(IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) It starts light (oh, he sneers a lot), but very quickly amps up into various war crimes and unspeakable atrocities… impressive. The game producers came out and said that Handsome Jack is a douche. Butt stallion! -- CanRay, what's your steam ID? |

Right, but I'm saying that's just not true. A douche drives up the left side of a line of merging cars on the highway. Hitler was not 'a douche'. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/nyahnyah.gif)

Side note. I've acquired a Hyperion sniper rifle that nags me about killing people and is starting to make me feel guilty about killing bandits.

Finished on Maya as well - Level 32 and had a reasonable time of it, more due to a lucky selection of weapons for the end boss than any specific strategy.
Apparently, Jack has a bit of dialogue to say at the end, but as I just punched and punched and punched his twitching corpse for 3 minutes in a red-haze...I can honestly say I don't remember much of it. Going on the "real" mode was a bit of a kick - after a respec I'm living and heal like a mofo but ammo dependancy is killer at the moment. Maybe I should start plugging a ton of Badass medals into melee and equip a melee pistol/rifle... Great game - better with friends though, god. And when the fuck are they going to drop to mechanomancer/dlc's:P -Tir |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif) Worse than that, I had a bug where it was nagging every time I reloaded ANY weapon, even after I threw it in my bank. (that's the rifle you get as part of the XKCD reference). |

I got paid today, and thought about snapping up Borderlands 2, but I'm just not prepared to drop $60 on a game anymore.

QUOTE (Tanegar @ Oct 5 2012, 04:42 PM) I got paid today, and thought about snapping up Borderlands 2, but I'm just not prepared to drop $60 on a game anymore. The main reason I preordered it (instead of waiting to buy it used like I normally do) is that some of our gaming buddies were excited to get it and wanted to play co-op with us, so we didn't want to wait like a year or two to get to play with them...and because my wife went "ooh!" when she saw some preview/concept art for the Mechnomancer DLC chick. So since that locked it in that we'd be picking up the DLC for her, I might as well preorder (and get it for free) instead of waiting (and having to pay $10 for the DLC). But yeah. It's pretty rare for me to buy games new, and there are THREE this year that have enticed me into it (Sleeping Dogs, Borderlands 2, and Assassin's Creed III). That's...never happened before. I'm normally a huge "screw it, wait a few years and get it for $20" guy. |

I never got through the first Assassin's Creed. There were just too many silly things, like galloping being a capital crime, or masquerading as a monk by bowing my head despite the sword hanging from my belt.

I haven't played any of the AC games since Assassin's Creed II, which was a huge improvement over the first one (in my opinion). I skipped over the other two, but I'm too big a fan of the period involved (what with teaching courses on it) to pass up any game set during the American Revolution. Even aside from the novelty of the setting, AC:III just looks like a solid game in all the trailers, etc, that I've seen. Naval combat, set-piece battles, guerilla-style fort raids, skirmishes in the streets of Boston, frontier hunting/tracking/killing action, and an hour of exclusive gameplay for my brand new PS3 (not counting my preorder special stuff)?
Yeah, I'm'a give it a shot. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |

I'm an achievement/challenge whore... so is there anyone who has the PC version of BL2 that wouldn't mind helping me with some of the challenges?

I found a pugger that was wanting to do them plus I've been joining into Playthrough 1 games where people are doing the Hyperion arena so getting teammate revives is easy. So unless I missed something I got all the lv1 challenges (win duels, revive teammates, and trade) and the non-level challenges related to coop done. Now there's only one thing that I know I need to do coop for and that's reviving someone on my Steam friend's list. Oh, and possibly killing Terroricus Tentaculus (I know that's not his name but it's not at catchy as Crawlermax). Hodunk Raceway, Pimon and Tumbaa, Jackpot in Sanctuary, and defending the turrets defending the gateway to Hero's Pass. I might have 1 or 2 others unearned that I don't know about. |

So, I bought Borderlands on Steam tonight. Fought my way from some fucking glacier of doom to Sanctuary on foot with crap guns that I was overleveled for. The best things I ever saw drop were some blues.
I randomly get a HOLY CRAP purple Hyperion SMG that shoots fire like nobody's business and has blades on the end, out of one of the god-damn LOCKERS in Scooter's upstairs. Wander around the town, did some of Marcus' crap quests. Power goes down for a split second. I LOST THE GUN. I feel like I lack the will to go on. [e]And I've searched. Evidently Gearbox decided to encrypt the BL2 saves, so no easy WillowTree savegame editor (yet). Goddamnit. |

You'll get tons of other guns, and you can win with any random crap anyway. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) The real problem in these games is too many good guns, forcing to you get rid of them. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/frown.gif)
I'm surprised you didn't wander past a save point, though. I find that I'm constantly saving (accidentally, as evidenced by that flashing A vault icon). Editing is cheating. Hehe. |

There aren't many save points in Sanctuary. Actually, I don't think there are any beside the one at the front. QUOTE Editing is cheating. Hehe. Yes it is! And it's damn fun, too. I miss assembling ridiculous beardy cheeseguns in WillowTree for Borderlands. |
