Borderlands 2 [PS3/360/PC] review

[Ouenben]

I have a question on progression as I'm not sure if the game has gone wrong or I'm doing something incorrectly:

->Open Spoiler<-

I have just killed Bloodwing who went through the floor and the objective is showing as underneath me. I assumed there was a chamber underneath but I can't seem to get to it, the lift only goes up and no other doors seem to lead there? The section that opened to release Bloodwing is closed, if it's meant to be there how do you get down?

That's a glitch. When that happened to me on another mission I just save and quit and loaded it up again and it worked fine. Annoying but at least you get extra experience I suppose.

Been over caustic caverns three times on three missions and I'll be damned if I can find the

edit - spoilers don't hide the YT links I see, obviously don't click that if you want to avoid spoilers!

You pretty much go straight through the level to where you first picked up the minecart to push through, you turn right instead of going into the little bit of tunnel, go along about a metre and then turn left - ahead of you will be minecraft stone instead of the normal stone wall.

This video shows it quite clearly:

It's a nice touch but shame it isn't a bit longer, it would have been great to have an arena style section and have to hold out against the Minecraft enemies.

I think you may have a problem John...

The item you need is on the corpses neck and should just be on the floor of the area you fought her

Found the minecraft area and was insta-killed by a Creeper

*edit* mega late reply it seems

[Golgo]

Thanks John, will check it out later.

Been a few days so only just managed to get back on this, I'm just after

->Open Spoiler<-

The Rescue Roland

mission. That one went on for a fair while. Finally opened some more side missions so going to mop those up next.

I just did that one CTN. Quite tricky solo in places. Actualyl I just remembered I haven't actually finished it yet. I had to fight a massive robot that had him captive and it appears that I failed so now he's somewhere else lol.

Level 15. This is great stuff.

[Neon Ignition]

That last bit against the robot was a pain, I ended up having to hold off and use my sniper rifle to make quick work of the bots that spawn until there was a gap. Then I legged it behind the big bot and knelt down behind a small wall, it kept me pretty much covered from fire so I could pick it off slowly. A must, as after the fight there's another wave that appears

[eastyy]

are some of the voice actors different or is it just me ? marcus and scooter sound different

[fuse]

I'm at level 24 now, I think chapter 11? It's still just as compulsive as the original, but if you asked me to tell you why it's better than it, I'd really struggle. The sense of humour's a lot stronger, but aside from that it's really just more of the same.

I'm playing a Gunzerker, and whilst I like the action skill I'm not finding much benefit from things I'm unlocking from the skills tree - not sure if anyone else is the same? I was also paranoid about 'badass tokens' and redeeming them up until I was about to switch off last night, so now when I start again tonight I'm coming in with 60 newly assigned stat boosts - should make things interesting

[Neon Ignition]

I've been redeeming my Badass tokens and upgrades as I go but I've also not really noticed any difference with them. Keeping on top of the Grenade, weapons and Shields seems enough to stay in line with the enemies in this.

[Brad]

I find all the upgrades and stuff a bit overwhelming. Never know what guns to sell, use etc. And the inventory UI continues to be crap. Can't get used to it at all. Still an ace game though.

[eastyy]

i think there is a option in the badass token screen that you can swithc those stats off so you can compare

The percentage increases from the badass tokens are very small so unless you used lots at once then you're not going to see the difference really. I like the idea of the separate badass ranks but would prefer they structured it so that you didn't rank up so fast and the benefits were more noticeable.

[rmoxon]

For me the worst thing about the badass token system is that it says your upgrades are shared across all characters. It seems to go aginst the idea of having four very different characters to play as. Also wondering are your options from each token randomised or are they the same for everyone?

This is a game that should be all about choice, you shouldn't only be able to spend the tokens on 5 specific things every time, you should have one big list and build your character how you want too.
