" @InsanePotato: Yep, GearBox should definitely just stop developing for the PC since just about everything everybody does lately equates to getting sand in their vagina. "

Metacritic is great for getting the feel of something. You can see if something is favourably reviewed, you can also see what users rated it as a seperate score and you have a convenient list of where all the reviews for something were taken from. Like everything on the internet you should never use just ONE source and expect it to be gospel, the site itself gives you access to a myriad of its sources and you can further examine them to see if something is for you or not. Metacritic is a great thing, the only negative it has is when users use it as there only reference.

They've grown quick. They do things differently here. Endurance runs, mail openings, good reviews, the iphone app advertisement..... it all melds into something that works well ;)

Its simple, Borderlands isn't a PC game. "

Maybe when they fix there broken shoddy port of a 1st game on the computer they can consider selling people a 2nd.

a 1/3 of people apparently "don't like that game" lol. Great stuff.

Maybe if Randys company had a PR department that actually communicated with the 1000's of annoyed and frustrated PC players of borderlands i'd find it easier to not knock him. But Borderlands desperately needs patching, no gamespy, no rediculous need for port forwarding which doesn't seem to have 100% success rate, a fixed menu system for the PC that is a direct console rip and which doesn't require editing of config files for exceptionally simple stuff (vsync, push to talk mic, aiming and crouching toggles, mouse smoothing)  and numerous other bugs and glitches fixed (watching a hunter use 100 of those birds at once completing unbalancing the game is annoying as hell).
It's a shame because i really WANT to love this game. They're making it bloody hard though!
 
Randy needs to stfu and stop dissing on people like Gabe Newell and Steam. Gabe's ongoing comments about the PS3 probably aren't wise but the man is still in a total other class of developers than Randy.

Edit: PC Forums if you need a nice example of the ongoing chaos of this unpolished port.

Blizzard can basically do no wrong music wise. Diablo 1 and 2, Starcraft, Warcraft 2 and 3 for sure. Even WoW has a ton of good music and I truly believe people wouldn't fall in love with that world without it. The barrens music, stormwind castle and darnassus priest temple music are all great examples.
Morrowind and Oblivion for sure (love the start of Oblivion with the flyover of the city).
Megaman 2 has some of the best music ever. Tell me you didn't get pumped the first Dr Wily stage.  

 

Movies still come on discs? What is this the 1990's?
