People, this game is lots of fun to play. Also, it features a City which has a Desert Built inside it...

You should see this amazing incendiary SMG I got, actually. Made most of the last bits of the game very easy indeed. #borderlands

Fix the broken achievements.
Seriously, I've killed like a billion fucking guys with Corrosive weapons and no Facemelter. I haven't rushed through this game at all but come on it's been out for awhile and I would've thought there'd be a fix by now.

(on quest screen you should be able to switch to a sub-tab showing all achieves. - at-least you can on the PC) #borderlands

Oh and my current Mordy build but I might reset a few point to the Sniper tree. It's not a definitive build- just one to help others survive.

Do a check on how long it takes between going gold and a game actually selling on shelves.
Compare that to how long it takes to get DLC out when it's finished.
Just because DLC comes out a week or two after a game launches, doesn't mean the DLC was magically finished in time for the game to go to print and they excluded it because they were evil.
But honestly, the same people would probably bitch and moan if it took them a month to launch DLC because it should have been out sooner.
The game had plenty of content at launch. Them adding more later doesn't mean they subtracted before. Grow up. #borderlands

Then again, we know that Stone Prisoner was designed specifically as a used-copy-purchase prevention measure, and it looks like Warden's Keep was just designed to give them enough content for a collector's edition or something.
I get it when people talk about Capcom, when apparently the material is on the disc, but if something's developed separately and actually downloaded, I think peoples' complaints are unwarranted. #borderlands

As for Dragon Age, what the crap justifies 2 DLCs to be out the day the game is released?! And not only that, to charge $15 for one and $8 for the other? That's absurd. Your $60 game just became a $83 game, if you want the whole experience.
As for Borderlands, I think this is fine, because it did give the game at least a month for people to play and finish. It's still a short notice, but in this day and age, you do need to keep getting content out to your customers or you're going to lose them to other games. That's just the way it is now. Quick consumerism. #borderlands

Note how he says I was rude for telling people to grow up, then brings up that little gem.
Yes, there are cases of companies intentionally gouging with overpriced or underdone DLC.
I was aiming my comment at the people that complain about every piece of DLC out there, regardless of quality or quantity. The people who feel they are "owed" all extra content for free, or that all DLC should be on the scale of Fallout 3 and GTA4's expansions.
I'll be picking up this DLC. I won't be picking up minor things I don't see adding much value to my gaming time. #borderlands

I have no problem paying for quality DLC like this one. I won't be picking up costumes or things like that.
My comment was referring to this article in particular, and how they dismiss the DLC due to how quickly it arrived. I was merely giving examples of why DLC can arrive seemingly quickly.
Not to mention, as another commenter mentioned, oftentimes a separate team works on DLC near the end of the core game's development cycle. #borderlands

I think the reason the DLCs in standalone form are $15 and $8 is to discourage people buying a used copy of the game (where the dev/pub won't receive any profits). #borderlands

Meanwhile, Hikiko makes me sad, since while he / she seems quite the articulate and well spoken individual, his / her arguments are ludicrous. Expecting every game "to be highly polished to the absolute maximum degree" ? Using the terrible dollar-for-value music track DLC trend as an example of appropriate pricing for campaign expansions? Making rape-victim analogies?? If this weren't the internet, I would consider such behavior shocking.
Anyways, this person makes me sad because either we have an articulate fool who presents their crazy-stance very neatly, or a well spoken sane person who puts a lot of effort into trolling valid areas of discussion. I'm not sure which is more depressing to encounter here. #borderlands

I just really hope that there arent any game breaking bugs in this release compared to stand alone game. I also hope that this wouldn't be the last DLC made for it.

Anyone know what the title of the song is? #borderlands

PC gamers dont buy this shit. Since since the beginning of time they have always been free.
They will come out on the PC when they are finally free. Since they cant get away with them being free on PC and still selling the console ones.

I bought the first COD4 map pack, but after the fact that I think I couldn't really search for the specific map (I'd only randomly be connected to it) and that they weren't that impressive...I've yet to touch a map pack for COD4 again.
06/18/09
1) This is CoD: WaW. Not 4. There only WAS one map pack for 4.
2) No, a *real* zombie game would be Dead Rising. *Real* (and I use that term loosely) don't run, they shuffle around and munch on dead bodies.
I do love Left 4 Dead though. Just taking the 'play a real zombie game!' to another level. :)

I'd rather have a zombie put up a fight when it tries to approach me.

I am the next generation of Zombie ~braaaaaainssss~
06/18/09
(Zombie) Goldwings, now available with more genetic viral mutations! Buy one today!
Well, if someone did sell zombies as toys/pets (kinda like a Tomagotchi, but more like 'Zombigotchi'. :D), I expect massive product recalls. Yes.

Are they going to stop dicking around and just clone left4dead4duty and be done with it?

Star Wars: Battlefront III: Zombies Mode?...
You're on to something here..
I meant to state that they are Japanese Imperial soldiers, actually. XO

A crummy commercial?
Son of a bitch!

The magic system is based on the use of Skittles candy. M&M Mars licensed use of their candy but maintained some editorial control upon the game. One requirement was to "remove all the snakes from the game." When asked for clarification, they said that there could be snake-like creatures, but no actual snakes.
