I've seen the game streamed a couple of times. It had some interesting mechanics, but at the time was still a little bland in the long run.

Quoting: BeamboomI think it is so odd that a port is dependent on the sales on another platform. I see this often so I guess there is a reason for this, but how come?

Maybe they're calculating with percentages. If there's 100.000 Windows buyers, you can expect 1000-2000 Linux customers, which would make it worthwhile.

That'd be my idea. It certainly makes more sense than asking people for interest in the Steam discussions.

Quoting: EhvisIIRC, the DLCs are all set at level 30 in normal mode. So that's not really an option either.

They are set to different levels, starting at 15, so it's easy to start a new game, level up on first missions and go to DLC. That's what I did. It would have been strange if they were set to the same level, because a player would start one at its recommended level and finish it as too overlevelled for others.

Ah, then it must be the Headhunters that are 30.

Quoting: EhvisSolution is to switch to True Vault Hunter Mode so the DLC are back at your character level.

Or to start a new game as a different character.

Quoting: Kelsso maybe just getting the base game rather than GOTY is a better idea? It'd certainly be cheaper, and I'm unlikely to play much co-op.

Personally I would get the GOTY anyway. The two extra playable characters in there are actually very good (I used one of them my entire 160 hours of game time) and easily worth the difference.

With some determination and a little bit of cheesing (would I do that? :whistle: ) you can finish the DLC as well. I only got into real trouble in the Hammerlock DLC where you can actually have trouble with a couple of the regular enemies. Need to pick it up again to do the Tiny Tina DLC, which is supposed to be fantastic.

Quoting: KelsUgh, I'm not sure I can resist the temptation to finally get Borderlands 2, especially when the GOTY edition is less than CDN$10 and I've got a buck or two that I made selling cards sitting on my account. Probably mostly play it single-player, but looking around I gather it's not too bad in that mode when you've got all that DLC to run around in.

The base game is great for solo play. Also a lot of gameplay. It took me almost 90 hours to finish all the quests (including the creature arena from the DLC).

The DLC are a different story. When you finish the base game, you're going in over levelled for the DLC and they're no fun at all. Solution is to switch to True Vault Hunter Mode so the DLC are back at your character level, but that makes them quite tough. Some of the bosses can't even be taken down with a full load of ammo. Look like they were clearly balanced for co-op so that the fight just continues after one of the players dies.

Quoting: TheRiddickThe bug fix done to Mod Organizer 2.1.2+ usvfs system isn't a 100% fix, all it does is allow it to load but not mount anything sadly. Maybe next time.

Let me guess, Mod Organiser is a .NET application?

So far I've only used this sale to gift a couple of things. I've come to a stage where I actually have to take time to look through all of the stuff to see if there's stuff I still want to buy. Probably a good thing since I already have a lot of stuff I still want to play, but haven't had time for.

Also note that actually getting the Steam Link delivered will cost you more than the Steam Link itself.

Quoting: GuestMan, imagine if Serious Sam 4 had day one GOG support.. That'd be tight

They'd have to mess with it a bit I think. Currently Fusion is about DLCs which are obtained through the ownership of other games. Technically not a big issues, but probably quite confusing on GoG. Then again, Fusion itself could reasonably be called ConFusion.

Yes it would be nice to have contemporary ports; but at least they exist.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't know. Nice to see Icculus was already one of the main people involved back then. I am guessing that it shouldn't be hard to do an update and build Linux support into the Steam or GOG versions?

I'm not so sure the sources are still available. I own a whole bunch of LGP games on DVD. Only a couple made it to Steam. X3 Reunion and Jets'n'Guns were actually re-ported by the developer. Egosoft even accepted my LGP code to activate X3 on Steam, which was pretty incredibly. Other than that, I've only seen some "wine ports" like Gorky 17 and Knights and Merchants. In other words, there are no original LGP ports available at all.

Not really my sort of game. But it's popular and it will help bring the next game to Linux, so it's definitely a good thing!
