No, but I recently downloaded the original via the PSN for free as part of my Playstation Plus membership.

Seems a bit slow to begin with and my character is seriously under-equipped to deal with most of the enemies except the Skag's. Does it get more interesting as the game progresses?

Sorry to go slightly off-topic...

Got this on PSN too after all the hype, seems like Bioshock on land but crap.

It does take a bit of getting used to but it is worth it if you persevere...

[HRL]

Cheers. I'll put a few hours into it and see.

unsure whether or not to get the pre-order for the extras hmm.

can't wait to get back into this though, loved the original

[_Batty_]

put fecking hours into this game with a mate. Loved it.
Really slow and clunky to start, but well worth it once you've got toxic etc weapons.

Soo tempted to pre-order...

[Stu R]

Loved the first one, tempted to go back and redo it before doing the second one - got it pre-ordered

[YesItsAVW]

Loved the first one! Have ore-ordered and pre-loaded the sequel, waiting for it to unlock!

[DeadMeat_UK]

Pre-loaded. Very excited - I got utterly addicted to the original.

Out on the piss tonight, so can't play until tomorrow :-(

Dilemma as to character. Played both soldier and sniper through in the original. May go for Berzerker this time.

[YesItsAVW]

Does it unlock tonight for the UK?

Don't make any other plans for the next month

Nope, Friday for the UK.

However if you have pre-ordered on steam you could probably use a VPN to unlock it today,
might give that a go later.

[Broshnat]

For anyone who already has the game and is stuck, there is a walkthrough up:

1. My First Gun
2. Blindsided
3. Cleaning Up the Berg
4. Best Minion Ever
5. The Road to Sanctuary
6. Plan B
7. Hunting the Firehawk
8. A Dam Fine Rescue
9. A Train to Catch
10. Rising Action
11. Bright Lights, Flying City
12. Wildlife Preservation
13. The Once and Future Slab
14. The Man Who Would be Jack
15. Where Angels Fear to Tread
16. Toil and Trouble
17. Data Mining
18. The Talon of God

I think once they've run through the main game, they'll be doing the side missions and the co-op.

Looking forward to Friday, hope it doesn't take too long to download!

It is against the Steam rules - not going to risk it personally for the sake of a couple of days...

[YesItsAVW]

I'm off to Silverstone all weekend and can't have a go until Tuesday next week, that was bad planning wasn't it!

[...Mole...]

Played about 4 and a half hours of it last night, It's very good.
The gun's feel a lot better a lot of variety and it is quite challenging so far!
I got pretty lucky and a very powerful MIRV grenade mod dropped early so that's been coming in handy.

You have possibly downloaded the wrong game, because the Borderlands I played was nothing like Bioshock?

Also, much better in co-op, so play with friends and it is a much better game.
