They may simply not automatically email when keys are available, but rather when the game technically unlocks. Wait, are you saying you got BL2 on GMG and they already gave you a key, or are you talking about another game / in general? I bought a copy on there last night and my key page is empty.

I'm looking around for a key but I still don't see one. Weird. I just downloaded and played five hours of the game. Just kidding. My account is the same way. I assume we'll get keys on release day. Some people just have their keys available early, not that it'll do them any good.

fookolt posted:A 4.5gb preload? drat, that is tiny. I imagine they'll send over a second chunk when it unlocks or something? Nope, not usually. Skyrim was a small file, as well, and a lot of people balked at how such a large game could come in a such a tiny package. There might be a day-one patch or quickfix released, but I'm fairly sure you have the entire game encrypted on your HD right now.

Their system seems retarded as hell, since people who bought the game Thursday got their keys instantly, and people who bought the game weeks ago have finally gotten their keys. There's no real rhyme or reason to it. Personally, I'm going to wait until Sunday evening before I shoot them an e-mail.

Regarding the Mechronmancer DLC, I received a single key from GMG which enabled me to add and preload Borderlands 2 on Steam. It looks like the Mechromancer DLC is listed and downloaded separately in the Steam Library, but I see no mention of this. Is there a second (unreleased) key for that, or does preordering the game on GMG not entitle you to it?

WienerDog posted:I have physix on Med with an ATI card (6970), but people have been reporting playing on High physix with lower end ATI products. I want to say that (most of) the people claiming to run Physx on "high" with 5-series and older ATI cards are not actually getting 60 FPS. They're probably getting a playable framerate, but their eyes need to be checked if they think there isn't a significant impact to performance while running with the Physx cranked up. For me, on a 5850, it's night and day between "low" and "high", especially during firefights like the one with BoomBewm. Now let's make this fuckin' city fly.

slogsdon posted:Isn't PhysX handled by the CPU if you don't have an nvidia card? Probably. I've got an i7 and running with "High" Physx definitely socks framerates in the dick. It's playable, but it's probably about an average hit of 15 FPS (during firefights, of course. Walking around exploring, the difference is virtually nonexistent.)

Fellatio del Toro posted:It'd be cool if there was an option between One Million Particles and Zero Particles. Would not be surprised though if that's part of some horseshit licensing deal with nvidia. Yeah, I definitely don't like the aesthetic difference between Physx on "low" and Physx on "Medium." Entire features completely disappear on "low", simply because they don't have a non-Physx equivalent. Sparks, blood, debris, limbs. We've had all of those things in games for the last couple of decades without needing to use Physx, is it so much to ask for some of those things to have less-intensive static versions?

I don't believe there's an option for that, at least in the menus. I just found (and got my Level 5 rear end handed to me) Ebonfloe and the Icy Coasts outside Liar's Berg. On a previous character that I scrapped when I got to Sanctuary, I didn't encounter any quests taking me to these places, so I want to say you find them only through exploration. Either way, very cool. I've almost died in the frozen waters so many times.

Fellatio del Toro posted:Oh man it's not an orange but this motherfucker rules: I'm seeing an ornate dildo in that barrel. Very nice. Kukash posted:Anyone else find the Commando kind of boring. I'm only level 14 but it seems like all I do is throw down turret and snipe dudes. Maybe I'm playing him wrong but it's getting a bit stale. I started playing a Commando and, after spending 15 minutes shopping for perks, thought, "You know, this is CoD class." Only instead of Soap, I named my Commando, "Soap and Water". A lot of emphasis on rifles, movement, reloading, and cover with an equal amount of emphasis on support-by-fire (the turret) role. It enables you to play the game as, surprise, a commando. There's a lot of medium-range firefighting and locking down avenues of approach with the turret(s). Speaking of which, I can imagine the Commando being a pretty powerful force if you choose the trait that lets him lay down two turrets--especially if those turrets are upgraded. If you don't like the idea of something else doing a lot of your killing for you while you toss grenades and take out targets of opportunity, I doubt the Commando or the Mechromancer are going to be your thing.

ThisIsACoolGuy posted:Super late so sorry if this has already been discussed half to death but played Borderlands 1 through a single time and was done with it, the total lack of any plot, and the dull as hell setting just through me off (mainly just brown everywhere grew old.) I want to say that Borderlands 2 improves on both of your gripes, but the story still isn't super great or important. That being said, the characters have a lot more personality, and the world feels more alive. Plus, there's definitely a greater variety of environments, and the game looks great. Borderlands 2 is still a loot-driven Sci-Fi Diablo game in an FPS package, though. If the setting and story turned you off to the first one, I can't see you having a completely different opinion about its sequel, because those were never really the selling points of the game.

Found this on my Level 7 Commando. I had already selected a skill that caused my health to regenerate after my shields were topped off. This makes that really easy. The drat thing regenerates almost immediately after getting hit, and then my health starts climbing again. Sure, it might be obsolete in the future, but for such a low level? Get out of here. Also, I just spent the last 30 minutes screwing with Goliaths. Pop their head off and kite them around so they wreck other opponents, level them up, and then take them down. It's so simple, but so fun.

A while back, somebody mentioned that they had somehow gained infinite ammo without using a weapon flagged as having infinite ammo. I figured they were simply using a weapon that had the stat hidden. But just now, I was in the middle of a firefight when I began reloading a rocket launcher--I interrupted the reload and switched to a different weapon, began firing, and realized I wasn't using any ammo. I tried it on my other hotkeyed weapons, and they were limitless, too. Then I swapped weapons out with some in my inventory and those were unlimited, too. I haven't tried reproducing it yet, but it seems like it could be a strange trick to giving yourself unlimited ammo (for a session.)

Am I crazy for finding the various robots to be one of the more enjoyable categories of enemy to fight?

Filthy Monkey posted:That isn't actually a bonus. It is saying that it has 180% crit damage instead of the normal sniper rifle 200%. I'm under the impression that the "+" next to it means additional, like, "In addition to the base critical hit damage..."

Borderlands 2: KEY KEY KEY KEY KEY KEY KEY KEY or, "How I Stopped Caring About 87 Bazillion Guns and Became Obsessed with a Single Chest." I just busted into the Caustic Caverns. This one place has more color, character, and atmosphere than most FPS games I've played in the last few years, and great music to match. Sometimes, Borderlands 2 feels like Gearbox took random ideas one step further, and made them a reality. Toxic pools? Make it so that giant bubbles form, which you can shoot so that they burst into toxic clouds. Generic super-aggressive dude? Make it so that you can turn him on his buddies, and he'll level up into a progressively larger and more ridiculous abomination. How do we make it clear that this is the Wal-Mart of gun manufacturers? How about, instead of reloading, you throw the loving weapon, and it explodes? And the more rounds that are left in the magazine, the more powerful the explosion? This game.

Yaos posted:I think I've hit the end of the game. I don't have enough ammo to kill the constructor boss and all it's minions on the dam, but if I leave to get more ammo I have to go all the way back to the start of the area so everything will just respawn again. Not that it matters, I don't do much damage to the boss and there's about a bunch of minions, yet I had no problem killing everything before the boss. Have you bought more ammo decks from the creep in Sanctuary?

Yaos posted:Yes, I bought all the first ones, some of the 2nd ones for some of them. What class are you playing as? I did that mission on singleplayer as an average-leveled Commando and had to fall back a few times, especially during cooldowns/when my turret got smashed. I found that using shock-based weapons really helped. Change your loadout (if you haven't already) to use shock-based MIRV grenades, and hotkey the hardest hitting, splashiest-damaging rocket launcher you can find. Open up with your rockets and grenades so that you can clear out most of the robots the Constructor generates. Don't reload if your weapons have a higher reload score than 3 or 4; pull out your next weapon. You're going to have to get used to Constructors. This first one? It's just the beginning.

Midgets have so much personality that I weep whenever I am forced to kill one. Regular bandits (I call them "normies") eh...not so much. If their face is hidden behind a mask, I am incapable of feeling empathy for them. I also feel strangely dirty for killing the Volatile Crystalisks. It's like killing an elephant--a gorgeous, three-legged, bedazzled elephant. Regarding Maliwan: They make revolvers, but they generally resemble Mateba revolvers in the sense that Mateba revolvers don't really look much like revolvers.
