Cube Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 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. It depends what game you play just before it. I played a bit of CoD4 before I got Borderlands, so I didn't think twice about the controls. I've completed the first area, and my only complaint is that there doesn't seem to be a quest or anything, but apparently that kicks off later.
Goafer Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Very glad we did that in co-op. Not sure how I would have managed in single player! Yeah it was a bit manic. Especially the boss, that bloody turret and those rocket launcher bastards! I still cant believe how lucky I was at the boss. We killed him just as the "fight for your life" thing was about to run out. Got me a pretty good revolver from one of the boss boxes. Not quite as good as yours damage wise, but it's a six shooter at least. Levelled my bloodwing as well with some of my skill points. It heals me now when it damages people. Plus it's a bit tougher. This game on multiplayer just gets more and more awesome! We need more PS3ers!
Daft Posted October 26, 2009 Author Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) I think I accidentally sold my revolver...I'm hoping I just switched it out and didn't notice. Loved using the rocket launcher. It's a bit lame against big guys but against the normal weirdos it's pretty solid. I'm about 2 levels from upgrading my turret so it shoots missiles as well. Currently I need a better shield. Hopefully MSN would have sorted itself out by next time. When do you next want to team up? Evenings are generally good for me. Dwarf, go get Borderlands. Edited October 26, 2009 by Daft
Dan_Dare Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 So..any 360 players in here? me (soon) and Shorty. Anyone else?
Shorty Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 (edited) Played this for hours last night, it could be the best co-op game I've played after the first Gears of War. So much fun. Last night me and my g/f took on some enemies way above us, died a few times but had a lot of fun. After finding some truly wicked weapons I randomly decided to check out an "arena" thinking it would be like a duelling area, only to find it was a main quest with a huge boss at the end which was damn tricky for a siren and a hunter. One of us really should've been a tank Still, great fun. At one point we were really struggling against some higher level "baddass" ranked guys with hardly any HP left, then it dawned on me that I'd just dinged 13 and had a lvl-13 minimum purple-rank SMG that I had been carrying around until I could use it. Whipped it out and just annihilated the whole room with it, it was so awesome! It was like a machine gun and shotgun mixed into one, easily hitting about 4 people at once for hundreds of HP. 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. I tried Angelic, it's almost identical to Halo with one glaring error. You have to hold the right stick to aim, I couldn't find an option to set it to toggle... useless.

Mundi Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 So..any 360 players in here? I´m gonna get this soon for the 360 if your interested in a session.
Shorty Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 If I play on the 360 with you guys ideally I'd like to start again, try a new class out and do the early missions because I wouldn't want to progress any further through the game than I have been doing on splitscreen.
Dyson Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 I'm fairly positive I'm gonna pick up this game friday or so (payday) :p Looks damn fine.
Solo Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 I have this on 360, I'll add you (if I don't have you already).
Goafer Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Bugger. I got this on PS3 so I could play with everyone and it seems more people have it on 360 now. Arse. Daft: I'll probably be up for some Co-op most evenings. I finish work late though (I've just got home and had Dinner to give you an idea) so bear with me.
Daft Posted October 26, 2009 Author Posted October 26, 2009 Perfect timing. I walked through the door 5 minutes ago. MSN me when you're ready (hopefully it works this time). Also, you other PS3 people suck. Borderlands is the tits.
Happenstance Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 I'll let you guys know when this comes through off my rental list so I can join in sometime
dwarf Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 I'll ask for this for meinen birthdayun. The third of next month should mean I can join you (depending when I'm celebrating that survival achievement).
jayseven Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Tis my payday on wednesday - I'm just a little saddened as I haven't got internetz on my 'box in my room, and not sure of the most economical way to get it sorted, so I may wait a month before i join in (and, obviously, be too far behind to get the experience with a co-op buddy first-time-first-hand, like.
Goafer Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Is it like PSO......? Not really. It's basically an online co-op Fallout 3 with dungeon looting elements. Basically imagine FPS version of Diablo set in a cartoony Fallout universe.
James Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Im tempted for this, I really am. There just so much to play, and the fact I always go back to COD4 tells me I will waste my money buying new games.
Daft Posted October 26, 2009 Author Posted October 26, 2009 All you need to know is it's fucking good fun.
Goafer Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 Not really. It's basically an online co-op Fallout 3 with dungeon looting elements. Basically imagine FPS version of Diablo set in a cartoony Fallout universe. The more I think about it, the more I can see similarities between this and PSO. The addictive loot collecting and always looking out for better equipment is similar. It's got all the good parts of an MMORPG (addictive looting, interacting with people, getting more powerful) without all the boring grinding. Don't bother getting it if you don't plan on playing online though, it's not that good in single player. Best to play with a regular group too. You're welcome to join me and Daft if you get it on PS3 and my bandwidth will let us play without lag.
Daft Posted October 26, 2009 Author Posted October 26, 2009 Does the host's connection have to be the best to avoid lag or is it the other way around? That battle with the beast got laggy. It wasn't bad enough to be annoying but it was there. Not sure why since there was only one (fooking massive) enemy. The rest of the time we played it ran perfectly. What did you think of the Elephant gun? The lack of sight is kind of annoying but once you get used to it it's got the punch. Anyone know when you open up the fourth weapon slot?
McPhee Posted October 26, 2009 Posted October 26, 2009 I'd dismissed this game, but since then I've heard NOTHING but good stuff. Could well be coming home with a copy tomorrow night, need something to get me back online CBA with Halo or CoD anymore, same old boring shit. Tis my payday on wednesday - I'm just a little saddened as I haven't got internetz on my 'box in my room, and not sure of the most economical way to get it sorted, so I may wait a month before i join in (and, obviously, be too far behind to get the experience with a co-op buddy first-time-first-hand, like. http://www.ebuyer.com/product/150039 Speed will be more than enough for the Xbox

The beast battle was fine for me, although I was the host, so it's not exactly surprising. The Elephant gun is pretty awesome. I keep it for closer enemies. I need the fourth slot as well so I can have a revolver, an assault rifle, a sniper rifle and the elephant gun. At the moment the elephant gun is just my backup. It's just a bit annoying that it shares ammo with my sniper rifle.
Daft Posted October 26, 2009 Author Posted October 26, 2009 The ammo regen perk is ace. I was loving that. I want the fourth slot for my rocket launcher because it's not that great but it is fun to use. The next time I level up I'll be able to add rockets to my turret. Woo!!
