Okay, thank you GAF - I'll give this game a try in the near future. Already bought it via Steam.

Salvador Gunzkering with 2 Double Penetrating Unkempt Harolds is basically the apocalypse :lol
Don't know why it took me until now to decide to level him

Played Borderlands 2 for the first time tonight. Finished the first boss. My thoughts:
I am interested to play Prototype 2 because I like to climb. Dont know if this game is worth a try.
- Technically Borderlands 2 is much better on PC than its predecessor.
- There are a lot of small improvements under the hood: You can mark weapons as favorite and as trash, for example.
- Enemies act much more intelligent as in Borderlands. The difficulty is high.
- The first boss-fight has had the same issues as some of those in Borderlands: You can stay in a safe position (here: at the shop) and kill him without getting hit. I think thats a problem of the open world, but GAF, that is a big issue, I think.

What are the grenades worth getting at 61? That's probably the only gap in my gear aside from getting a 61 Harold.

Storm Front is great, along with the Quasar and Chain Lightning. Shock has some dope grenades. Though I guess it depends what you're looking for in a grenade, for mob slagging the Magic Missile is awesome. If it's EXPLOSIONS you want then the Meteor Shower is what you want (or you can go for a Bonus Package as they're functionally the same but the Meteor Shower is easier to acquire along with having higher damage and child grenade count). If you use your grenades for healing then the Leech is a good bet, or the O-Negative.

Feels better killing Terra in 1 hit.

Profile editor. That's how I killed Vora in one hit when we played a couple weeks ago and couldn't kill him legit. That's why I normally keep my BAR turned off while playing with others. When it's on, I'm crazy OP.
I'm surprised Gearbox don't give a fuck, ah well. If I used something like that I'd feel bad and like I'm devaluing my game, but I'll be damned if that wasn't awesome to see you one shot the raid Stalker.

I wish I had discovered that thing before soloing UVHM. Would have made things much, much easier.

There are a lot of things you can do: More and better story, cinematics, more and better RPG-Elements
But I tell you what: I enjoy the game. As I said before, it is an improvement over its predecessor. I possibly will finish the main quest without doing any sidequests.
Well I cant say I've ever heard of anybody playing Borderlands for the story. lol]blacky[;76825311 said:
Cinematics?
I mean, I'm glad you're enjoying the game at least. It just seems like a weird thing to complain that it still has lots of shooting and looting, when they've never pretended the game was anything other than mainly that.
I suppose you play games for different reasons than I do. Nothing wrong with that, though!

Yeah, that really stings. Salvador especially since he's a late bloomer. It's more like 2 playthoughs though coz you can hit 61 with Bar Room + Bunker which takes like 5 seconds with dual DPUHs

Is there a way to reset the game (quests)? I'm gone through True Vault Hunter and I've done almost all the quests. Is there a way to start at the beginning again with all the content reset? I could go to Ultimate Vault Hunter mode but I get my ass handed to me.

You can reset all quests but only on UVHM.

Is UVHM meant for 61 then? Because my level 50 weaponry does pitiful damage to the mobs.

It's the bridge from 50 to 61.
You need to slag most enemies unless you have insane gear. And even then you kind of need to slag a lot.

UVHM goons are always within 2 levels of you all the way through. What class are you and what have got?
If you have Slag covered with a character skill, Storm Front mod is very sick. If not the Magic Missile mod from Tiny Tina's is invaluable. It hones, Slags enemies and also regenerates grenades over time. It is made to make UVHM easier by allowing you to not waste many weapon slots on Slag weapons. It does help a lot, but there always seem to be one or two strays that avoid the Slag fun. You have to pull out a Slag weapon in larger packs, but it does take out some of the tedium applying Slag on everything using a cooldown or gun.
Finally got around to playing this last night. Did co-op with my roommate. Very fun.
However... Fuck you game for deleting my character save.. Really pissed me off. Apparently doing local co-op with only using 1 account (so 2nd player, my roommate, had my username (1) etc) makes it so it only saves the 2nd player's character and not mine. You'd think they would fix something stupid like that in a patch..
So I'm going to have to restart my character tonight. Luckily I was like only level 7. But still....

My god, I finally got to the legendary loot midget farming in UVHM, amazing. I had the best drops last night in two hours of play than I have had with the previous 200 hours. Some highlights:
-Legendary Siren (finally!)and Commando class mod
-Unkempt Harold
-Monstrous Storm
-Conference Call w/slag. I could have shed a tear when this dropped. I have been trying to get one of these since pre bee nerf. I didn't get to experience it in its true OP glory but I feel like any BL2 arsenal is incomplete without it.

Just because you buy it and download it doesn't mean you have to play it right away. I personally like doing them all after the main campaign. Also since you're not in a rush to play them I'd just wait for the season pass to go on sale again, feels like it happens all the time and all the DLC have something worthwhile whether it's an actual good meaty campaign or really interesting unique gear.

Some info on the upcoming DLC just hit.
You can overlevel the entire game up to 80 despite the DLC only raising your character's level cap to 72. Digistruct Peak itself is "balanced for a full team of four players and takes roughly an hour to complete". Level Cap + Digistruct Peak releases Sept. 3rd.
TK Bahas Bloody Harvest is releasing in October. Three Headhunter packs are planned to release by the end of the year.
Also, haven't seen these posted here: a couple of teaser shots for an upcoming short film in the vein of Krieg's 'A Meat Bicycle For Two':

I wonder if you will be able to use the overpower gear outside of Digistruct Peak?
Xhenxhefil

As far as I can tell, the overleveling does affect the entire game, not just Digistruct Peak. It seems like you complete Digistruct Peak to unlock each overlevel, then when you re-load your game you can choose what level you want to overlevel the game to, provided you've unlocked it. So you can use your overleveled gear outside of Digistruct Peak.

The game scales up to 72 (and beyond with overleveling) within Playthrough 3/UVHM, I believe.
Are threre really that many people who play this game only playing 4 player co-op? I can't be the only one who plays solo. I guess if they're only interested in focusing on multiplayer sales.
The bonus applies when anyone kills an enemy. I've powerleveled many a friends/alt with the relic.
