How?
Watched the trailer off the VIP site, and... nothing. How do you get the points?

K&AJones

Should be at the top row...Insiders and then this page..... https://borderlands.com/en-US/vip-activities/

Still don't understand how watching that video translates into points - it's not like they give you a code.

Decker

You log in, click on the activity link, watch the video and the points will show in your Insider Profile. Pretty simple.

FYI, you can pick up a copy at Best Buy tonight. Just have to be in store before closing. Info here: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/video-g...at183100050001

"Just before closing" - That's a weird policy, huh? I will try for that tonight for my Super Deluxe Edition copy.

Deftones

Makes sense. Closing a store and then "opening" it back up for people is a PITA. Just let them in before closing, close the doors and let them out once they finish.

Blech. Game's unlocked for me to play now, but there's still 2 hours left to go for the game to download!
Why does the PS4 download so SLOW!

Did that, didn't seem to work, but whatever.

Decker

Hung around Best Buy until 9 and picked up my Super Deluxe Edition. Looking forward to playing it but will probably have to wait until tomorrow.

After the multiple hours of fun my partner and I had playing 2 and The Pre Sequel, this is the first game I dropped the $100 on for the Ultimate Edition.

At 11:01 last night I saw five on my friends list playing...I jumped in to check it out...three of us are grouping later tonight...with a solo/matchmaking character. Not going to say much...didn't go far anyways, just to get first Skill Point...but love the overall look they've done. While keeping that Original Borderlands Look & Feel...they added more details, enhancements along with lighting to make the game look far better.....the little time I had with BL3 last night was far better than the 6-7 hours with Ghost Recon breakpoint that's for sure....and I did not see a "Update/Patch" to load either.....


On a side note, I know a lot of times we just fly thru the view this and that on the BL official site for the point but I highly recommend this one featuring three of the composers, and the music for three of the areas....it's really good...and different. Worth a listen to.... https://borderlands.com/en-US/news/2...s-3-composers/

This game is...a bit of a mess on PC. I'm having a ton of issues navigating any of the menus with a controller. The menus (main menu, in-game pause menu, backpack, skills, etc.) will go completely unresponsive from time to time. I can still hear the in-game sound as if I'm selecting different elements, but nothing is actually happening. If I reach over and move my mouse, everything works as it should.

And the fact that you can't skip the opening cinematic is infuriating, especially since I want to try all the characters out before settling on one, and I don't want to sit through 5 minutes of cheeky bullshit every time I start a new game.

When things are working though, this seems like it'll be a pretty good time.

I went today to pick up my BB pre-order, and surprise they didn't have any copies. Evidently the warehouse team didn't pull enough. I don't understand what's so difficult if you have 10 pre-orders you set aside 10 copies. The earliest they can ship one to me is Tuesday. If it wasn't for the GCU discount I would go to GameStop.

Deftones

Fire off complaint to their Twitter or something. Maybe you get something out of it.

OldBoy

Why aren’t there any console reviews as of yet? Seems odd...

Having fun, but I'm on PS4, I made the mistake in downloading the free PSplus games on tuesday. So the BL3 dl started wednesday, still not fully downloaded. I can play solo but not multi.

My solo right now is Amara, I really like her. Once my co-op team goes Im the Flak player in my group. If anyone on ps, Im BigRx if want to coop.

I see them all over.

As of yesterday, I can say honestly there's been far more on my friends list playing this game than any other game that's come out in the last four years. It's been 8-11 people playing steady. Three of us started out together last night and we were all getting invites from others wanting to join them.....the response has been great.

One thing we did encounter that left us a bit puzzeled...Two started at the same time doing the intro quest solo. One could invite the other at the start. She stayed in one area just looking and checking the menus and all while he went out and got up to Level 4. I started and got to Level 2 and she could invite me but she could not invite him....me and her were Level 2. So we don't know if being just two Levels ahead or where you were in the story...he was ahead on the story part. We finally could invite him when we hit Level 4 and at the same point of the story.

OldBoy

could you link some? because gamerankings doesn't list any as of yet. thanks. just curiousity is all...

Michael Corvin

Does your google not work? I was going to post a lmgtfy link but that's not even worth the effort. Needless to say google pulled up a half dozen reviews. Metacritic also has a couple.

Didn't 2k hold the game back from most reviewers anyway? It's a 30+ hour game just for the campaign, probably double that with all the sidequests. So assuming reviewers got their copy yesterday like everyone else, they have a long way to go to get to a review.

lopper

They did, and for various reasons, but it sounds like the only outlet they were honest with was Giant Bomb, where they told them it was because of the 'sentiment of their E3 coverage'.

I switched from Moze to Amara today, and I'm glad I did. Moze's mech was too overpowered, and kind of boring. I could one-two shot a lot of enemies with it, but actually using the ability wasn't that fun. Amara is great, though. I like her Phasecast and Phasegrasp abilities a lot.

OldBoy

i don't know if it's bc of the recalibration i did to my tv or what, but g-damn does this game look so amazing. the colors fucking pop like i've never seen in a game before. gorgeous. i played a little co-op with friend. first time co-op, didn't like it. i don't have the heart to break it to him that i don't want to anymore and he puts so much pressure on me to do it. oh well. so much fun thus far...

nickdawgy

Did you just start over or can you switch mid game? I started with Moze, too.
