Support for the game fast out of the blocks? Great.

Much faster than some devs...

leyego25922d ago

us gamers arnt beta testers, issues like this should have been fixed from the get go. we put our hard earned cash on the line and we get a buggy co-op game? some devs need to stop cutting corners.

leyego25922d ago

well i have reason to be negative nelly
the only reason y i bought this game in the first place was so i can play co-op with a few buddies of mine. every single transition from one zone to another lagged us out and some how glitched me... the game gets really dumb when ur lvl 18 with 40 free skill points and can kill everything by just standing in one spot. not to mention the extremely long loading screens which i had to endure everytime i got d/ced and wanted to rejoin my friends game. its not just me, theres a lot of ppl with the same problems.
stuff like unstable servers, FL not working, etc etc should have been tested and fixed b4 the game even launched. nothing like a co-op game with broken co-op.

rant over.

like i said i have a reason to be pissed.

MasterBlaster5922d ago

The game does have a lot of bugs.

LukaX235922d ago

I've only really had problems when someone else with a bad connection was hosting. Whenever I hosted people were like "DAMN IT'S LAG PROOF" lol.

Tony P5922d ago

Yes, it has bugs. Gearbox took about ten days to get the first patch out whereas other devs take *months* (Fallout 3, KoF XII) or don't patch *at all* (Mass Effect on consoles). I'll give them credit for good support.

leyego25922d ago

the problem aint with how long it took them to patch it, 10 days to solve so many problems is great, but those problems shouldn't have even existed to begin with and thats what got on my nerves.

its not like it takes much effort to put the dvd into the drive and check to see if the FL feature works properly among other online bugs.

Feral Gamer5922d ago (Edited 5922d ago )

Show me an online game that didn't have bugs at launch. SOCOM anyone?

vhero5922d ago

Still no fix for missing items after multiplayer though.. Finally happened to me yesterday. Lost my ultra rare shield and class mod was absolutely GUTTED. Only playing split screen too!

JonnyBadfinger5921d ago

The only glitch i encounted was the ending glitched. I beat the stupid octopus thing the 'Destroyer' or whatever its called, and the women started to talk and then it glitched and cut straight to the credits with the guns crosshair still in the middle of the screen.

It was annoying but not the end of the world, im working on my second character who is level 20.

This is the first game in along time that has taken me longer than 4 days to finish, and i when i say finish i mean 100% of the game quests.
took me about 6 days and 12 hrs...........

load time for the PS3 version have been improved, good to hear. Thanks Gearbox!

TooTall195922d ago (Edited 5922d ago )

Single player especially works very well. Something I cannot say for all wasteland shooters.

Edit: load times are noticeably shorter. Also I found my first yellow level gun today

AndrewE5922d ago

i did have problems when someone with a bad connection hosts, so i always have my friend with his FIOS connection lol.

ever since XIII came out I really loved the cell shaded artstyle in games. I probably wouldn't have tried it if it didn't have such a style like that

Despite Borderlands Movie Flop, Series Saw Boost in Sales; Take-Two to Be Selective on Licensing IPs

Take-Two admits the Borderlands movie was disappointing, though it still contributed to the game catalog's sales.

"we don’t really need to break out the contribution from the film because while it was economically positive"

Come on, there was nothing positive about it, it literally bled money...not really economically.

Daeloki432d ago

No there was not. The same way there was no Dragon Ball live action movie, nor an Avatar the Last Airbender live action movie :)

Polish a turd to make a what?!

DefenderOfDoom2432d ago (Edited 432d ago )

So the movie cost 155 million to produce and another 30 million dollars to promote . Borderlands movie brought in around 31 million worldwide . So basically, the Borderlands movie was a 154 million commercial for Borderlands video game franchise.
