    Loving it so far, it's very similar to the first game, just tweaked slightly, looks and feels great and is a whole lot of fun to play.

    I have a Gunzerker on lvl 12, a Commando on 10 and now a Siren on 8.

    Commando's been my fave to play so far followed by the Gunzerker. I played through to completion as Lilith in the first game, but Myra's siren ability doesn't sit as well with me as Lilith's dod, so I'm not enjoying her as much.

    Have been multiplaying with friends too all the way which makes it a lot more fun. I leave my game set to "online with friends only" so they can jump in if they fancy it.

    I died twice fighting flynt. Then after I respawned the 2nd time, I finally killed him by taking potshots from the doorway :o

    Loving melee / sniper combo. Only level 11 but taking it real slow ensuring I miss nothing.

    I like that locker that you can leave items for your other characters. AS IF I DIDN'T NEED TO HOARD ENOUGH FOR ONE!

    That guy that hangs around Marcus' store gives you some savage stuff.

    Anyone played the slot machines? Spent nearly 5000 trying to get the borderlands signs :o


  • Registered Users Posts: 14,347 ✭✭✭✭Grayditch


    Yeah, when you get three Raiders, you might wanna step back from the machine :)

    Yeah, got mine from Amazon today too.

    What's the deal with installing from a disc? Can you just use the code to download it all from Steam and ignore the disc?

    Have they made comparing guns any easier? I always got confused looking at guns with lower damage but more X7 or whatever (wait, was that multiplier for headshots?! :confused:).

    I used to use the price of the gun to decide what I kept.

    The x7 (or whatever) multiplyer seemed to apply to shotguns and burst fire weapons.

    Example: 25x10 shotgun would fire 10 pellets, each one having a base damage of 25, so a potential base damage of 250 if all pellets hit. That's before elemental effects and the resistances/strengths/weaknesses of the target are taken into account.

    Online does not seem to be working very well for me, Searched for public matches and could only find 4:(

    Me too... spent all the money I had (a little over $10,000)! Twice I got 2 vault signs and off by 1 in the third (bandit)... Got a bunch of weapons, but none were great, sold them all.

    What I did get lots of on the other hand was Eridium! Very nice! Got double Eridium once even, which at my level (13) is a bid deal.

    Didn't know you could win Eridium on the slots. I must revisit!!

    FYI for newer players or those not familiar with Borderlands 1: Using the right weapon and the right elemental type is very important against some enemies. Badass mobs for example can be killed much more easily with a Fire type shotgun to the face at close range. You can kill them in about 3-4 shots usually. Compare this is several hundred bullets for other guns.

    Remember...electrical guns destroy shields, fire guns destroys HP, corrosive destroys armor and slag makes mobs vulnerable to all other weapons.

    Storyline is a lot better than 1 already. Some of the weapons and grenade mods are just nuts. I got a grenade mod, that seeks mobs, explodes, splits into 8, then explodes again.

    The side quests are good also, and the characters you meet along the way, I dont want to drop any spoliers so wont go into any detail. But so far, thoroughly enjoying the experience.

    I was playing the slots in an open public game. Some dude comes online, stands behind me and then just steals the weapon I won and l logs off. I was a bit slow in accepting it at time. You live and learn.

    Right lads, after the Out of Body Experience quest should I
    go for the gun or the shield?


  • Registered Users Posts: 232 ✭✭lemon_remon


    Where's the best place to pick this up for ps3?


  • Registered Users Posts: 29,842 ✭✭✭✭Zero-Cool


    Got The Scaling Shotgun earlier, absolute beast of a gun that lobs giant balls of fire, 12 in a round. Killed dr. mercy in no time. Looks absolutely class as well with scope and jaws mouth.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,649 ✭✭✭Not The Real Scarecrow


    so glad that I gave this a chance. Hated it at first but stuck it out and am loving it at the moment. Game gets really good once you hit sanctuary.

    fire like mad, hit reload, throw gun as grenade...
    heh heh heh I didn't think I'd like Tediore guns because of this but they're epic!
    (and it's pretty decent stats for early on)
    Be warned though if you fire one round and toss the gun you lose the remainder of the ammo clip too :(

    The first 3 areas I found a bit tedious but starting to get into it now.
