I dunno, I at least liked that in BL2 I didn't feel constantly underleveled if I didn't leave the story quest to do some bullshit I don't feel like

CJacobs posted:I much prefer TPS' constant side-tracking to 2's more-than-occasional overleveled backtracking. That run from Liar's Berg to the top of the ship to put Matchstick on the altar is unforgivable. Other than that though the two games are pretty much exactly the same imo which is something I kind of like. The lack of campaign-level DLC for TPS is really disappointing, though. BL1 and BL2 both had significant DLC released, but TPS has barely any. Also, the pre-patch fight with EOS as a singleplayer was close to insulting - I actually stopped playing after getting frustrated at that fight a few times, and then tried it again after the big patch and was able to finish him the first try. I still have some missions to complete in that DLC, now that I think of it, but TPS just feels low-content compared to the earlier games.

That's a little bit unfair. BL2 had a STAGGERING amount of content added after release, and complaining that TPS wasn't also supported with campaign DLC for 18 months is just off. Comparing any games DLC to BL2s is unfair. It got an absolute shedload of really great content by any measure. That's not to say TPS couldn't have used another decent campaign add-on, but complaining it didn't have as much as BL2 is unfair.

I love BL2, but it runs horribly on my machine, while TPS runs really smoothly. Dunno what the difference is.

It was less than half given how lovely the Holodome was.

There's also the small fact that the studio that made the majority of TPS got shut down. I'd have liked to see more content too, of course, but complaining that it is "low content" is really kind of silly when you look at a lot of other games out there.

I like Borderlands 2 in general better, but I like the aerial movement and butt-stomps too much to be mad about TPS. I also like the Grinder a lot.

Grinding low rarity stuff was kinda pointless but saving trash blues you find and grinding them for a chance of a not-so-trash purple was a decent tactic.

Is there a way to softly descend without slamming if you're high enough to slam? (I want to say the tutorial message way back when said you tap the button instead of holding it, but that never worked for me). Also, in certain areas you have less jetpack lift, correct? I thought maybe it was areas with an atmosphere, but you can do full jumps in Concordia.

Tapping the button should work for a non slam descent. It seems to be if the key is down when you hit the ground, you'll slam, so maybe you're just a slow tapper?

After hitting the slam button, hit the jump button and it'll cancel out of the slam and go back to a normal fall. That's how it works on PC anyway.

I figured it out: it's tied to the crouch setting. You always slam if it's set to toggle.

I would just like to say, gently caress the end game of this. I pretty much hated everything after you kill that RJ52 ship or whatever it was called, but I liked mostly everything else.

It did a lot of things right that Pre-Sequel didn't necessarily maintain, but it didn't always manage to justify its running time.

Scarlet has some really nice environments and decent missions, Torgue has some great humor even if its painfully short. Dragon Keep is the best of the crop and I'm saddened that Claptrastic isn't as good.

Agreed, Big Game Hunt was the only let-down really, the rest were all pretty good if not quite as well polished as the main game. Even the headhunter packs were pretty good for the price you paid. Son of Crawmerax especially.

Captain Scarlet also has the best designed boss in the entire franchise imo. Leviathan is pretty much the only Borderlands boss that I actually enjoy fighting, BNK3R would be higher on that list if it didn't spawn exploaders.

I run out of ammo every time I fight Leviathan, but I really enjoyed Captain Scarlett up to that point. Big Game Hunt could've been alright if they'd just cut down the distance between things by about 50-75% and got rid of dumb racist "savages" and "witch doctors".

How hard could it be-WHY IS IT DRAINING MY HEALTH SO RAPIDLY?! Why is it regaining like ten times the health it's draining from me? Why is everything rolling over me so easily when they're the same level?! I've died ten times to the same enemy, and my wallet is screeching for me to shoot it. My guns are all up to date and YET these enemies are so buffed that it doesn't even matter! Did they even bother actually going through the DLC before releasing it? That's why I hope the DLC missions in the Presequel aren't as lovely as Hammerlock's Big Clusterfuck

AirRaid posted:What, leviathan was lame. All the buildup for a dumb wall-boss with giant glowy weakspots. Well, the thing that makes Leviathan so good is that you spend so little time actually fighting Leviathan. You survive increasingly intense waves of mobs which are bookended by shooting a glowing orb. The boss fight is the waves of enemies, and bunches of enemies is what's fun to fight in Borderlands games. Also by having it's health bar be split up between 5 different weak points, it feels more satisfying to destroy one than to just remove a fifth of it's health bar. It keeps you on your toes without being bullshit and gives a lot of great visual feedback which are two things that bosses in Borderlands (actually most FPSes) almost uniformly lack.

The weak points are easy to hit, unless you're rocking, say, 400 stacks of Anarchy and there's no way to get close enough to the weak spots to hit them.

What's the preferred DLC progression if you have everything? I kinda dropped this game halfway through my first play and I like the gameplay but I hate being underleveled almost as much as I hate doing fedex side quests. I want to do what I did in BL2, which was hit up a DLC any time I feel underleveled. What should I be doing to level up through DLC and tell side quests gently caress off

Presequel doesn't really have a preferred order. Claptastic voyage is scaled in a way you can jump right in after the campaign. The holodome seems to scale to your level no matter when you do it.

I've been skimming the thread but haven't seen any advice on Claptrap builds. So far (I'm only level 12 or so), I've been going down the left-hand skill tree, so killing dudes heals me for 35% of my health, I have a chance to get bonus explosive damage on every shot, I have a built-in explosive nova shield thing, and next level I think I can grab the skill that makes me continuously emit novas while in FFYL. I mainly chose the tree because of the goddamned pirate ship capstone, and because I'm playing solo so the middle tree seems like it would be at least half wasted. And the right tree has too man skills with totally random stuff tied to them. Teach me how to be annoyingly optimistic!

Agreeing with LOCUST FART HELL, Claptrap is designed for co-op and really won't be that great solo. You'll be missing out on so much.... hilarity.
