BORDERLANDS - like Fallout 3 but with cars and MAXIMUM PWNAGE OMGWTFLOLNEWB FPS combat

Yeah, unfortunately that usually happens when the same publisher/developer is doing the Mac version that did the Windows version, usually indies. The one exception I can think of is Civ 4 (Take Two/Aspyr). Don't think Feral Interactive has put any Mac titles up on Steam.

Trying this out now.

Okay, I got the online component to work. Anybody wanna play a game?

what are you playing on?

Steam/gamespy?

nice, hit me up on steam sometime
http://steamcommunity.com/id/nhex/

ok, on there

friended, though i can't play tonight

uh.... ?

gg kingfish - let's play again next weekend

Not sure when we were cut off before, but to finish my thought - I think the other characters are definitely worth playing as (well, maybe not Soldier, he's pretty boring), I'm not sure about doing extra runthroughs with them unless you really want to get the better gear. But after beating the game in SP, it's only really worth it to still play the game in MP, it's a lot more exciting with the multiplied spawn rates, reviving, better drops, etc. The single player content is nice but pretty much exhausts itself after one playthrough.

u guys are playing on steam, right? i'm always up for a game over the 360. i never beat it (and don't remember what level i was at) but i'd be willing to start from the beginning with someone. and i recently got a sweet microphone for the 360 so we could chill!

NG+ in general is so much better than the first go thru, mostly because it's insanely hard. i didn't finish it again in SP or MP but got a good chunk of the way thru on both and it was a ton of fun.

i never tried NG+, maybe after i get the DLC (go on sale already!)

up for another game tomorrow kingfish?

Maybe.

oops. wound up food-shopping/cooking/reading/exercising tonight. damned real life, it always intrudes.

no prob

ok. i got all the DLC now - as a gentleman samurai might say, i'm loaded for bear

anyone here getting the sequel? I'm not sure if i'm gonna go in at launch with this or wait until the inevitable GOTY edition next year. also, I think I'll go 360 this time, as my computer could juuust run the first one.

Yeah, I'll get the sequel I reckon. I never did much of the DLC for the first one; just downloaded the last DLC so that I could raise the level cap to the max before playing through all of the main story line. Loved it, and would have loved to play multiplayer co-op as I've been told that's awesome, but didn't really get a chance to.

I'm sure the 2nd, like the 1st, will make me annoyed that I don't have the kind of time to devote to multiple play-throughs to try out all of the different classes.

damn, that's right, i never even played the DLC after getting it *smacks self*

I'll pick it up eventually

i'll get it if we can get a group of ilxors to play thru it together. i could never find anyone to play the first one w/ me

yeah i am all over this, one of few games i'm really looking forward too

First one is Free-to-play all weekend on Steam, if anyone hasn't played it, and isn't sure they'll dig it.

got this.

srsly missed opportunity to call it Morederlands imo

god that was terrible

go sit in a corner.

conned the dude at gamestop into giving me the preorder codes so i guess i have a bunch of shit plus a fifth character class that will roll out later called the mechawizard or some shit? w/e it will prob cost money so hey free stuff for me

yeah, it'll be $10 when it comes out in a month

Just had the depressing realization that is the first non-downloadable game I have purchased from 2012

how does one con a gamestop dude?

i wonder if we should set up co-op times for this for folks when they finally get it

Just had the depressing realization that is the first non-downloadable game I have purchased from 2012

missing the point i know but it is in fact available for download

been playing OG Borderlands for the first time via PS+. its ok? the menu system is a bit crappy. i like the rpgish numbers popping up when you shoot stuff. is there more to it than "go there and shoot dude" for the whole game? cos i get bored of that kind of game pretty quickly.

uhoh.

put in a few hours last night and i uh im not sure i like B2 very much? i remember thinking it was kind of lame that the first one didnt have any voiced npcs, but now that i have heard the script and the actors they have chosen, i rescind that criticism, because this first dude with the robot arm and leg is the worst shit ever.

Haha no never mind this is the best shut ever, just needed to bang my way through some dumb early quests

jjj if you see me on there please feel free to jump in my game ... if you don't mind watching me miss everyone I shoot at.

Will do! Note: I do not have a headset because I ended up yelling at 12 year old bigots to often in multiplayer.

yeah i don't do headsets either.

you don't headset with randos!

My headset doesn't work right, so it doesn't really matter either way.

headsetting is half the charm of xbl

i assume it's more charming when they aren't killing you over and over again

ok let me share a big huge flashing pay attention warning here - this game only supports a single simultaneous playthrough. so if like me you get drunk and think, hey maybe i should check out one of the other characters, you start back at square one with no way to revert to your original game. fucking infuriating.

oh never mind, there is a select character option on the front page, i am an idiot, carry on.

lol

even though this is exactly the same game over again, there are a host of small tweaks and touches throughout that aggregate to make it a really worthwhile sequel and i am very much enjoying it so far

Hahahaha hilarious insulting dubstep joke, god I love this game.

Starting a new play through with new free mechromancer character download I got thx to getting hooked up with fraudulent GameStop preorder.

taking advantage of the "girlfriend" skill tree??

i have the siren character for mp - the special ability works out a treat but i am not too hot on the skill tree so far - and the commando for sp, cos the turret is super helpful on your own.
