I keep switching between the hunter, siren, and soilder, all are about lvl. 10-15.

Me, md and esper were talking about that as well. There should at least be some sort of mini map. I honestly hate holding select every min to see where I am supposed to be headed.

So how bad is the lag, glitches, freezing...etc... in this game?

It depends for me. I've had online games that have had 4 players run as smooth as butter, but 2 player games run horribly sluggish and everywhere in between. It's easy to jump from game to game though.

Outside of online play, you may have a quest item disappear which can be fixed by simply reloading your game. Though it seems the last patched took care of that bug. There is also a slight framerate drop sometimes when you score a critical, but it's nothing game breaking.

Those are my experiences anyway, though I don't know of any mid-late game glitches. Basically, any problems I've encountered with the game on a technical level haven't bothered me enough to not be addicted to it.

@blader16

Whats up, I will list the Issues I have ran in to.
The audio is out of sync like a skipping record.Really annoying
I have had to save quit then restart because bugs in quests.twice
Texture and level loading is horribly slow.every dam level
When fighting a large # of foes the frame rate will drop to a stutter for a few seconds.
I did not try co-op so I can't comment on that.

I quit playing the PS3 version because of all the above thank god i rented it.
I know that the PC version does not suffer from the above.
The only thing that bothers me about the PC version is that the menu control's clearly had no thought put behind them.

*don't get me wrong I LOVE this game but until a patch is applied I would recommend the PC version
Or wating untill the issues I mentioned are fixed or at the very least less commen.

/END TEXT WALL/

Thanks for the feedback. Quite a few other people from CAG have been telling me the same thing. I'll just have to wait till they patch it before I take the plunge.

EDIT: How soon do you think it'll be till they patch the VOIP problems & the framerates/lag?

they released a patch on 10/30 ,that was before I started playing so my guess is 2-3 weeks.

here is a LINK to the PS3 forums I could not find a post referring to a new patch anywhere.

Thanks again Gspoon.

I'll post the link if I find it.

First DLC, The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned, is out 11/24 at $9.99. I'll be grabbing the full game just after that, I hope. Looking to pick this up as a Black Friday deal.

Hope the DLC is hard enough for my lvl 50 character. I guess it would scale maybe.

I may be beating a dead horse here but I'm not giving Gearbox anymore money until they fix the VOIP on Borderlands.

Yeah. I really hope this is patched before I start my play with the game.

Hmm. That's true bmachine.
Sucks that I have to use Skype.
Cross game chat was delayed for early next year as well.

Yeah, Mguiddy and I have gone the Skype route, as well. It's flawless, but it's not exactly convenient. At least the VOIP problem has finally been acknowledged as a "known issue" by Gearbox on their forums. Their workaround for now is to set the audio-out on chat to your TV or sound system. Weak.

We pulled a group of 4 together the other night and we actually contemplated using the group chat on our 360s!

I read about cross-game chat getting delayed...something about an issue with EA, I think. It's unfortunate, really.

Will actually stop the VOIP from dropping out all the time? It sounds annoying but if it means I can actually hear the chat I might do it. To me it sounded like the characters were talking more than you guys.

Also, I finished this up last night. Here's where I'd complain about the ending being lame, but I blinked and missed the entire thing. Looking forward to going doing a second playthrough with my ridiculous exploding guns.

bladder, as i stated in a previous post, i cant even get online. i got signed out of psn every single time but once (and luckily i got the two friends trophy the first game i joined. i forgot to change my character to the one i was using so i was a level 1 and just left).

there are people on the gearbox forums that insist its my connection (and everyone elses that is experiencing the problem i am. has nothing to do with the game or the devs). i cant see this as borderlands is the one and only game i have ever experienced problems with online. i get signed out of psn every time i start this game when i dont even click on online game.

the one time i did get online, my friends list was completely blank and i wasnt getting any of the invites my one friend was sending me. didnt say anyone was online or offline and i know of at least 6 people on my friends list that has this game.

i never got to experience this game the way i wanted. which was the only reason why i bought this game. very repetitive playing by yourself.

Turn off UPnP on your PS3 settings.
That fixed it for me and a friend of mine when we couldn't connect online at all first time out.

Yeah, I'm just gonna hold off on this till they deploy a patch.... if they can even fix such an array of problems.

I think I'm 3/4 of the way through the 2nd playthrough with my friend. Level 48.

Couple Cags joined in for a bit, most recently QuantumPulse. That was an intense little spiderant battle near the end there.

my set up is exactly how it should be. its the shitty gamespy servers.

ive since been able to get on a few times, but the lag/frame rate issues are ridiculous with 4 players. i still periodically get signed out of psn for no reason though.

im bored with this game now and irked they are worrying more about getting the zombie dlc out before actually fixing all the issues with the disc game.

I feel really bad for you PS3 guys, cause this is such a great game. I've been having no problems on my 360, and I'm lovin every minute of it. I really hope they fix it for you guys before Borderlands 2 comes out!
