I’ve only played on Console, back than I never had a top of the line gaming computer but now I do. It’s on sale now on steam so I was thinking of picking it up and give it a try. However I’m a very picky buyer, I like to read reviews/others opinions on what they thought about it before buying.
So how is it? It seems a bit weird, Borderlands I’m so used to just sitting back on the couch, have some pop near by, with a nice warm blanket (winter setting) with my cat laying beside me. We would just do side missions or farm for weapons for the whole night lol. PC though, can’t do that unless I have the steam box lol.

Performance-wise, its superior to the consoles. The rest is a thing of habit and preparation.
How about connecting your PC with your TV and use some wireless controller to chill out? Or just try to get used to that feeling of pc-gaming.
But whatever Case, I’d say: go and get the game for Pc too.
[quote=“Cody2Hottie, post:1, topic:1527758”]PC though, can’t do that unless I have the steam box lol.[/quote]I’ve been doing this with a Bluetooth keyboard and wireless mouse for so long I forgot that some people are still leashed to their PC by wires for these things.
If you’re considering moving to a keyboard and mouse, you’re going to learn a fresh batch of muscle memory. Keyboards are largely built the same in terms of button placement, but you have a huge variety of mouse configurations available. I would highly recommend a (wireless) trackball of some sort (pick your favorite - I’m in love with Logitech’s M570). This lets you plant the mouse wherever is comfortable, and it doesn’t have to move from there. When I’m kicking back with my feet on the ottoman, I have the keyboard on my thighs and the mouse on the arm rest. My friends who use controllers always seem to rest it on their chest, which you can still do with a trackball mouse.
What I’m basically saying is, if you’re going to pick up a new set of muscle memory, don’t waste it on one that inherently limits your playing position. At some level, these trackball mice are like an extremely good half of a controller, with a keyboard for the other half. When you’re done playing (or you want to ALT+TAB to some other program), your hands are already on the controls for your PC as well.
It plays better than it ever did in consol, there are user created dlc’s (not sure if you could get those on consol) I don’t have a top end gamming computer by any means just a standard laptop and I plays excellent so no need to worry there, eve to this day 7 years after its release I have just as much if not more fun in that game than bl2
I use an Xbox 360 controller with the Windows PC and steam, and it works great with Borderlands/2/TPS. The wired controller is recognized by just plugging it in. For a wireless controller, you will need a “Wireless Receiver for Windows” and the Microsoft drivers for it. I have used both a Microsoft receiver and a Chinese knock off. The Microsoft receiver maintains the connection better than the 3rd party receiver.
My nephew uses a PS3 controller with a usb cable with Borderlands/2/TPS. I think it will work with bluetooth, but he has not tried that. He had to add some 3rd party drivers to Windows for it to work.

“We?”
If it was Borderlands 2, then your cat could play Maya with the Legendary Cat com.
My only real gripe with the PC version is a problem that it shares with the consol, no fov slider but this can be fixed with some minor tweaking to the code
