well I noticed my frame rate drop by about half when there's a bunch of guys on screen.

so... not sure if I could play online with people properly

you're still using your old card?
Well the game is supposed to be able to run on a 9800, so drop your settings maybe

this is what I've got. Is there any way to get bl2 to work without geting slow-y?

I'm still a novice with specs so I have no idea

I have no idea what "Mobile Intel Graphics Media Accelerator 4500M" is but I'm pretty sure that means integrated graphics in which case no game will run well It's running off your CPU.

Yeah, it's integrated. It's the same class and only about one notch higher than the IGC that was in my 2007 MacBook. I don't think BL2 would be too happy on that chipset.

yea fuck this. yesterday was just child's play compared to today. I had a few enemies on screen yesterday which slowed my PC down only a little.

today I had a bunch of enemies on screen (with lowered specs mind you) and it was twice as slow.

it's still... playable I guess, but if we're talking multiplayer, you'd probably just see me shooting in random directions, since it slows my PC just enough where I'd be aiming at a bad guy in one frame, then the next frame, he'd be on the other side of my screen

Borderlands 2 is the new Skyrim, and this shit is going to drive me crazy until I get the game
The whole fucking internet has it already...

Like I thought Black Mesa was going to be like this but everyone's already forgotten about it.

I still think the game should be like, $40

that's what I hate about sequels. they charge full price for something that ends up feeling like DLC.

It feels nothing like DLC

have you played alan wakes: american nightmare? it's like, a separate game, but at the same time, it's just... not enough change

How about we try it tomorrow, Milo? What class are you and what level are you at?

I'm that... weird skinny guy whose face you can't see. I had no idea what exactly his specialization was. I assumed he was a sniper or something, but all they showed was his blade.

I'm at level 7 right now... lol, not far at all.

Me and Kaizy are both that guy too.

I got a commando class I could get to level 7 or 8 quickly.

he looked cool... I couldn't help it

in games, I generally go for the stealthy assassin types.

I also like playing as support characters if it allows that. like healing types and shit. although I don't think this game has that

Axton has a support turret and maybe a few healing abilitys later. I dunno. I doubt Maya can heal.

I'm kind of shallow with my choices too. I usually end up picking the hot dude

in which case, I WOULD have picked axton... but I thought the assassin looked cooler.

I just like sniping so I'll probably pick the assassin guy. That huge guy looks awesome as well, but I don't generally play as heavy characters.

even if I did play online, I have to remember that my PC has been blue screening lately when I play games. it's random though, so I never know when or if it'll happen while I'm playing a game.

All characters can be tweaked to use any sort of gun unlike the last game where gun skill was based on class more. If you really wanted too you could pick the gunzerker and go dual sniper rifles the whole game. I picked zero and I guess I'm sorta going for a TF2 spy kinda build. I use revolvers and like to kill people with the blade a lot.

So are single player and multiplayer separate, or are they integrated, like do you use the same character in both and you can get xp and level up playing either? Yeah I've never played a multiplayer RPG actually.

integrated

that's how it works with most online adventure/RPG games these days.

You can join people, play be yourself or have others join you all with the same character. You gain experience for them accordingly. You can make as many different characters as you like.

do any of you have mics?

I finally did manage to get one. After the chats ended.

I just like sniping and Im a decent shot if the hosts connection doesnt blow
