I have to play games with vsync, it's so annoying otherwise. I'd rather get full frames and have it be a bit slower than faster and have two different 1/2 images on my screen.
 
Just finished Playthrough #1. Lasted me 3 weekends, not bad, fun online play, enjoyed single-player more.

But umm... what the hell was the story? I heard the words Vault and Key. Aside from that I just followed the objective arrows.

story was finding the vault key and vault before the corporations find it. inside the vault are alien technology (erudian?), forgot the name. you get some of these weapons in the playthrough. they have unlimited ammo but you have to recharge the energy every time you fire.

in the end lies the twist (not going to say it for those that havent played it).

Ya, I found 3 of them. Two were crap, very slow but high damage weapons. The one I kept was a machinegun.

Not a big fan of them either. Besides I play as a soldier and there are plenty of mods that give ammo regeneration

Oh - and the skags can headbutt you off the map -> killing you 🙁
 
There's a new trailer out for the zombies DLC, it looks boring from the looks of it, I won't bother.

why not? isnt free for pc or are they starting to charge us now too for dlc.

I'm not quite sure to get what you mean. If you're referring to the price of the DLC, it's not a cause at all for me, I don't mind its price. I for one was referring to its game-play, at first glance, judging by the trailer, which for me doesn't seem to be amusing in any way, shape or form, it looks very generic, but I think that's because I've had enough of the zombies-infected games in the recent years, I would have preferred something different for Borderlands since contrarily to the developers I don't think that zombies fit in that game at all.

what i was getting at was its free anyway so might as well just play it and enjoy it. if its free, i wouldnt be complaining. now if i had to pay $$ for some extra boredom then no.. to each their own i guess.

It's not free, it will cost $10, it has been confirmed some time ago.
 
So Im finally about to beat the game, after 24 hours or so it tells me. But I dont have a 4x electro sniper, and those hovering guardians kill me fast. I remember passing up on one once, but cant find it again. How annoying.
 
So I beat it. Ending.. meh. Not sure what to do now, did my last mission. Now I have no mission so I went back to New Haven and quit the game.

Now play through "Nightmare" difficulty, which is also called "Next Game +" and "Playthrough 2."

You start over with your current character, back in Fyrestone, with all your gear, and everything is now level 37+ with Superbads and BadMutha that will kick your ass. Also, way better guns to find. Which is really what this game is all about:FINDING BETTER GUNS!

My coop buddies and I beat the story again in Playthrough 2, and when you do that, every single enemy becomes level 50+... and they HURT. Try fighting a whole colony of pissed off SpiderAnts when a Superbad Corrosive and Lightning SpiderAnt are running around along with all their friends, all levels 50 or 51. FUN and Chaotic.
 
i got the amazon version of the game (one that uses gamespy for MP in the game menu), is it possible for me to join a steam buddy's game?
 
I just got the amazon version too for $20. I found this tool on the gearbox forums to change your ini file which is good because no vsync is making this game fugly

Also do people use depth of field? I thought it just made the game look ugly
