The World's Largest Bullet is from the Knoxx DLC, where it's an actual visitable roadside attraction (and apparently distracted Knoxx's moronic henchmen).

Put about 10 hours into this game so far and I'm liking it a lot (space combat adds a lot to the game, I find) but the one thing that's crushing my nuts is how loving often you're doing a quest and it just expects you to go back and forth a million times. Pickle wants you to go do a thing, so you go to cross a bridge but the enemies retract the bridge. You go press the button to extend the bridge again but the enemies blow up the bridge. You go to dump methane to freeze the lava instead but the pumping station was shut down so you have to go all the way across the map to re-enable it and then you have to go all the way across the map to redirect the flow and then you have to go all the way across the map to finally dump the methane. Sometimes it's hard to feel like you're progressing when you are constantly being dicked around with something preventing you from going forward.

I should go back and actually do the DLC from Borderlands 1. All I ever did was the zombie one and that kinda killed me wanting to play anything else. Sorry, TK!

Really I don't know if I just find kitschy attractions inherently funny or whatever but it makes me giggle every time I think of it. The World's Largest Bullet.

Yeah I loving hated Pickle and all his missions. Especially going back and forth between areas. That AI mission was especially awful.

I miss Borderlands 1 humor, where everything was black humor and grim. Too many jokes that rely on fads like dubstep and hashtags in the sequels, and everything feels like a Tumblr person wrote it all because it veers between being passive aggressively liberal and "random" humor.

this game is more repetitive and boring then the worst call of duty game & a classic example of a game studio selling out. I have 4 level 50 characters and nothing to do with them, except be a loving god to these little shits. No end game content just endless repetitions.

I finally got to RK5 and found out what you all were super mad about  I consistently get it down to like 40% health and then die from a nuke with nothing near me to second-wind off of. All my good weapons are lasers that can only reach it when I'm jumping from the center platform. It is a super gross gear check.

Between "imaginary misogynistic way of referring to relationships" and the Boganella this game is never going to be less than wonderful in my book. From the Bob Costas lookalike sports guy to the Dark side(of the moon)ers and their prism fetish, to the underlying star wars story with the serial numbers filed off (Seriously its a man going from dubiously good to flat evil in the process of building a robot army to defeat the big bad space menace - to quote Jack, "ringin' any bells?") and the "I'm an adult woman who has to say booty salads because some jackass wrote it on my screen" touches to the game, it scratches an itch most games leave unscratched for me.  E: and the attempt by Springs at speaking in an American accent. That's a great one too.

I hate this game that I played through twice with every character so much, it's just so boring and insulting to my intelligence. Kerrrrrrr posted:I love the super short-range melee laser you get from it too, it's so satisfying to use It makes a good compliment to a melee Athena because now you have the choice of either dashing up to enemies and swatting them to death like flies, or using your improbably low range laser gun to zap them like a bug zapper!

The Fridgia is an amazing weapon. I feel like I'm using a double anarchy with it. Unfortuantely it does not play well with Athena/Ceramic storm, it doesn't proc stacks and frozen enemies don't build my aspis. Also, picked up an Ack Ack in a vendor, this thing is amazing! The flak shreds flying targets like Guardians.

Once I get my Athena to 50, and I do the quest for it, I suspect I will never use another gun. Perfect for freezing things before melee.

watho posted:I can't help but laugh at the name "Toby Van Adobe". That whole starwars parody or whatever quest is so stupid that it becomes amazing. It's also the whole backdrop for the game - Jack is basically Darth Vader, Dahl are the trade empire or whatever it is they were fighting against in the prequels. Helios is the Death Star, its laser even does the same thing while firing. It's like someone threw the story in a blender and hit pulse a couple times. It's all chopped up and rearranged, but it's definitely recognizable, and it's glorious. E: The angry guy in Helios (side quest from the board in Jack's office) is another "holy poo poo they dumped on these people too" thing. I can't remember his name, though. He's the one you have to hit with a freeze gun. There's the Nakajima guy with his unrequited love for Jack but his demonstrations only get seen as fire hazards and graffiti. Oh yeah, his quests draw another parallel to Star Wars when you have to fight a thresher in the trash compactor. There's also the R&D division side quest that is the second shortest job Nisha's ever had. This game was written by geniuses but the numerical component kills it. They're either a touch too spongy, a touch too many, or a touch too sparse. There are a lot more glitches where enemies just stand around somewhere different instead of attacking you for a quest (Bruce is an example of this for me, on the Boganella quest) or fall through a floor (countless Dahl troops screaming at me from inside the walls) and if those were just tweaked to be less damaging to the pacing it would be a great game through and through. Without that, it's just a could-have-been.

I just didn't like the normal gravity on Helios. Boosting around doing butt slams and double jumps ruled. I hated when I was stuck in regular gravity for a long while on the Station. Luckily there's some hilarious missions on the station to make up for it.

Yeah, wanting to slam but not jumping off a high enough platform was disappointing, but on the flip side, fire element was relevant for once. Until you ran into the power suits.
