Borderlands 2 [PS3/360/PC] review

[MisterBubbles]

Spare some change pal.

[Golgo]

Can you give cash via the trade screen? If so you can have a cool couple of mill, no problem. Be on later...

[wicky]

Yup you can - Anyone picked up the DLC ?

Wondering if it's worth finishing playthrough 2 before picking it up or not.

[MisterBubbles]

Unless your in USA or Australia, im pretty sure the DLC is the 17th, for us in PAL land.

[MonkeyJuggleDX]

Any PS3 folks fancy some co-op? I only have 3 story based trophies to get, but I'm getting a severe ass kicking!

[Riskbreaker]

It's up in euro land too MisterBubbles. I've got the season pass and am downloading it now on Xbox.

I'm on the last boss of this now. Where can I find my playtime stats? It seems a looooong time, what with all the secondary missions I've been chasing, and I'll be kind of glad to see it over - for the time being at least.

[BaronSqwelch]

on the title screen press Y (or triangle I assume) to bring up your characters and a time will be by each one.

I have given up for a while...gets crushingly hard in Opportunity on TVHM and I need a new game to play for now!

[mugetsu]

if anyone needs help with anything on tvhm on ps3 version (farming teram etc) add me.

psn is mugs1

Wow, what a crummy ending! Seems like they couldn't be arsed to think of anything spectacular or write any decent script so just stopped it - with groanworthy, heavy-handed nod to the sequel - and went to the pub early. Ah well, was/is a cracking game, esp. in co-op. Hope they can get a better sense of 'openworld-ness' going for the sequel, would be one of my complaints. Never felt like it really joined up into a 'place' (not even with menu-screen map), what with all those load-barriers all over the place. More customization within the classes would be good too (I agree with that point now, having tried the three Siren trees and not seeing a great deal of difference between them in terms of play-style and effect). Think I'm a bit over-saturated with it now, though, so will be giving DLC a miss. Still: an excellent, riotous and really generous game. Two thumbs fresh, is my score.

[Riskbreaker]

Ugh. Had the most infuriating playthrough on this last night, level 43 Maya fighting a level 44

. On normal it was a breeze, but this was just death after death. It's a bit of a badly designed boss really, as the expectation is that you'll evade homing attacks which by their very nature are a pig to dodge. Bit frustrating as I really don't want to grind levels to beat this seeing as the difficulty everywhere else is pretty much bang on. Aside from the Rabid Scavengers which are two levels above everything and immune to all elements with solid shields. I've killed Super Badasses easier than those little sods and they are everywhere the Preservation area.

Have to say I'm disappointed with the loot drops on TVHM, it's extremely frustrating to find that bosses and badasses have a tendancy to drop rubbish and that's if they drop anything at all. I'm not expecting Legendary drops, but just some blues and purples would be nice!

Any word yet on what the first DLC is like yet? I am slightly nervous that it's been about a month since release and we've already seen the Mechromancer, the first 'proper' DLC pack, and now have details of the second emerging...

As with the first game, some of the DLC is being done by other studios. Not sure if that's the case with Captain Scarlett but it's feasible that this DLC was started once the game hit beta months ago.

[Golgo]

I'm thinking I'll lob the game now and re-buy the inevitable GOTY with all dlc for ?20 next October. Will be up for another run-thru by then.
