I'm going to post. I'm not going to post anything specific, because you know what the answer is. But I'm still going to post. Just as a gentle reminder.

Matt · 2009-10-24, 11:28 PM

well it's (PC) complicated and it depends on your (PC) situation (PC) so I can't really recommend either (PC) way I guess

DrSweet · 2009-10-24, 11:32 PM

depends, if you want to play right now, buy it on the 360; if you don't want to feel remorse, buy it on the pc

Gornul · 2009-10-25, 12:59 AM

Welp

Some countries in Europe get it on the 26th, others on the 30th. It's pretty stupid.

Matt · 2009-10-25, 8:26 AM

That's kinda weird.

Anyone got a four-pack going that needs another person?

Mandelbrot · 2009-10-25, 7:22 PM

Tuesday at Midnight Eastern time is the unlock, right?

bosskii · 2009-10-25, 7:27 PM

Just like any other good grind fest, the game really opens up after 20. My brother and I took our Siren/Soldier tandem up to 24 and are destroying, well, everything with full damage specs/equip for SMG and Combat Rifle. If anybody's had any experience with some of the support specs like Daze-based Sirens or Healing Soldiers, I'd love to hear about it.

Nope, Monday at 1

I'd be interested in going in on a 4-pack as well. Finally decided on which platform to get it on. I just never got the hang of shooter controls on the 360 all that well.

Agent Bill · 2009-10-25, 8:38 PM

Steam says it unlocks in 17 hours for me. That makes it round 3pm my count.

Jay · 2009-10-25, 9:03 PM

So long as it's out by 4:30 PM.
Seriously, I'm going to be fidgeting all day tomorrow.
I wanna play nooooowww

Syngyne · 2009-10-25, 9:21 PM

Just hum this to yourself all day.

Matt · 2009-10-25, 9:27 PM

oh man which of my steam friends am i gonna play with first?

Danimo · 2009-10-25, 9:30 PM

I don't get home on Mondays until 8:00 PM, everyone's gonna be level 5000 by then

played a couple hours with some friends tonight (a new character running with level 24-27s. Remember my earlier post about friends that play for a hundred hours offline and get ahead?). You know how we joked about the game being like a small-scale MMO? The quest structure is straight from an MMO. I think playing Red Faction: Guerrilla at the same time as this has ruined me a bit. The environments in Borderlands are completely static, you can't break objects or have much impact on the world.

Those complaints aside, the gunplay is very satisfying and I love the randomly generated weapons. Early on I found an SMG that set foes on fire and was reluctant to give it up for a better gun. Setting the doggies ablaze and seeing hit points fly out of them like popcorn was great. Also the coop has a great balance of support abilities and pure combat.

Does anyone know about the voice chat situation for PC? I've heard it doesn't bind to a button and is either always on or off, so it sounds like Vent might be the answer for now.

.

This was a con on the Gametrailers review as well, and it seems like a pretty big oversight. Especially since water apparently doesn't ripple or do shit when you drive a fucking car through it. Still, if that's my biggest complaint, I'm happy. I just want a 3d post-apoc Diablo loot-fest.
