[Multiplatform] Borderlands - Shootan and Lootan

Awesome, this sounds like a plan. I'll hit you up at some point in a few days time. Apparently Mo0 has recently acquired the game too, so maybe we can get him involved too.

How ya doing, buddy?

Nutty, Yeldarb, and Zeroslash/RealPT1 also have it, and we've all got that viral achievement for playing with a Gearbox employee thanks to Zero. We should be able to assemble a team pretty easily.

Jam it back in, in the dark.

Yeah, apparently, the checkpoints are after every 5 ROUNDS, which means 25 waves. Basically meaning this: if you lose on let's say, Round 8, you have to start at Round 6, from what I've read.

This is definitely not an easy expansion compared to Zombie Island.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I recently bought Borderlands, and unfortunately none of my friends have it. I dunno if it's just me but it seems extremely hollow in single player. I'd be very interested in joining some of you in co-oping it if you don't mind. The only problem is, I'm in Australia so I reckon time zones may clash but maybe we can work something out.

It definitely helps to have people to play with, especially so that you can get into dune buggy and dueling hijinx with each other. But another thing I noticed is that the first part of the game is fairly slow, because the game focuses on character building, kind of like Diablo 2 or Torchlight. Once your build starts doing what you intended it to do, it becomes a lot more fun.

What system do you have it on?

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Coincidentally, I started playing Torchlight just before Borderlands. I found that pretty compelling from the start but Borderlands...not so much. It just seems like it was designed with multiplayer in mind.

I still have my level 50 Soldier on my 360. For the PC, none yet.

Probably some time if you're inclined, we can play.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

If that was directed at me then thanks, that would be great!

FELIPE NO

So have any of you PC players been having this problem?



Sometimes I can play for a couple hours or so with no issues, other times I can't go more than ten minutes. Once I didn't even make it to the title screen. Also, I tried uninstalling and reinstalling Borderlands, and since then I can't use my Zombie Island DLC anymore. I go to the Jakob's Cove loading screen and it asks me to activate it with the serial number. When I do it the progress bar goes to 30% and stops, giving me an error asking me to make sure my serial number is entered right. It's impossible that it's not because I copied it to the clipboard through Steam. Whether I hit retry or manual, the game crashes and I get that error.

I've tried using the DLCSetup in the Steam folder, and it acts like it works, but nothing changes. Any suggestions?

I've not experienced that, but back up your save files, delete the local content, and try re-downloading the game.

Tried that. Twice, in fact. I've tried compatibility mode, running as admin, reinstalling drivers, I've even heard windowed mode helps, but it's all the same.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Did you buy the DLC?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Yes, I did. Probably my first mistake. secuROM ruins everything.

Don't worry, it's on your computer even if you didn't buy the DLC!

I was speaking idiomatically.

Just when I thought I was done with Borderlands it seems they're going to be pulling ne right back in again soon. There's new DLC on the way and it's going to increase the level cap. Gearbox have apparently said that this is the biggest DLC they've done to date. If it's as fun as the existing DLC (and avoids Moxxi's crazy time requirement) then I'm 100% sold.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

You can definitely count me in if it's something with a story like Zombie Island. Mad Moxxie didn't interest me at all, but Dr. Ned was some of the best DLC ever.

FELIPE NO

FORSOOTH, KNAVES

I BRING NEWS OF A GOODLY TIDING



BEHOLD AND BE JOYOUS

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?

HOLY SHIT, IT'S ABOUT TIME

ARE THEY GOING TO PATCH CASTLE CRASHERS NEXT?

THE WONDERFUL MYSTERIES OF THE WORLD...

Most amazing jew boots

But is it ACTUALLY fixed?

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Did they add anything to make the game challenging enough that I'd want to go through it again with all my buddies I couldn't play with before?

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Would've taken this patch before the two DLCs, Gearbox.

Better luck next time on the priorities.

You can just edit the .inis if you want the game to be arbitrarily harder so uhhh

People are so helpless

"But I SHOULDN'T HAVE TO EDIT FILES"

go back to your xbox, men are working

while this seems to fly in the face of my YAY NO MORE PORTFORWARDING decree I should clarify that I don't mind forwarding ports

I mind forwarding ports and having it NOT HELP AT ALL

Honestly it's a game where you magically teleport to safety every time you "die", GRITTY CHALLENGE is probably something you should look for elsewhere

WHERE IS MY CHALLENGE BIOSHOCK

vvv I'm not sure what you expect a difficulty setting for a game like Borderlands to do other than crank enemy density/damage/health/accuracy up and down. You shoot the enemies and kill them or else they will kill you. That's kind of the whole game. If anyone was expecting something more than that I'm very sorry about your inability to watch trailers

I was speaking idiomatically.

Perhaps something on top of just cranking up HP numbers to make a game more challenging is what he was hoping for.

What kind of toxic man-thing is happening now?

Well, this is quite a surprise. Out of nowhere, Gearbox and 2K have announced on Monday that the 3rd expansion for Borderlands, titled "The Secret Armory of General Knoxx", will be available THIS WEEK!!

Tomorrow, to be more precise, for Xbox 360 and Thursday for Playstation 3. PC version, not 100% sure, since I don't own it on PC, but I'm sure it's coming soon for those who do have it.

It was actually supposed to be released today on Xbox Live, but a slight delay (no surprise, here) set it back a mere 24 hours. Honestly, no harm, no foul for me in the extra day's wait. However, I am getting a good laugh out of the mass on x360a who are going nuts about having to wait, especially those that were dumb enough to say they were skipping school and calling in sick from work to play it.

FELIPE NO

Ahahahaha owned so bad, now they have to work on the day it comes out

What, you don't want my bikini-clad body?
