Feedback -- Borderlands Edition, Controversial Call of Duty, and Netflix on PS3

91 Comments Posted October 29, 2009 - By Andrew Pfister

True story: I was prepping this post for this week's episode of Feedback, when I realized that Brian was about to describe what was contained in the leaked Modern Warfare 2 footage this week. I stopped the video player just in time, then decided to get a soda. Came back to my desk, and without thinking I hit "play" and boom: spoiled. I can be forgetful, sometimes. If you don't want to know what happens, pause your player around the 1:00 minute mark and skip ahead to 8:41. As for the spoiler itself...holy crap.

Feedback -- Borderlands Edition »

Stuff you shouldn't skip through:

Netflix streaming is coming to the PlayStation 3, does that mean we're getting the Sony movies back?
How does this affect the multimedia front in the Console War?
The group plays dress-up with their digital avatars -- who is for, and who is against?
Borderlands has lots and lots and lots and lots and lots of weapons. Is there a real difference between what you use?
Did Gearbox miss an opportunity to extend the replayability by mishandling the itemization?

i think borderlands if not the first but one of the few developing games that are trying to put different creative games

How did Morgan Web get her job.
She doesn't ever add anything useful to the discussion.

I think I've seen that the PS3 Netflix is at the base price on every game news site over the last few days.
Wow morgan, stick to the MMO Report and let Abby talk about anything useful.

Great job everyone on Feedback!!! I'm loving the program and format. Ever thought about inviting a registered user on the show via phone or live to chat with you all about games? I think the one thing missing from all these shows is the everyday gamer that's not tied to the industry. Anyhow, keep up the great work!

I really like the new "Adam's Obscure Reference" bar! (kudos!)

How is it difficult to navigate in the XMB? You are right, that it is not advertisement heavy as the NXE is, but isn't that a good thing? As for knowing what is available, that is what the new "What's New" feature is for, which I happen to use much more often than I had previously thought I would. With the XMB, everything is right there for you, with NXE (and it was much worse with the original dashboard), I feel that you have to shuffle around quite a bit more to find what you are looking for. Also, to my understanding, Microsoft just recently released a new update that allowed a search feature? That helps tremendously in any online interface. I feel that the PSS is much more simplified than the XBLM, I just don't understand where the difficulty lies, even for the less knowledgeable consumers.

I still have to get my hands on Boarderlands, but it looks like a pretty sweet game, although I don't think I will end up playing too much co-op.

This has been an interesting year in terms of coop. Uncharted 2 and Borderlands have excellent coop. I hope other developers learn from this and use it where it works best.

seriously abbie, "it's a game is simply *not* a good argument for buying yet anoher music game. are you serioul going to argue hat a rock band session is more rewarding than jamming with your buddies in real life? in the long run, you'll actually spend less money because you won't be buying every new peripheral and ne installment i the tired franchise. music games are fun, i'll gran you that, but playing a guitar in real life will get you much more sex
