Borderlands 2

Potential-Monke · 30-08-2012 3:57pm

Christ i'm going to be broke come November... €120 for the loot edition of this, €120 for the AC3 with statue and €200 for the Prestige Edition of Blops2...

And add the want of a completely new uber-powerful rig to play this on and i don't think my mortgage will be paid by xmas... Those visuals are beautiful with the PhysX.

Im conditioned now to fancy effects in games especially FPS ....i go WOW for about 10 seconds then shoot everything and not even notice them anymore.

Borderlands using Unreal Engine 3 so every PC ever will be ale to run it superbly.

Out of interest how many of you are getting this for Pc ?

Because I bought Borderlands 1 but didn't have anyone to team up with

Wing126 · 01-09-2012 2:25am

Man, I'd love the Loot Chest Edition. Wish I could actually get money from trading in games, I'd get it in a heartbeat!

I bought Borderlands on Xbox, played through it once and traded it in. Wasn't so keen on part 2 till today when i watched a few videos i went straight onto steam and bought it

That PhysX is glorious!

Well of course I'm getting it for the PC. Why would I want to buy it for sub standard gaming devices like Xbox or PS3?

Wow that was just brilliant!! The futurama take my money pic is way too over used but would be totally justified here.

I love how hammerlock has broken glasses from saluting himself with his robotic arm.

Had resigned myself to having to get this on the xbox, but seems the specs are relatively low.

My pc has the following:

Intel Core Quad 8200 @2.33GHZ
4 GB Ram
GeForce 9600GS

According to this site: http://www.game-debate.com/games/index.php?g_id=2287&game=Borderlands%202 I should be able to run it, no idea how reliable that is though....so should I gamble and get it on the pc, or play safe and get it on the xbox?

Gunmonkey · 02-09-2012 10:07am

"....but anyway, lets talk violence!"

Yes, lets

Man cant wait for this. that vid needed more CL4P-TP though

ShadowHearth · 02-09-2012 10:50am

according to that video they took borderlands 1 and set it on "11". Looks great and i love all new locations.

one thing i really like about it - split screen. i am getting PC collectors edition, but i will be getting console version too to play with buddy later on.

Was wondering the same, i could go splitscreen with my son instead of buying him a second copy on PC.

it would be still cheaper 2xpc versions though. and you both know that you will have better experience on pc

in my case, my buddy is not a pc gamer and not a big gamer at all, but we had a lot of fun on weekend with some beer and re5.

It'll run fine on that. Your graphics card is more than up to the task. The first Borderlands ran very well for me on a min-spec laptop.

grizzly · 03-09-2012 4:56pm

Have they made comparing guns any easier? I always got confused looking at guns with lower damage but more X7 or whatever (wait, was that multiplier for headshots?!

).

I used to use the price of the gun to decide what I kept.

You meant the elemental damage multiplier? It's all covered here:
http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Elemental_Damage

Yes, it's quite complex. But I liked that as it encouraged experimentation with the different guns. No need for games to dumb everything down IMHO.
I hope they keep it in Borderlands 2, or something similar.

PerrinV2 · 03-09-2012 6:22pm

Just a quick question guys,I'm about to get borderlands and I'm just wondering does anything transfer from the 1st game to the 2nd like in mass effect?
Might change what system I'm getting it on

Anyone · 03-09-2012 7:18pm

Well pre-ordered, just got to wait for the date now, I went and bought Borderlands 1 just to check if it runs on my pc(I had completed it on the xbox) and it runs pretty well, havent any issues at all.

I have started replaying it though after a few years away...because...well...you know...its Borderlands

There is ment to be "rewards" if BL2 detects a BL1 game save even if it's not a finished game save file. I think that is for the 360 and PS3 only. Don't know about the PC version.

Zero-Cool · 04-09-2012 4:37pm

I just preordered this on Gamesnash.ie. Have to finish Sleeping dogs before it gets sent out but I dunno how I'm going to juggle this, Fifa and Resi 6.

Don't buy Resi 6... That would solve a lot.

Capcom don't deserve your (anyone's) money :pac:

Believe me, I feel the same about Crapcom but my gf who rarely plays games is gonna play through co-op with me as she really enjoyed Resi 5 and I can't complain as it gets me more gaming time

Any pc owners preorder the game for cheaper than 37 euro?

Yeah. Just preordered it with Amazon the other day. Dont mind not getting it on launch day. The Monday or so after that will be alright with me but then again the delivery to me will be quicker since I'm in the UK.

Amazon will cost you €32 for a boxed copy and you get the Premier Club DLC with that too, as with most preorders.
B2PClub._V144942801_.jpg

Digitally, I'm not sure you'll get it cheaper than €37
Right, Just saw on GreenManGaming that you can get 25% off the game (or any other game for that matter) bring the price down to £22.50 (€28.50) making it the cheapest, either digitally or in a boxed copy as far as I can see.
Just use this code at the checkout to get the 25% off it.

Wing126 · 05-09-2012 12:22am

I hate that there's an extra character class for pre-order's only. I know it'll eventually be released as DLC for everyone else, but I hope it's free.

It's already been confirmed to coest $10 in the US so I doubt it will be free over here.
http://www.joystiq.com/2012/09/04/borderlands-2-mechromancer-available-october-16-for-10/

Also, apparently Randy Pichford has already confirmed that there will be 4 DLC packs in around the same price he quoted for the character class.

Borderlands 2's Mechromancer DLC should be available October 16 for $10. Eurogamer reports Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford dropped the current date and price estimate this weekend at PAX Prime.

The Mechromancer will be the fifth playable class in Borderlands 2, which you can still get bundled at no extra cost with a pre-order of the game. Publisher 2K Games also recently announced there are four $10 DLC packs planned for the game by next June, which are also available through a $30 "Season Pass." Immediate upsell, upsell, upsell.

Headshot · 05-09-2012 12:28am

thanks alot kearneybobs. Maybe im blind but where did you get the 28.50 price from?

Ah crap, sorry. Since I'm in the UK, I'm being quoted in her majesty's pounds. did a direct currency conversion from that. I have a feeling they are trying to sell it to you for €50 before the 25% off, no? Sorry for getting your hopes up if that's the case.
Unless you know of a way to get charged in pounds then it might be best to stick with the boxed copy with Amazon.
On a side note, I'm really tempted to get Hitman from them for £20 using that offer I mentioned above.

Tiny bit tiffed at that since I'm not getting it at launch but what can ya do? Cheers man!

Kiith · 05-09-2012 8:37am

I won't be able to get it at launch either, but i don't really mind not getting the new character. Will be playing as the Zer0 and either Maya or Axton anyway.

Just looking at the character info on the wiki page. Love Axton's

Axton wrote:

Likes - Using his Sabre turret to support his fellow vault hunters.
Dislikes - Cats.

05-09-2012 11:10am

I've preordered it from a shop, to collect on launch day, though just the standard edition. Will the extra character class be available to me or is that only online purchases?

Thanks for that, it's showing as €49.99 on GMG, which would leave it at €37.50 after the 25% off!
Still cheapest I've seen!

"Firing increases accuracy"

One of those with increased damage would be nice...

Zero-Cool · 06-09-2012 9:46am

I will definitely be keeping an eye out for this one:

Kiith · 06-09-2012 10:21am

Nah, it's got to be a flesh burning orange sniper rifle for me.

Zero-Cool · 06-09-2012 10:41am

Out of all the snipers, that is the nicest!

06-09-2012 10:43am

Damnit, now I can't read this thread as I'm trying to stay away from anything about the guns.

Well there are 87 Bazillion guns so I'm sure you will still have a surprise or 2

grizzly · 06-09-2012 11:05am

Do weapons have a max range? I was playing the first game yesterday, using a pistol to take out a turrent past it's max range.

Fibrescale · 06-09-2012 11:26am

Really love the style of the guns and the game for that matter, when I saw Borderlands 1 I was kind of skeptical of the cartoony style of the game but grew to love it.

Wing126 · 06-09-2012 11:41am

I like that sniper rifle, That is a nice sniper rifle.
