Guest eriathomas Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 Yeah, walking sucks and so does driving but there is tons of it. Later in the game you get warp points, which are usually by the car terminals and it's great. I'm at level 33 right now. The car is fucking awful. Who ok'd that? I just unlocked the warps though. Yeah, it is pretty horrible. The speedy mcspeederton achievement would be 100 times easier if you didn't stop if you skim a wall or something. I gave up on it after a few tries. The warps are great, and with the patch for loading times (and other bugs) they released today, the game is a lot better. Also the missions where you have to do car battles with the bandits were a horrible idea. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eriathomas Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I just beat Borderlands. I ended up at level 36 or 37. It was great, but the end was like "that's it?" even though there was pretty much no story anyway. I think I'm going to go through and try to get all the achievements, since I really don't want to start and RPG before Modern Warfare 2 comes out since it'll take priority over it. Edit: Anyone playing Borderlands have the "And They'll Tell Two Friends" achievement, and is willing to let me do a quick co-op game to get it sometime?

mediocore Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 FYI: If you pre-order MW2 from Amazon, they'll give you a free $20 gift card for a future video game purchase (comes out to $14 if you want to receive the game by the release date). It's not a ton, but worth it if you haven't pre-ordered yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eriathomas Posted October 31, 2009 Share Posted October 31, 2009 I actually did pre-order it from there, and just did the free shopping. I'd rather have an extra $20 toward something else, and wait a few days for the game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

motorbike Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 picked up borderlands this weekend. pretty damn fun. HOTXDAMXKID is my xboxlive tag if anyone wants someone to play with sometime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 Still playing TF2 very often, but I plan on buying COD MW2 for PC! Anyone else picking this up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicker Posted November 2, 2009 Share Posted November 2, 2009 beat Brutal Legend. that game is frustratingly bad. the story was the only reason i stuck with it and it lost steam toward the end. trading it in toward MW2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eriathomas Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I'm really excitied for MW2, though I don't think I'll get it until the weekend after it comes out since I used the free shipping on amazon. I'm still playing Borderlands, and am at level 41 now. I only have like 5 more achievements for the 1000 GS on it. I hope the zombie DLC comes out for it soon, since this game is a lot of fun.

bleachedtshirt Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 borderlands has me hooked, online co op is really fun. i'm a level 26 hunter. next up.. dragon age origins! supposed to be out tomorrow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidamnesiac Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 DEAD SPACE. Awesome. Bought it exactly one year after launch (Oct. 31) and played it all night. Best $15 I ever spent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eriathomas Posted November 3, 2009 Share Posted November 3, 2009 I just upgraded my shipping for MW2 on amazon to release day. It's $6, but with the $20 gift card toward games and how much I'd pay for tax in-store it still comes out to a great deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eriathomas Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I'm not sure if I want to watch that trailer yet, since it supposedly has some spoilers. I'm almost done with my second play-through on borderlands, and I only have one achievement left, and that is to get the 42 inventory slots from the claptraps. I only need 2 more, and I think I know where I missed them. The game gets pretty crazy once you hit level 50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flicker Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 yeah...i guess if you consider 2-4 sec clips of environments spoilers... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eriathomas Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I guess I'll check it out then. Anyone else really disappointed in the Left 4 Dead 2 demo? Valve claimed a new experience, but it's the same with a few new SI and different character models. Also why did it look like the infected were "skating" as they ran? The steps did not match up with how they moved, it looked awkward and rushed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 DEAD SPACE. Awesome. Bought it exactly one year after launch (Oct. 31) and played it all night. Best $15 I ever spent. What a deal! I'm sticking to a new plan of only buying games once they're cheap w/ the exception of a few multiplayer games a year (Borderlands and L4D2).

FullCircleHook Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Anybody played uncharted 2 yet? Wondering if it is as good as the first one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest eriathomas Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 I've been trying to do that too Kirby, but there are still a few I'll pay full price for (MW2 and probably FFXIII). I'm actually about to start Mass Effect now, only like 2 years late. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
partysmasher Posted November 5, 2009 Share Posted November 5, 2009 Anybody played uncharted 2 yet? Wondering if it is as good as the first one. i've not played the original but i played through this a few weeks ago and it's amazing, must buy!

Guest eriathomas Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I started Mass Effect earlier, and the reviews were right when they said the battle system and fighting takes getting used to. I think I died like 5 times disarming those damn bombs because I kept getting hit by those snipers and rockets. I also won an auction for Dead Space for like $14ppd, not too bad. I look forward to playing it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mediocore Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 We should setup a video game trade or something. I have a bunch of games I've finished that I wouldn't mind swapping for games people on the board are done with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
inutil Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 I just played Torchlight for a couple hours, game rules. I'll probably be downloading this tonight. It should be good. I luuuuv this kind of game. I was just playing Nox again this week and that game is still so fun. Can't wait for Diablo 3!!!!! Have any of you played Dragon Age on the 360? I've heard it's the worse version around... I think i'll pick Borderlands up today! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorbike Posted November 6, 2009 Share Posted November 6, 2009 dumb question but on borderlands when you play split screen co-op is there a way to make the guest not start at level 1? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
