Quick Look: Borderlands (PC)

Is the PC version that different to require another QL?
 
Guess we'll find out!

Nice, maybe some better textures or something?

Third!  
 
Hope PC version is good

Jeff is now the premiere authority on Borderlands in the whole world.

PRINCESS ROBOT BUBBLEGUM!!!! Oh, sorry...wrong video...

I thought for a second we were going back in time with a solo Jeff Quick Look.
 
I suppose a Quick Look is a Quick Look though.

It controls so much better

That voice... is that... DREW?!

I don't know about this game. 
 
Something  about it don't seem right

No toggle for ironsights?
 
Brutal.

another quick look for borderlands?

You can make the zoom in a toggle - you just need to actually edit the config files(along with being able to use the mousewheel to scroll quest information). Hopefully they just patch a better option menu soon.

If I do end up getting the game, it will definitely be on PC. 

Even if you don't buy the steam version, you can route a shortcut through your steam games menu and get that overlay... if that's your thang

@ DJJoeJoe :
Valve makes games too. I wouldn't be that involved with a competitor.

An FPS for the PC? Whatever next?!

I am catching some better looking effects there...  I think.
 
Yea, if I ever get Borderlands it'll probably be $20 and the PC version.

Started playing this last night on PC... it's SO GOOD! Now I know why you sound like a crack fiend when you talk about it, Jeff.

After some deliberation I decided to go ahead and buy this version of the game ($45 on Steam) since it looked like it was going to be the best version, and it was going to be cheapest if it ended up not being what I was hoping for.
 
A few hours later I see what Jeff is talking about.  While I would like some things different in terms of inventory and menu functionality, along with a storage locker of some sort, it is very addictive.  The one thing I noticed was that using sniper rifles is quite worthwhile, while it was alluded to that they were all but worthless.  I'm now debating if I should roll a new game as the Hunter before i get too far on my Soldier game.
 
All in all it's a great game, even solo, and perhaps i'll give the online a shot this week.

ga;jofha;osjf;asoudfah Gamespy! God Damn it!

no the PC version isnt that different.  Lazy bastards didn't optimize the menu's or add any video options.  Multiplayer is done through gamespy and there are still loads of bugs.  They delayed the PC version a week why?  I have no idea.

Must not be many decent games coming out. 
 
Wait... Gamespy?

" I'm perfectly content with my X360 version of the game. "

Well i wanted to get the PC version first, but i got suckered, and was pretty much forced to get the 360 first due the PC delay...
 
Throughout the entire QL i did want to just melee...it's super addictive and of course helpful.
 
Want another Pro Tip!?
 
If you think you're gunna die badly (and i mean badly), leave the closest target to you with little health and let yourself die...then when you fight for your life, you can get an instant second wind on that target, easy, restoring your shield and so on. It sort of comes naturally though, especially if you're lucky, but it is far better than trying to take down some dude who's full health and just ran behind cover.

Mouse and keyboard...fun to play, brutal to watch.  I think I'm going to throw up.

I'm playing it on the PC with my 360 controller. The only other game I played this way was Fallout 3. 

" Player matching has moved on, they've found ways to make that work"
 
Yep, if you live in the US. Other wise it'll never work and you're fucked.
 
Edit: But yeah, gamespy sucks.

Gamespy? Why didn't they just make it Games for Windows Live?

GameSpy, it still exists?! Well let's see if it works out.

And Jeff, people are pissed about Modern Warfare 2 because they ruin communities. The community I was part of wont exist if MW2 gets it way - they could COMBINE both the Matching that you're on about AND dedicated servers so we can get our communities.
But they decide they wont do that, and that's the worst part of it all. There's a golden middle road, yet they wont take it - because it wont give enough $$$ on top of already a fuck load of $$$ because of the PC price increase.

I MIGHT consider picking up this version of the game as a Christmas present for myself sometime this December. Jeff must really like this game, Brad seems cool with it too.

Jeff needs a borderlands intervention.

Spy me not buying the pc version gamespy.

Looks good might pick this up.

Drat. The Gamespy thing is a blemish on an otherwise superior version of the game. Oh well. :(

How the f do you make it so when you pick up a new gun it doesn't swap it in for the one you're using?
 
Fun game though otherwise, I'm playing it on PC.

Jeff a bit sloppy in this one.

Is Jeff really unaware that P2P matchmaking is a lagfest with more than 16 players, hence console shooters not having more than that unless the game is using dedicated servers?  PC gamers are used to playing with 30 or more players at once with no real lag and no host-advantage bullshit (e.g. Gears of War shotgun), and we should be very annoyed when that option is removed.

Not to mention what Metal_Mills said about how shitty player matching is for gamers outside the US.  I hate to think this is the case, but it really seems like Jeff thinks that because he gets decent 8 v. 8 games of CoD 4 or Halo 3 on Xbox Live in northern California, then that's the same for the rest of the world and no one could ever want or need anything better.

Cool video.

 Love hearing Brad talk PC hardware, so ignorant. There is no such thing as a "GeForce 265". I know that you don't care Brad but it is a GTX 260 that you guys are using.
