Having characters that actually say stuff will add a little replay value, so it might provide as much total enjoyment as BL2.

Were there any areas where you could walk on the ceiling? That's sort of my biggest secret wish for the game, but I doubt the UT engine likes that sort of thing. Ratchet and Clank's mag-boot areas were cool, but I don't think there was ever much gunplay on them.

Hopefully there won't be any Grog Nozzles and Rubis this time around, and they'd just stay around the more reasonable 2-3% lifegain range. At least there's no Gunzerking absurdity, since all the dualwield abilities seem to clone guns.

I'm sure they'll find a new and exciting way to gently caress up balance.

You can start preloading now on Steam. Only 5.1 GB, so I can't see it being the whole game.

Borderlands 2 with pretty much all DLC is 11,412MB. I can totally believe a shorter game with no DLC is 5,100MB.

The game doesn't use (much or any) prerendered video which is a HUGE space saver.

It also doesn't use uncompressed audio for no good reason (Titanfall).

Nisha looks like she's really good at killing individual targets, just blowing straight through the one thing unlucky enough to be in her sights.

I wonder if Claptrap's Vaulthunter.exe program actually DOES determine its effect from your environment and it's not totally random.

The animation with those hex things made it look like it does, since they all seemed to be related to the current situation.

So I'm actually having problems with the gunship boss at the shaft. I'm playing Wilhelm specced into the Wolf tree, but the gunship seems to be too fast for Wolf to hit reliably. I hope I don't have to respec or something.

wDarkk - Just get some gear that will hit out to range. I've seen people use SMGs, ARs, and snipers.

It turned out what I needed was just a good night's sleep. The drat thing still killed me more than every other boss combined though (unless there's a second raid boss somewhere).

All of Wilhelm's trees seem great. Wolf fully buffed is at least as good as Deathtrap fully buffed is by himself. Then there's Saint.

Speaking of Sentinel, any idea how to avoid getting knocked into the death ceiling for the raid version? It seems really hard to avoid unless I want to butt stomp into the ground, which IIRC is also damaging at that time. I'll possibly try to solo the TVHM version and that's going to be a lot harder most likely.

EDIT: STILL have no idea about how to get to Sub-Level 13.

You can't grind all purples. Apparently two legendaries and a purple will give you a legendary of the same type as the purple, but that's the only recipe I've heard of that uses purples at all.

I tried that and it didn't work either. Maybe I used the wrong type of legendaries.

I hadn't thought about that. That does make more sense now.

Well if they wanted to they could have Wilhelm's memory backed up to that power core, or have Brick or somebody find Nisha's journal.

EDIT: A Borderlands MMO could be sweet provided they buff the poo poo out of the grinder for it. Although really all it needs is a recipe for "a higher-level version of the item in slot 1".

So, the Steam cards just dropped. Let excitement abound. :toot:

DLC speculation:

You know, the inclusion of Moxxi in a more Vault Hunter-ish outfit we don't see in the game has me wondering, since all the other cards are playable characters... and that would fit the Borderlands 2 card set, which is all playable characters + Jack. Is Aurelia a red herring for Moxxi? Or maybe a replacement due to story concerns? Hm.

Moxxi as a DLC character wouldn't work since she tries to kill Jack. If they did a replacement it seems like it'd have been one a while ago.

My dream Borderlands 3 would be to smash all the Vault Hunters they could fit in it, even the dead ones because gently caress story and screw balance, they've always been a bit lousy at both anyway. Now add Tina with Tank, jet packs, and a car that includes a grinder and bank... and a magic fairy that converts all my whites and greens into moonstones and cash.

Scooter used digistruct technology to create a seventh siren, breaking space and time. Boom, done.
