Cautiously excited here. I hope the guns feel better than the BL2 ones, which were a bit samey on average. Claptrap, double jumping/stomping and lazer gunz are pretty awesome features though. Edit: And please give us bigger crit boxes like in BL1. Half the fun was exposing the skags, spiderants, Atlas troops by taking them down with a few well placed shots from a Masher. The enemies in BL2 are generally tankier and require a lot of bodyshots because of accuracy. Tezzeract fucked around with this message at 00:42 on Sep 22, 2014 |

Polygon posted:But most importantly, it's more fun to move around, and it's more fun to fight enemies with that newfound mobility. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel has better gunplay than any previous installment because there's more to do at any given time. http://www.polygon.com/2014/10/13/6570035/borderlands-the-pre-sequel-review-360-ps3-PC

Yeah mark me down as a fan of the verticality. Borderlands 2 didn't impress me too much for some reason, but so far Borderlands:TPS has managed to charm me. It feels like a much better bridge between BL1 and BL2, starting off with an opening cutscene that came right out of BL1 and subsequently, blasting off to space. The space goons are a lot of fun to fight and it feels like critical hits are more rewarding again.

Bugsy posted:Knoxx was awesome and not just because it raised the level cap on BL1 to 61, but it gave the player access to Knoxx's vault which in true gearbox fashion was easy to get into a million times and not just the Knoxx was the ending that BL1 didn't have (though Flynt Eastwood was a pretty sweet boss). The entire zone was a blast and Atlas was hella fun to fight, especially when compared to Hyperion.

I actually like how you're testing Jack's robot army that you get to fight in BL2. Actually, this game makes me want to replay BL2 now knowing the context of the Pre Sequel. It'd be great if 2K Australia can fix up the combat of BL2 to be as fun as the combat in Pre-sequel. Say what you want about Jack, but he really gets things done.

Random rear end in a top hat posted:Okay, informal poll time: is anyone interested in the possible Borderlands MMO that the ending hints at? I only ask because pretty much every mention I've seen of it so far is 'oh god, please don't do that', and I'm interested if the concept actually appeals to anyone, or if this is just the devs eyeing Destiny greedily and not paying any attention to the problems they've been having. I'd be up for it. I hear that even with all of Destiny's issues, it's still the most played game on the PS4.

Are there still anymore BL1 savefiles - I'd like to try out that bullpup. The link at the BL2 thread seemed broken. Being a tad underleveled in BL:TPS is actually pretty fun since the guns scale better and you get a huge XP boost. Being underleveled in BL2 was a nightmare.

Been trying out farming - just doing Red Belly for some skins. I think I'm starting to see what people enjoyed so much from BL2 out of the boss farming. The endgame looks like it might have some issues going forward, but I'm not too worried considering that I've enjoyed the actual campaign playthrough - so the game's already been worth it. Edit: Apparently there are ways to speed run Red Belly! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TdXYxCkPA48 Tezzeract fucked around with this message at 13:43 on Oct 25, 2014 |

I've been having a lot of fun with The Pre-sequel and consequently started learning how to avoid getting downed while soloing. Rocket launchers are amazing in this game. They helped me burst down Deadlift and the Constructor boss. I used to be a bit miffed by the price tag of the ammo, but they're a great insurance option. BL2 was a pretty frustrating game for me but I'm starting to realize I didn't enjoy it enough to be patient with it. Half way through my TVHM Presequel playthrough , I'm up for giving BL2 another shot (even after 55 hours of playtime in BL2).

AHungryRobot posted:Before I used cheat engine I probably averaged around 1 blue for every 15 chests I opened. I probably saw 2 purples in all the chests I opened in a playthrough, not counting the ones you have to spend moonstone on. The grinder's a nice addition but I like the idea of finding nice things in world drops and chests fairly often too, like BL1 had. There are definitely more green chests than red chests and those seem to give white/green items. I've gotten blues/purps from red chests fairly often. That said, with 3 greens = 1 blue, the grinder gives ok returns. Always try to grinder for your preferred weapon type of course. And in general, normal enemies won't drop anything good - farming the 'loot cave' Guardian Hunters quest gives no real loot because it's a regular enemy. If you farm Badasses like in the real loot cave in the Titan testing facility, you'll see a bunch more blues/purples. I saw some decent rewards in the Felicity battle - she drops some pretty great gear and there are a bunch of Dahl chests unlocked in the room behind her.

jasius posted:How full of hackers is the online, for those brave enough to try to play with randoms? Previous experience from all of the games was: randoms will have full tech trees and be levels far lower than they should be, kill everything making the game boring, dupe wepons they've homebrewed making the game completely pointless. Considering we're already talking about modding the game with Gibbed for our own personal use, I'm pretty sure most folks online will have some rule modifications on. But honestly, its fun to hack in loot games and break the RNG from time to time. Making a raid boss your bitch with OP loot is great when you don't have the patience to farm up and beat it legit.

Genocyber posted:Getting knocked into FFYL a few times isn't that big of a deal, especially in TVHM. There's a reason it's not just instant death. It gets annoying in BL2 though because the enemies gleefully leave and you're not left with anyone to Second Wind off of. That said, getting Second Winds do have a bit of a skill factor, ie pre-throwing nades or making sure your heavy hitter is reloaded to maximize your chances.

Skandranon posted:I don't understand this line of thinking. If you aren't willing to suffer somewhat, or invest something to accomplish a goal... why not just watch it on Twitch or Youtube? You'll see the same content, at the same level of effort. I don't see how giving yourself a +1 million damage gun and one-shotting a boss you are having trouble with is satisfying, or different from just watching someone else do it. There has to be some serious self deception going on if you feel good about cheating in this way. So far the only character editing I've done was getting myself some moonstone and cash and leveling up my items. Of course some folks do even more, but I'm still having a decent time. That said, if other folks hack their lowerleveled characters even more to have a smoother time through the campaign, I'm all for that. Some games are a bit tough and if it's between modifying the game or getting stuck on one spot for a really long time, I'd go with modifying the game.

Been testing out BL2 with guaranteed legendaries and it feels like a good baseline for how combat should be. Fun weapon effects and decent firepower makes the game more fun. Also, being underleveled by 2-3 levels can still kill you in BL2 even with all legendaries. The default drop rates in BL2 really are that bad - I haven't seen a blue drop from a Badass unlike in TPS.

Thyrork posted:I feel like giving BL2 another lick, how you doing this? I'm assuming its the script stuff and while i got that working at one point, BL2 patched pretty much the next day and ruined it again. On the BL2 OP there's a cheatengine script that you can download. The process is a bit convoluted - you have to start the game, start the script, sync the script and then finally select your presets. I used the only legendaries one, and voila - going to a locker would give me a legendary shield or an Unkempt Harold.

Vargs posted:This game's decent and has a few things that I greatly prefer over Borderlands 2 (grinder, Oz kit maneuverability, cryo instead of slag, good vending machines that scale to your level, and just the right amount of skill points), but overall I think BL2 was a significantly better game. I wasn't really sure at first, but I went back and played through 2 a few days ago and it solidified my opinion. Especially with the DLC, which adds so much more content. BL2 is a bigger experience for sure, but is also slower to get into and pretty frustrating at parts. The Presequel is a better teacher of BL2's gameplay mechanics, which made me enjoy BL2 a lot more upon replaying it. GodFish posted:I've been using the cheat engine tables provided earlier to try and get more (any) oranges to drop, and to test it out I tried setting it to only legendaries, but so far I've just found a whole lot of greens everywhere and a few whites.

Random rear end in a top hat posted:To be clear, I would be fine with UVHM if it increased the amount of enemies, or introduced ultra-nasty new enemy types (like going from Stalkers to Rabid Stalkers), or even just made badasses ludicrous bullet sponges, but making every single enemy like that eliminates a whole lot of otherwise-viable play styles for no real reason other then laziness. If they actually put time and resources into BLOZ's UVHM, rather then just going I think their goal was to make slag more of a thing? Otherwise you just pop the enemy's weak element and go to town vs everyone. I do like how in BLTPS, you can't fire spam unless you set up the right conditions for it. Elemental damage was a bit too good in BL2.

The Borderlands Presequel season pass is a bit weird. I think that for BL2, the campaign DLC was mostly ok with Tiny Tina being a cut above. I hope the one or two campaign DLC they do have is Tiny Tina quality since they don't seem to have quite as many in the pipeline. The character DLC in BL2 were amazing, but I was never close to maxing out all of the classes and seeing their potential. Now that we're doubling the BL2 roster size, the problem is even worse. This isn't a huge complaint though - it just means that the BL games are insanely replayable.

I had a tough time against quite a few of the bosses since I was always a 2-3 levels underleveled for the first playthrough. Deadlift (lmao lazerballs of doom), Felicity (so tanky), Zarpedon (one shot Novas) and RK5 (UGH NUKES) wrecked my poo poo a bunch. I did figure out the platforming pretty fast though
