Borderlands - Games - Facepunch Forum

I've been so pumped for this ever since that GI cover story.

I need more info. The weapon system does interest me, but it doesn't have me choosing this over all the other games coming out in February (if that is the official release date for this.)

[QUOTE=g0atcheez;13306200]I've been so pumped for this ever since that GI cover story.[/QUOTE] Same with me.

Seems like your run of the mill run and gun game.

[QUOTE=Gmodpanda;13305049]It's this on the Xbox 360 too? I am immune, can't play waht you don't have. [img]http://sa.tweek.us/emots/images/frown.gif[/img][/QUOTE] Deus Ex is free on Gametap. Just though i'd throw that in there for you.

[QUOTE=M_B;13306639][B]FUCK YOU[/B] i just went and looked, and it isn't, GOLD ACCOUNT ONLY. fucking solicitor[/QUOTE] It was free. Just not [url=http://www.joystiq.com/2009/01/19/gametap-removing-97-free-games/]anymore[/url].

[QUOTE=M_B;13306639][B]FUCK YOU[/B] i just went and looked, and it isn't, GOLD ACCOUNT ONLY. fucking solicitor[/QUOTE] That's the second one. It's the game of the year edition that's free but it's the same game.

I CAME. And then I punched myself in the face a few times to alleviate the pressure. That's the first time it's ever happened to me. O.o Wait a minute, something is fishy here. Look at the rest of the release dates, specifically prototype. They said it was gonna come out in SUMMER of '09. FUCKING TARGET!

I might get this.

I remember a thread about this. I hear you can make your own guns and cars. That woman in the trailer has shitty voice sound effects.

[QUOTE=Skooma;13305059]I bet there are only like 10-30 gun and missile launcher models and the rest are the same gun with random stats. With combinations one stat in a system of like 5 or 6 on a 10 point scale altered by 1 counts as a "new gun" even if it looks exactly the same.[/QUOTE] This man has clearly studied a lot. Can I see your source for this? Looking forward to this game. Hopefully the gameplay won't be [B]too[/B] repetitive.

Sounds cool, hopefully it'll stay fun after you play it for a bit.

[QUOTE=Minorkos;13309373]This man has clearly studied a lot. Can I see your source for this?[/QUOTE] Even with the software they claim to have developed to generate weapons, half a million entirely unique weapons is a very unreasonable claim.

Ugh target better not be lieing, the game is suppost to have a lot of alein creature things which I'm looking forward to

[QUOTE=sleepyperson;13306923]That's the second one. It's the game of the year edition that's free but it's the same game.[/QUOTE] none of them are free [img]http://i.somethingawful.com/forumsystem/emoticons/emot-downswords.gif[/img] and gametap is too shitty for me to subscribe, especially for a gold account [QUOTE=Imperials;13309670]Ugh target better not be lieing, the game is suppost to have a lot of alein creature things which I'm looking forward to[/QUOTE] is this the first game you've ever heard of with "alein creature things"?

[QUOTE=Fadeaway;13309519]Even with the software they claim to have developed to generate weapons, half a million entirely unique weapons is a very unreasonable claim.[/QUOTE] Read the damn quote, he claimed that the game only has 10 - 30 different gun models. I was only asking for a source anyway, do you have it? Oh, and they never claimed they were unique. In one interview, they said that they have some guns that are almost the same as others. For example, they have a rifle called something around G30. Then they have a G30R one, which is almost the same. The only difference is that the G30R one has a longer barrel. I rest my case.

they also mentioned poor quality guns and better ones of the same model. Dunno if it will be displayed in the name like the example above or as a condition tho.

There isn't even 600,000 guns they are just "different Combinations" of attachments etc, Pistol - thats one pistol with small scope - another pistol with flashlight - another ETC with every gun

This is freeroam right? I don't see that this could get boring fast. That E3 vid was one of the rare times I went HOLY SHIT at a walkthrough after hearing about the 600,000 guns, RPG element and especially the coop. Also I don't care if there are gun's like Minorkos said with just a longer barrel or something, don't they have some kind of random model type thing too? Like for example the sniper with the revolver magazine.

If you watch closely, when they spawn all of the weapons in the video, there is a shit ton of different models for every weapon. Not just the same model's repeating.

[QUOTE=Imperials;13304057]It finally comes out Feb 5th[/QUOTE] You can't be serious. I'm out of money, shit.

[QUOTE=Hybrid 4F;13311323]You can't be serious. I'm out of money, shit.[/QUOTE] I'm not sure, but I don't think it's getting released February 5th. I mean, the same site says that [B]Prototype[/B] is getting released February 3th. It's supposed to be released next summer. Also guys, do you really think you're going to need all 600,000 guns? Of course they're not all going to be unique. Let's say you were to test each weapon out, giving 5 seconds for each weapon. You'd have to spend like 80 hours to test whole 600,000 of them.

I checked Gearboxity, and some fan blogs. There's no mention of February 5.

It's better than say, Mass Effect, but not that much better.

[QUOTE=Fadeaway;13311634]What that 'one interview' (hey, can I get some source over here too?) says isn't much better.

It does say exactly what I said, with the exceptance that they said that all the weapons are all different [B]in their own way[/B]. They didn't say [B]entirely unique[/B], never did. I've been kind of observing you. When Fallout 3 was coming out, you were all so cynical and pessimistic about it. After it got released, I saw some of your posts on the custom forum, you were very happy with that game. Now you're doing the same thing with Borderlands, what's your problem? Edit: Check my above post too. More edit: This game is probably fixing my number 1 problem with most games. Where as Stalker has this G36k weapon, which pretty much outdoes every other weapon in the game. This game in the other hand seems to give credit to other guns as well, keeping them all in pretty good balance.

Biggest problem with this game is that I can't find any bloody store in europe that has it up for pre-ordering, or has it up in general.

I don't give a flying fuck. Can't you just pay attention to the other shit. You remind me of an old married couple. Also, Minorkos, You've been observing him? Creeper. On the light side, I've been waiting for this game ever since last years game informer. Looks like sex to me.

Second, I'm not very happy with it, not by a long shot. There are a lot of things wrong with the game which need improving.

I'm going to buy this game for me and my 2 neighbors if it has freeroam. That would satisfy all my gaming needs.
