Borderlands Gets Patched on Consoles

I've played on PC and 360(at friends). I'm a pc gamer and have to say it "feels" better on 360 overall. I play it mostly on PC though. I think most annoying are the menus. This is a list of what I think needs looked into from highest priority to lowest. Overall I love the gameplay and it's really addictive. There are just a few things that get under my skin.


Game Breaking
* save character info on crash. (Last night we had to wait for our friend to log into single player to re-complete a quest so he could join back up with us - and he lost some loot - rare weapon). We could of had him create a new game to redo the quests, but he didn't have port forwarding setup.... Basically if the guy finds something awesome he might as well quit the game right away and rejoin...

Network
* shouldn't have to port forward and use gamespy. Gamespy was great 10 years ago and was the "first" platform that I've used.

Menus (can't remember all my gripes)
* I found it easier to take my hand off of the mouse and just use the keys. This is 'ok' until I have to use the mouse to change some things (pages in the menu).
* map - click-drag should move in opposite direction - I guess they never used google maps????
* story text - mousewheel please in addition to page up/page down
* tooltips should be closable (escape maybe)?
* mouse is 'laggy' it's like they pre-process it before displaying the mouse position

Misc
* shouldn't have to rename movies to bypass them in the intro

Features:
* drop box that is cross char capable??? - You made a loot game with no place to stash your shit?!?!?!
* e to pick up loot reloads my gun too (I know the same button is used for both actions on consoles). If I pick up something don't reload my gun also then.
I could just not loot during battle but health packs are necessary sometimes.

Good bug:
* after going into second wind sometimes I get back up and my walk speed is as fast as my run speed, and then my run speed is rediculous. This lasts until I zone out! I've had this happen a few times out of 10-20 hours of gameplay.

Supposedly weapons and gear can have more stat modifiers than what is able to appear on the four lines of available text, causing some things (especially like class mods) to have "hidden" effects.

IMO, this is a huge issue that needs to be fixed immediately. I'm playing this game because I love collecting and upgrading my equipment. How can I do that effectively when I can't even see all the stats on the equipment?

I see that there has been some discussion about the PC vs. consoles for this game. I bought it on the 360 platform for the worst of reasons: The Gamerscore points. I am such a rat to their pellet switch.

BUT WAIT.. aren't you supposed to start getting gear for your avatar on Xbox Live now too? OMG that makes it totally worth it!!!

I suppose it's too much to hope for that they might include a POV patch.

I feel like my eyeballs are being squished! I keep leaning forward to try to see off the edge of the screen.

My cheathappens account tells me that trainers work in this game.

Anyone know the online policy for this game and trainers?
I'd imagine that characters that have trainer modified stats shouldn't work online?

I'm thinking I'll wait a month and then pick it up on PC if the issues are fixed. I'm kinda glad that I listed to Nick Breckon's impressions on the idle thumbs podcast and then decided to take a wait and see approach. If they get the issues fixed I'll definately pick it up...if not I can find other stuff to play (I have a stack of unfinished games I've just started making a dent in).

Hahaha, I'm not used to seeing 'now works as intended' for anything other than WoW patches.

Here's hoping Phase Strike doesn't become another Arcane Missile.

does phase strike work on PC? I never tried it since I heard it was broken.

I still have to think of all those poor souls who are not online playes and have no internet connection to download those patches. Buying a buged game and they leave you like this ! Thats bad !

Live here in China and it's not that easy to get online with those xboxes !:(

Not including any form of Vsync or AntiAliasing is just unbelievable. I am able to force Vsync on via the Nvidia control panel, but that doesn't work with AA. For all the thick, straight pronounced comic book style lines everywhere, you would think they would allow me to take the jaggies out.

Yes i am playin it at 1920x1200, but it is still very noticeable. Specially after jumping in on it after l4d2....

I wouldn't get your hopes up for a substantial PC patch.

They lied to us about the optimization delay (optmized console sales indeed), they lied about DX10 inclusion, they lied about a custom PC UI. I'm not sure what version Randy Pitchford was playing, but they sure as fuck didn't sell it.

I consider us lucky it works as well as it does without a patch because it's a damn good game despite the marketing bullshit. If they patch anything regarding gameplay for the PC I would hope it's the driving mechanic. Normal WASD please.. mouselook steering and vehicular combat just sucks.

So... no mention of fixing the bug where the Y-axis inversion is not saved? Thought that would be a simple one.

Any word on a PC patch?

As many of us have said before, this is a fun game that has a good amount of potential - it just needs to be fixed/patched so that it actually IS a PC game rather than a port. I totally agree with Omen7288's remarks in his post.

Fix those things and you've just raised your game from a 7.5 to an 8.5-9.0 game. :)

So I guess we PC people have to wait for this patch to be optimized first.. and then it will arrive with no significant fixes as promised.

There's an exploit where the hunter can launch an unlimited number of birds that they need to fix asap.
