    Borderlands is a great game single player. It is an amazing game with three friends.

    Ditto this. I don't know how many hours I have into Borderlands, but only 5 or so of them were spent in multiplayer. It is a perfectly fun game single player.

    @Big Isy How did that work for you? I have been putting off playing BioShock 2 even though I have it installed for some reason.

    I prefer FPS with KBAM but for some reason I fell like I want to play it with my gamepad.

    I just settled with the KBAM and it was absolutely fine tbh. Its just that I played the first game on the 360 so I wanted to keep the feel of it.

    Something else that doesn't get mentioned often, but I always like to point out is that Borderlands is funny, which is something a lot of games attempt to do but fail at miserably.

    I wish my physical copy would register on Steam :(

    Yep. I am with you on that wish.

    I've never played Borderlands in multiplayer, but I would say 200 hours of total playtime is a good safe guess. And I started playing it again recently. It’s good by yourself though, if you appreciate loot grinding and leveling at all.

    If I buy Borderlands is there anyone to play with me? Like new guys since my level will obviously be so low.

    I had it for PS3 at one point, but always had to go solo since none of my friends had it.

    I would be interested in this.

    Can't buy a 4-Pack if you already own the game.

    I thought GOTY editions were considered separate entities from the base game, so you could own both, no?

    Either way, he either can't buy it at all, or if he can it will auto-assign one copy to him. Both suboptimal outcomes.

    I have a old friend who got the GOTY ed. for the DLC. He already had the base game. After purchase, he had 1 copy of base game + dlc. Is it possible to select purchase as gift from the store? I don't know how that works for a 4 pack.

    It's a big picture, long-road strategy game. Think of it as "Moneyball: The Game" but with soccer/football.

    Kind of like how people in the Crusader Kings 2 thread are jumping for joy when they successfully establish an heir, people who play Football Manager are ecstatic when two years down the road they have turned a miserable team into a playoff contender.

    It's the Paradox Interactive of sports games.

    I dont even like Sword of the Stars and I'm sitting here looking at II. It's only 9$!

    It has taken me 10 minutes to figure out that this isn't actually on Steam.

    I'm pretty sure you can gift a 4-pack. But all 4 copies get sent to one person. I suppose you could gift it to someone and then have them gift the other 3 back to you, but I'm just guessing.

    Does this Borderlands sale mean I'll finally have people to play with and a reason to install and play it? I got gifted it a while ago by Iolo or another PAer and have yet to give it a go.

    I was apprehensive about leaving Xbox Live to play this on Steam. That was a bad move

    Don't feel pressured over level. Once you get to Level 5, you unlock the skill tree, are sufficiently done with the tutorial side of things and should be good to host or join a game.

    Football Manager is more spreadsheety, and also I've got no idea what I'm doing. I played as Sydney FC (thinking a small shitty team playing against small shitty teams would be an easy introduction) and managed those bitches into the ground. My pro team lost a friendly match to my youth development team. I told them that their future employment depended on their performance, so felt obliged to get all firey, replaced a big chunk of the team, and now they're worse than ever.

    My team is Bayern München, and I don't really want to play as them because I know I'll just drive them into the ground too, everyone will leave and I'll be grabbing people off the street saying "Hey! Play for Bayern München tomorrow for $20!" And they'll say "Fuck off, I'm not playing for those losers".

    In CK2, on the other hand, I've torn apart anyone who could have been a rival, sunk them in decades of civil wars, and united them under my flag. Also under my boot. Whenever a rival kingdom looks too strong the king accidentally falls out of his castle tower, and the kingdom tears itself apart fighting for the top job. Whenever someone rebels I let them, say "Sure, son, lead your armies against me". And they go home, make themselves look nice before they address their troops... and accidentally cut their throats shaving, and all the troops go home. What a shame.

    I am interested in Borderlands for the PC. (Have it on xbox and loved it!) Though the timing is horrible. Played primarily solo, and did multi when the opportunity arose.
