP. Decisions decisions...

9/16/2012 11:42:02 AM

I have a code for $30.

9/16/2012 11:54:10 AM

Wait, are the original 4 classes playable in this one? Or do they just assist you on different missions

9/17/2012 1:00:42 PM

npcs that assist on some missions

9/17/2012 1:50:43 PM

This game looks interesting but the forced crude humor in the vids is making me cringe.

9/17/2012 2:16:14 PM

from what i recall about the first there isn't an over abundance in the actual game.

it was there, but nothing that ever made me think that the primary focus was to force the humor into the game (maybe nine toes with the "he has three balls")

9/17/2012 3:58:50 PM

^The nine toes/three balls thing is the only really crude part I remember.

I loved the siren ::daps::

I wish that for games like these I could test drive the characters to figure out, which I wanted to level. I have no idea how to decide among them. I liked the Siren last time, but the abilities are different.

9/17/2012 4:21:42 PM

Preloaded. I'm thewiseteen on Steam, add me so we can shoot things

9/17/2012 8:17:56 PM

THIS may have been addressed but its it ported to PC or built for it?

9/17/2012 8:40:54 PM

not sure, but i saw this posted earlier today

9/17/2012 9:44:35 PM

been watching a few vids...the dialogue is def. a bit much

9/17/2012 11:42:42 PM

can't wait to read everyone's initial thoughts

Only got to play for about an hour. Liked the look of it all.

I was wrong about the innuendo laced characters in the first one Patricia Tannis was pretty hard up for it from someone later in the story. However...

Impressions on PC version:

Menu was quite different. I need to fiddle with it more to get the hang of it. I can see it working better on a controller.

Sensitivity was quite high. I had to tone mine down to about 20 to avoid doing a full 360 by trying to look left. It may go back up after i get more of the hang of a game with actual need to move and spin more.

Some dialogue over the top, but I think thats pretty standard in the beginning of the game as they try to draw people into the game.

Didn't get that far in game/story so I won't post any impressions in regards to that.

9/18/2012 8:34:46 AM

^That's interesting because according to the PC port article above the one thing they did for the PC version (that isn't the typical higher resolution, KYB+M, etc.) was to have "100 percent mouse-usable menus."

So I guess that having 100% mouse-usable menus doesn't mean that they changed the design to be more intuitive to use with a mouse.

[Edited on September 18, 2012 at 9:01 AM. Reason : -]

9/18/2012 9:00:16 AM

the mouse is definitely usable.

but having only used it for about an hour it felt a little awkward. the inventory menu seemed rather large and they went for more of a pictoral representation of your inventory rather than just giving a text line.

i believe the first one had the text line so you could see about 18 lines of inventory, whereas you can only see about 6-7 lines of inventory with pictures.

this only cropped up as being a concern as i tried to find a health pack to use.

9/18/2012 9:03:36 AM

So I could have sworn I preordered, but I haven't heard anything from Game Stop and definitely don't have a receipt. Is it possible to reserve a preorder even though today is the release date? I really only care about the eventual mechromancer download

9/18/2012 10:19:01 AM

I don't think there is a way to get in on the preorder bonuses at this point.

9/18/2012 10:44:42 AM

I think you are suppose to get a code after the release date that allows you to redeem the pre-order. Once you redeem the items are suppose to be in your characters inventory when you start a new character. I am still waiting on mine, and I hope I am right about this.

been a long time since i turned on the ol' xbox...that's about to change in a major way

9/18/2012 11:46:27 AM

^I should probably go ahead and do that so it can download/install any updates it might need to

9/18/2012 11:54:04 AM

Why does it keep asking me to install this Net framework bullshit every goddamn time I fire up the game, and then if you restart likes it says to complete the installation it installs it again.

9/18/2012 12:45:02 PM

i chose to restart later and had no problem with it.

someone mentioned changing the redist folder to avoid it until its fixed

9/18/2012 1:08:22 PM

Pre-order bonuses aren't working for me, but I played for a few hours last night as a siren. My impression so far is: yep, it's Borderlands.

9/18/2012 2:16:30 PM

the damn xbox code redemption site is broken for me

9/18/2012 2:41:07 PM

Worth getting strictly for campaign?

9/18/2012 2:42:17 PM

You can just hit cancel on the .net thing and the game will load, it's really annoying though.

9/18/2012 3:14:35 PM

Other than just very minor annoyances (that have nothing to do with the game per se) this shit is REALLY good. Everything has been improved in a meaningful way.

9/10.

9/18/2012 4:26:48 PM

the guns that say they explode when you reload them, they hurt you, correct?

9/18/2012 7:46:41 PM

^no, you throw it like a grenade and a brand new gun generates in your hands.

really enjoying this game thus far.

9/18/2012 8:07:35 PM

oh snap

I guess I shouldn't have been bypassing all of them then

9/18/2012 8:14:54 PM

i feel like there is too much shit now on my HUD.

9/19/2012 7:11:01 AM

The exploding guns are thrown like a grenade, but I think they can hurt you if you're too close. Not positive though.

I want a diamond horse named Butt Stallion.

9/19/2012 9:23:29 AM

having played on the pc version more now i feel the menu is growing on me. it takes a little getting used to still, but overall works well with the mouse.

9/19/2012 10:46:49 AM

I spend half my time playing slots so far

9/19/2012 10:55:53 AM

be careful throwing away the exploding weapons early, though...it wastes ammo

9/19/2012 12:15:36 PM

Flynt fucked my shit up

9/19/2012 7:45:43 PM

anybody selling a code for like $30 dollar bux? i wanna play but not for $60 atm

9/19/2012 9:57:10 PM

If there is ever a mod that allows you to display the time pf day in the HUD when you are in fullscreen just let me know about it, that would be great.

Well I guess it's good to hear that it grows on you. I don't really remember the old menu but so far I'm not a fan of the new one, referring to the inventory screen. I've found that to drop an item you have to first click on the > arrow before clicking anything else, then you are allowed to drop an item. You can't simply click that whole entire panel over to the right where you can see all your inventory (grayed out), it has to be the > first to shift the right panel over, then you can click your items. I guess there's a good reason why they didn't make the whole right panel click sensitive to enable it or why they even felt like the right panel needed to be activated and shifted at all (there's LOTS of unused horizontal space to work with), there's plenty of screen space to work with. I'm going off of memory and have had very little time with the game so there are probably valid reasons for my nits. Probably to dictate how the arrow keys/d-pad interact with the cursor when you press the directions?

IIRC dropping items is also mysteriously disabled when you are swapping weapons. Select an equiped weapon, right panel becomes active, you can't drop weapons to clear inventory while studying your inventory for a different weapon. Again, I'm probably just not seeing the valid reasoning for disabling it.

Plus it took a few minutes to discover the appropriate methods for swapping weapons out... or maybe it was just me dealing with a new gui and having the bad luck of getting two weapons that looked very similar to each other at the beginning of the game and never being quite sure whether they had actually been swapped.

while i'm getting used to it, i still find myself clicking the side panel to move over from time to time.

i wish the wasd keys would help navigate the menu as well

and lastly wish that if you click any button that pulls up your menu that hitting the same button would close it out.
