I don't feel super bummed out about the length of vanilla PSQ vs BL2, though the lack of campaign DLC definitely sucks. I don't know why they wouldn't want to put some out, I know I'd sure buy it even after I play BL3. I played through both BL2 and the Pre-sequel at roughly the same time since I just got distracted by other stuff when BL2 got released, and I definitely feel like the PSQ is more fun in terms of action and playstyle differences between the characters, BL2 your playstyle felt more defined by your gun loadout. BL2 is definitely a lot more deliberate and offers more in terms of the indoor levels especially when it comes to old-school FPS level design proficiency. PSQ kind of drags for me in the extended Helios section where you're not in low grav, but at least you aren't getting stuck in situations where you're forced to just waste half your ammo on one shield enemy because you ran out of grenades. I've yet to encounter any unwinnable battles in TVHM like in 2 where if you were trying to solo certain enemies would just be impossible with certain builds (Sniper vs super badass loaders that had no critical hit point after you shot their arms off) A Stupid Baby fucked around with this message at 04:54 on Mar 14, 2015 |

I find I enjoy the gameplay in TPS a bit more when it comes to Cryo versus Slag. In BL2 it felt like at higher levels you couldn't do anything but slag something and then swap over. TPS seems like Cryo is definitely a bonus, but it's not absolutely required, except against Badasses.

I agree it sucks that there wont be a few new campaigns but people are talking like there's none at all.

Does Cryo also increase damage taken by freezing-immune bosses? Because otherwise it seems like a Cryo-based build would be really lovely against anything but regular mobs.

Yeah, probably a good choice...I'm still not entirely sure if there is $20 worth of stuff in the combined DLC. I guess it really depends on whether or not this upcoming Claptrap DLC is the largest, greatest storyline DLC to ever grace a Borderlands game. If that's the case, $20 for that and a couple of solid character classes (plus the "junk" arena DLC) wouldn't be too bad.

I'd forgotten how irritating and frustrating the final approach to the Warrior, Hero's Pass, is. You're just getting swarmed by a bunch of Hyperion Hawks and loaders, and most of them can one-shot your shield, and at one point there's auto-targeting guns that you can't even shoot. Then at the end? A badass Constructor that continually shoots salvos of missiles and manufactures War Loaders. And then you kill that fucker, and surprise, a bunch of soldiers and loaders spawn in to replace it, taking the sense of victory- the feeling that the level built up to the climax that was the Badass Constructor- and dissolving it. Yeesh!

To my knowledge, in all the hours I've played BL2, I have never ever fought that drat super-constructor the normal way because it just tears you apart in seconds if you get close. Even with as little enemy variety as pre-sequel has, I'm so glad they didn't bring back constructors with missiles because those things were a gigantic pain in the rear end.

When it came to Constructors, I feel like I was a little spoiled because I mostly played solo and therefore used the two character classes that didn't make me feel so alone, Axton and Gaige. Obviously you'd get destroyed if you tried to retrieve Axton's turret(s) prematurely, and Gaige's DT would sometimes go off and play with its dick, but Axton carried a ton of grenades (I predominately carried an assortment of homing grenades so I could deploy a swarm of automated explosives from relative safety) and got some pretty solid buffs to them, and Gaige's skills allowed her to do pull some pretty wild shots without having to expose herself too much. Constructors were definitely nothing to scoff at but, even in TVHM and UVHM, I didn't have too much trouble with them.

By far my favorite grenade for constructors was a longbow corrosive cloud. It would make quick work of normal ones and combined with slag would bring the super badass ones to a much more reasonable level of health. A longbow (seeing a trend here?) bonus package could also one or two shot normal ones in TVHM if if got it just right underneath them. But I can't really think of a comparable "awww dammit" enemy in TPS. And there definitely isn't anything like the witch doctors of the hammerlock expansion.

I just finished running through BL2 again on an Anarchy Mechromancer- just did the main story quests and all the DLC quests- and even doing that I couldn't bring myself to do the Hammerlock DLC again. Just miserable.

What's so bad about the Hammerlock DLC? I see everyone complaining about how awful it was and I'm genuinely curious.

There's no real storyline, the humour falls flat hard and its filled with enemies that alternate between awful and annoying. I recommend playing the Torgue and Tiny Tina dlcs if you ever go back though. Both are really solid.

Hammerlock has some annoying enemies, but I always liked it because I first played it on max level with OP guns, so I just had fun shooting things and never got frustrated.
