Explain. Is it the gameplay or the graphics that are throwing you off? It was #1 at PAX, so it would be impossible for it to be "awful" in general.

Ahaha, so naive.

Name one highly anticipated game at any PAX that failed? Given the developer's history and media talk about Borderlands, not to mention the respect it got at PAX, I cannot see myself being disappointed. I've been hyped since 2007 for this game and I can't wait to go pick it up on release.

Uh, just have one or two xbox controllers plugged in and a decent sized monitor, and it wouldn't be any different.

I play on PC so I don't have to use those gimpy controllers. Not that it matters to me, this game looks awful.

seriously. considering i have a 1080p monitor, i would not mind hooking up controllers to play with my roommate, seeing as i don't have an xbox, nor will i purchase one

No. I like my retail packaging and manual.

If it wasn't on Steam I would do it, but it is.

 

[Nebor]

I'll go in on a 4 pack. PM Me!

 

[Jules]

Anyone wanna set it up?

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

If anyone is going to buy a 4-pack, I'll shoot you over $35 for a copy. PM if you're sitting on a spare copy, I'm in.

Looks great. I don't get why there's so much hate for the graphics. I personally don't need every game to look like real life. >_>

I love the look of Crysis no less than I love the look of TF2. This game still looks ass.

This.

Crackdown was awesome, and it had a similar look. I have no problem with how it looks personally. I have seen enough uncanny shit to last me a lifetime, when a company goes outside the box and creates their own art style, that impresses me. Hopefully the rest of the game holds up as well.

Also, this won Best of PAX and people who have had hands on with it think it rocks, so I gotta think it's at least somewhat enjoyable. Randy Pitchford has been chomping at the bit for years to make a game that wasn't just a port of another game, and this is GB's first one, so I'm pretty excited to see what they have to offer. I'm hoping it sells well on the PC so there are a lot of peeps to group up with.

Just an FYI for Twitter users, if you send http://twitter.com/mikeyface proof of purchase (pic on TwitPic) and your Steam ID, he'll add you as a friend, play with you once the game is out and hook you up with free guns.

Have nothing against the Graphics, Game just looks Spammy to me.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

OXM gave the 360 version an 8.5 http://img340.yfrog.com/i/70z.jpg/

Not bad by any stretch, and I expect the PC version to be better based on what Randy Pitchford has said.

Atomic Games apparently gave it a 91%, but I haven't seen any actual proof of that yet.

Need one more person for a 4pack buy if anyone is interested. Just PM me.

 

[Golgatha]

I've got 2x left from a 4-pack Borderlands Steam purchase. PM me if interested.

I'm down for a piece of that Borderlands action.

 

[taurengod]

PM sent.

Meant to reply to Golgatha.

 

[Krakn3Dfx]

Good to see a lot of people buying the game, hopefully it means we'll have a lot peeps online to play with when it hits.

I'll be Krakn3dfx in-game and also on Steam, so feel free to add me to your friend's list once the game is out!
