lol really?

just the other day I was comparing xbox 360 borderlands to my pc

720p, 30fps, tearing, low quality graphics, no anti aliasing, no anisotropic filtering, stupid long load times

vs

1080p, 60fps, vsync, high quality graphics, anti aliasing, 16x anisotropic filtering, near instantaneous load times
Plus Keyboard and Mouse.


Preordered as I love the previous two games.

There are many other game who deserve $60 price for example Evolve,Dragon Age inquisition,Witcher 3,Assassins Creed Unity,Far cry 4,Project cars,Shadow of Mordor,Lord of fallen,Aline isolation and many more but Borderlands Pre-Sequel does not deserve to have a $60 price tag because only AAA games get that price tag.

This is a strange post. For example why is Far Cry a AAA series but not Borderlands? Pretty sure Borderlands 2 far outsold Far Cry 3...

Is it not AAA because you don't like it? That's not what defines AAA.

Well, my OP was math fail, since it was 10% off not 10.00, but anyway, I went ahead and bought the game on Steam, since I have Steam gift cards I got for my birthday. Really should have waited for a sale, but since I havent paid full price for a game in a while, I went ahead. Hope I dont regret it.

Sable, I agree about physX, at least in BL2. I have an AMD card, but use the cpu physX hack, and turned it off. Just found the sparkle and glitter to be really lame looking and a distraction from the gameplay.

I picked it up for 27 bucks on ebay, got plenty of play time out of BL1-2, I know that I will get many hours out of it.

lol. Speaking as an Nvidia owner, Physx sucks. It just looks crap in borderlands and adds nothing.

But as it's a plus point against the console peasants I'll allow it. ;)

Wow....Really...Are you talking just borderlands or borderlands 2???Cause the particle effects in Borderlands 2 are Awesome.

They had something like that in BL2, but it only worked in multiplayer. Hope they change that this time.

What was it they had in BL2?

All I remember is Tina Tina's DLC, throwing your weapons in that hopper and that guy saying " I give you......these chumps"

It was some obscure thing after you killed a constructor, there was some kind of pit that you could put two weapons in and get a better one, but it only worked in multi player.

I tried turning PhysX on in BL2 once. Never again. It looked absolutely atrocious, it was like everything exploded into tiny shreds of paper.

So are there any active deals to get this pre-ordered for less than $59.99? I told myself I was going to hold off for a couple of months but I feel my will evaporating the closer we get to release.

I am in the same boat as you. I want to hold off but given my love for Borderlands in general its going to be hard. Decisions... decisions...

It is full price for the game, 59.99. Since the developer made a point of it being a smaller game than BL3 would have been, I was hoping for a cheaper price. At least you get 10.00 off on steam if you own BL1 or BL2.

What an insult, that price. I won't bother until it's $20.
