How do different skills that boost the same thing stack? For example, 5/5 Willing and 5/5 Pressure on Axton both give up to -60% Shield Recharge Delay. If the normal delay is 3 seconds, will maxing those skills bring it down to 3 * .4 * .4 = 0.48 seconds?
I don't read usernames or look at avatars. I've been on GAF for 5 years and still have no idea who anybody is.

It's OK, I'm leaving on vacation the day after it releases.
I'm a terrible planner, evidently.
(At the time, there was no release date!)

That's the funny part about it. It took me like 3 pages to realize that Tomm Hulett was in the Silent Hill HD collection thread.
WHAT? I was just in that thread lol.
Edit: NVM, you probably mean the official one, not the recent one about the videos.
Well get on that stat!
This is what I mean, if you started it how could you stop lol.
Wut?

He's in both.
I said it's boring; uninteresting; dull; vapid. One of the worst games I ever purchased this gen--probably the only one, tbh. I only bought it because I always chose what games me and a friend should play. Then he wanted to do Borderlands, so, I gave it a shot.
Regret.
BL2 looks much-improved and fun. We'll see if my forgiving, believer-of-second-chances nature is still worth holding onto.
Maya or Zero for me.

Probably Axton. Even though I posted "Meat Shield" on the Google Doc LOL

Maya or Zero
Zero, but playing as a Sniper.
Then on to the DLC character when she's out.

Gunzerker will be my first, but like the first game I'll end up playing them all extensively.

This game is looking amazingly good and really fun to play. I love how this sequel has a more focus on playing alone according to the reviews. The first one was fun too, but it wasn't as exciting when playing by yourself. I'd love to play it twice, once alone and the second with friends.
I know the game will have tons of replay value, but does anyone know how long the first playthrough is?

Very nice OT, looking forward to the release.
Probably Zer0 or Axton, but I haven't really looked at all the skill trees, so who knows.

Good idea
I disabled pictures on my iPhone. Sorry... it's in the op.
When the game is released I believe. They are worried the inevitable wave of bad reviews will sink the sales. Gearbox could only moneyhat Game Informer.
Just kidding I am sure they will all be super 9+ scores all around.

Bloodshed Zero with some Cunning or Cataclysm Maya with some Harmony.
Maybe Salvator but to me there's nothing definitive with any of his 3 skill trees and I'd prolly distribute his skills between all 3.
Wont play as Axton. He's a dude bro stereotype and I can play that type of character in every other FPS coming out ever.
No class in the game seems to specifically be pro-revolver. So far from looking at the skill trees Zero has some bonuses specifically to sniper rifles, Maya to any elemental weapon, and Axton to rocket launchers, grenades, and a little in assault rifles. Aside from that every class can use any weapon to near full effectiveness, with most skills that used to be +pistol and sniper damage, or +SMG damage being changed to be just +gun damage. So pick up WHA'CHU WANT and GOOD RIDDANCE!
I am super excited for this game, probably more than I have been for a game in a long time, so much so that I'm actually going to attend the Gearbox community day in Dallas on the 15th. Mass Effect 3 was the last one that came close, then that ending deflated all enthusiasm. X-Com is the only other game that approaches my hype level for Borderlands 2.

That OP is amazing. Anyway, I'm definitely picking up the GOTY/complete edition of this game.

Is the game really 58 hours long for the first playthrough like it was mentioned?
In this one: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=490076&highlight=tomm+hulett ?
I don't see him.
Anyways, can someone briefly explain how GMG works for this preorder? Do they email steam keys out or do we have to download it from them? Can we preload?
Also, I hope they give us some proper PC tweaks this time, like a simple FOV slider please?
I ended up biting just now for $36.
Still, no class is jumping out at me in the way that Lilith did for the first one. I want to take SMGs and run around mowing down monsters. Probably the Gunzerker is the best for that, but his active is incredibly uninteresting to me - he just gets damage boosts. Maya's Phaselock seems too passive. Zero is promising, but a lot depends on his melee attacks being easier to use than the ones in the first game.
Edit: Zero's also got one of the best set-ups for SMGs, it seems to me, especially with that Rising Shot ability in his middle tree. As I read it, he ramps up to +50% damage almost instantly upon opening up with a high RoF weapon.

Thanks. PC version then.
