Yeah, Ammo cash and Eridium are all shared, any kind of gear isn't and it's not instanced.

Wait, what? IGN review or some major publication's video said otherwise.

From IGN: "Since loot is shared you need to pick your partners carefully. Playing with strangers or super aggressive friends means you�ll likely find yourself in a race to see who can grab everything the fastest, and that�s really not all that fun."

They're not really specific but in the video they are showing guns being picked up.

I know this is last minute, but if anyone is having issues with their credit card on GMG, give your bank a call on the phone and ask for the fraud department. I work in the fraud department of a huge bank and we have an automated system that (somewhat haphazardly) attempts to stop suspicious activity by denying charges and putting temporary warnings or even holds on member cards. You might have to wait a bit on the phone, but letting them know your account hasn't actually been compromised should remove the block and let you use the site.

I would assume it'd be similar to the first game since nobody seemed to have any major problems with that and I doubt they'd change gameplay that much between these two games.

Welp looks like BL2 will be a solo experience for me just like BL1 was.

I got sixty hours playing solo as soldier with the original Borderlands, so hopefully this hits me the same way. It's a shame the review embargo seems to go up at the same time as release. Hopefully I'll be able to get Steam to start downloading the game tomorrow morning before work (providing the reviews pan out of course).

If you're talking about the 25% off code, that stopped working as of noon today. This code works for 20% off, though:
code:
GMG20-AWDF9-Q1PEY

That's the code I've been trying to use but its not working for me at the moment. The entire site seems to be having all sorts of problems though.

I've had to do this with my Mastercard. Last time I used my Visa it went through but then Visa went and cancelled my card. I just link that poo poo to my paypal now and haven't had problems since.

Just play with fellow goons and you will be fine. There will surely be enough guns for everyone.

Yeah, I went from impulsively wanting this, to deciding to wait until xmas sales and hitting my backlog instead

I'll let you pick up all the guns if you want to co-op with me :ohdear:

Well I'm sure glad I grabbed it for $36 from GMG yesterday (got emailed the code instantly) and it's now unlocking. Would have been twice the price at (AU) retail.

Dude just get some online friends and play coop. You can talk to people and let them know what you want.

I'm so tempted to pull the trigger on this, but my computer's processor is under the min. specs. I'm well above on ram and gpu, I hope that will be enough to run it smoothly.

It's been a while since I pre-loaded a preorder through Steam. Will it unlock automatically or do I need to re-boot Steam after midnight, or something else?

I believe a steam restart is in order and then it'll auto unlock when you log back in.

It was always fun to phasewalk and sprint to the chests to gank loot in pub games. It was a very profitable way to troll.

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who did this.

Phasewalk was great because it was beneficial to use both in combat and outside of it. I'm hoping Phaselock will be equally as fun to abuse and/or troll with.
