Anyone get it in hmv and did the dlc come with it?

Got it on xbox there and it came on an insert in the box. I think it's just included in all the 1st batch of games shipped.

Grayditch · 21-09-2012 7:43pm

I now have 3 different DLC things. I hope they don't unbalance the game, or whatever.

Gunmonkey · 21-09-2012 8:40pm

The 3 Gearbox Guns are ok, but I had ditched them within an hour for better guns. The artifact is useful but its only about +1% item find, finding items isnt a problem for Borderlands. The Golden Key could be slightly unbalanced, since the item you get from the chest is based on the level you open the chest at, but then you could open another chest anywhere and find a purple thats better.

I love those Goliath guys or whatever their names are. When you blast off their head, they go crazy and start leveling up over time. It's really useful to lead them into other bad guys. They clear practically everything out

Oh for anyone that does have it - not a spoiler - but don't forget to spend your Bad Ass tokens.

Is anyone experiencing excessive texture pop in on the PC version? I know there is the usual bit at the start of a level but for me it happens every time a chest/box opens (on all the items spawned) and even seems to happen a bit as I move around.

All my drivers are up to date and all that good stuff.

That texture thing is something that has carried over from the original

Does anyone agree or even disagree with me about the lack of challenge in the game?

Don't get me wrong, I do like it. The attention to detail,story and characters are very good. But when you go into every fight knowing you will breeze through it, it takes the excitement out of it.

That's what i thought when i started the first one. Things change. Things really change.

Does the difficulty ramp up significantly in this one? I'm about 8 hours in.
I had the same problem for the entirety of the original btw.

I'm using Zero and trying to go the melee route, so it's the sword all the way. Using invisibility is vital with it though, no chance otherwise.

ShadowHearth · 21-09-2012 10:33pm

well played just a bit today. was jumping between eve online and borderlands

love it so far. its like borderlads 1.5, but not in the bad way, but in very good way.
will give it a go again tomorrow.

How does that work? Do swords drop as well or is the damage based on something? Sounds like a fun way to play!

No, it's your melee attack so you can wield a gun as well (I'm just trying not to use it). While invisible your melee damage goes up by 650% at the start and increases as you stay invisible for longer (at the cost of a longer cooldown time). By putting points into the Bloodshed skilltree you can really ramp up your melee power and get bonuses for attacking from behind and stuff.

tuxy · 21-09-2012 11:12pm

Update: Tundra Express area seems to be reasonably challenging. I'm level 16 and finally this game seems to be starting

Grayditch · 21-09-2012 11:27pm

It's not feeling like a sequel yet. I mean I loved the first one so much that I'm not bothered, at the moment, it's early days. I'm going the Melee route with Zero, too. Melee seems more effective in this, thankfully.

dreamers75 · 22-09-2012 12:32am

Loving this, its borderlands 1 with everything fixed and new improved ****.

Have to go DMZ to play as my router is a retard

that annoyed me.

Steam is currently doing routine maintenance. They announced it yesterday.

Grayditch · 22-09-2012 1:50am

Used my Gold Key by accident, as the skin hadn't loaded on the skull crate, and I thought it was just a white crate. Saaaake.

Got two revolvers. Gave one to the missus.

Neeeeeever gonna use it.

cherryghost · 22-09-2012 2:35am

Annnnd anyone who playing during the Steam maintenance may have noticed that logging back in results in your game rewound about 2 hours

RoyalMarine · 22-09-2012 11:06am

anyone else have an issue with using mousewheel up/down to change between weapons?

when i do it, my weapon always reverts back to the same weapon. e.g. he goes to swap the weapon, but the same one appears.
ive got two diff ones equipped btw....

Did the exact same thing. I *actually* looked like a rage comic

Playing Maya like a gunzerker. Her phaselock is better than I thought it would be, but had stockpiled 4 skill points before I decided what to spend them on.

Could be the mouse-wheel sensitivity is way high in BL2, so when you try switch it skips 2 instead and back to the first weapon.

Not sure about pc, but on xbox if you go into the extras on the main menu there is an option to sign up for Gearbox Shift, doing so will give you customisation stuff and an extra key

On PS3,I'll give that a go cheers. I was looking forward to keeping it until a much later level.

As far as I know that's the way the saves work. So don't quit a game in the middle of a mission or you're just back to the start again.Finding it very annoying.
Really trying to like this game but it just feels really bland or something...can't put my fihger on it.It looks good and plays well but its just not as good as I think people have made it out to be.Will give it a few more go's and hopefully will start to get into it a bit more.

Is anyone finding that there is no challenge in this game? Difficulty level seems to be set for people who never play first person shooters.
They did a great job on mouse control for the pc version so maybe the difficulty is designed for joypads and there is no way to change it.

Play on a harder difficulty. It is so much more fun when you are constantly scared of everything!

:eek: The box is nearly the same size as the one the Rockband stuff comes in , looks like a find haul of goodies indeed .

Potential-Monke · 22-09-2012 2:42pm

It's actually smaller than I was expecting. But definitely one of the better special editionsnive got. The bobblehead Marcus is good solid quality, and the cloth map is savage. The loot chest itself feels cheap, but I wasn't expecting much else. The extras are pretty cool too, but haven't had time to read everything yet.
