According to complaints across the web, the co-op feature of Borderlands is well and truly busted on the PS3. Over at the official forums, gamers seem pretty angry and the team is yet to respond on a time line for the patch. Symptoms of the bug include freezes when opening the public game list and a general lag-filled experience.

now! it couldn't be just perfect!,you guys wanna know why it has those flaws? because publisher give developers less time to program it,and just sell it and deal with errors later, just sell! sell! sell!,asking testers for ridiculous deadlines and a underpaid staff(even if it's outsourced),GAMERS PLEASE COMPLAIN!,ask for quality,not fuzzy bugged games, in evrey industry there's a purpose and on this one, is entertainment NOT CRAZY PROFIT!.
dev houses,this is supposed to be an interesting and fun carreer,what a way to ruin videogames.
Any career is supposed to be interesting and fun, but the whole world runs around money deal with it, this will continue happening until the developers get more experience with the PS3 architecture (or Sony does a better job with the SDK).Originally Posted by driojas
Nintendo learned their lesson with the N64, and created systems (Gamecube and Wii) developer friendly, Sony with their arrogance didn't care for developers and now gamers are paying the price (and I am sure also the developers).
Nah Nintendo just got lazy that's why their system isn't that technical. They got lucky with the Wii.
But this happens a lot when games are released on more than one console. Im pretty sure they knew it wasnt working when they released the game, they just didnt have enough time to fix the problems. We would have better quality games if we had hell of a lot more Exclusive games but its all about the money.
i can actually vouch for this. my buddy was working for 2K games in the san fernando valley as a game tester for this game. he said in the beginning it was truely buggy as **** (but that is to be expected), and towards the end they said that the release date was SET and that no matter what the game was shipping. so they tried to pump out as many fixes as possible.... but you can only do much.
he started out testing on the 360/ps3 ... but moved over to the pc towards the end but im still ganna give him **** for it lol
it couldnt be because multi plat games launch the same time and the ps3 takes alot more work to pull off the same ****? theyre not going to hold back the more successful version on the 360 for the version that is guaranteed to sell much less to play catchup. that would be just stupid.
My ps3 is way better then yours.

Ok then what's your point of view?,and what stupidity,this is real life dude
They fixed it
As wolfman just said they fixed the problem.
Also the problem was confirmed to be server side and not the PS3 game.
off-topic response: The only system Nintendo has made that "isn't that technical" is the Wii.
on-topic: If this was an actual problem with the game code, how is it that all the reviewers missed it? I see it's been mentioned that it was a server issue.

Welcome to three years ago. Developers are becoming more adept with the PS3. Most multiplatform games being released now are equal on both platforms regardless of the "extra work" it takes for the PS3 version.
hey sirxlaughs long time no see. your right I think the devs mentioned that the bug was missed by QA because there was no way to recreate it in their test environment but I think the code tries to access the wrong matchmaking servers or accesses some backup list since some are complaining that friends they deleted from their friends list show up in the game.
After reading some of the "discussions" between yourself and some other members, I'm sure you'll understand why I just prefer to stay quiet.
I don't have the energy for it these days. Thanks for the info on borderlands. My brother picked it up for 360 at launch and is having a blast with it. He keeps bothering me to get it so we can co-op. Ah, to be young and not have to do anything all day but play video games. He'll understand when he gets a job. hah
I'm with ya brother. I remember when I use to be on these boards all the time as well. First time back in a year I think. Still hasn't changed.After reading some of the "discussions" between yourself and some other members, I'm sure you'll understand why I just prefer to stay quiet.

You wish you were me
You aint the first and you won't be the last
So whats your excuse for the Shifts 360 problems?
