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

[QUOTE=Dlaor;17973477]I just read a review about it. They said it didn't have 3.000.000-something guns, more like 100. They said they got the same guns pretty often... They also said that after 40 hours you've seen everything, and gave it a 75/100. Son, I am disappoint.[/QUOTE] I read about someone getting pissed since he couldn't re-find that gun he accidentally lost, so I think it truly differs between everyone.

[QUOTE=PieClock;17973493]There is a [b]fuck-ton[/b] more than 100.[/QUOTE] That might be true, but they said most of them are so similar you won't notice the differences. Maybe a 0.1 second faster reload speed or 2 extra damage or something.

[QUOTE=angelangel;17973196]Excuse my ignorance but, does RAM really have an effect on the frame rate? I have 2 GB of RAM, going to 'upgrade' to 5 GB of RAM, how much difference will this make.[/QUOTE] You could increase your page memory, it will allow Windows to use part of its hard drive space as RAM.

[QUOTE=StormHammer;17973515]You could increase your page memory, it will allow Windows to use part of its hard drive space as RAM.[/QUOTE] Except that is a shit and inefficient way around it when RAM is cheap anyway

2GB of RAM should be fine to run it even if you're on Vista but who knows. I had 2GB when I was back on XP 32-bit and played almost all new games just fine but Win7 64-bit I use 6GB because I tend to multi-task.

[QUOTE=ambushsabre;17961854]Everyone who wants them to release slightly earlier send an email to: [email]usa@take2support.com[/email] It's take2 causing the problem, not Gearbox.[/QUOTE] [QUOTE=Take2] [email]usa@take2support.com[/email] to me show details 4:29 AM (6 hours ago) Dear XXXX, Unfortunately we at the technical support do not have influence with the release dates. I have passed your comments on to the correct department. Kind regards, Kim Technical Support [/QUOTE] :downs:

Son, I am disappoint.[/QUOTE] Bullshit, there are millions of guns, I think they set a couple to re-appear several times with slightly different stats. Guns at the beginning of the game seem fairly similar though, but I've only had one identical dupe, at level 6. Also, as brick, I have a legendary pistol with x4 acid power, which has a level 25 restriction, and I have an artifact that sets people on fire when I punch them. It's awesome. [editline]04:32PM[/editline] Also, because I got the game a week early, the first game I played online I got the "And they'll tell two friends" achievement.

[QUOTE=Dakarun;17973693]Haha, I have that same pistol, but with x4 burn... god it's sooo powerfull![/QUOTE] Awesome, where'd you find yours?

[QUOTE=Sh33p;17973708]Awesome, where'd you find yours?[/QUOTE] Arid Badlands, on a mountain outpost of bandits. Near the arena where you go agianst skags.

[QUOTE=hunter_leader;17973596]:downs:[/QUOTE] What's wrong with waiting 5/4 more days?

[QUOTE=angelangel;17973873]What's wrong with waiting 5/4 more days?[/QUOTE] three days and three hours for US. should release on monday at around 2:20 PM. :smith:

[QUOTE=angelangel;17973873]What's wrong with waiting 5/4 more days?[/QUOTE] Because we could be playing it over the weekend, rather than waiting 4 or 5 more days to play it during the weekend, some of us have jobs and school. The release date is very inconvenient.

[QUOTE=kyle877;17973906]three days and three hours for US. should release on monday at around 2:20 PM. :smith:[/QUOTE] I am expecting some sort of information today from 2k/ GB about the mess, could be an early release, or it would be nothing other than; FUCK YOU AND FUCK YOUR RETAILERS, ENJOY THIS ON MONDAY. Also, I live in the US, but I reloaded it from an Ireland location. I still get it on the 26th, right?

[QUOTE=hunter_killah;17973976]Because we could be playing it over the weekend, rather than waiting 4 or 5 more days to play it during the weekend, some of us have jobs and school. The release date is very inconvenient.[/QUOTE] Pretty much this. I have work AND school and can't play much during the week. EDIT: What forum are you guys reading for this information? If you could drop a link here I'd appreciate it.

[QUOTE=hunter_killah;17973976]Because we could be playing it over the weekend, rather than waiting 4 or 5 more days to play it during the weekend, some of us have jobs and school. The release date is very inconvenient.[/QUOTE] Such a waste of my free week from school. :(

[quote]The activation server will not go live until the 26th, so I do apologize for any inconvenience that you have with the game.[/quote] Yeah...

[QUOTE=DaKakis;17974054]Such a waste of my free week from school. :([/QUOTE] LoL, that sucks. But then again some might say that playing games during a free week would be a waste . . . I wouldn't say that, but some would.

Putting DRM on that not even the developers can have an effect on.[/QUOTE] Ouch.... this is gonna piss a lot of people off. 2k has probably just found themselves ousted from PC publishing, and I wouldn't be surprised if the pirates have the game tomorrow, 2 days before paying customers. EPIC FAIL, no?

For people who are wondering why they don't have CD-Keys: [quote] Electronic CD-Key for secure online gaming: Electronic CD-Key is a new SecuROM™ function based on n-CD technology. The application replaces serialisation codes on stickers applied on retail games boxes, saving games publishers material and handling costs, and users inconvenient manual input. Each disc is assigned a unique invisible identification number. The code is read by the computer drive and initiates an automatic access to online gaming. As the technology is backwards compatible, virtually any computer drive can read the data. Ensuring that codes are safe, Electronic CD-Key lets the widespread method of unauthorised access to codes in stores come to an end, as they can't be seen anymore. JoWooD Productions Software AG will be the first games publisher to apply this convenient technology to the global games release "Soldiers" which will hit stores in May. [/quote]

[QUOTE=Kwal;17974563]For people who are wondering why they don't have CD-Keys:[/QUOTE] So I guess you won't be able to use the same copy to place online for multiple computers at once huh?

I doubt many devs will ever let 2K publish their games anymore, they just screwed gearbox over big time

2k has gone on my long.. long list of DRM dicksucking queefburgers

According to Miss Elizabeth of 2k... "Hey guys, Yesterday we learned that a fraction of the PC copies of Borderlands were accidentally sold to consumers in some countries but that gamers could not activate their copies yet. Since we learned of this problem, we have been looking into the issue to find the best possible solution for everyone. I'm going to be completely honest with you guys right now. It is not possible for us to move the planned release date of the game forward. We could not possibly get the games into stores worldwide and out for digital distribution any earlier than planned. Less than 1% of all copies were sold, and if we unlocked the game today, illegal versions would most likely appear on torrents by the evening. I am sure all of you want our PC launch to be as successful as possible, and we simply won't be able to manage that any earlier than already planned. I want to apologize for those of you who have gotten the game ahead of our release date, and ask for your patience and understanding. The game will be ready in the US and Canada at midnight eastern standard time on Monday, October 26th, and internationally by Friday, October 30th. -Elizabeth " [editline]05:11PM[/editline] While I am not pleased with this, it lays my mind to rest knowing I've got to wait until monday. Better than being tossed up in the air.

[QUOTE=angelangel;17973299]Funny thing now when I have my own debit-card, I find myself not spending on even the most tempting because I never want to see my bank balance fall below a certain number. ಠ_ಠ[/QUOTE] Same here, I really wanna buy this game, but I can't really part with that much money.

There are more than likely no "optimizations" and holding it back until Monday just means they are holding the pirates back until Monday then it will be released to torrents anyways, good game 2K.

What are the reasons for having staggered release dates? If there is no changes.

Looks like im still waiting till the 30th. :sigh:

[QUOTE=Dakarun;17973783]Arid Badlands, on a mountain outpost of bandits. Near the arena where you go agianst skags.[/QUOTE] Wait, did you find it on that nest of huts and things built onto the side of a mountain, in a chest full of high level pistols? If so, is there always a legendary in there?
