Rookersh posted:On one hand I really like Borderlands. They didn't say that. They said they were thinking about a lower price point if the size of the game was particularly smaller. When the game was still very much in development. I'm guessing they didn't cut out as much stuff as they were thinking of. Either way I will get hundreds of hours out of this and I paid like £22 so I'm good. Get hype!

Genocyber posted:drat how did you get it so cheap. Best sale I've seen so far is for ~$45 (~35 euros). Base price on UK steam is £30, minus 20% first weekend discount minus a further 10% bonus discount for owning either previous BL game. Numbers might not be totally accurate but it was that combination of things. UK got a way better price than anyone else on steam for some reason.

Solumin posted:I think a lot of us who have played BL1 and BL2 a number of times don't remember that the game takes some getting used to. If you don't know what's going on, the game isn't easy -- but that's true of pretty much everything. If my girlfriend (  ) who is nearly blind in one eye and gets lost in public toilets can play and finish both games, they aren't that hard to get used to. TBH the only reason she got that far was because there are no ladders in Borderlands. (OK BL2 has a couple but they're pretty much optional) Also you guys are really overstating the involvement of Gearbox in this game. So far as I can make out they were more overseeing the production rather than being hands on in most areas other than writing. (Cue angry mob complaining about Anthony Burch)

There was definitely a loyalty discount thing though.

Skandranon posted:While I resent the full price for what feels more like a DLC (same engine, lots of similar assets, etc), I do look forward for some more of Jack. He's what made Borderlands 2 a much more engaging story (first time around) than BL1. BL1 barely had a story (something to do with the Crimson Lance and a vault?), but right from the beginning of BL2, you know you hate Jack and are going to smash his face in. If they can pull that off again, should be fun. BL1 had plenty of story, it was just really easy to miss because huge chunks of it were text and/or optional and so quite easy to miss. Bl2 has lots more voice work so it stands out more. Having a properly engaging antagonist did do wonders for it though, as you say.

Not enough variety in your choice of vault hunters there. Also, Knoxx would be wasted as a player character, he needs as much dialogue as possible. He'd be better as your chief contact/questgiver.

CJacobs posted:Fair enough. Sometimes the arrows are deceptive as to what is "better", like how the green arrow for grenade fuse time actually means longer fuse time even though shorter is more beneficial, etc. but that's just a niche case. Also not true. Green arrows point to shorter fuse times on Grenade mods. See here - Re: Game feeling like DLC - I think that's how it started, they talked about the Moonbase DLC a lot. I'm happy with the amount of content i've seen from the promo stuff, though. From Borderlands 2 I can only really recall seeing 3 or 4 areas in any kind of detail in the promo stuff, out of the what, 20ish areas there ended up being? The proof will be in the pudding, but I'm hopeful it'll be a full sized game.

The TPS Season Pass is up on Steam with a price - £24.99/$29.99. US has a way more favourable price, opposite to what happened with the base game. Not much more info on it. Says it includes Characters and Story DLC, which we knew. Also says DLC content will be out by October 2015, which is slightly less time than it took for the last BL2 DLC to come out.

Not even slightly. You might say most AAA games have a preload, but that'd still be touch and go. BL2 did though, so it's not unlikely this will.

Gestalt Intellect posted:I'm also worried about the game falling into the same traps as BL2 with horribly broken scaling and such that will ruin the later parts of the game. Yes, there has been talk of the scaling having been toned down. Nothing in official releases as far as I know but one of the big BL2 streamers (gothalion I think) said he was told at an event that the scaling is somewhere in between BL1 and BL2. I forget if it was in this thread or the BL2 thread that it came up though. Edit: I just spotted in the 9 min Introduction video, toward the end when it mentions MULTIPLE CHARACTERS there are 5 classes shown on the save selection screen -  Gladiator, Enforcer, Lawbringer and Fragtrap we know about. I guess Doppelganger is going to the the Jack double that was mentioned at some point? AirRaid fucked around with this message at 20:49 on Oct 11, 2014 |

I understand that living beings need oxygen to breath but it seems silly then to make losing it all a penalty. Why not just make it jet fuel to power your boost and butt stomps? Well the penalty Mechanic isn't really a penalty (to you), but you can use it against enemies. Played an hour and a half, game owns. Deadlift fight was kinda rubbish til I swapped guns and took him down way faster. Can't wait to get some co-op going when I can unlock it properly.

OK so I futzed with the Loot table that AHungryRobot Linked and decided it was too complicated and annoying, so I took the salient points from that one and threw them into the old loot table file for BL2. Result: TPS Loot table file with a lot easier access and the "Sensible" preset I made for BL2 alreaady loaded. Grab it here. This also has the dumb CE 6.2 check removed so you can use the newer versions with no hassle. Credit to whoever made the original, I forget. You can just run that file direct, once TPS is loaded. Click the Item/Rarity checkbox then the presets one and choose a preset, or modify the numbers manually. I'm not sure if the "Drops" section at the bottom works any more, might be broken.

Skandranon posted:I have. Considering that the exact same buggy in BL1 and BL2 was BETTER at jumping, ON PANDORA, something is wrong with the moon buggy. Well it's not the same buggy. It's probably based on the Runner from BL2 but it doesn't have the same handling at all. It turns tighter and grips more, which people have complained about, and it does feel pretty heavy when jumping. Question is, why does it even matter? I can't think of a single time you actually need to use the thing, apart from just getting around a bit faster. Every (all two!) jump you supposedly need it to make can be made on foot, until you unlock the Stingray which is hilariously better for getting around. Just don't use the Moon Buggy if you have a hate boner for it. Also, people complaining about Nisha's autoaim being too sensitive or some poo poo are crazy, you just look vaguely in the direction of some dudes, pull the trigger until they fall over and then look for more dudes. With a good Jakobs pistol it's hilarious. I wish it properly aimed at Crit spots though rather than centre mass. Incoming Chinchilla posted:So I'm gonna take this thread being on page 2 this close to release as a bad sign. Not really, a lot of threads in Games move pretty fast. Stuff gets to page 2 quite easily in peak times. And yes, your summation is pretty accurate. If you enjoyed BL2 this is more in a similar vein, but with enough changes that it'll still feel fresh.

Random rear end in a top hat posted:Also, pretty much all the legendary lasers are less good then their purple beam equivalents. The ZX-1 is the only one that even comes close. Have you tried the Excalibastard? I just picked it up and its pretty awesome. Probably the only useful Railgun laser I've come across because of the boosted crit damage. Alien Rope Burn posted:A decent enough excuse to shoot faces for 20+ hours, tho. I'm at 80 hours played already  Also is anyone else running into a levelling issue around 32-33? I've done every single available sidequest except "To Arms!" including all the level 35 ones that spawn at the start of Artificial Intelligences, but that main quest is level 35 and I'm struggling to reach 34. I've run out of quest XP to get and grinding random mooks to get like 100K xp doesn't sound appealing. I'll just push on with the main quest anyway, but it seems like a slight mismatch in available XP there. AirRaid fucked around with this message at 21:38 on Oct 21, 2014 |

ShadowedFlames posted:So my partner and I finished Normal at level 26 last night on PS3 (me as Athena, him as Fragtrap). A few takeaways from it: You were underlevelled. You wanna be about 26 going into RK5 really, and 28 or so at the Vault. That's roughly what the enemies equate to anyway. Seems like TVHM starts at 28, too. Also I just found a neat bug if anyone liked those starting weapons and doesn't have access to Gibbed. Start a new character, skip the cutscene and get to the character creation bit. I just wanted to look at a head I had unlocked for claptrap but I dont have a claptrap yet so I just looked at that then quit baack ot the mian menu. Upon slecting my Wilhelm again and continuing the game I got the Loyalty reward popups - 2 items and 30 moonstones. Sure enough I have 30 extra moonstones and the Bullpup and Smasher - Level appropriate.

mastersord posted:Here's what I did: This is the only bit that probably mattered. I'm getting bored of people saying "X fight is too hard!" and then revealing they are 2 or 3 levels under the boss. The scaling isn't as severe as BL2 but you still really need to be no more than a level below boss fights or you'll be badly outclassed. The level scaling of the main quest seems to take into account you hoovering most if not all of the side quests up. Some side quests give ludicrous XP too. For instance that race quest in triton flats. If you complete it in TVHM it'll give you 10k XP, but if you beat it first time and keep the optional objective checked you get 30k XP. Optional objectives do sometimes affect quest rewards now, heads up. That race quest is a dick though because the route markers are terrible and you'll get lost first time.

If you quit the game and reload the level the quest items will respawn close to where the thing that dropped them was. I had a similar problem with the posters for Springs, and the one offending item respawned on top of the building where the guy was once I reloaded the map.

Sindai posted:You know what's really stupid? The game still only checkpoints at the beginning of an entire area. I crashed at the end of the engine room in Pity's Fall and now I have to slog through the entire map again. Why aren't you doing reasonable checkpoints in the year 2014? Actually if you die and respawn in the same session you'll respawn further ahead - there are plenty of minor checkpoint/save stations (every time you see the lil vault symbol save icon you've gone near one). When you start the game however, (like, after a game crash which they can't really predict, even if they shouldnt happen at all), it'll spawn you at the fast travel point. There are plenty of checkpoints in Pity's Fall to account for dying during normal play. But you're effectively quitting and restarting the game, so it will spawn you at the "start" of the area. Whether that's the last entrance you used or the actual Fast Travel depends on if the FT is activated. Fun Fact: it's entirely possible to roll into concordia at the start, do all the quest crap and go out Moxxi's back door without ever activating the FT station, so you have to slog back in the long way.

CJacobs posted:I learned this the hard way. Please make sure you walk near every fast travel station you come across because they no longer activate upon coming into the area for god knows what reason. Well mostly before the FT station was placed at the entrance to the area. You can actually do the same thing in Three Horns Divide in BL2. You enter at claptraps ship, then go to Sanctuary, then go do the stuff for roland, get the power core from the bandits, back to sanctuary. You kinda go near the FT station in the middle but it's easy to miss tagging it and then having to schlep back out of the sanctuary front door. In TPS the FT stations are in weird places round the maps quite a lot. Outlands Canyon FT is right up near Pickle, and actually this is good because whenever you come back to the area you're closer to where you want to be (usually pickle's place).
