Borderlands 2

Got best multiplayer and best shooter at the VGA awards. I can support that. Claptrap was best character too.

The only reason Claptrap should win a best character award is his meltdown at the big security doors on the way to Handsome Jack. Both before and after opening them.

I read during the upcoming Xbox Marketplace sales the Xbox pass is going to be on sale on 12/27.

Picked up a couple $25 copies for Christmas gifts during Black Friday sales, so I am going to let those people know.

The season pass will be 1800 points tomorrow (33% off).

http://www.greenmangaming.com/s/sg/en/pc/games/rpgs/borderlands-2-season-pass/ - $10.50 with code GMG30-DPLIM-DN831

Unfortunately my dumbarse jumped on the pass when Steam put it for 25% off, bah.

 

[Mik]

I paid full price but I can't say I really regret it. Great game.

Agreed. Mr. Torgue is one of the funniest things I've heard in a video game in a long time.

 

[Baby Shoes]

Is there a known glitch or hidden mission that prevents the "Done It All" achievement/trophy. I've done all side missions outside the DLC and it hasn't popped. Couldn't find anything when I went looking.

 

[KingPK]

The Mechromancer pack is on sale for 400 points.

Finally started playing this. Had it a for a while now. It was my friend's idea to get it so we could co-op but he never ended up buying it. Not sure if the Siren is a good pick for a solo run, but I'm digging this. Kinda forgot how much I enjoyed the first one.

 

[vivisectvi]

Send me a msg on Twitter if you're ever looking to co-op!

 

[FLAM]

Cool. I'd be down on the weekends once I get to a respectable level. Although I'm sure I'll be playing Ni No Kuni a lot. But I'll probably be mixing it up. I'm already hooked on this one.

 

[Mik]

I'll be jumping back in to this after I finish Far Cry 3. Need to do the last 2 DLC packs.

 

[KingPK]

I'm playing through the first DLC pack right now. There's a whole lot more than I expected there would be. I don't remember the first game's DLC to be this substantial.

 

[vivisectvi]

15 new skins/heads are available at 99 cents a pop. For some reason there isn't a bundle of all of them together, though...

*These are not included as part of the Season Pass.

Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt has a lot going for it - I really enjoyed the character of Professor Nakayama, most of the new enemies (giant spores can just fuck right off, though), and a good deal of the challenges. That said, it's far and away my least favorite of the three thus far, mostly because of its disappointing length and partly because of tedious missions like the egg search and rare monster hunt (the latter being such an obnoxious grind that I didn't even complete it, a first for me outside of raid boss/tier three missions).

 

[Mik]

Part of me wants to wait until they raise the level cap until diving in to Torque and Hammerlock DLCs.

 

[vivisectvi]

I wonder what is up with that level cap increase. Pitchford (or was it Patchford?) said that when they do it, it won't be in the traditional sense..

 

[sbofn]

If you're wondering why they haven't increased the level cap yet, it's because doing so might break the game.

While making sure the enemies and loot levels up appropriately has been a big issue, the skills trees in “Borderlands 2” are also giving Gearbox problems. “We designed the skills really well this time, but we did, for better or for worse, make a lot of the decisions with the knowledge that there will be no more skill points available to put into any trees after you reach level 50,” Pitchford said.

Simply adding more skill points would open the door for game-breaking configurations, including some that the Xbox 360 physically cannot handle: “Some of the impossible configurations, if they were possible, would break the game. Sometimes very literally. ‘Oh, that’s gonna blow memory. Your Xbox will crash.’"

I just don't understand how they thought capping skills at 50 would work. Extra levels would seem like a foregone conclusion after the first game.

 

[Conspiracy_Victim]

Anyone have an extra legendary they don't mind parting with, like an Infinity? No one is really on much so I can't really co-op the Invincibles for Seraph crystals, and I've been farming off and on and can't get anything to drop. Starting to piss me off.

New character class coming (not part of the Season Pass):

Also, they will be raising the level cap to 61 on April 2 and unlocking and are bringing back the very rare "Pearlescent" weapon tier. This IS part of the Season Pass ($4.99 if you buy it separate). A third play through mode called "Ultimate Vault Hunter" mode for free to everyone regardless of if you've bought the pass or not.

The level increase is a perfect excuse for me to get back in to it.

on sale for pc on amazon today, $19.99 for the basic game, $9.99 for the season pass or $24.99 for the game and the season pass together.

 

[Mik]

That's ridiculous. Anyone who held out needs to get it TODAY.

I started up again and did Mr. Torque campaign. It's a pretty fun campaign, minus all the damn bike guys when you're just trying to get from point A to point B. I hit a giant friggin' snag in the form of Badassaurus Rex - he is destroying me without mercy pretty quickly. I need to figure out a good strategy.
