i would assume adding certain lines to a configuration file somewhere would do it, have you googled at all? i don't have it on a computer so i haven't looked, but that would be my guess.

 

Yeah well I did some looking around and apparently I can just use a "force AA" option in my nvidia control panel. I turned it to 2x, 8x, and even 16x. There was no difference in performance or graphics at all. I am greatly saddened they didn't just put the option in.

 

I mean come on, I have PC games that are 5 years+ old that have Anti-aliasing. <_<

 

On another note though, I think that Borderlands is one of the few games that CAN get away with just aliased graphics. Only reason is because they use cell shading, which is beautiful to begin with and isn't hindered much without the use of AA. Other games that don't use cell shading just look horribly without AA.

honestly, having a crappy computer all my life and never really gaming on a computer, i don't even know what antialiasing does or anything. i just know it's there and apparently it makes things look prettier.

BORDERLANDS 2

Gearbox Possibly Confirms Borderlands 2 in Development

February 09, 2011

 

 

While Gearbox Software CEO Randy Pitchford was being interviewed by VG247 about Duke Nukem Forever, he either inadvertently or facetiously referenced another game his studio has been denying is in development for months.

Pitchford's exact wording about his current workload reads, "I'm sure Duke [Nukem] will have some demands of me and I've gotta work on Borderlands 2, right?"

 

As early as a few weeks ago Pitchford commented on Borderlands 2 Internet rumors with "What's Borderlands 2?" inferring he nor his studio has hatched the project as of yet. Those remarks now appear to have been a smokescreen put up to protect the official announcement which will come from publisher 2K Games at hopefully either GDC in a few weeks or E3 this summer, or Pitchford is deliberately pulling our strings and laughing at every news report confirming the game is in development.

 

Borderlands was released in October 2009 on Xbox 360, PS3 and the PC after undergoing a controversial radical change in art style. It's design taking weapons configuration "to infinity and beyond" and cell-shaded art helped set it apart from others in a crowded FPS genre.

 

By mid-December 2009, Borderlands reportedly had sold over 2 million copies across all platforms. Overall sales including a Game of the Year edition since release are said to have eclipsed 3 million total units.

 

Because of Borderlands' undeniable success, a sequel has been considered a no-brainer for the past year. Gearbox has already invested in the engine and weapons customization so their focus could be spent on improving the narrative and building upon the already robust 4-player cooperative mode from the original.

 

Borderlands 2 should remain propped up on the "maybe" shelf until we hear a more definitive confirmation.

I picked this up in the steam store over the summer, and just started. Got to level 20, but i'd much prefer to play co-op. Unfortunately, the online community is rather scarce now and rarely seem to speak. Anybody fancy starting up and coming on for some co-op.

I'm liking 2 but it seems I get junk guns more often. It's annoying. But the music isn't as intrusive, I like that you don't die as soon as your car explodes now, and the story missions get intense much faster than in the first one. Also liking the badass token system to increase your stats.

 

Anyway, everything burns and it's beautiful.

Also, I've been getting a ton of pistols. Maybe its because I started using pistols, and it gives you the gun you use the most. Haven't seen one SMG yet either. The pistols do have higher damage though, higher than most ARs I find.

I didn't see a smg until a good way into the game, and it took even longer to get an elemental smg. Pistols are just really common. And since they combined revolvers and repeaters into pistols, the high damage ones would be your old revolvers. It seems like it was a last minute decision since both types (revolvers and repeaters) still seem to be obviously in the game.

I have yet to see a shock or corrosive weapon, but have found tons of burning guns. Which is a shame, since corrosive are my favorite. Explosive weapons just seem really inaccurate to me.

 

I love the looks of guns now. Much more detailed, and the new minigun assault rifles are awesome.

I've found lots of shock' no corrosive yet. Found an awesome sniper, with like 98 accuracy, but high damage and shock. What makes it better is that it's fully automatic, with its high accuracy.

 

Also, did you guys also accidentally use your golden key in sanctuary?

I didn't get a corrosive weapon until the area I started running into armored enemies in. Infact I got it off one of their bodies. I guess it makes sense. Instead of throwing all the elements at you at once they like did in the first one, they give each one their time to shine before they introduce the next one.

 

Started a Co-op game with a friend, he chose the assassin and I chose the commando. I'm failing to see exactly where the commando shines. Also apparently badass tokens and stats carry over across character. So I have a commando that's speced for elemental weapons. The actual challenges do not though, though it's fine because at the later levels of the badass system, 1 rank isn't going to do much extra for you, so you can't just farm like that.

 

And yes, I used my key in sanctuary. The first day the game came out, the preorder bonuses didn't really work. So I never got the prompt about the key that you're supposed to get in the tutorial. So while I was in sanctuary, I saw a chest, and like any good borderlands player, I B-lined for it.

For those that used your free golden key at a low level, fear not. If you go to the main menu, then to extras and sign up for the Shift thing, you get a free key. (obligatory confirmation email required after signing up, of course.)

Played B2 with my friend yesterday. Makes me wish I had the money and a working disk reader again. :/

Many believe that the 1980 eruption of Mt. Saint Helens was a catostrophic geological event, in reality it was the day that Jimi Hendrix returned to Earth from the next world and actually stood up next to a mountain and chopped it down with the edge of his hand.

There is a portion of the storyline where you talk in Handsome Jack's voice to get through the security door. At least you aren't playing as Gauge, her standard voice is annoying as hell.
