Borderlands - A Sci-Fi shooter with RPG elements and a lot of guns - Games

Decision... to buy... game... too... hard. I seriously don't know what to do, I want to buy it and I want to get a good game, but the last few games I've bought thinking "Oh that looks cool, that'll be a good game" have turned out to be shit games. Also, does PC have splitscreen, and is it co op storyline sort of co op, or just free for all deathmatch mulitplayer style?

[b]Can't wait one more week! God damn![/b]

About 6 Gearbox devs went online on the forums a minute ago and now the forums are down. Though the Gearbox forums have been down once today already so it might just be some technical fuck up.

:v: Good job SHITBULLET, you've spread the word and now the forums won't even load. [editline]06:44PM[/editline] Hivemind

[QUOTE=SHITBULLET;17958877]About 6 Gearbox devs went online on the forums a minute ago and now the forums are down. Though the Gearbox forums have been down once today already so it might just be some technical fuck up.[/QUOTE] good, hopefully this means we will get some news.

Well I hope that Gearbox will keep their word and unlock it today or tomorrow. And that steam will unlock at the same time as GBX does. [editline]04:49PM[/editline] Hey the forums are back up! And only 2 devs are online right now. Great.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;17959049]So does that mean this will come out early?[/QUOTE] No Gearbox developer even commented yet. There's 2 on right now and 1 seems to be reading through the thread about unlocking it.

The thread [URL=http://gbxforums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=77198&page=8]Unlock this game already[Street date broken on a massive scale [/URL] has been locked. So either we're gonna get a reply by a GBX developer soon or any promise made by Gearbox is bullshit. AKA. They locked the one thread concerning the issue of the PC street date being broken and them saying they'd unlock the game should that happen.

A dev is reading the locked thread right now so maybe we'll finally get a response.

[QUOTE=SHITBULLET;17959187]A dev is reading the locked thread right now so maybe we'll finally get a response.[/QUOTE] The response will probably be something like "No". :saddowns:

Forums down again >.<

The devs are busy wanking and playing borderlands on 360

[QUOTE=imadaman;17959222]Forums down again >.<[/QUOTE] They're up for me right now.

Forums up!

GBX won't man up.

How is this game? Worth buying? Also, how does the weapon thing work?

1T5 AM4Z1NG!!!11!1!!! /procaps Goddamn, we should just invade the forums.

[QUOTE=SmashJonXD;17956761]really... REALLY?! How could someone play splitscreen on a PC i mean think about the controls and the screen size boxes i liek em well can someone name me a PC game with splitscreen?[/QUOTE] You could play splitscreen on the PC version of Left 4 Dead because Valve didn't take out the commands that let you do that from the xbox version.

[QUOTE=RichyZ;17959399]The weapons work by randomizing a bunch of stats (Electricity, fire, poison, ect) firing types (bouncing bullets, shotgun shell-like thing on non-shotguns) and then it randomizes the numbers for their stats.[/QUOTE] This results in a bazillion different weapons

Gearbox said that "The PC version won't be playable until the 26th - your retailer broke the street date :(". On their fucking twitter. I am seriously disappointed by Gearbox. They even said that "if there are going to be early releases, and those releases are legit (not mistakes) then the release date will have to be set back... [U]we won't screw people[/U]." I guess you every promise made by Gearbox is just a load of bollocks. When by the way did every fucking developer use twitter? Couldn't they've at the very least made a post in their own forums instead of using twitter for that?

I can't fucking wait 4 more days. Why unlock it on a monday ? Why not friday ? Then people can play all night long. For those who got school/work.

At least you get it on Monday. We have to wait until next Friday over here in Europe. :(

[QUOTE=Jugulum;17959597]At least you get it on Monday. We have to wait until next Friday over here in Europe. :([/QUOTE] Waiting until Christmas will make the game so much more exciting to play though.

Fuck 'em. No Borderlands till the 30th. :sigh:

[QUOTE=Wheeze201;17959527]I can't fucking wait 4 more days. Why unlock it on a monday ? Why not friday ? Then people can play all night long. For those who got school/work.[/QUOTE] Didn't that have to do with some graphs or shit every company gets on monday so it's best to release a game right in the beginning of a new week so they'll get a massive sales record. Also, about that borderlands early release which isn't going to happen: [b]Fuck[/b]. I do hope that for some reason they'll unlock it earlier for us EU guys.

Yeah the current EU release date is complete BS.

[QUOTE=Mulliver;17959701]Yeah the current EU release date is complete BS.[/QUOTE] This, I wish steam stuck to the US release :(

[QUOTE=jlj1;17959709]This, I wish steam stuck to the US release :([/QUOTE] Yeah it was "Released the 26th" for ~4 days for me. [editline]07:53PM[/editline] And then it changed followed by a FFFFUUU-

[QUOTE=Elexar;17959720]Yeah it was "Released the 26th" for ~4 days for me. [editline]07:53PM[/editline] And then it changed followed by a FFFFUUU-[/QUOTE] Well you live in the EU and they accidentally gave you the US date so what do you expect?

Dang, sorry but I'm not hoping that the game will unlock for us earlier because I'm not going to be able to play tomorrow and at the weekend. :ohdear:
