PAL release is on the 21st, I'll get to watch the rest of my Steam friends list play it 3 days earlier while my preloaded copy is sitting on my hard drive.

Think my wife would kill me if I took the 18th off?
Edit: wait midnight release. This may be the first game I ever midnight for.

Just don't tell her you're taking the day off to explore every inch of Pandora's box.

Review embargo ends in 30 minutes, expect a bunch of media to hit.

Feel free to post links here. Don't expect me to read then though, I'm trying to keep my anxious on.

9/10 from IGN.

Quote:

Borderlands 2 preserves the best parts of the franchise while also making numerous, much needed improvements to areas like narrative and class skill design. Additional visual customization options would make it better, and the occasional technical issue takes away from the experience, but overall this is an excellent shooter no one even remotely curious should overlook. Prepare to level. Prepare to loot. Prepare to get lost in the hilarious, bizarre and wonderful world of Pandora.

If you pre-ordered on Steam you can restart your Steam client and start the borderlands 2 preload.

Size is ~4.7GB.

This picture is awesome, shows all enemies if you don't want that spoiled.

Kind of puts things in perspective.

That picture makes me wish I had three monitors and could have the image sprawling across all of them...

It'd be nice if I could pre-load the game then enter my key to activate it :/ I have to wait for Green Man Gaming to send me my code. I think I'm gonna try Gunzerker first with a focus on Gunzerking as much as possible.

I will be playing this on PC the moment it unlocks.
The only question remaining is who the other three members in the party will be.

I won't stop playing until I have a combustion hellfire or whatever its B2 equivalent is.

Ordered new PC parts, and Pre-ordered this game. Parts show up on the 18th. So I'll play for a day with my old system, then march forward on the new one!

If you got a new nVidia card, you get Borderlands 2 for free, right?

I think so, but I didn't get a new video card. The one I had was good enough! Besides that though, I really look forward to the game. I spoiled myself some by watching the IGN video review.

Good enough for all those fancy Phys-X bells and whistles!?

I saw the demo for this shit and it was pretty nice.

SilentScreams · 09-14-2012, 04:55 PM

Yeah, even though my graphics card is by far the strongest part of my current setup, I'm seriously considering grabbing one of the new Nvidia cards before this hits. Now that I know how awesome it looks with one, I'd feel like I was being cheated if I played without.

jpublic · 09-14-2012, 05:12 PM

Eh. Something to look forward to when I build a new PC next year.

Tell you the truth, the graphics are not the biggest thing for me right now. Perhaps when I upgrade the graphics card I'll think about that but baby steps. Have to get out of the Duel Core age before I worry about new cards!
