Borderlands

[Tutonic]

RPS have written a nice preview for the co-op mode, check it out: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2009/10/13/hands-on-with-borderlands-co-op/

Looks like a cracking good time, I'm tempted to pre-order on Steam...

With you on this one Tutonic, myself and Ranger are going to get this and give it a bash it looks a right laugh and the Coop sounds a lot of fun

We had a go last night --- very promising!

Short story - think of (the excellent) Fallout 3 done with a co-op four player mode. Lots of fun...

Another fair comparison is Left 4 Dead: If you liked L4D but *didn't* like being forced to play the girl character (!) Borderlands allows you to chose any mix of teh four basic character types - also, the mission longevity is a lot better than L4D too (lots more hours of playing before you get bored)!

One fly in the ointment - no dedicated server (it's P2P) and worse, the early release seems to be a big buggy (surprise, surprise) and wouldn't allow us to create a hosted game because of port/firewall issues...

LUCKILY - the solution was to download Game Ranger (P2P lobby host creation service --- free!). This worked great - allowed us to create a lobby, link to each other as friends, the host makes a room, the players join. Just works!

Gameplay was fun...But am still learning the keys!

Borderlands rocks! The best new game I've played this year (which isn't much of a recommendation I know as its been fairly bleak on the games front).

The SP is good the coop is a lot of fun! 4 player only.

I am enjoying Borderlands alot.

Give me a shout on Steam if you fancy some co-op

Sorry tutonic, haven't been back to this thread for a while and for anyone else thinking they would like a new game they can play sp or coop - and if you like guns, ranking up, etc this game is awsome.

Having lots of coop fun - hours of gameplay, doesn't need a fast pc to play etc.

Decided to try the game also, alot of fun in my opinion.
Guts and bodyparts flying in every direction :devil:

For the Danes - nice review of it in Troldspejlet. I was tempted.

Ingame coop hosting is poor, so we tend to use Gameranger

I really must fire this up again, I got it for Ã,£14 from Zavvi before Christmas and played it after install to see what it was like, I liked it, but for some reason I haven't partook since.

I'll need to patch it and have another play, then think about the DLC's then.

I've been getting back into Borderlands recently - I never completed it the first time round.

Give me a shout on Steam if you fancy some co-op funtimes
