An kind gentleman has pieced together all the gameplay footage released at E3 for this. No audio, before you ask:
Looks fair bostin. It needs a Dave.

It needs a Dave as an in-game character, to deadpan his way through encounters with the giant hive monster things.
Gearbox president Rowdy Pitchfork has announced the first DLC will be out within a week of release, for a bargainous 800pts, has a Hallowe'eny zombie theme, and DEFINITELY was NOT held back from the retail version, HONEST GUV'NOR.
In other news, Pitchfork scores 9/10 in Things Perkies Wants In Games by making Lilith (the token female character) a tattooed redhead version of Sophie Ellis-Bumsexx0r.

I don't understand the mewling about this sort of thing. If you think the game is bad value without the DLC content, don't buy it. If you think the DLC content is bad value, don't buy that. Seems simple to me, and I honestly cannot recall the last time Internet whining changed the world.

Pass.
You fucked the link by, somehow, putting a space in the word 'games': http://www.gameon.co.uk/files/images/ga ... shot_6.jpg

Coff injunction against the Gguardian by Trafigura coff.
That wasn't whining.

It was sort of.

It got Google to change the Chrome T&Cs. And Facebook changed some T&C, I think. And Flickr dropped using Flash to display photos. And this place got subtitles. 
And Yoshimitsu is a Ninja.
But there's no reply-all button on PMs.
And it got Family Guy, Futurama and Firefly resurrected.

Strong DVD sales had a lot more to do with that. And Firefly wasn't resurrected, they made a film instead. Craster wrote:

GazChap is doing that.

Am I the only one who thinks that strict control of review publish deadlines smells worringly like turkey?
Quote:
Our Borderlands review will be published on Friday, launch day.
Ruh roh. Also, Metacritic only has one review (from Official Xbox Magazine). It's the same on Gamerankings.Am I the only one who thinks that strict control of review publish deadlines smells worringly like turkey?
From experience it's not usually great news when reviews are embargoed like that.

Must say I'm tempted by this but it's taken me two years to do COD4 and Forza 2. 4 Player shooty co-op does sound da boom though.

The coverage on RPS so far makes it sound like they're plenty enthusiastic about it, mind.

That's a 10-4 good buddy. People are (quite understandably) fearing it'll be Hellgate London all over again.
A lot of what they've enthused endlessly over is not that great when you think about it. 17 million weapons? Whoop dee doo, you run the stats of each gun I find through a random number generator. And Pandy Richfork thinks that this is in fact a great idea, as it could mean a noob will find a top-level gun early on.
I've also been told that you're stuck with the four basic characters, only doing a palette swap on their clothes. Which will likely mean when people work out the optimum balance we'll see teams of two Bricks, a Roland and a Lilith (for example). Or three Mordecais and a Roland. (face it, Roland is going to rock, he's the medic)
Still looking forward to it, albeit with increasing caution. I almost hope my living room isn't finished by Friday as it means I'll be able to read the review instead of blinding purchasing it and discovering it's shit.
I wonder if I can convince the publishers to send me a review copy? My site has well over ten regular readers and a Twitter account now.
Kotaku didn't hate it.

As long as it's not made by EA I can ask on behalf of UpToJump for you.
Did we upset EA?
It's probably better not to go into it.

Sented! I'll let you know, but I think 2K have turned us down for something before, so don't hold your breath.

Cheapy preorder go:
http://www.savygamer.co.uk/2009/10/3-of ... ark-2.html
It's £29.95 (best price available), and if you spend £35 or more, you can get £3 off, so you could get another cheap game for not very much if you wanted. IE Skate for an extra £3.

Mine was despatched three days ago now, so I'm hoping for it soon.
Seems like I was worried about nothing then -- also note that is a few days earlier than they said yesterday. How queer.
looks like it's worth getting at some point though, probably on mass so we can all team up and Co-op the sh*t out of it
A solid £20er.
Mine arrived this morning while I was asleep. Beautiful cover, which I shall now judge the game on.
Oooh. Read the review. Will get.
Now torn between wanting to be Roland (support class, healing stuff, buff me ffs) and Lilith (for superduper powers, including Phase Strike which gives you 160% damage boost if you whack someone while phasewalking) as the other two don't interest me.
You can see the skills at borderlands.wikia.com if you didn't already know.

This game is gloriously beautiful. Even from the first 10 minutes I can see myself sinking hours upon hours into this.
Plan your build with the official website tools (you have to first click the main skill at the top and then you can start putting points into everything else)
I love my Brick
Roland Rat!
Frasier's Wife
Obligatory angsty name
EDIT: Fucking hell, top whack (pun intended) Phase Strike is 800% melee damage!

I yam the snipery dude.
Well, if a Dimrill has it, and it has Co-op. Then I'll have to get it.
Oi, Dimmers, Don't get tired of it before monday, as that's likely when I'll first have it and be available.

Me too. Any preference for characters, Dave?
Dave needs to be the big burly chap.
