The driving in BL just seems unfinished to me. The way you come to a depressing halt when you drive into something, when what you want is a big crash or flip; or the way you skate across water without disturbing the surface. Lame.
And WTF was going on with Mad Mel? I ended up respawning and sniping his ass from on foot.

At first, I didn?t like it at all. But once you use it for about 20 minutes, then I found it alright
The driving on PC is fundamentally broken because you steer with the mouse and ALSO aim the turret machine gun/rocket launcher with the mouse, which means the two are linked. This makes the fights with the bandits in their little buggies infuriatingly difficult as you end up driving in circles trying to draw a bead on them and you can't run away and shoot backwards at the same time as a turret would logically allow you to do. It's completely bugged, I don't know why they couldn't have gone for GTA WASD for the steering and the mouse controlling the turret - maybe that was too sensible or something.
Yep. I ended up cheaping his ass by standing on the ramp by the New-U station and taking longshots.haruvister said:
Fuck you Mel, if you're gonna cheap me I'm gonna cheap you right back.
That's a lot of 'cheaps'. Cheap cheap. I'm a baby chicken.
DO baby chickens cheep? Or squawk?
God yes, all my problems with drive in Borderlands right here. Even though the vehicle controls similarly to the vehicles in Halo, I still instinctively pull the trigger about 30% of the time to start accelerating. Tiny little bits of scenery bring my car to a standstill and it handles like a drunk cow. Absolutely infuriating.miracleofsound said:
Still not as bad as the Mako in Mass Effect though.
Speaking of cheap, I wound up running and hiding from Baron Flynt until he got stuck in a corner and took potshots at him, taking cover to reload every time he started spamming his wildly inaccurate cannon at me. At least it wasn't be being stuck in impossible to escape scenery holes for a change.miracleofsound said:
That was definately NOT fun... being trapped in a corner by sixteen slobbering skags and not being able to get out because you're stuck on some stupid sticky rock.Kermi said:
It's amazing how such things got overlooked in such a polished, otherwise excellent game.

The point was that it felt out of place.miracleofsound said:
For me, most movement and jumping felt "floaty", as if the gravity was set a bit too low. But to completely fuck with any expectation I had and something that consistently confused me was that no matter how fast I moved, when I let go of the controller my character would stop almost instantly.
Absolutely. This was one of the most frustrating game moments I've had this year. Fortunately the aforementioned "long shots from the ramp" tactic worked for me as well or I'd be selling it on Craigslist right now.miracleofsound said:
1. The auto lock on missile launcher doesn't work for shitkeyworkkiller said:
2. During a collision, bandit cars flip you but you don't flip them
3. Driving in a circle you cannot see what is coming half the time
4. Random explosions everywhere obscure your view and make the framerate drop, causing mayhem
5. Mel takes more damage from my repeater than from my car mounted launcher
6. Car has no suspension, so driving over the jump ramp usually ends up in being flipped
Yeah.
Pretty cheap boss battle.
While I don't mind the driving control-wise (I don't drive around much, since it's not as fun as hoofing it and shooting things), getting stuck on nearly every fucking object you could imagine getting stuck on. Permanently.
Oh, and as someone mentioned earlier-Melee the cars if they get stuck. In most cases, they'll be free, since gravity seems to ignore vehicles.
Really? Well, I never used the car for that, anyway. I manned up and ran in, and won, on both playthroughs.miracleofsound said:

To be fair, you shouldn't be using the missile launcher. The machine gun is superior.miracleofsound said:
I don't drive much, but not really. Just gotta get used to it. I don't drive, because I Phasewalk.
