    there was a comment somewhere in one of the videos I saw that the storyline is bigger than B1 but not quite size of 2...
    so there should be a lot more area than we've seen so far

  • This could have easily been DLC. Is this going to be fully priced at retail?

    The game is 10-12 hours long if you just blast through the story missions, has four new playable characters, a new fully voiced acted script, new gameplay mechanics and all new environments. How on earth could it have easily been DLC? :confused:

    As an aside, it's not a full priced release, it's £30 on PC and console via Steam, Amazon and other retailers.

    I agree it was not going to be a DLC.

    Still and all, PC releases are generally so cheap and plummet in price so much quicker than console that I actually consider €30/£30 to be "full price" for PC

    (that being said it's £30 on PS3 and X-Box too)

    It's list as 59.99 US on PS3 and Xbox stores,

    Any fan of the series would likey get 10 times that time from the game if it's as good as the others, hell I know the main reason I enjoy the games is not the story it's everything else. it's all about the lootz :pac:

    Weird, it's $59.99 from Gamestop US on all platforms but £32.97 on console and £22.97 on the PC from the UK site. Looks like our American brethren are getting the short end of the stick. :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75


    49.99 on Steam

    Claptraps random power moves make it worthwhile, altho when he Gunzerks everyone gunzerks is mental :D

  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    It's a First Person Shooter, why on earth would you play it on anything else? :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,405 ✭✭✭Lone Stone


    most of my friends pc's are to crap to play anything fun, so i tend to get some things to play with them ya know the filthy console peasant's !!! so anoying its not coming to ps4 tho ffs.


  • Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators Posts: 28,633 Mod ✭✭✭✭Shiminay


    Always a problem alright, I've long been a believer in "buy whatever system most of your friends have for multiplayer fun!" but that goes out the door when it comes to things that require a mouse and a keyboard to play properly like an FPS or an RTS.

    I'm still having a lot of fun playing Borderlands 2 tbh and see no need to get this game. It's in the "whenever they release the super mega all the DLC included edition and it's in a Steam Sale" category for me (probably next summer's sale I'd wager). I like the universe and the mechanics of the games and so I'm happy to get my hands on a third installment (Telltale's dip into the universe notwithstanding). Getting to play as ClapTrap will be an added bonus :D

    Ahhhhhh poo so thats what that was in the videos I saw of Nisha, I thought she could dual wield, it's in a lot of the videos, her with 2 pistols. So it was just a buff from that annoying robot???? :mad:

    From what I've read, she has a dual wield of sorts via a skill tree option.

    One for Each of Ya
    When using a Pistol, you get an exact copy of that gun in your off hand. While using Ironsights you shoot with your main hand only.

    Ahhhhhhh that makes sense she had 2 maggies in all the ones I saw

    Edit: One of my pals in the US on Xbox live already has some .88 pistols set aside for me :D


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 20,558 ✭✭✭✭dreamers75


    Claptrap gunzerks with 2 guns the other players only have one but its infinite ammo whilst it goes on.

    The disco move is brilliant but should have been dubstep :D

    Clap Trap is the most annoying character in anything, ever. He is more annoying than Jar Jar Binks, Slippy Toad and people who play Priest in Heartstone. Put Together!


  • Administrators, Computer Games Moderators, Sports Moderators Posts: 32,396 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭Mickeroo


    Amazon have dispatched mine, should have it in about 2 weeks :pac:

    Ah it's been rare I've got anything from them that hasn't arrived by the tuesday or wednesday the following week , I'll save you some loot. Miss Calex is already playing and is busy naming and assembling her team of suitably named mules (all claptraps I'm told because "thats all the little S$%T is good for" ) for her and my lootz on the spare profile..... I'll be allowed to play "Sometime tonight" I'm told :(

    What's the logic behind Australia and Europe having to wait a few extra days for the release of this, does anyone know?

    Brick-and-mortar stores, perhaps? Why would this affect digital distribution?

    Yeah, I'm bitter.

    No reason other than traditional releases being on friday here and tuesday in the US , forget the reason behind those days , likley a throwback to music release and something to do with the charts :confused:


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,405 ✭✭✭gizmo


    Eurogamer did a feature on this a few years ago.

    Why are we stuck with games being released on a Friday?

    Took me forever to find the golden key loot chest. All that time spent entering shift codes and then just getting to Concordia only to spend an hour looking for it. I really wanted to spend some keys.

    Has there been any info on if you can redeem the shift codes online or through an app or anything? Hated getting key codes while at work during Borderlands 2 and not being able to redeem them.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    It detects your saves from the previous games you get a weapon, skin and moonstones for each BL1 and BL2 plus bonus moonstones if you have both :)

    Edit: Oh you now have to collect the golden keys from a machine for the loot chest, they won't automatically be given to a character.

    In the 1st area 3 side and one story mission done, said I'd look around spot a lava fall with a ridge to the side so up I go make my way through the cave that dead ends with a hole in the floor so down I go ......
    Boss called Iwajira is there to greet me
    lvl 30 I'm lvl 3, that didn't end well :D

    Missed the train where is that ?

    Just got my 1st laser weapon pew pew pew !!!! and it's Tediore and of course the 1st thing that happened was killing myself when opening a chest by reloading it :D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,126 ✭✭✭✭calex71


    Any one meet
    Nel
    I called him a d1ck as part of that quest and later while exploring near by found
    some letters you can put on a board that does the same
    don't do it
    he calls lvl 29 mobs
    another boss for later I guess.

    Edit : If you want to see it for yourself get up on top of the really tall building across from him and find the letter board.

    There is a mission Early on called Torgue-o I think it was, anyway probably best to accept it and not do it or do it but don't turn it in. You will see why ;)

    Looking forward to this. What are ye guys thoughts after a few hours? Waiting on my g2play pre order key which has not arrived yet. Ger!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,751 ✭✭✭✭degrassinoel


    it's not as good as BL2 (first impressions)- that said i've played like 2 hours of it and managed to pick a class i dont like..

    I dunno, it feels forced or something where in BL2 it was casually comical, again i may feel differently after another hour or two with a new character

    Having fun with it so far but ..... something feels off with the shooting in this or maybe its just me , playing on xbox but often you can be shooting and hitting nothing even at short / medium range, you could have the pointer on the enemy and go to scope or iron sights and it will be miles off them as in it will be up and to the left of them etc. :confused:

    Also I will almost put money on them nerfing the cooldown on Nishas action skill it's unreal short and thats out of the gate with no buffs from a class mod or anything.
