Borderlands DLC The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned Hits Nov. 24th

[ark123]

There's a lot of problems

People can't play together on PC because the gamespy online is shit. (I'm using Gameranger to bypass the shitty service)

Skill points can be permanently removed because of a bug.
Upgrades can be removed (I lost my 8 grenades and had to rebuy, not a big deal but worrying non the less)

Lilith moves had a lot of problems, one didn't even work at all.

I saw T.K. Baha both alive and well in his seat and dead hanging from a ceiling fan.

Cars drive weird and often bump into nothing

These were all patched and now work fine. Cars don't drive weird at all, it takes about 20 seconds to understand how they work.

"Dust off" as if we haven't been continuously playing it since it came out =D

Maybe the developers think it's been longer than it actually has since the full game was released. This was quick, but they've still not beaten Biowares day one record with Dragon Age.

Soon, the DLC will start getting released pre-emptively before the main game itself is even available.

I've no problem with that, as long as the "basic" version kicks ass. If DA:O's DLC adds 10 hours to a 100 hour game, I have zero objections to paying ten bucks for that extra ten hours (which is longer than most games).
People don't go apeshit because most cars don't have leather interiors which you can pay more to put in when the car is new, I see no problem with having the option of paying a few more bucks for extra content when it's just luxury items and a couple of side quests.
I know some people see this as a slippery slope and that soon we'll have to pay for every level in Mario, but those people need to be smacked in the back of the head and told to stop being dumbasses.

We already do, it's called episodic gaming... Note: Yes, I am aware there hans't been any episode Mario based gaming so far. Cynical comments aside, I also don't mind paying for (good) extra content for a game. I'm just used to it not being being released until a few weeks to a few months after the day of the vanilla games release, so the first time you pick up some day one DLC is bound to be a bit of a strange one.

My one gripe over the Soldiers Keep DLC is that once completing the quest, you can't actually go back into the keep itself. That was a bit of a pain, as I did have plans to go back and open all the locked chests I missed due to not having Leliana on my team at the time.

Sorry for hijacking your topic, Borderlands fans! Moving on...

Well maybe you should have rolled a Rogue Archer, like myself. Cleaned the place up from top to bottom. Still, would be nice to be able to go back like you can in almost every other place in the game.
Also we don't have episodic gaming. Having a complete Half Life game released every thirty two years is not episodic gaming, no matter how many "Episode: X" they put in the title.

Ha, released on my birthday. I have too many new games in my collection to turn to Borderlands just yet though.

Really Gearbox? I know this has been coming for a while, but couldn't you pick a better day to put this out? I really want to buy this day one, but I can't. I'm saving up for Black Friday, no money to spend until a few weeks from now. I really do want to play this day one, just I can't.
