It's fun but I can see why people don't like it.

The sequel improves every part of the game except the loot system, which is way, way worse then in 1, and is the most important part, so it's shit as a result and all the other improvements are wasted.
>>
>>339858828
Having a four player co-op FPS Rpg for console was rather a treat back when it came out. But the sequels didn't stand out enough in my humble opinion. They boasted (A FUCK TON OF GUNS) in the second one but didn't seem to alter the looks much, just stats.

Still the best in the series, imo. Best environments, best weapons, best playable characters.

I hope they release a remaster of it. No character in the later releases compared to Brick. Fuck, that guy was fun.

Was thinking about that the other day; after playing all of the BL releases, I think Gearbox saturated the market so much so that I honestly am worn out on the series & have no desire to play a new one. The Pr-Sequel was just a big pile of shit.
>>
Though unpolished and rough around the edges, the game had its quirky charms and made it a good game. It didnt take itself seriously, and what dark humor was there was often subtle. The fact that there was more reading compared to voice acting when it came to missions gave it even more of a proper RPG vibe, because you really did have to read all of the text on missions and shit to understand what was happening around on Pandora.

Gunfeel was solid in the first, everything responded and felt just as the weapon looked. You could really feel the power through a Jakobs Revolver. Still cannot understand how bad they fucked up gunfeel in 2 and the pre-memequel.

It wouldn't have been so bad if the main campaign itself didn't feel like it was meant to be DLC for BL2.

Nah, the main campaign was too big for a DLC. It should have been marketed as an expansion though.

They also increased weapon damage, so this isn't really a problem.

Do quests and then do raids/bosses. That way you can get useful weapons easily.

>>339867121
UVHM is for autistic motherfuckers that want to break the game or those who want a challenge though. You have Normal and TVHM already and you don't need to touch the latter at all since you barely gain experience in those modes past lvl 50.

Bull fucking shit it's not, enemy health scales so much faster than player damage and enemy damage makes player shielding almost completely useless beyond utility.

I have well over 450 hours playing BL1, multiples of each character maxed, and enjoyed myself immensely. I only have one character in BL2, got up to the "plot twist" with Angel/Roland/Lilith. I just don't have the desire to play any more. It took me 5 characters up to Sanctuary just to find one that I wanted to play. The way that guns feel so different from 1 just put me off, and even with some of the changes that are good, I just can't get into it.

Creatively bankrupt, painfully unfunny, dull gameplay and graphics and gimmicky weapon system.

Flakker+Torgue Rocket Launcher on a character with swap speed bonus makes the game a cake walk, all the way through to OP8. The best part is you only ever need to worry about replacing the Rocket Launcher every couple levels.

No the sequels do not improve everything. Part 1 had

>more likeable characters
>a non in your face SJW dialogue and story
>better balance with health and shield
>better loot
>better handling of DLC's
>no forced memes like MLP for example

The sequels are obnoxious with shit humor and shit story that should have been more in the background if they were going to make the dialogue such cancerous shit. There is no need to have made the health and shields such ridiculously high numbers either just because of the stupid perception that "hurr higher number means more awesome!" shit is stupid. The damage is also fucked in 2. There is even a picture that shows how much they fucked it up. 1 was the only great game of the series. Series improves greatly if they remove all the cancerous SJW and memes.

The scaling in BL2 is retarded but it's pretty clearly intended for group play. Me and a friend finished UHVM for the first time last night and the enemies in the pirate DLC seem to have way less HP than anything in the main game for some reason. I dunno if that'll hold up for the other DLCs but it's not too bad at all.

OP levels are kinda pointless and pretty clearly designed for the crazy bastards that actually enjoy BL2's absurd enemy HP scaling for some reason. Sticking at level 72 is fine as long as you're playing in a group.
>>
>>339858828
back when it came out Borderlands was the shit
Brick was a god but roland was my nigga for that full party ammo regen
It was a game that was pretty damn against the grain for most "fps" at that time, having a loot and skill tree system, big ass bosses and farm-able enemies
it created one of the more interesting universes i'd seen in vidya at the time.
Tales from the Borderlands was fucking great too, fit the style so much more than an FPS.
>>339874229
whilst that may be somewhat true, its not 100% necessary like bl2's builds were
iirc you could get lucky as fuck on a blue or white and it have crazy strong stats on part with a legendary/gold whatever the fuck they're called
>>
>>339875202
I had some fucking absurd blue Vladof pistol on Mordecai that carried me most of my way through my first playthrough.

I really hope the next game fixes loot and the level scaling at least a little bit, as long as the writing doesn't get any worse I'd be fine with those changes.
>>
>>339858828
I believe 2 is better than 1.
The only thing that held 2 from being a very great game was the burch writing and the level scaling.

Bl1 got a western theme to it, GB just add alien and they profit, which is nice, given how little western game out there.
The gunplay is pretty good, you don't have to aim downsight everytime, the gun shoot from the hip is pretty acurrate, even for the shotgun.
The intro is better than bl 2
The dialouge from the enemy isn't just "i'm gonna mutilate your corpse" and it have good voice acting, not like the goliath in BL2
The character ability is much more boring thaan BL2, i give you that. However, there were no more Ammo generator

It does suck that most rifles are pretty shit in BL2 though, surprised they never tweaked that or anything since they tweaked the stats on some other weapon categories before.
>>
>>339875995
agreed
they fucked the soldier up so bad in bl2
i still dont know what the best build for him is
that nuke when it deploys seems like a PoS. yet its on the most "soldier" of all the skill trees
the double barrel one where it shoots slag is pretty good though
>>
>>339876348
All the way down the left tree, all the way down the right tree, get teleporting turrets from the middle tree (and any leftover points in Battlefront, more gun damage for you while your turret is up, if you're using an Engineer COM). Then just get a relic that boosts whatever element you want and use guns of that element. Explosive or Shock are good options.

The nuke is okay up to level 50 but past that it kinda sucks, not worth going that far down the middle tree for it. Having two turrets that both slag enemies for you is amazing.

Tiny tina's keep was actually pretty great.
>>
Borderlands had a better loot system, better loot, and better scaling. There was next to no real presentation or exposition and the only thing that anybody remembers it for is the Knoxx DLC which was great. Every other part of the game was forgettable.

Borderlands 2 had better gunplay, better presentation, more and better playable characters, better bosses, and better locations. The scaling after a certain point is definitely fucked but is manageable if you're willing to put in the effort. Similarly the only real good DLC is the Tiny Tina one though the headhunter packs were decent fun.

I certainly don't like the way legendary weapons were handled and I used cheat engine to adjust the drop values to a point that I thought made the game much more enjoyable. If you haven't played the game yet, I recommend doing this, or else you'll miss out on many of the notable weapons and shields in the game. Not that those are the only weapons that can be used as many others like to claim.

Also I played Roland in the first game and was forced to switch to Lilith to stand a chance against Crawmerax. Fuck anybody that says Axton's turret sucks, if you build him properly and know what you're doing you can wipe the floor with any group of enemies and solo raid bosses. Every character in BL2 is capable of playing through all of UVHM. It's certainly easier to play Gunzerker than to play Axton, but at least it's possible. You can't scratch Crawmerax in the first game with anybody other than Lilith.
>>
>>339880930

I was able to routinely beat craw solo with my hunter, but it was by no means a sure bet every time. Even if you abused the cheat spot, there was no guarantee. Had to keep killing the minions until the slow purple ones were all that was left, then just keep running around that pillar to keep craw turning. Maxed pistols tree for the extra damage/accuracy/reload speed, and a powerful 2 shot/3 shot masher were necessary for making the most out of hitting his back. I had maybe a 20% success rate solo, but it is doable.

Make me wants to run through a couple areas and get 20 guys chasing me, for me to turn around and start laying waste to the horde of enemies, spreading fire DoT's with my firehawk, and finishing them off with headshots from my masher, my shields down, and only staying on my feet because I am killing them fast enough for my health to regen.

Melee zero or a sniper?

She prefers to stay at range. When we played 1 together, I played Mordecai with revolvers, and she started as Roland with 3-round burst rifles, but switched to snipers. She wants to start with a focus on snipers and a secondary weapon this time around.

There were too many shitty Australian accents in that game

When I was 14 I spent all day playing this on splitscreen with my friend, and that's how I spent my summer of '09. One of my favorite games, even if I don't get much fun out of it anymore, just because of the memories.

Thunderdome was decent though
The endboss of it was pretty horseshit but besides that I liked it better than the pirate DLC

Krieg makes it fucking impossible for anyone else to see a goddamn thing in a 50ft radius around wherever Krieg is currently exploding so probably not that. Anyone else would work just fine.

For me, Borderlands 2 started out great but the flaws became painstakingly more apparent the more I played. 600 hours into the game and I can barely boot it up without wanting to vomit.

I got the Borderlands series in one of those Humble Bundles about a year back and damn, never have I been so bored so soon into a game. The graphics were awful, and shooting around that desert starting area was horrible. Some of the loot was neat, but I lost interest very quickly as the fetch quests did little for me.

Not sure if I should give it another go... I like Diablo though it did get dull after a whileand I love FPS, so in theory I should like it, right? Is it one of those games that's only fun with friends, or does it just get better later on?

I guess I could run through it on co-op but none of my friends have the game on PC

>>339884263

Yeah, the opening is kind of a drag. Weapons selection is limited to pistol/shotgun/bad combat rifle/bad SMG. For some reason, weapons won't start to appear until certain levels. Like snipers won't show up as loot or for sale until level 5 or so, revolvers around level 15, RPG's around teh same level. Also, you'll start to get ore elemental weapons as you level, and then you unlock more of your skill tree, which makes the game much more enjoyable.

If you can, play with a friend, it's cheap enough on PC to grab a copy, and just go at it.

Kinda shit, but was neat.
Too bad gearbox apparently had no idea why people liked the game so the sequel fixed none of the problems and made zero improvements.

Also what irked me from the beginning was finding out the QT Mechromancer was locked behind $10 DLC, fuck that noise.

Got that shit with the season pass was well worth it.

>>339884923
I've already played the whole main story and a handful of sidequest, I don't feel like it'd be a good investment to buy any of the DLC at this point because there's nothing left to discover.

>>339884676
Enemies don't scale to your weapons, they scale super fucking hard based on level.

Played the first half of BL1 ages ago, now playing the rest (finished Ned DLC today)

playing roland.

I remember running out of ammo at one point, and being unable to escape, but also being unable to progress, and unable to get more ammo, and out of cash. I think it was just before the big bandit boss in an arena thing.

Then I found a lvl18 assault rifle with ammo regen. 20 levels later and I'm still using it.

I tried an SMG but burned through the ammo super quick.

found an ammo-regen mod, but I like my +clip-size% mod.

how do you manage ammo in BL?

Never going to touch BL2 because of the meme-fest
>>
>>339886907
Use multiple weapon types mostly, and scrounge through as many containers as possible
If you were stuck somewhere with no ammo you could just quit out of the game and come back in to start the area at the beginning near Marcus' vending machines.
>>
>>339886907

Use the ammo regen mod when you're out of combat. Switching them in and out sounds tedious but it will make life so much easier until you get the care package skill for the Scorpio Turret.

I was thinking more about it if I want to play another character, probably the siren (lilith?) who has SMG skills
>>
>>339887784

Early game siren with an SMG will blow through ammo very quickly. A few options, get a mercenary mod with ammo regen, find a savior (SMG that regens ammo), or do some sequence breaking.

Once you get to fyrestone, you can port to the DLC areas. If you go to T-Bone Junction (There will be some end game spoilers in the opening cinematic), there are 4 chests (2 grey 2 red) that you can open in the hub area, and only 2 places where enemies can spawn (the fridge in the shrine to Lillith and the courtyard across from Marcus's shop). Avoid those areas, loot the chests, reload the game, sell the loot, repeat. There is an ammo vendor right by the spawn point, and you can buy the second to last ammo upgrade there. With about 45 minutes of running around and selling, you'll be able to carry a ton of ammo.

I loved the first game.
I REALLY loved the second one.
And i have yet to play the presequel.
I will preorder BL3 and its 2 season passes, of course.
Come at me.
>>
I liked it, BL2 was a mistake.

Fun to play with buddies, boring as fuck alone.

Bigguest issue for me is how there's no punishment at all for dying. You get killed, you respawn to the last checkpoint, whatever enemies you didn't kill are still there, and all that happens is you lose some money? Lame.

Other thing is that I just hate all the dialogue and 90% of the characters.

Looking forward to 3, hopefully they cut out the meme faggotry.
