If you asked me what my favourite game series was, I'd say Borderlands, I've put so many hours into Borderlands 1 and 2, they may not be the best in graphics, the randomness of the loot drops can be rage inducing at times but it keeps on giving, it never gives up, and always tries to please you, with dubstep.

Haven't tried playing it again since, so I don't know whether things work any better in practice. Of course, your enjoyment of Dragon's Keep is based upon of how much you like Tiny Tina as a character.

Yeah, everyone felt The Destroyer was a terrible end boss in BL1, even Gearbox agrees with the amount of times they reference it in BL2, the end game of BL2 is FAR better than BL1 though, and you even get better loot, sometimes.

People mostly just cheese bosses in Borderlands, as in finding a spot on the map where the boss either can't touch you, or you can avoid its attacks very easily, but I'll agree though, bullet sponge bosses are just boring, especially in the higher levels of UVHM where it's a goddamn nightmare. (loving Leviathon in Captain Scarlet's DLC is the worst)

Hopefully Gearbox get off their butts and release either the Pre-Sequal or Borderlands 2 on PS4, one of my regrets about my faithful PS3 dying was not being able to play this game anymore, although Tales from the Borderlands is on New Gen systems, it's just not the same!

Funny thing about Mordecai, while he did date Moxxi for a time, she dumped his rear end for Jack almost the instant his smug face arrived on the scene, just like when Lilith and Roland dated, that didn't last very long because Lilith is a weird, awkward person and Roland was Mister Boring back in Borderlands 1, and he still is in 2! Also, at least characters actually have animations in BL2, the NPC's might as well have been made out of stone in 1 since nobody had any sort of facial animation, hence the masks, a big feature of General Knoxx's DLC was facial animations, Scooter and Athena were the first NPC's who's lips moved during real time speech.

I like Lilith as a character, she's not as spank baity as Moxxi but, Moxxi's entire shtick is that she's a walking sex object/symbol, everything out of her mouth is an innuendo and she herself encourages everyone to drool over her.

The only reason Lilith even got captured was because Handsome Jack knew exactly how to deal with Sirens, his own daughter was one, Angel warned her not to come but she ignored her and did, then Jack got her with that neck collar thing after he killed Roland, even then she wasn't exactly yelling for a rescue, more to "kill me if you can't save me so rear end in a top hat Jack won't abuse my god powers". Roland is the worst character, in that he even starts off captured and got grabbed in a stupid way to start with, then everyone talks about how great a leader is and he gets punked by Jack, it's kinda hilarious when it happens too. Roland, you sucked in Borderlands 1, were the most boring character to play as, you shall not be missed! EDIT: Being a Siren is also why Maya has the highest bounty (before Gaige came along) and unlike the other characters, Jack is dead serious in her audio logs when Angel mentions this.

I'm sour to Roland because a good 80% of players in Borderlands 1 were Roland and most of them were terrible at the game, I remember joining public matches and seeing 3 other Rolands and the warcry of "A Siren, oh my god!" would soon follow.

King Vidiot posted:He had me at the whole "making a woman recount a horrible experience and then shooting her in the head and making light of the fact that he just shot her in the head" bit. Up until then he was just kind of annoying dick who seemed to want me dead for some reason, possibly related to greed and dickishness. It's even meaner as said woman was Helena Pierce, a quest-giver and leader of New Haven from BL1, but she was rather a bland character so I didn't miss her much.

The razing of New Haven is treated like a massive terrible atrocity, but I've been to New Haven, it was a shithole, it was literally Mudcity surrounded by giant piles of garbage and sewage, but it was the "Hub-town" of Borderlands 1 so I guess you were supposed to feel bad it was wrecked but, sorry Gearbox, the place was a dump. Fyrestone was a decent place but once Doctor Ned left for New Haven it was a pure ghost town, not a single soul to be found there.

I like the contrast between locations from BL1 and 2, 1 was mostly desert areas with scrapyards and such thrown in, while 2 is more diverse with snow, grassy plains and such, it still has its barren wastelands of course, but it's not 80% of the area like in the first. Hell, the final Headhunter pack adds a tropical beach resort with palm trees.

The Crimson Lance were supposedly in control of a lot of Pandora's areas during 1, the 10 seconds of plot we got towards the end mentioned people in Sanctuary being forced to pay tribute (Protection money) to them, I guess those areas would have been relatively safe but once General Knoxx died and the Atlas Corporation was dismantled by Hyperion, the areas under their control fell apart. You'll notice that the Badass Bandits wear Crimson Lance gear, which is pretty much what happened to the ones not killed by the Vault Hunters or joined Roland and the Crimson Raiders.

DFlux posted:From what we got from Gaige's story the Good option for living is not in the Borderlands. If you live on the innerworlds where their are actual governments and places of order you do pretty alright. Its just the borderlands that are rampant poo poo. Then again, Gaige did piss an insanely powerful person off by accidently killing his daughter due to Deathtrap shenanigans and having an eye watering 800 million bounty placed on her, that's higher than Maya's bounty and she's a Siren!

Hello Sailor posted:It'd be nice if the guy doing the video recording didn't miss half the action to loot containers. I don't think you understand Borderlands, fights are just there to distract you between opening hundreds of crates, if you don't open every single crate on Pandora in each playthrough, you should immediately uninstall the game forever, or if you are on the console version, snap the disk in half.

There's also more enemies in Co-Op and 4 players has the maximum amount of enemies and difficulty, loot does despawn if left alone for too long but you really have to be sitting on your hands for this to happen. In later areas, opening crates mid battle can sometimes save your butts if you run low on ammo, one of the bosses, Bun3eR even has vending machines in his fight since he takes forever to kill, even with corrosive weapons and the knowledge that you can safely sit by said machines and he'll never hurt you.

Gearbox really needs to make bosses that aren't giant bullet sponges, the raid bosses, while fun, are just bullet sponges and 1 hit kills, which is not so fun.

The Headhunter DLC's have cool bosses and are a little more involved than the main game's lot, the Pumpkin King from the first Headhunter pack for example requires you to clear the area of little dudes who attack you, and kill specific mobs before they climb onto the big guy and heal him. Then there's the giant Turkey boss from the 2nd pack, it's Torgue themed so is of course, awesome!

Side note: Borderlands 2, the Pre-sequel and all DLC released for them is coming to the New Gen consoles next month, so I shall once more bring the joys of to the world! And about favourite weapon types, I'm quite partial to Maliwan weapons, give Lilith a Maliwan SMG with a fire mod in BL1 and you practically won the game, it's not too much different here if you give Maya, or anyone one.

I'm pretty sure Handsome Jack himself designed most of Hyperion's tech since he came to power, which is also probably why the robots feel pain and have obvious weak spots, he's just that kinda guy. He's also the one responsible for Hyperion guns having terrible corporate styled names because who's gonna argue against him and live?

Opportunity is a great area, it has the best Jack audio logs, the best one is Jack talking to the cities builders, he tells them thanks for building this city, but get the gently caress out of here because you aren't good enough to live here, but here's some binoculars so you can look at it from a distance.

Unless Flynt is one of those unslaggable enemies they threw in for the added "gently caress you" bonus. I can't remember which enemies are immune to it, but there's some in UVHM that are. Oh yeah I was playing as Maya and had Phaselock specced so it slagged Flynt upon hitting him, it just was the insane damage he and his backup throws out is what was getting me.

I know it was part of Jack's scheme but Wilhelm seriously went down like a total chump, it was one of the major complaints about the game, every person you meet tells you Wilhelm is a massive threat, the guy even defeated the characters from BL1 single handedly and razed New Haven but here, he goes down in moments. As I've said, I know the plot reasons as to why and I accept it, but I can't help but feel disappointed all the same.

You are actually heading towards one of the more annoying sections of the game, the Gluttonous Thresher fight, I don't think anyone in the history of the game liked that fight, Threshers are annoying pieces of poo poo normally but the big guy has a really fast recharging shield and is rather powerful for the levels the typical player will reach him at. Badass Pyro Threshers are the WORST enemy type in the entire game as well, they are right up there with the Witch Doctors from Hammerlocks DLC.

Once Angel dies however, Jack drops his comical side and becomes deadly serious this is where he stops being wacky and more of a "dude not funny!" type of guy, granted you did kill his power source and daughter but, he's far more menacing from then on. Or maybe he's just showing his true colours and his goofyness early on was just part of his act.

The Grandma's house quest again is a perfect example of the "Dude, not funny" nature that Jack has, Humour is subjective of course but that quest made me laugh but also made me want to kill Jack even more. What kind of dude would send his Grandma to live in the goddamn Eridium Blight right infront of an active volcano and pools of Eridium everywhere, that wacky Jack would!
