Blands2 on pc?
I got this coming for the 360 but started debating on getting it for the pc as well. I have a decent system recently upgraded with a gtx 680. Just wondering if anyone else will be on the pc at all and if you think there is really any reason to get it on both systems?
I'm getting it on PC. Mr402 is my Raptr name. Is it a steam title?
Yeah, looks like it's being sold on steam.
If you're getting 2 copies, might want to take advatage of this deal to get the PC version for 36 bucks right now. I'd be tempted to get it on PC if the saves were cloud and i could continue my game on PC as a secondary location when I didn't have access to my xbox. But i don't think borderlands 2 is capable of that.
Site to order from: http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/us/en/pc/games/rpgs/borderlands-2-na/
Coupon to use: GMG25-1BW0K-K1A3G
Discount makes it a 36.00 purchase on PC.
I want to..just to see how big the difference in the graphics is...but to be honest...I really probably don't have the time or patience to work off two systems. It would be different if there was cloud saves like you mentioned, but oh well. Still have a blast on the xbox ^^
I canceled my preorder from Amazon and went with that deal you mentioned Tank so good heads up on that one. Sticking with PC version obviously because of the discount. If anyone needs a Steam pal for this my ID is MrSouthSioux. Can't wait to shoot and pick up all that sweet, sweet loot!
I'm curious how steam works for mp in games like this. I freely admit most of my pc gaming has been done in mmos the last decade except for brief diversions into civ5, starcraft2 and an addiction to Warhammer 40k's The Last Stand. Is there decent voice support in steam for something like this or do you need to go through something like vent? Or is voice support even in the game itself? I watched a comparison vid for the nvidia physx stuff and the particle generation, cloth movement, ect was eye catching. I guess I've been on the xbox for so long and ignored steam I don't really know the options of it.
Thoughts or insights?
Can't comment on the voice support for BL1 since I only had consoles at that time. Steam voice chat works great especially the new BIG picture mode which simulates a interface similer to 360/PS3 for big screen televisions. SInce that's what I pc game on it's like a home away from home. Big Picture also supports xbox or ps3 controller and there guide buttons! So you can bring up friends list in game and use 360 controller chat interface etc also Big pic has one of the most intuitive and amazing controller text input controls I have ever seen. THe mode is still in beta but it is amazing what a difference it has made for me.
Well I traded some games in today and paid off my 360 version and a pc version. Sent you an invite on Steam as well.
