Borderlands 2 An Introduction to Sir Hammerlock Trailer [HD] (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmGsTbBSyF0#ws)
Sweet hobo jesus! And I was very impressed with the original Borderlands! O_O
In the first one I have a level 50+ siren, level 30 (something) berzerker and soldier, and a level 10 hunter. I can't even begin to imagine how many hours I'm going to put into THIS game. This will be my Skyrim/WoW.
-
I've yet to finish the first, though I probably will before the second one comes in. My friend suggested buying the 4 pack so we end up paying less each. I may get it, we'll see...
I mean, I do like the first one, and if we end up being 4 buying the game, I guess it'll just be even more fun... though our work schedule may not be the same...
But anyway, yeah, I may get it.
-
You should also get General Knoxx's DLC. It's a direct continuation of the original story as well as adding a +10 level cap, making the highest level go from 50 to 60. (The level 60 rare weapons are ****ing insane!)
-
Still haven't beaten the first game. I'm sure I have an excuse. I may or may not be getting this as a birthday thing, since it comes out one day before.
-
I will need someone to play it with before I consider buying.
-
Thank god I have a brother with some similar taste. We've had some great fun with the first game, still haven't completed the General knox or robolution. Getting there though, diablo 3 got in the way.
New game looks rad. Some people will boycott it because one of the developer joked about builds being "girlfriend modes". Everything they do with this game is such a nice ammount of non-seriousness that it's just a blast playing it. Like this trailer.
-
I've heard of the "girlfriend mode" thing. Ridiculous.
I don't really like the General Knoxx DLC, to be honest. I mean, the quests themselves aren't too bad and stuff, but man, so much travelling... I wish there were Fast Travel things in the DLC's...
Also, I made the mistake of starting this DLC before beating the game and learning of a certain's character's death before it actually happened. D'oh! Though then again, it wasn't such a big surprise.

My brother sadly doesn't play as much as anymore. In our co-op we're only around Old Haven. I had to beat the game by myself with one of my other characters. :(

First off it doesn't really matter if you like the Knoxx DLC or not, it adds +10 levels and new perks. So it's basically a must to get even if you don't plan on actually playing it. Same with Broken Steel for Fallout 3.
And I assume you're talking about Commandant Steele's 3 seconds of glory? I honestly expected to fight her, but nope. XD
The only other two people I remember dying are Lucky and that hillbilly who gives you those Skag Gully quests early on in the game. (He shows up as a zombie NPC in the Island Of Dr Ned. You gotta feed him braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaain.) XD
-
Thanks for the spoilers...
Anyway, yeah, I do have the DLC's. Bought the whole thing for $7.50. I don't really like the area that much, but I'll still do it. And yeah, additional levels are always nice.
-
Wasn't it 11 levels?
-
Thanks for the spoilers...
My bad. I just assumed you knew. >_<
Wasn't it 11 levels?
Was it really 11? 10 seems like a more natural number. Either way my siren is only 54 or 55 so I haven't hit the level cap yet. XD
-
Yeah, for future reference, drop a spoiler tag around anything that seems spoiler-y. Not everyone on the internet knows all the spoilers (myself included, as suggested by my earlier post), so it's a common courtesy thing.

Borderlands goes to ELEVEN! You may have seen some games raise their level cap by 5, or maybe even 10, but with The Crimson Lance Assassination Squads wreaking havoc and Crawmerax the Invincible being all invulnerable and stuff we knew you'd need more than just 10. And that's why Borderlands goes to ELEVEN! The Secret Armory of General Knoxx adds new guns, new Class Mods, new vehicles, new missions, and increases the level cap by ELEVEN. Once you factor in all the new enemy types that need killing you're going to need eleven just to keep up. The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is an add-on pack for Borderlands that raises the level cap to 61, adds new guns, vehicles, Class Mods, shields, enemy types, and missions. In other words...best add-on ever. Of all time. Forever. The End.
Love how they explain their own DLC
-
So it does. XD
-
Getting it, same with me mum and sis/brother-in-law, because I have a gamer family.
-
I want your family.
-
If my grandmother had a PS3, I'd probably be able to play with them too.
They're an Xbox family, though.
-
Lucky dicks. My brother is the only other gamer in my lineage. My parents are the kind of people who see it as a bunch of toys for children, and my sister has no interest. My brother's a very reclusive gamer, though, and only plays a handful of games, though he plays them religiously.
I kind of play everything.
-
Same boat as Archem. Even though my brother goes to Smash tournaments and wins money it's still "just a children's toy" and he needs to "grow up"..
By the way, any competitive Smash players in the house? Maybe you've run into my brother, or heard of him, out there. He calls himself HalfDemon13 and he plays for TeamMonsterBiscuit (they got t-shirts and everything). Ring any bells, anyone?
-
I don't play games competitively, or care about the competitive scene. I think it sucks all the fun out of the game and forces you to master a meta that kills the intended feel of the games. I've had a few games where I've been told about my potential and people trying to recruit me, but I just hate what it makes the games into.
Just sayin'.
-

Same. I no longer want to play with my brother because it's lost all fun. Items off, final destination, no high-tier characters allowed, blah blah blah.
-
It's like "Yeah, I'm so good at this game... when I adapt it to me."
I do play some competitive games, but I tend to play for a very short time.
-
See, that's what I keep telling him. The random element of stages and items is part of the game!!!
-

Yeah that's boring.
Some people like to think that the "competitive rules" are the rules you should play with because they are the rules used by the "professionals". Don't get it, won't get it. Playing with your friends is for fun. We can do serious but a controlled amount of serious. Prefer PVE games like Diablo though, only get mad at people when they're selling junk instead of helping me kill stuff.
-
So I preordered borderlands 2, did it for PC. Gonna get some golden key, a magical find amulet(or something like that) and some bonus class for free.
It's gonna be rad.
But it's gonna collide with my time spent playing diablo 3 and guild wars 2.
Oh and of course my studies.
-
That last one really isn't all that important. XD
-
And I got the game, it's awesome.
Only one thing that bothers me. Why did they change the graphics of Angel? I liked he last look better.
Also, anyone knows where I'm supposed to enter my premium club code (preorder)?
Edit: Okay I got it, steam > add game > activate product > enter premium code > wait for background download to complete
-
I played it with my mom and sister for like four hours last night.
Game's pretty brilliant.
Also, the pre-order bonuses don't give you a completely unfair advantage, which is nice.
I want to strangle Claptrap with his own intestines, though.
-

Why? I love the crazy **** they say. XD
-
New claptrap is a bit obnoxious though. Old claptraps were silly fun.
-
Anybody else playing on the PS3?
Or is everybody here on the PC.
-
I WILL be playing it on the PS3 around December when my brother comes home for winter break. -_-
-

Prefer these types of games for the PC, sorreh.
-
Anybody else beaten it yet?
Holy ****, was that a blast.
Imma go do it again.
-
Haven't beaten it yet, just plays it coop more or less. So no progress unless there's a buddy who wants to play with me. Otherwise it's GW time or studies or something else.
-
I'm on second playthrough, level 40 Assassin.
I think I play a liittle too much.
Also, @DuvalMagic on Twitter gives out codes that unlock golden keys, for stress testing the Shift system.
So...yeah.
-
Am I the only one who thinks the interface is a bit wonky in this one?
Also, Butt-stallion.
-
It's got a few glitches on the console, but apparently the PC version has a different interface that was custom made for the PC.
So, I couldn't say.
-
http://www.borderlands2.com/us/skilltree/mechromancer.html (http://www.borderlands2.com/us/skilltree/mechromancer.html)
Is this real? Some of those skill names, especially the ones in the leftmost tree, are pretty blatent.
-
Yeah, it's real.
-
Well, if you don't believe it, you can find out tomorrow.
Apparently the Mechromancer got finished really early, so they're releasing it completely cross-platform tomorrow.
Note to Bethesda: This is how you do DLC releases.
Yes, I'm still pissed about Dawnguard.
-
Yay since I pre-ordered it I should get it for free.
Still not happy with namco, had to wait for almost 2 months before they releases Dampierre for the latest game. Even though he was a pre-order character in the states, and in the game in every aspect.
-
I STILL can't get ****ing Dawnguard.
Apparently Bethesda hates money.
-
They've cited technical issues. The PS3 has so many issues on the tech side, apparently.
-
Nah, it's just that Bethesda can't program on it.
Hence all the issues with Skyrim's launch, etc.
They're obviously a 360 company, though, due to the sheer amount of exclusive stuff, and the fact that their games run a little smoother on it.
Whatever, though, I'm having fun with Borderlands.
So!
Mechromancer.
She's kinda sorta awesome.
Her skill set is kind of complex, and at the same time really easy.
The red tree, "Ordered Chaos", is pretty complicated, and obviously for hardcore characters, due to a certain skill.
The skill gives you accuracy penalties and damage bonuses every time you empty your magazine or kill an enemy.
Another skill in the tree, though, gives you accuracy bonuses every time you prematurely reload. Not sure if it gives you damage penalties, though.
Also, Deathtrap is a ****ing BEAST.
He killed Boom Bewm really quick like.
My shields didn't even go down.
-
I'M ADDICTED GUYS
What's everybody's loot like?
I have a collection of I think 5 or 6 Legendaries, most of which aren't weapons.
The latest is the Legendary Mechromancer class mod, which I found today in a random loot chest.
Being a dumbass and colourblind, I almost skipped it, but my dad went "wait was that orange" and I double taked and then everything was awesome.
Also, anyone else checking out the Pirates DLC right now?
I am, and I can't wait to die to the new raid bosses over and over again in hopes of getting a pink assault rifle.
-

This phrase made the entire post awesome. Man, I wish I'll have gamer family when I get kids.
Still haven't gotten far in this game. My bro got Fifa and he's kinda addicted to that at the moment. Borderlands just isn't the same without someone to play with.
Yeah I saw that there was a DLC coming out already. Gotta love gearbox.
-
Also still don't own it. Also, why would you bother skipping any loot if you're unable to tell the color of the glow on it? It only takes a second to go and look at its stats. Dumb.
-

Everything looked green and my inventory was full of purple and blues, so I didn't bother looking at the prices.
Yeah, I've kind of stopped that habit now.
-
I hate that I can't leave areas in Borderlands without the loot disappearing. If that weren't the case, I'd play the same way I play Diablo - loot, Town Portal, sell everything, come back, repeat. Instead, I simply find the best loot, then find the highest priced loot, and swap in better prices until I hit a vending machine. If there's still loot in the area, I go back to grab that for selling. It's a bit tedious, but my OCD and greed demand it.
-
It depends on the rarity in BL2.
Whites disappear sometimes before you leave the room, and anything above green sticks around until you turn the game off.
-
Well that's nice.
-
I won't play Borderlands 2. I liked 1, but after going online, it just lost all it's appeal.
-
I'm playing right now. (xbox hasn't been working for so long.)
Zer0 all the way, going bl00dshed path.
-

Too much assholes?
Yeah, I don't like hosting public games anymore.
Too many loot whores and people who just want to duel.
-
I don't think I'd ever play a game like Borderlands with randoms. Ever. Like, maybe if I had a gun to my head, but past that, it's simply a no-go.
-

Like diablo.
-
Exactly. Other people online are assholes, and any time they can grief, PK, and loot steal, they will.
I prefer games with inconsequential multiplayer interactions, like shooters. That way, if people are assholes, no big deal. You didn't lose anything important, you don't have to worry about them ruining a quest line. You don't need to spend an hour recovering from their ****-ups. You just respawn and return to what you were doing.
-
Borderlands 2 on the PS3 is actually rather calm online...as long as you're not the one who's hosting.
Using matchmaking, I usually find some alright parties that don't try to steal all the loot.
Although, I have made a new friend by hosting a game...so, y'know.
-
I like the idea of individual loot, as done in Diablo 3 and guild wars. The one in WoW was okay but not as good(monsters beside bosses and such would only drop loot to one person at a time, so in a party of 5 - each fifth monster would be your loot).
There's no loot stealing that way which is lovely. Everyone gets a reward.
But then someone might get tons of amazing stuff while others get crap. Isn't exactly fair I guess. That's one of the reason magical find became an issue in diablo 3, at the start the MF of all players were evened out between them. So a person with high mf benefited the entire party at least. Then some patches later they removed this, which I kinda liked. But all of a sudden you start to get annoyed with people that throw on their MF gear when the monster is at 30% and just stands and watches as you are killing it.
So, play with your friends and not with strangers. Strangers are rapists and murderers.
