 The way Aurelia drives vehicles compared to other characters is great. They really went all out on making her be the most posh motherfucker on Elpis. She's really the perfect character I was hoping for as someone who is a) a fan of sniping and b) completely unable to enjoy the plot or characters of this game (she doesn't either). edit: lol, I found a cryo Vladof sniper rifle and have respecced into a middle tree/left tree build and this thing is just plain unfair to my enemies.

Unfortunately, there are some gaps in the dialog when a NPC makes a character specific response in which case they seem to have a generic Vault Hunter response. Examples include when you're first introducing yourself to Jack and Janey Springs, some of Spring's dialog during the Deadlift mission, or after beating Napykin's time. (Only just started the Drakensburg mission.) After the little touches they did with Jack's Body Double such as Jack getting distracted over how hot the body double looks or Napykin calling him an unrealistically handsome man, the generic responses for Aurelia feel jarring. I guess they couldn't get everyone back to record some new dialog?

She's a fun character to play, but on my third play through I really just wish I could skip all the bullshit dialogue that slows the game to a crawl.

Dyz posted:Its always fun to sit at the moonshot cannon doing nothing for 2 minutes I wish there was a button that unlocked after beating "normal" mode that, when pressed, would cause the player to squat down and force a turd out of their butt. Like, you mash the button and watch as Wilhelm drops down in a muscular, gravity-defying squat; he clenches his square jaw and lets loose low, robotic noises. The animation persists for 15-20 seconds before a turd--black as obsidian and sprinkled with various circuitry--rockets out of his rear end and through his pants, cratering in the ground directly beneath his mechanical tree-trunk legs. Then there would be Nisha. "Yeeeeeeeeeeehaw!" she calls out as her hips undulate upon an imaginary bucking bull. Ride 'em cowboy! At the last conceivable moment, she flops back and launches a viscous turd straight into the air; not a moment later she blasts it from the sky with a quickdraw pistol shot, busting it up bigtime. Clap-Trap would probably dubstep or something until a hatch opened up and a smaller version of himself crumbled to the ground, frail and weeping. He would crush its head with a rock until it was nothing but dead, and hide his secret shame (until the next time the button was pressed). Anyway, that would be a pretty amusing way to pass the time if the game insists on making you stand around and experience exposition you've already seen a dozen times.

This is excellent! Guessing you'd have Athena doing some kind of power build on her shield then catching it with butt unleashing a melee fueled turdpocalypse?

signalnoise posted:After playing a bit more I have determined that BL2 got away with its writing due to the solidness of the gameplay but TPS does not have that luxury Yeah pretty much. Borderlands 2 had a much more polished design that was obviously geared towards Keeling the player moving even during its too long tutorial section. Backtracking was also nowhere near as bad with much better designed levels. TPS has too many zones you constantly have to pass through and the in game "cutscenes" often just seem to run on too long. Edit: actually that applies to quest dialogue a lot too. There's a few quests where you could easily finish the objectives before the quest giver stops talking, IF the game let you.

I didn't mind any of the level designs until I hit Eleseer. That level's a loving mess (go all the way around, then all the way back! Figure it out yourself!) and it's full of those Opha dicks that continually respawn hard to hit shield regenerators. Not only are they no fun to fight, they loving never just quit spawning already.

Agreed. I get what they were going for with making the giant eridium crystal be the centerpiece of the whole level but man they handled it in the dumbest way. You went all the way around, congrats! Now you can spontaneously go to the second level for no reason!

You can just barely get to the top platform if you double jump from one of those weird pillars on the outer ring (angle the camera 45 degrees when you boost). Personally i like this area, but probably becuase i use loot tables and theres more than half a dozen chests in a relatively small area.

No, I cleared it by at least a few feet, but I just stopped when I got to where I should've been on the upper ring and just fell down like when you miss a jump.

All I see on Freddy Wong is he made Video Games High School and the character 'Games Dean,' a suave, overweight, and fedora wearing FPS playing ladies man. It's like they were made for each other.

 I know that Burch isn't the most well liked but aren't you projecting a little too hard? You also fail to realized that the CEO of Gearbox is Randy Pitchford who I don't think wold fire someone for Twitter outbursts.

Anthony Burch is a bad PR magnet because of the ~controversial*~ things he says and I am maybe 5% certain Gearbox is glad to be rid of him. *Controversial here meaning not really all that bad or even wrong, but phrased in a dumb instigating way for no reason. That's what he does. That's how he talks to people outside of his profession. He's just a self-righteous dick even if the stuff he is self-righteous about is of real importance.
