it's pretty fun. got to level 8 last night. solo play... but there's enough rpg in there that it's gonna feel weird playing with people a bit :lol: to be more clear, I haven't played enough to form a real opinion. I'm tentatively very much enjoying myself if they can keep up the RPG (and even ramp it up a bit as the game continues). Also, the little robot is like Navi, and I want to kill him to little pieces.Jandurin

You bought this eh? Im kind of surprised. But listening to the hotspot last night, they compared it to Phantasy Star Online. Whiiiich really makes me want to buy it.

Also, why is the review of this game hidden??

I've been anticipating Borderlands for much longer than Demon's Souls.

Good score and exactly what I suspected it would get....other than the .5 difference of course.

[QUOTE="delta3074"]the single player will keep the ps3 owners occupied till the patch it, it's a server issue so it should be patched most ricky ytick,lems can't claim ownage on this, it's not the ps3's fault, it's the devsRadecSupreme

I agree.

of course you agree, thats because you support the PS3. If this was the other way around you would be singing another tune. The bottom line is, you are talking about a patch once again. The multiplayer will never be up to par with the 360. GS review is in 8.5 for the 360, 8.0 for the PS3.

So explain why some games have online issues then. And if you say "bad developers" I laugh at you.

It's not bad developers it's clear they made a solid game here, but in all honesty. They should make sure these problems aren't apparent before the walk the game out the door. It's not bad developers, it's "negligent developers"

I think it's a combination of both. Negligence and hard-to-work-with PSN.

Well it's obviously not hard, I mean look at the list i've given you I mean also seeing how your grasping for straws it may not be worth arguing over. Because there are PLENTY of games and developers that have had no expierience and they've made it work.

Just another example of PSN lagging behind XBL in online gaming. Its a shame really. Oh well, I wouldve bought it on 360 or PC first anyway.

Ok I can dig that. But again see developers who actually took the time to work with it. They've made it work. So I think more so negligence than "hard to work with" At least I have the option to buy it for either or.

How many times will this happen.... Do the developers not notice that online component doesn't work? it could be PSN that is harder to work with for the developers but that still doesn't mean they are supposed to release a game that's broken.... doesn't make any sense

I really hope they fix Bayonetta. This game I couldn't care less about with October's NGS2, U2, R&C ACIT, Demon's Souls, and Brutal Legend backlog.

PS3 version seems to have online issues, co-op is a big part of the game. If you intended to play on your own, it shouldn't affect you.

I don't see why people complain about the lower PS3 score. I mean, the multiplayer is BROKEN, and it deserves the lower score. If it's fixed, then they may chabge the score to 8.5. It's all fair. People need to stop acting like GS gave the game a lower score just to make cows look bad.

It said the PS3 was suffering with some online stuff. Not a problem for me, I always get most multiplats for the 360. This game is awesome.

I don't know. I think multiplayer is what really elevates this game from just really fun to super crazy fun, and I think xbox live is the perfect way to play it online.

Or I might just be bitter about PC online gaming because of how hard it is to find a game on OpFlash 2 with less than 200 ping. Bah.

Uhh yes Demons Souls is great but I wouldnt start being a fanboy just because PSN generally sucks. Like I said before, the biggest game of the year for PS3 and theres only 10k people playing the damn thing online.

How do you figure that? Killzone 2, Resident Evil 5, Arkham Asylum, Uncharted 2, and Modern Warfare 2 are all pretty big games for the PS3. Modern Warfare 2 will easily be the biggest when it comes to playing online. CoD4 is still the biggest.

When the online gets patched and maybe the same score like that other game(I think it was a hockey game), you would say it's good, right?

Gamespot is losing me with these reviews. Like with 2K10 and borderlands. I guess they think they are getting waayy to good for gaming.

gamerlifegrace
It's not 2K10, it's NHL 10 that GS ranted about broken online which was fixed the day the game launched. Seem like more and more publishers tend to make the game on PS3 bad at launch on purpose. It'll be fixed though. And PSN is free unlike XBOX Live so no complaints for now.

Update from Gearbox:

Scott Velasquez (a Gearbox Software Engineer) has posted the following in the Gearbox Community thread on this issue:

Update on the North American PS3 Friends Interface issue:

We've identified the problem and are working on a fix.
Believe it or not, the friends feature was heavily tested by Gearbox and 2K. However, this particular issue we found could have never manifested itself in our or 2K's test environments.

We'll find out very soon if the issue exists for the PS3 International versions of the Borderlands. If it does, we'll hopefully have a fix implemented before it affects those customers.

We are doing everything we can to get this problem addressed as quickly as possible. Thanks to everybody who provided us with tons of information.

Agree about KZ2 is FAR inferior than R2. I hate it the moment I started playing it.

They don't do it on purpose. Developers have tough deadlines to meet placed by publishers. Especially at a time like this when there are so many games coming out. Oct 20th was the perfect date in between many other games, but it's the only major one that came out yesterday. If it's something that can be patched later, it makes more sense to do that instead of delay it where it might lose sales to all the other game coming out. Now let's just hope they do find it worth it to patch it.

Yes I know its great, but 10,000 people??? You realize the sales are supposedly in the 500k range. 2% of the people who bought the game are playing multiplayer? I thought the multiplayer was fun too. I feel like PS3 owners just generally dont like to play games online like on the 360. As much as people see the 360 and ps3 as very similar products, the difference in the online play is very apparent to me.

PSN doesnt suck mate. And how does the amount of players in a game show that PSN sucks? PSN is great, and the fault for this game was the developers. PC and xbox live haver their fair share of multiplayer errors. Which makes xbox live worthless if your paying for it.
