OMFG, I wish I had read this months ago. A friend got it for me so that we could play together and the two things that just sucked were, first that it just kills my PC. Graphics just turn into a complete mess like I'm in some sort of alternate alternate Borderlands Universe.

Once I got the video graphics turned down to lowest settings and very low resolution (normally play everything else at 1600 x 1050), I finally get it stable enough to get through the game to the Doc. It is crazy to think that it doesn't work at a good resolution because I just got a new 275GTC OC.

So we started trying to do the networking part to play together, and that's when the fun begins...

OMFG, about the networking part, it was like "Who did it and ran?" This is like we're going back to 1999. I'm sure that the rest of the game was ported over from console, but because PS3 and Xbox both have built in services to handle the online portion, they didn't budget for creating one for the PC. It looks like they got some student to do it for them on the cheap or even for free so he can put it on his resume. What a nightmare it is to connect to someone.

We did however get to play together for about 30 minutes. It's a fun ass stylized game. Until the video crapped out again, and the vehicle we were in basically turned into the Partridge Family bus.

Hopefully the new rig I'm trying to build will let me play with minimal issues.
