It's an awful step beck and the UI designers should be ashamed. It favors flash over substance. Just like the Skyrim UI situation. Not everything is awful, but the main inventory screen and shop screens are just plain out bad.

This stuff is funny but I feel like the people that think this stuff is fucking hilarious are the same people that own GIR shirts that they bought at Hot Topic.
GUYS. GUYS.
I found the best weapon ever created in a video game.
I found a legendary tediore shotgun.
When I reload, it launched the shotgun and homes in and shoots at enemies and explodes while I am shooting at enemies.
SO I HEARD YOU LIKE SHOOTING, SO WE MADE A SHOTGUN YOU CAN LAUNCH TO SHOOT YOUR ENEMIES WHILE YOU SHOOT YOUR ENEMIES.
And its shocks, so on a siren with 30%+ elemental, its, GLORIOUS.
We also found a legendary assault rifle with 1000 damage per shot. Our Axton is using it for much win.
(we are between 24-27)

PhysX: what better way to show it off than opening an overflowing port-a-potty.
From what I remember hearing they just decided it was lame.
As long as you dont complain about Handsome Jack. Really good bad guy in that you hate some of the stuff he does, but then he's funny in that insane way.
The Siren's phaselock is the really unique power in the game.
Other guys here say there are some.
I always expect the worst so i'm more inclined to belive them.
Learned my lesson from this gen, expecting the worst is a good rule of thumb.

At least it makes the credit penalty for dying trivial.
Question about mods that add points into the skill tree. So it takes a minimum of 26 points to reach the bottom skill. Does a mod that adds +3 to that skill tree reduce the total points required to get the bottom skill, 23 in this case? Also, what's the highest skill points a mod gives? The highest I've seen is +5.

I wonder what kind of corrective action they can take against PC players. It appears that all character data is still client-side like Borderlands 1.

I just knew exactly what type of humor I was going to get from this game, and for that reason I'm enjoying it and finding it funny. I mean, bonerfarts. That was genuinely funny to me in the context of the borderlands universe. Am I going to crack bonerfarts jokes in front of my friends or coworkers and assume they'll find it hilarious? No.
Having a voice over come up randomly when playing a mission can be a real annoyance especially as some others have said, if dialogue is already playing then he cuts in over it. This isn't bastion. I don't need a voice over while I'm just shooting enemies. It's not as bad as an audio book being read the whole time I'm doing missions but it's a little annoying.
Edit: To be clear though I'm loving the game. Best I've played all year!

I really wish that you could pick up loot with an alternative button, like Q on PC, and it would auto mark it as trash in your inventory. That would be soooooooo fucking helpful.

Agreed. You'll start hearing voice over while guys are shooting you. Most of the time it isn't anything crazy meaningful but it is irritating to miss dialog because your coop partner is fighting for his/her life.

The only problem I have is with repetition. A certain reference was great the first few times. I've heard it about twenty times now, and I'm only level 11.

I doubt they do anything other than patch out the ability to change the number of keys via the .ini file.
I agree, the game has too much dialog, and is way too heavily scripted.
Isn't this a bannable response?

there's a thin line between love & hate.
This would have been the best shield I have. Relatively high booster drop chance, decent delay and high recharge rate for the level, good cap.
The problem? That little lightning symbol. See, when that 12% booster chance triggers, it drops a shield right? Right. Good shit. Well...it also drops a set of 3 bouncing lightning grenades that hurt foe and friend alike every couple of seconds (3 rounds of 3 sets total). So even if you wanted to run in and grab the booster, you can't or you'll probably die. Which, of course, defeats the fucking purpose of equipping a shield that kicks out a booster at all. You probably needed it when it was triggered, but you have to wait maybe 7 seconds before you can even get close to it.
These lightning grenades fly out of the booster itself (picture a water fountain) so wherever the booster lands (whether far away from you, or right next to you if it hits a wall and falls close to you) shit is taking heavy damage. It would be one of the coolest items I've found IF the lightning didn't also damage ME too....but it does. The chances that it shoots out extra damage to an enemy by bouncing next to him seems to in no way make up for the risk involved. I've been killed by this shield at least 3 times that I can remember and have moved on to another. I don't know if it's a glitch that this is happening, but it fucking sucks if it was intentional. An otherwise excellent shield completely ruined by its ability to self-inflict damage on you unexpectedly. Sometimes you won't even know what's hitting you. If you don't hear the audio trigger and are zoomed in, you won't know until you're in Fight For Your Life mode suddenly.
/frustrated. Wiskey Tango Foxtrot indeed. You'll be saying WTF on a regular basis.

Man, I'm of the complete opposite opinion... I'm loving all the dialogue and Handsome Jacks constant presence.

I'm about level 20 now and there's been no framerate issues. Just remember where you are, and remember how things get blown out of proportion. The game runs great on the 360, and I'd imagine the same is true of the PS3 version.
As long as you understand it is irrational more power to you. I would just hate to see a sane person read this and take it as truth. Next generation you should play all games on the PC for max frames per second!

Totally agree. I love him.
As stated, my only problem so far is with repeated one liners of random enemies. Jack's long meanderings are absolutely fantastic.
I think seeing the face of the bad guy and having the bad guy talk to you so much while you're just doing normal things is one of the worst trends in gaming in recent times. It makes the bad guy seem rather silly.

Eh. I like all the dialogue. I got kind of bored of BL1 since I didn't play a lot of co-op and roaming the wastelands was kind of lonely and largely mindless. I guess it helps that I find it funny and I'm not easily annoyed by characters just because they talk a lot or have a funny voice.

respawn rate?
That is one thing that is bothering me. The respawn rate is a bit too fast. Often if I am running back to a vending machine to sell some guns, by the time I get back to where I was I have to re-fight enemies.

Clap Trap, Handsome Jack, Tiny Tina, Scooter, Zed, Marcus etc etc have all been great so far. My only complaint is when Jack's dialogue kick's in while I'm fighting and I can't hear it.
Enemies appear to leash to specific areas and also forgot you're around rather quickly, so getting through areas with respawned mobs isn't all that difficult. Just run.
The enemies respawn with the quickness. Sometimes I was actually finding it tough to kill a boss because enemies kept popping out of random doors.
of the enemies.
That's how BL is with all bosses. Lots of minions running about.

What's the best weapon that can come out of the slots in Sanctuary? Anyone ever get anything good? I just blew like 2K on those damn slots. @_@

False. The game has noticable framerate drops on Xbox 360 in areas with a lot of enemies and a lot of action going on. It's not game breaking by any mean, but it's definitely present.
Ya, they need to double the time it takes for enemies to respawn.

that annoyed me one time. I just sprinted past most of the enemies and that was that.
IT bothers me that the dude asking about framerate is clearly sensitive to it and people are still trying to tell him to buy the game anyway by telling him he won't notice it or it doesn't exist. Like why do people want this dude to waste his money?

That was like that in the first Borderlands. The first one had a 20 minute-ish timer I believe. I think it is more apparent as some of the strongholds are quite longer, at least it seems so with what I've played so far.
They shouldn't take any action. The exploit is there because they fucked up and left it there, and since this isn't a competitive multiplayer game then there's no balance or fairness issues to worry about. Fix the exploit and then leave things alone.
