Borderlands golden

I wish this postal strike would end arrrrrrrgh!!!!

K-Thrilla: I'm thinking that they're thinking ahead, ship date is Oct.20 so actual shelf date with 1day shipping will have the game on store shelves by the 21st. Can't wait to get my hands on this game, with Demon's Souls allready in hand, Fairytale fights comming one week later and Dragon Age and Assassin's Creed 2 next month I'm going to be one busy gamer. Just hope I don't mix up my button use LOL

Whats up with the television trailer saying its coming out October 21st? Is that a mistake or do I have to wait another agonizing day for this game?

@shawn_mitchel do what you will...but you know that rage probably isn't going to be out for a year or more, right? i'm pretty psyched for that game as well...but unless you've found a way where you can save time that you don't waste now and use it for credit later, what's the harm in sinking hours into this or any other game? .... i'm just keeping my fingers crossed that rage will come out before diablo iii.

Great video :) looks like its worth picking up

Why do PC users have to wait an extra week for it to release?

@CrimsonKnight52 it's obvious that different people are going to have different opinions about the art direction this game has taken. to be honest, if it was only about the colors and the way the characters look, i wouldn't care either way. but i have seen in-game footage featuring the previous "realistic" graphical tone and the concept art style...and the way it used to be...it was boring. with millions of guns, copious amounts of blood, and 4-player co-op, this game's main selling point seems to be over-the-top FPS action. the graphics and interface, the way they were...they were reserved. muted. sorta boring. little ping over in the corner when you get experience or level up. .... have you seen the adverts for this game? they get you pumped. if they stuck with the old art style...adverts for the game would double as a sleep aid.

LMAO watching the vid

Like others, I think the graphics worked better before the shift to a cell shaded effect. I like action games and I like role playing, but I just can't get into this. With Brutal Legend, Halo 3 ODST, Batman, COD4, and Dragon Age, I just see too many other games on the horizon to waste my time with this.

@StaticInstinct you should be good, no need to update the card i run the same

i'll wait for Rage by id software and EA,....am not really comfortable about getting this Borderland. I'll prefare using up my scarce Time in Rage than in Borderland. Rage looks serious and action packed while Borderland seems to be plain Fun and Humor. It's just my opinion.........

your rig will run it mate dw

will my pc run this game? Intel(R) Core(TM) 2 Duo CPU E8200@ 2.66Ghz Nvidia Geforce 9600GT 2gb ram 500gb drive vista...thinking about updating my video card any suggestions? not over the top pricing plz lol

@ AdamWriter it depends on the reviews.........im low on cash and theres lots of other games i think will be better. MW2, uncharted among thieves, AC2, GOW collection.

@fps_d0minat0r Well, not much I can say to that. I just hope you don't pass this up on account of the fact that the graphics are cel-shaded. I actually like the graphics; I believe they work perfectly for the accent of the game.

payne: I've seen a lot of numbers say half a million and others say 16 million, not sure which is true but they said that you'll only find on average around 10-15 thousand weapons during a complete playthrough :) sony_patriot: That's not true, there are over 150 different creatures with unique models, here are just a few: Crimson Lance Bandits Alpha Skag Gyro Spiderant Rakk Rakk Hive Scythid Skag Pup Skagzilla Soldier Spiderant Those are 10 of the 150+

@ AdamWriter yes i have, the graphics are awful and the physics are average. having a million weapons wont make it better.

Fallout and Borderlands are totally different, even though they both did fps/rpg. Fallout is actually more comparable to ESIV than Borderlands.

"With Dragon Age: Origins pushed into November and Alpha Protocol delayed until 2010, Borderlands is now October's sole North American-developed role-playing game." LIES! You guys completely overlooked Torchlight that's being released on Oct 27, developed by Runic Games who are deffinitely a North American based company. Torchlight is an ARPG in the vein of Diablo and some of the dev team actually worked on Diablo. If you are interested in this genre hit up http://www.torchlightgame.com

Today I reserved this game and paid it fully, can't wait for Tuesday.

i wanna be a combination of all characters...RolaBrickLiliCai...I WANT THIS GAME SO BAD 8 MORE DAYSSSSSS!!!

@fps_d0minat0r Have you even looked at any of the gameplay videos? Look both ways before you cross the street.

only a half of million weapons (don't get me wrong thats a boat load of weapons) but I remeber reading early interviews and previews they promised over a million...but whatever I am still getting this game on launch day the visuals are ehh but the gameplay looks solid

This and Dragon Age make my holiday season complete. Should hold me over tidily until Mass Effect 2.

cant wait

why has the release date changed to october 23rd and then october 26th?

Haha, pretty funny video.

@dynomitemasta the term cheeky does not actually refer to poorly repressed mirth (and it's not an allusion to "tongue-in-cheek" humor, either). it means brutal: absolutely and unforgivingly brutal. it refers to a 14th century religious practice whereby heretics received a Church-sanctioned "cheeky reprisal" as consequence for sinning and wanton douchebaggery: their cheeks were carved out and fed to hungry dogs. the notion that it has anything to do with humor came around the same time; survivors of this brutal form of atonement lacked cheeks, and therefore appeared to smile much of the time. cheeky fellows. ... so, there you have it. this game will apparently be extremely brutal.

I hope the game won't be a Fallout clone. Look's promising though

hahahahahaha very funny! Games looks and sounds cool! Only one week!

sweet

Looks like a poor man's Fallout, but Gearbox is always solid. Still, it's hard to see this game finding a foothold amongst Halo, Uncharted, Ratchet, Modern Warfare, and all the other monsters.

That's a Great Upcoming ^_^

I've been waiting for this game for a while and it looks great but one thing that worries me is that good game (a australian gaming show) got a exclusive preview said the start was boring as all you did was fight skags, then more powerful skags, then boss skags and then all them mixed together.

borderlines change to a great look into a cartoon look whats not my kind of thing when it comes to shoot em up

gonna pass on MW2 for MAG. MAG should be great since the people that made Socom 2 are making it. Also waiting for RUSE. I hope this game is good, I'm really burnt out on fantasy MMOs. If this game isnt good the next MMO i play will probably be global agenda.

mmm, been waiting for this game since it was first announced in 07'

lol, video is rockin. hahahaha!

October is rounding out to be a nice month for gaming. We have OFDR,Demons Souls,Risen, Uncharted 2, Borderlands,Brutal Legend,Magna Carta 2,NBA2K10,DreamKiller,Vandal Hearts, Tekken 6 and FIFA '10 just to name a few. Of course...we have Dragons Age in November along with MW2 which is gonna eclipse every release this year. Both of these games are gonna break some crazy records. We also have LFD2 and AC2 as well as the re-release of the first 2 God of War games and Rogue Warrior for November. Not sure about the rest of you, but I know I'm gonna be a busy gamer for the next couple of months:)

@arodmell thats exactly what i plan on doing. sleepless nights to get the game finished in time. as cool as uncharted 2 will be (some may even give it game of the year) i just dont think i will even look at the packaging once borderlands comes out, then theres dragon age..

eyyyyoooooo!

i for one cant wait

Well dont know why pc is coming letter but im getting it for xbox360 and also looks like a great game.

If the pc version is done,why is it being released a week after the console versions ?

"when do the reviews usually come out? " If it's gold now, I would guess at the end of the week. It's a pretty big game though, so it might come out closer to the release date so they can progress far enough before handing out a verdict.

It will be playing the t*ts off Uncharted 2 before i get this. Looks good though

i am getting pc version

Awesome! Can't wait!

Looks nice...hope my graphics card can handle it.

Atomic (australian magazine) has given it 91% and i read somewhere some xbox magazine has given it 8.5 (but people don't think he understood how saving and difficulty worked which was his big con). I'm preordering it on steam ^^
