BORDERLANDS 2 IS OUT :D

[Anon. E. Moose]

But that's because you were playing through a proxy/VPN, right? Not because the netcode is attrocious or anything.

...Right?

iirc, once it's unlocked it remains unlocked. At least it was that way with Dead Island, not sure if it's changed.

Yes because of the VPN
Not that you get told what your ping to the host, you just feel the lag and see the bullets as they leave your gun a second later.

And no, unfortunately you have to keep the VPN open to be able to play it. They have obviously changed the method of regional releases so that even after you've played and activated the game you can't in a different region where it isn't released yet.

I was tempted to VPN activate it but like Bickety etc said, it's not really worth losing all my games to try.

I'll be honest.....It's so good its almost worth it

So how do the enhanced Nvidia physics run? What sort of cards are people successfully running them with?

Can't answer this as I'm on a 2yo MBP. BUT for people on lower end systems, it runs about as well as BL1 but looks a fair bit prettier.

Wish I could test this out the enhanced details look insane

Running 2x 670's overclocked is handling the game nicely in 3d with the physx/graphics settings at maximum. Occasionally I'll drop down to near 30 fps, but it's only for short periods of time. In 2d, I still get the occasional frame drops, but 52 is the lowest I've seen it drop from the 120 it's at for 90% of the time.

I just asked EB's to break street date and he said no

How rude?!?!?

But seriously, he was a nice person and we joked about it, But decided the fine for EB's was not worth it >_>

However I am trying to get this Friday off as an RDO so I can put in some extra hours on the game

[Cas Bitton]

As expected this looks about 1000% better in motion, there are plenty of awesome visual effects that are hard to capture with screenshots. Like snow flakes passing through sun/moonlight and generating a beam. So awesome

I was disappointed with the character customisation, instead of choosing your own colors like in B1 you have to choose an outfit with an existing color scheme. Don't know why they did that

Didn't they brag about how much better it was?

[Auld]

There is a metric **** tonne of them and you collect more in-game, so they've turned them into trade-able loot.

Maybe the DLC's include some hats

They probably already have hats in the game, as there is a corresponding slot for head outfits (which you can get a free one if you have a borderlands 1 save).

[Auld]

Ahaha I already got the Sledge hat as it detected BL1 save games. I'd say almost certainly get new hats in the DLC.
