[quote=hunter_killah;17927082]lol, bestbuy changed their arrival time at 10/26/09.[/quote] FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU- /caps

Those fuckers, I was looking forward to at least downloading the game. Quick, someone go to Best Buy and try to buy it, I'm sure at least one person isn't aware of the change [I]somewhere[/I]

[QUOTE=Octo pie;17927128]so I ask again, how does the co-op work? Can you just jump into a game with random people through some server list or do you have to have friends?[/QUOTE] Sounds like someone doesn't have any friends. :v:

[QUOTE=hunter_killah;17927082]Lol, Bestbuy changed their arrival time at 10/26/09.[/QUOTE] Haha, yes yes yes.

Borderlands is sitting on my desk taunting me, it's not supposed to be out until Friday, but I've got it, but I can't play it until I get to an Xbox. Also I am ill.

You know, better graphics and stuff.

Ah, I see. Get well soon and get ye ol' Boxy. What's happened to it anyway?

But seriously, don't you have a friend with an Xbox or something?

[QUOTE=hunter_killah;17927082]Lol, Bestbuy changed their arrival time at 10/26/09.[/QUOTE] Shit.

haha now you're even just like the rest of us.

I want it naow.

[QUOTE=Mulliver;17927898]I want it naow.[/QUOTE] You can wait.

I think it's just kind of a bullshit move that they pulled by changing the date less the 24 hours before the thing went on sale. If you're going to intentionally break a release date, at least stick to it. Maybe it'll be available in the store, but there's no way it's going to be available online anymore.

Frankly this whole 'hey lets release the PC version a week later so people buy the console version' is what is bullshit.

[QUOTE=Molokk;17926935]I for one would certainly be jumping in joy, honestly. The only 3D FPS game in recent memory I can think of in which there's a true seamless world is FarCry 2, and it ended up being a huge disappointment, but its actual game world was just tremendously smooth to navigate in, once the main loading screen is gone you just don't load any "zones" anymore, there are two maps, and that's it, the rest is loaded at once and voila, you're done, if I'm not mistaken each of both maps are 25 km squared, and that's all ready to be explored at once, no extra loading after the main one is done, that in my book was amazing, too bad the actual game-play was overly repetitive and boring overall. And to some extent there's Crysis, of course, but Crysis still functions with "maps", BUT the maps DO follow themselves in a geographically logic manner, and the map sizes you can make in the Crysis editor are simply gargantuan (I've tried it myself, I know it, I just made flat terrain and tried to use the largest sizes possible, it was mind blowing), the actual game itself had "small" maps in comparison to what can actually be done, so FarCry 2 and Crysis I would say, the rest are "illusions" of seamless worlds (especially Morrowind, Oblivion and Fallout 3, due to the engine being the same at its roots for all three despite the enhancements for each following titles, the cell system remained there, although Fallout 3's cells CAN be bigger than in Oblivion). SO... all that to say that IF the PC version of Borderlands ends up having a real seamless world, then I would definitely be a happy panda.[/QUOTE] Thanks for putting my exactly equal thoughts into words. I love reading your responses, they're big but are nice to read and they make sense as well. [editline]03:56PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Stickmna;17927948]Frankly this whole 'hey lets release the PC version a week later so people buy the console version' is what is bullshit.[/QUOTE] This reason is fucking stupid, plus the reason of 'piracy lolol' is a load of crap too. It'll happen anyway, and the only thing they achieve now is people who pre-ordered the PC version getting angry.

Oh well. We'll be able to pre-load it so I don't mind.

[QUOTE=Dr Nick;17928420]Oh well. We'll be able to pre-load it so I don't mind.[/QUOTE] [I]when?![/I]

[QUOTE=Stickmna;17928578][I]when?![/I][/QUOTE] Before it's released. Probably on the 24th.

[QUOTE=Dr Nick;17928618]Before it's released. Probably on the 24th.[/QUOTE] God damnit, they can't even give us the luxury of looking at the pre-loaded message on steam while flapping our hands wildly in excitement. You guys do that too, right? and make airplane noises?

Okay i just pre-ordered the game. I hope it's really good!

[QUOTE=Elexar;17929135]I'm ground control.[/QUOTE] And I'm NORAD. Not the same thing, I hope :biggrin:

So, did the download version of Borderlands, on Best Buy, release early or not?

Wait, I thought you could play it without doing co-op if you wanted? Nobody I know is getting this game so, like, fuck co-op. Also reviews are getting kinda meh... [url]http://www.metacritic.com/games/platforms/xbox360/borderlands[/url]

Just called the Gamestop near my house. They only have one copy left out of the twenty they got today. I asked about the PC in hopes of them leaking it and they said not today. :sigh:
