Sure not every title on there will appeal to everyone but that's a plenty big enough list. Diablo III was a great game but Blizzard shouldn't be making such ridiculous statements about the industry - we know they hate singleplayer games but based upon the sales figures for Skyrim and Batman: Arkham City I think it's fair to say that a few people still play singleplayer games and don't just pirate them. |

I never bought BF3 - what with it requiring Origin and not being available on Steam - but I played the demo and was annoyed by how grey it all was, especially when there were the colour comparisons between the alpha and beta. It looks shit. Looking at that video it's clear that DICE took things WAY too far and that mod clearly makes the game look much better.
The reality is that mods like this wouldn't be necessary if developers didn't fuck around with colour palettes for artist effect. It's one thing to mute the colours slightly; it's another for the entire colour palette to consist of fifty shades of grey. |

I've got plenty of Eridium to spend, but nothing I want to spend it on. It's even worse on your second run through - I was expecting to be able to buy more upgrades. Nope. Bummer. I maxed out my upgrades by Level 30 and was hoping that something else would come along to spend it on.

Better weapon descriptions. It's really weird, sometimes you'll have a gun that says "uses 3 ammo", and it does, sometimes you'll have a gun use 3 ammo when it doesn't say it does. Yeah, I came across that. I found what looked like a really awesome shotgun but when I went to use it I found it ended up consuming 4 ammo per shot, which is completely worthless to me. I'd also like it if they had a Diablo III style system where they tell you the amount of damage per second - sure different enemies have different elemental weaknesses but it's simply too hard to compare weapons as it is. Also, weapon accuracy seems to be affected by too many other stats that you can't rely on a weapon with a 98% accuracy actually being accurate - it might wobble a lot or have crazy amounts of recoil. The stats are pretty much the only thing you have to go on and they seem to be incredibly unreliable. |

| The worst sniper I picked up did 1250 damage elemental (pretty good for the level I was at) but consumed two ammo per shot and had burst fire while zoomed - worse still was that despite the stats it really wasn't that accurate. Luckily I picked up a 2250 damage sniper within about 10-15 minutes - no elemental but it was worth it. |

Often times its better to just sit there playing slots which is silly. Yeah, I play co-op with a couple of other players and after several missions we go and blow most of our money on the slots. You sometimes get a decent weapon but more importantly you get a bucketload of Eridium (maxed everything out by level 29) and some extra customisation options. It also means that if you die you don't waste as much money. |

They need to make loot per-player (ala Diablo 3) rather than competitive - I'm actually surprised they didn't do this for BL2. And they need to secure it from hacking, preferably by implementing it via Steamworks to allow weapon trading outside of the game.
Oh, and I'd like to see some more variety in classes. I'm not impressed with the skill trees in BL2. Still, a sequel sounds like an obvious move. |

The remake looks good to me. I'm glad that they're willing to make some small changes to update the game to modern expectations and it looks incredibly faithful to the original, so no complaints here. I'd be disappointed if they didn't offer discounts to existing owners on Steam but I unfortunately I imagine what they'll do is a pre-order bonus with the original game and allow it to be giftable.
I don't know whether I'll pick it up immediately - it depends on the price and what the final game looks like. More likely I'll wait for it to go on sale. |

I'm optimistic about the game but I won't be pre-ordering it - there are just too many question marks I want to see answered. The pre-order bonuses are also weak sauce.
Most likely I'll pick it up when it goes on sale. I'll still be playing Borderlands 2 and then it won't be long before Far Cry 3 is released. The only way I might change my mind and buy it sooner is if it gets truly stunning reviews and user feedback. |

I'm really interested in the co-op, which looks like a completely different game. And if they've learnt from the mistakes of Far Cry 2 for singleplayer then it's going to be awesome. The videos they've shown so far haven't looked that impressive but I think that's because they from the console version, especially if they're recommending such high-end specs. Far Cry 2 had awesome graphics and was incredibly well optimised - I thought it was much better than Crysis in every way. If Far Cry 3 is as well done on the PC then I'll be very happy.
I'm glad that Ubisoft has gotten rid of the online DRM requirement, though I still want to know whether it has limited activations. I skipped on Anno 2070 because of the Tages 3-machine activation bullshit. After being locked out of Crysis 2 and STALKER: Clear Sky I can safely say that limited activations are retarded and only hurt legitimate customers, as pirates have working cracks within a day or two. |

Please enlighten me regarding loot!
How come that it's a "finders keepers" system in Borderlands? I started playing with a friend of mine and before he knew it, I snatched the first shotgun drop away before his eyes. Afterward he looted an entire contained full of weapons while I was down there somewhere trying to survive an onslaught!? Yeah, it's really annoying that some things are shared (money, ammo, Eridium) while others aren't (weapons, shields, class-mods) - it encourages running off in battle to explore chests and promotes selfish behaviour. I'd rather they opted for a Diablo III style system where every player has their own loot. It means you pretty much only want to play with friends and family, as otherwise it gets tedious. It's the biggest criticism I have of the game and I'm annoyed that they didn't change it - at the very least they should have a Want-Need-Pass system so that all players get a chance of picking up decent items.
Oh, and Steam has suffered yet another spectacular outage - the user count has dropped to zero on the official stats and the forums and Steam Community are offline. It's pretty pathetic. I love Steam but Valve really needs to sort this shit out. |

Got 2 Blue rockets from Moxxi's slots in 3 pulls, one corrosive and one electric. Both do over 1500 damage (I am level 10). I have not lost any money on those things.... I love the slot machines. In co-op we hit two eridium jackpots earlier tonight (the triple one where you win 16 eridium and they come flying out of the machine), as well as a few decent weapons (most are junk though). Overall we lost money but the extra customisation unlocks and eridium were more than worth it. Great fun. |

By LV12-14 I had a corrosive rocket launcher, though in general corrosive weapons are pretty rare.
In terms of frequency (most to least) I've found it to be:
Fire > Explosive > Electric > Corrosive > Slag
I've got a slag sniper rifle and it's absolutely lethal, as it's combined with +120% Critical Hit Damage. They're definitely worth looking out for.
I've got LV17, LV16 and LV10 characters, covering three different classes. I'm maintaining two different co-op games and a singleplayer run through. So far I've managed to rack up 25hrs in-game and I'll be putting in a massive session tomorrow.
I'm annoyed that SLI isn't working. I'm using the latest drivers recommended for Borderlands 2 and yet the second GPU just seems to be doing a bit of PhysX. Performance doesn't drop below 60fps in singleplayer but co-op is much more demanding. I'm hoping that updated drivers and a patch or two from Gearbox will smooth things out nicely but I really wish this shit was sorted before launch. A quick Google search shows it's a common issue and not just specific to my system. And DiRT Showdown has plenty of SLI issues at launch as well. Not really that impressed with nVidia drivers. |

The Steam Community has been chronically unreliable tonight. Unfortunately this is a regular occurrence and isn't related to the release of Borderlands 2. Valve needs to put a LOT more effort into minimising downtime - so many games rely on it to provide multiplayer and people are kicked out immediately if they lose the connection.
I would go as far as saying that the Steam Community isn't fit for purpose at the moment. Players are already posting about how they've lost 5 or more levels because of the disconnects. There were over 100,000 people online when it went down and a decent percentage of those would have been playing co-op. |

I think this may turn into one of those games that's been in development so long that it will only disappoint anyone who plays it. I thought that about Black Mesa Source but that turned out to be exceptional!
Personally I'd be surprised if Half-Life 3 wasn't more open-world than the previous games. Don't forget that Half-Life 2 added physics and vehicles, which were a huge departure from the previous game. Obviously I don't think it's going to suddenly become like Skyrim and I don't think that text menus listing mission objectives would be in keeping with the Half-Life universe but Far Cry 2 managed to provide more flexible missions without breaking immersion and Valve is certainly creative enough to do something better.
While I have zero confidence in this rumour being true I also don't have much reason to doubt it, as it sounds plausible. |

That mission is hard as shit solo, make sure you bring some buds. They added a non-stop respawning component to a lot of the missions until you finish the objective, it's a bit obnoxious at times. In co-op its not a big deal at all but in solo play its frustrating. I've been soloing and haven't noticed that. There are some missions with a lot of waves but I always make sure to kill all the enemies and didn't come across a situation where enemies respawned indefinitely. I'm 10hrs into the game, so it might come later?
I'm having an absolute blast. I used one of the golden keys on the chest in Sanctuary without realising what they were but one of the guns I've been using ever since, so it worked out well. I'm very impressed with the game so far. I've got everything maxed out (including PhysX) at 2560x1600 and the framerate is a constant 60fps - I haven't seen it dip. I was expecting it to be very good and it has certainly lived up to my expectations. |

Hi, I tried to do that but it doesnt work. I log with VPN on, I launch the game, i get to the menu, then log out, shut down the vpn, and when login on steam again cant launch, "preload ready" again. Yeah. As soon as you logout of the VPN it goes back to "pre-load ready". So it's playable but obviously not ideal. Best to just play it singleplayer until it's launched properly. |

I loved the original Borderlands and put over 100hrs into it, so Borderlands 2 was always going to be a day-one purchase for me. As it stands it's shaping up to be really good and the fact it's using Steamworks is a definite plus. My brother bought me the DLC Season Pass for my birthday and both of my brothers have pre-ordered the game, so we'll get a bit of online co-op going - it's so much better when you have a group of friends/family and voice-chat.
I've already updated my nVidia drivers to the latest version with support for Borderlands 2. Now I just have to wait until the 21st when it's released here in the UK (it still pisses me off that most publishers won't do international launches simultaneously). |
