Shorty Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Did anyone else find it really irritating (don't know if its the same on the PS3) that control-wise, melee is where crouch should be and vice versa? I think there's an option to switch it to "angelic" but I didn't check what else changes with that.
drahkon Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Finished me first play through, it was amazin lol. You're fast ... I hope I will find some people here who will get into the game with me when the game arrives sometime next week. I might need a headset. Any suggestions? Is there one from Sony? Wireless? Or can I use any headset?
Daft Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 Get the official Sony one. It really is the best. Is there any way to not equip a weapon automatically when you pick it up? It's annoying.
Shorty Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 You only automatically equip it if you hold down the button to pick it up. If you just tap it, it goes into your inventory.

drahkon Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 you can use any bluetooth headset but the official one really is a quality product and I'd stick with it. Just to be sure: This? Looking forward to Borderlands after reading some of your impressions. =)
flameboy Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Just to be sure: This? Looking forward to Borderlands after reading some of your impressions. =) yes that one get it bought!
drahkon Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Alright, ordered =) Thanks (: Can't wait now... :p
Emerald Emblem Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 So which version has most purchases. PS3 or 360?
Daft Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 Does anyone else find the shotguns moot? I just use a sniper rifle. Does the job up close and long range.
Aimless Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Did anyone else find it really irritating (don't know if its the same on the PS3) that control-wise, melee is where crouch should be and vice versa? I think there's an option to switch it to "angelic" but I didn't check what else changes with that. I'm guessing Angelic would be as close to Halo as possible; on PS3 I use the Resistant scheme which is, you guessed it, near identical to Resistance. Does anyone else find the shotguns moot? I just use a sniper rifle. Does the job up close and long range. I've found the key to a good shotgun to be the amount of projectiles it dishes out. At the moment I'm just using a white quality weapon that does around 70 damage x11 and it vaporises enemies up close. It's especially useful when downed as you can't use your sights whilst bleeding out, making sniper rifles far less effective.
drahkon Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Since I don't know much about this game I gotta ask something: Are there some kind of unique weapons in this game as well? Diablo-style? And: Do the classes play very differently or are they quite similar?
Dan_Dare Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Hey guys Before I order this, can someone check over the control set up for me? I need to make sure I can play in southpaw so that's: Aiming on the left stick and movement (strafing etc) on the right cheers. edit: Nvm peeps- sorted.
Shorty Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Is that what you were ringing me for? Sorry, I left my phone in the other room. Yeah, it's got southpaw controls.
Goafer Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 (edited) It's worth bearing in mind that southpaw controls on this mirror the triggers too. So left trigger is fire and right is aim. Took me some getting used to. This website is a valuable tool for Lefties. Edited October 25, 2009 by Goafer
Daft Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 Awesome co-op-age. Taking out Moe and the other one was manic. When I respawned I ran past one of those flying nests and they followed me back to the fray.
Goafer Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Awesome co-op-age. Taking out Moe and the other one was manic. When I respawned I ran past one of those flying nests and they followed me back to the fray. I don't remember seeing any of those flying bastards at all! That fight was pretty manic though. I kept running out of ammo for my revolver and sniper rifle. Hopefully when I get a bit further, I'll be able to buy more things to hold more ammo.
Daft Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 Yeah, I think they just latched onto me. Didn't realise you had a revolver. I kept taking it. Sorry! :p Have you upgraded the ammo in the machines? Also, you should get a shield that recharges your health. Saves so much hassle. I love the grenade mod I've got. It drains people's health and gives it to me. A bit of a life saver.
Dyson Posted October 25, 2009 Posted October 25, 2009 Hmm, may have to pick up this game come payday. The thoughts on the game here are positive!

Never mind, I saw you using a revolver as well so it's not like the ammo was going to waste. I had my assault rifle as well for closer enemies. I've upgraded my bullet capacity twice for each of the 3 weapons I use (Revolver, Assault Rifle and Sniper Rifle). It's better now, but I still want more space! I think the shield I have now replenishes my health. Has 200 odd shield too, which is the highest I've seen so far.
Daft Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 Christ! My shield only has 80 and I was pretty happy with that. I love the revolver I have. It on has two shots every mag but does 202 damage. You want to do the mining mission in co-op? Otherwise I think I'll get slaughtered.

Daft Posted October 25, 2009 Author Posted October 25, 2009 Very glad we did that in co-op. Not sure how I would have managed in single player!
