Borderlands 2, Why you (no)mad, bro? Options

[StealthSigma]

It might have all that, sure, but does it have the best tea party ever?

Does it have.... a Hyperion reconstruction station that tells you when you're reconstructed to not think about the fact that you're reconstructed and that your original body died a long long time ago?

[Halinn]

I'll go with the one that has all the hats. Yay TF2

[Seriously Mike]

Not really, the five Caustic Fuster Clucks i threw at him did pretty much all the killing (IMG:style_emoticons/default/eek.gif)

Somehow I still prefer any grenade that's sticky. They can't run from it.

[Tiralee]

Adding a reply now, as my other one was eaten by a fearsome grue.

As akin to most of the above posters, loving' the ever-slagging shit out of BL2. Scarily, it's (to the power of people playing it) better with friends (not so much with the loot ninjas, thank fuck for invite-only games) and it's set a nice high bar for fun and RSI.

From my usual "wandering conciousness":
Let's see, how's this going...
Claptrap - ah..Oh, there's only one now?
Angel - Check (And yeah, done THAT mission now, and felt like a real monster afterwards)
Scooter - sounding a bit tired...oh god, this inbred's love life is just nightmare fuel waiting to burn.
Moxy - Check. (Oh god, her daughter...Scooter is now explained. Oh, and Scooter has a crush on his sister/half-sister.) I do like some of the additional backstory they've included now re: Moxy's family.
Marcus - Check.
Dr Ned/Zed: Is it just me, or is he sounding more tired/creepy now? Please, let there be a Day-Zed expansion....

The other Vault-Hunters.
Lilith: Eredium junkie?! She's got it under control though. For reals.
Roland - Mr Dependable. I remember him more as the walking ammo regen, though...
Mordaci - too much drinking, Love Bloodwing. Also love how the bird has a 6 billion dollar bounty, and Mordy's got $20.
Brick - Apart from him saying "slab" too many times, he's ok.

Gun! Gunz! GUNZ! Unz! UNZ UNZUNZUNZUNZ {drop}
There's some wild shit out there.
And stay away from the poker machines - those things be addictive. Also at low levels (ie: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) it's a fast way to farm Eredium for SKU unlocks. Also grenades to the face.
SKU unlocks - why U no unlock more?! Space, you needs it.

Missions - God..Jack. HAAAAAAAAAAAATE him more than any single protagonist so far, and that includes the bastard from Bioshock.
- This hatred manifests itself in 5 minutes of starting the game.
- - The slag and Eridum experiment logs are nightmare fuel if you've met Tiny Tina and can connect the dots.
- - - Oh fuck him so much! (the lovely and I were shouting at the TV on one mission. She played Mordi on Borderlands 1. Guess the mission.)

What the Hell, Hero? - This trope is soooo in there.

"Love your parents, but love me more" - After Angel, this was really, really creepy, considering....
Nightmare fuel - just listen to the Psychos. After the first few scripts, they go to some bad places.

So far:
Siren - Loved Lilith the bullet-hose in BL1...in BL2, Maya's more of a heals, crowd-control and save-the-bacon sort of gal. Main Character:P
Commando Archer (took someone's suggestion and am running with it. It's hilarious.) Thought this would be weak but the turret makes Roland's little popgun look like a toy. Also watched a level 22 slaughter his way to my level 30 Siren with it. Mad skills!
Zero: The one-hit wonder, 195K sniper crits for fuck's sake. The melee is interesting as well. I needed to heal the player a lot though (Maya's bullets heal - nice touch)
SalvatorrraaaRRRRGHHHH SMASH. Was playing with a noob to the game and suggested that rather than hulk out with pistols, he use those rocket launchers. Cue mad gunzerk love.

Basically, lovin' it - more to come:)

Wildlife Preservation? Jack is an adorable lovable douche.

[Yerameyahu]

Yeah, Tiralee, one great thing about BL2 is the way everything's tied together, discoverable backstories for everyone, etc. Love it.

[Seriously Mike]

You unlock hats in BL2 too. You get a hat for each character if you happen to have a BL1 save on your HDD. You win hats and color sets through quests and slot machines.

You also earn "hats" for vehicles. And by hats I mean color sets including the awesome Turquoise color set for the bandit vehicle that puts what I believe I Lilith in a bikini top on the hood.

[Critias]

Mrs. Crit and I are still lovin' it. We hit level 25 last night, with a bank robbery in Lynchwood.

I really dig Handsome Jack. I mean, I get that I'm supposed to hate him -- but the voice actor just did a great job with this bastard. This utter, utter, bastard.

[Tanegar]

See, before, I was definitely going to pick up Borderlands 2 after XCOM. Now I'm torn between the two.

I did that last night as well. Did you find all the echos of Axton? Amusing. Also, my turret is better at the game than I am.

I'm 1 level away from getting the badass Zer0 ability in the sniper tree for stacking benefits from successive critical hits.

That's what Singularity Grenades are good for. They CAN run from it, but it puls them back in ...!

(Also, it gathers groups of enemies for my Sabre Turret's Rocket barrages ...)

I believe the proper phrase is Magnificent Bastard. Which Handsome Jack certainly qualifies for, IMO.

DANGER! That's a TVTropes link! Follow it at your own peril!!

Singularity grenades are good for sucking bandits into the whirlpool in the Bloodbath Stronghold. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

[Yerameyahu]

It would be really hard not to get that you're supposed to hate him, though. (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.

[CanRay]

Try being able to afford only one.

[Tanegar]

That's what I'm saying. Two $50 games in one pay period ain't happening.

[CanRay]

That's what I'm saying. Two $50 games in one pay period ain't happening.

Try not being able to afford Borderlands 2 until it hits the $10 shelf is more what I'm aiming at.

[Critias]

Try not being able to afford Borderlands 2 until it hits the $10 shelf is more what I'm aiming at.

So write more! It only takes about a 1,500 word gig to score a new XBox game. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wink.gif)

[_Pax._]

Then I have three words for you. They are:

(1) Steam;
(2) Holiday;
-and-
(3) Sale.

^_^

Oh, like I'll have money during the Holidays.

[Tech_Rat]

I say we all pitch in and help our most favorite of all drunkards writers get BL2. I have $2.50USD in my pocket right now.

I'm Canadian, not a drunk.

Although it can be hard to tell the difference at times.

[_Pax._]

Oh, like I'll have money during the Holidays.

And who said you would be the one paying for it? If there's a good sale, maybe I'll make with the "ho-ho-ho"-ing. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
