Interview: Borderlands 2 Lead Writer Anthony Burch!

Firefly? Ok, I like this guy.

 

[Gotchaye]

The Destructoid interview is really good.

Tara is not just hot she asks a lot of good and interesting questions.

Edit: It looks like Gaige is not the only DLC character we will get.

I'm going to continue to hope that they remake some of the old characters. Hopefully the Season Pass gets any post-Mechromancer new characters too, but probably not.

Interview: Borderlands 2 Lead Writer Anthony Burch!

A WHOLE quest about Top Gun references!? Holy Shit, Game of the Forever!

 

[Themacabre]

The Borderlands 2 Season Pass is up on GMG for $29.99 (In North America at least)

The GMG25-1BW0K-K1A3G DOES work so you can grab it for $22.50

Hmm. I bought the game from GMG so I would get this as well...but I'm not so sure about this dlc. Gah, I guess I'll wait and see what it is in a year or whatever.

 

[Einbroch]

When will we be charged and receive our Amazon 4-pack keys?

 

[Parakeetman]

I still want Marcus as a playable character, just so I can hear all the fucked up comedy gold that he spews.

Pitchford pretty explicitly said in an interview they want to do more characters, wouldn't be surprised if more dropped in the future considering all the extra hype this time around.

 

[Aggrotek]

Anthony Burch is so awesome. Great talent there.

 

[Mikey Jr.]

Borderlands 2 Will Be Available on PSN Day One

So i have to wait till 6pm est and i cant preload all for full price? Fuck that noise. Though running it straight from an hdd sounds nice in terms of loading.

 

[RadioactiveLobster]

I threw this together real quick.

It uses the potential spoiler(ish) picture linked a page or so back with all the enemies/creatures/etc..

It's a 5760x1200 Triple Monitor dekstop wallpaper. Hope you guys like it.

That would be great.
Roland, who I enjoyed in BL1 would be a bit redundant, but a tweaked Brick, Mordecai and definitely Lilith would all have their place. We know the characters are in the game already as well, which seems like it would make it easier to add them as there are already models, etc...

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

More info on the Golden Keys. Not sure if you guys saw this.

http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/sh...d.php?t=147008

thanks

So yeah, leaving that chest alone until the level cap increase in the dlcs

I don't know, you probably will have better guns by then.

 

[Santiako]

I'll probably use the golden key as soon as I reach Sanctuary, I hate the shitty guns you have in the beggining hahaha

Okay.

Must. Not. Pre-order.

So GAF I'm all hype right now

Spoiler

and feeling a bit light headed

so I ask what gun manufacturers are you looking forward to most in this game?

For me it's Torgue and Tediore. They're opposite ends of the scale when it comes to how refined they look and I love it. Torgue guns look like your wielding a fucking lethal engine block and Tediore guns bring out the sucker for carbon fiber within me.

 

[Unicorn]

Anthony Burch is so awesome. Great talent there.

Yes. He was the only reason and joy to visit Destructoid. I was heartbroken when he left, but quickly realized he would most certainly become the writer of BL2 and knew my love for him would just grow.

I'm so excited. Even if the story is lackluster, having a game penned by one of the most interesting people in games writing/journalism will be a personal memento.

I want a real-life poster of this so bad, even if it has a new gun design for BL2

Give me some of that good ol Russian shit with Vladof or Dahl for precision and control. Plus always do love my burst fire.

 

[Salsa]

none of my near buddies bought it

pre-order + season pass already bought, guess im flying solo, latency kills me with people from other countries

im bummed

 

[HP_Wuvcraft]

I love me some Jakobs, but am interested in Bandit.

 

[Haliela]

What do you all think of this build?

http://talent.87bazillion.com/2/gunzerker.php?000000000000505510515155005101000

Went for max gunzerking time + decent survivability. Look good?

Is Dahl still around?


Dahl.

 

[Ken]

Welp, bought the game after a Steam support person told me to just use the US link to Steam to buy the game for the 18th release date.

 

[MrTroubleMaker]

I'm going to miss S&S, poor guy's the bandits took them over/out of business Maybe Maliwan again.

WUUAAAAT D:

I hope it works. > >

I'm getting the European release date even though I'm in a US territory.

 

[Dead Prince]

thats why you got no BL2 buddies to play with.

Maliwan for me if they're like BL1. 4x elemental effects are great, especially when they stack. I still remember the first gun that made me go "HOLY SHIT!" was when I found my first Volcano. Bandits that took me a while to kill with other similarly leveled weapons just died in 1 or 2 shots anywhere on their body. Then there's the death effects, huge fan of the acid melting.

There really isn't a bad way to spec Salvador. All the his initial skills bring a ton to the table. Even his team spec (brawn) is pretty good solo with the right powers.

My only suggestion is to put at least 1-2 points into 5 shots or 6 or Inconceivable since it cuts down the time you have to scavenge for ammo and those annoying moments you run out in the middle of battle.

I edited my take on it above. Damn it, won't let me save...

 

[iNvid02]

im vpning that shit on 18th because fuck differing release dates for digital releases

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Well, I'm in for some co-op whenever you want. Mates de por medio y todo...

 

[Gotchaye]

Looks like the IGN review goes up in 40 minutes. Should we expect a flood of new info in less than an hour?

Edit: It looks like I'm also without a real-life co-op group for at least the first month. But I'm an American, so hopefully I can find some people around here for that first marathon session.

 

[Baconsammy]

Firefly? Ok, I like this guy.

And his sister is Tiny Tina. Mmmmmm.

I think the embargo lifts for all sites at that time actually. So yeah, should be getting a ton of info.

 

[XeroSauce]

Vladof, Jakobs are my favorite for aesthetic.

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

For a second there I thought you were talking about having some good ol Russian brew for precision and control in this game.

 

[Salsa]

ohhh we could do this. I think there's some more rio de la plata gaffers round here

 

[Raxus]

Vladof, Jakobs are my favorite for aesthetic.

I love the new animation for Jakob revolvers, I love Tediore's gimmick but it will probably get old fast if it wastes too much ammo. Will check back on it when my class is more stable ammo wise. Maliwan being Maliwan (godly). Dahl and Hyperion all sound great for gunzerkers. Bandits are nice beginner weapons but will probably be useless late game. Just like poor S&S last game.

Edit: It looks like I'm also without a real-life co-op group for at least the first month. But I'm an American, so hopefully I can find some people around here for that first marathon session.

At the top of the OP is the Steam, XBL, and PSN tag list. Go ahead and sign up/join the steam group to find GAF players!

I need a group for the Steam version too.

 

[Santiako]

In Borderlands 1, Maliwan was my favourite by far. I loved spreading corrosion or explosions everywhere.

 

[Kaldea]

I'm all for Maliwan too. Can't beat that elemental damage.

Love Zooming in on images with the PS3 browser..also love the midget versions of some enemies!

 

[Woo-Fu]

Combustion Hellfire and Pestilential Defiler, what's not to love?

 

[BearPawB]

What are peoples opinions on kill skills? I have been speccing to avoid them. I really only want abilities that have a lot of up time....But i can envision some scenarios in which they are useful

 

[MagicWithEarvin]

I'm all for Maliwan too. Can't beat that elemental damage.

I just wanna blow stuff up

 

[Edgeward]

Hellfire was THE weapon. So damn good.

 

[Dizzy-4U]

Sure, I know a few around here but I don't think they bought it.

Anyways, I just noticed that it's unlocking for me on thursday. What the hell? I'm super mad...I hope the vpn trick works.

Thanks for the fix. Going to use your version!

 

[ChosenPredator]

gonna play this game solo first for some reason no matter what, playing with friends or randoms people have a fetish to rush through any story thing

 

[hxcmuziq]

If Sony would allow a preload and an unlock at midnight on the 18th how many PS3 users would use this?

I'd love to see a full thread on this discussion. I'd love to know how many Gaffers are 100% for Day 1 DD on consoles.

What would it take you to jump on the DD bandwagon? 10% price cut? Free DLC? What if Digital was pushed the Friday before? Would you pay full retail to get a DD game 3 days early?

I hope we get some numbers how many digital copies are bought day 1.

 

[Haliela]

Now for my Soldier.

http://talent.87bazillion.com/2/commando.php?00000000005050515015105050150100

That nuke looks mighty tempting so I went with the middle tree while subbing in some support. Wanted that shield turret and sticky turret along with the shield regen and capacity.

I would buy a digital release for $40 max day and date.

It'd be interesting to get numbers but they don't seem like they're going to budge.
