If you don't have this, get it!

Then post about it in PC Gaming so we can get some AT games going.

It looks like a good deal. Been looking at this game since it's gotten decent co-op reviews.

If anyone is interested in splitting a 4-pack drop me a PM.

Is it that good of a deal? ([/ Thread crap]) I just saw the boxed retail version for $19.99 at BB already....

Sure it wasn't the expansion pack for $19.99? If not, I may jump on the Retail one from a local store instead.

Just wanted to say, marmasatt - I don't consider it a "thread crap" and if there's a better deal for this game, then please post it - and unless it's a deal at your local BB, their web price still has the game at $49.99 - and spacelord is correct, the add-on is $19.99.

It's all about getting the best deal.

I just bought the game, but none of my friends share my enthusiasm for it. If anyone wants to play, PM me. ; )

Do you guys think I should also buy the DLCs for $10? If they are going to stay at this price, I couldn't care less. I'll buy em later when I play through the core game. But if this is a special sale price, I think I'll buy em now...

You know what? I may be wrong. The add on content looks the same as the retail (w/ the guy putting his finger to his head?) I'd like to formally retract my thread crappage if that is the case.....

Having checked out the DLC recently, Ned's Zombie island and General Knoxx's Army are the only ones worth it to me. The Zombie one is too easy with the sniper on 2nd playthrough if you have the right weapons... Knoxx's Army is too hard. hehehe.

But maybe that's just me?

So Zombies: Fairly linear with a couple missions dragging your butt all over the place. Sniping is a little difficult since the zombies tend to waggle their heads when they walk. Incendiary weapons rule, there's a set of side-quest end characters that are pathetically week to fire (1 shot, 10 seconds of burning, then death). Has some good laughs thrown in too.

Knoxx: Level 48 Crimson Lance are badass. Maybe I just don't know how to handle them? 1st play-through of the main game it was 1 head-shot and it's over, 2nd play and they are *hard* ~5 headshots or more and they never sit still for long so you need to be good at sniping. Then there's the friggin assassins that come after you. Chicks on speed (and crank, and Jolt, and ...) the lead assassin on the first group would have ended it for me if she didn't have a glitch that I took advantage of. I'm enjoying it, but surviving is HARD for me.

Moxxies: It's just wave after wave of enemies with an occasional nerf applied (like everything but pistols gets nerfed (no I didn't have a pistol)). It's Borderlands meets Serious Sam with zero change in venue. Didn't like it.

Well... I've been playin a litle since yesterday, and so far I am no very impressed. Yes the loot is great, and the guns are very interesting. I love the cartoony gfx style.. Very unique and different from anything I played so far.

But this is where the pros end. Everything else is the cons.

Enemies respawn... Nice the 1st few times, extremely annoying every time afterward.
Quests extremely uninspired and boring.
I suppose when you have friends in RL that are willing to play this game with you it's one thing.. But random PUGS don't really work. Some people joined my game and while they absolutely slaughtered everything in their path, it was boring because they didn't reply to any of my messages, didn't do my quests unless they were in the way, and rushed through everything not allowing me to check out the scenery or read the description of the quest I was doing. I was just mindlessly following these folks picking up loot they left behind. I was really surprised that they weren't picking stuff up when I finally realized that bosses that were already killed seem to ALWAYS drop the same crap! That is ultra lame. Couldn't they add some variety so people can farm these?

Despite the fact that ammo seems plentiful, it actually runs out extremely fast and I constantly find myself out of ammo. This is ridiculous because this is probably the first game ever where I am running out of ammo. I am a big time hoarder and I use ammo very sparingly and carefully, but here there is just no way to save ammo...

Some enemies are way too tough. I kept fighting these.. muscular masked freaks, and despite having pumped just about all ammo I had into them, they still lived and eventually killed me two times almost in a row...

Vehicle control is absolutely horrific. I never played a game where vehicle control would be this bad.. WTF? Was it really so damn hard for the devs to do something about this?

If anyone wants to play, let me know. I am still far from giving up on this game completely, as of now.

That's interesting... I've not run into the problem of ammo running out (I play the sniper). I make a point of carrying at least 3 weapon types and bought all the ammo SDU's. At some point I picked up an ammo regenerating Combat Rifle and have never gotten rid of it because it does come in handy. There are also ammo regen class mods (haven't seen any for the sniper yet.)

The people running through the quest have obviously played the game before. You need to play through once single player so you too can just run through the quests

As for tough enemies, they all have weaknesses. Whatever that weakness they are even weaker to it in the head (skag's in the mouth, those spider things in the ass... )

I like the vehicle control. It's the best non-wheel method I've seen in a game that's not a "driving game"

The boss's that drop stuff do indeed drop an item that is the same basic item. It is possible to get one that is stronger. On the other hand I like that you don't camp bosses to get neat loot. You can play the game through in the same amount of time and have more fun and get pretty cool stuff on the way.

Solid deal, this game has held it's price longer than expected so it's good to see it on sale.

You know, I think my problem is that I am playing as a Siren, and that seems to be a very specialized class where you need to know what you are doing. I think I will try a Soldier or a Sniper today and maybe come back to the Siren later..

Wow, yeah... she seems like a tough character to play and I never touched her. I started the game with the sniper since that's my play style to begin with. After getting all the way to Old Haven on 2nd play through and getting stopped by the Lance I started a soldier. The soldier is pretty cool, but since I rarely used the Bloodwing skill on the sniper, I am always forgetting about using the turret and it probably could make things easier to remember.
