Redeemed the game on steam and it's preloading now for friday but I didn't get any code for the DLC. It'll be automatic. I got BL2 from them without issue.

I'm hopeful about the improved movement, since that was my biggest issue with BL2. Definitely picking up the GOTY of this in a few years when it's $15.

I said gently caress it and dropped the $48 on this. Is there a Steam group for this? Whether or not there is, anyone want to start a co-op group as soon as this unlocks? Right now I'm thinking I'll play either Claptrap or Athena. Anyone know if the first person camera for claptrap is significantly lower than for the other characters? I expect that could get irritating.

I think they confirmed it's lower. However, claptrap doesn't suffer the oxygen debuff from losing his O2 shield that the other characters do.

The camera height has always reflected character height, ever since the first game. Look at the difference between Brick and Lilith for instance. Salvador is also a shortarse.

CJacobs posted:If I order the Mac version, will they just give me a Steam key which I can then use on the Windows version, or is the version they hand out truly Mac only? I ask because I've seen it happen in the past where I've ordered a Steam key for a lower price for the Mac version, then gotten a key which I activated on Windows for the Windows version. Game is setup for Steamplay, so version is irrelevant. It'll install whatever version you run it on.

Alright, sweet, thanks guys. 60 bucks is definitely too steep for someone with my quality of paycheck, but 45 via the code is less so.

Be careful with this, I'm told using VPNs in this way violates Steams terms and could give them reason to perform some kind of lockout on your account. Same with unlocking region locked keys.

I'm pretty sure Steam doesn't give a poo poo.

 unlocking as I type this I'm guessing I'll need to put Steam into offline mode to make sure it doesn't relock once I've disconnected from the VPN?

Ah, bummer, thanks. Was hoping to play with a friend this evening. If we both VPN into the same area, would that work? I could deal with some high latency for a night.

On release of borderlands 2 me and 2 others played through it before it unlocked in europe using vpns. I do remember it being a bit tricky to get a game going but we managed it. Rick (gibbed) said that if he has time in his currently busy schedule and if it's easy he will be making a save editor for this too.

Played about an hour and it's decent? More Borderlands, on the moon. So far the best moments have been in large open arenas where the jump pads and oz-assisted movement / buttstomps come properly into play. For those who were worried about oz-management being a pain, it really isn't. Air geysers are everywhere and most enemies drop an oz cylinder on death. The game also smartly forces you to go without air in an early sequence to show you that running out isn't a major issue - all that happens is your health drains slowly and the screen darkens a bit.

That makes me question then what makes the penalty mechanic worth having? I understand that living beings need oxygen to breath but it seems silly then to make losing it all a penalty. Why not just make it jet fuel to power your boost and butt stomps? I hope the movement options make it to future Borderlands as well. Though I'm not a huge fan of how Destiny turned out the way jumps and movement work in that game were cool and it seems like the Pre-Sequel takes that to another level.

Well the penalty Mechanic isn't really a penalty (to you), but you can use it against enemies. Played an hour and a half, game owns. Deadlift fight was kinda rubbish til I swapped guns and took him down way faster. Can't wait to get some co-op going when I can unlock it properly.
