Borderlands 2 Vita |OT| 870 gajillion guns in your pockets
- Thread starter ZeroAKA

I wish they would have asked me before using my post. Out of context from the rest of my posts, you would think I don't adore the game.
I wanted to buy this so bad, but I'm kind of Borderlands'ed out, honestly. Part of me feels like sales won't be so great on the Vita, and we'll be seeing Borderlands 2 Vita on Plus's IGC in the next year or so.
My poor Vita hasn't gotten love in a while, and I really want to play something on it. Maybe if I feel spontaneous, I might just grab this. Might.

So you're saying if I buy a cart, I have to download 2gb+ worth of garbage?

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
You don't have to download the dlc unless you want to. Only DLC I have downloaded is gaige, kreig, and uvh dlc which are all 100kb unlocks.
Yeah, the patch was 287 MB, so with the cart you can keep the size fairly small if you don't install the Captain Scarlett and Campaign of Carnage DLCs.

x is to boost but the driving is basically the exact same as halo warthog basically.
Left Stick Drive Forward/Reverse
Right Stick Look around/steer
thanks. for a moment, i thought there were issues with my Vita OLED
hmm. the more I play it, the more I feel this game is just better played with KB/M
I didn't feel this way with KZ:M as we were fighting in mostly enclosed/limited areas... BL2 is so huge/big that the controls don't integrate well with it
The controls integrate fine, but I feel like the framerate is too low to effectively use the controls at their default setting.
Lowering the sensitivity from the default of 6 down to 4 made it a MUCH better experience as there weren't frames being skipped as I aimed. Yeah it meant I turned a bit slower, but it results in greater accuracy since shit isn't slide-showing past my screen as I turn.
Not sure why they made the default sensitivity a 6.
thanks I'll give it a try and see if it gets better for me
Pandora is a large world - and just exploring the place on the Vita feels slow... - I mean if I were to play this while commuting, I would probably won't get to clear any firefights by the time I get to my destination (or any quests)
at least with KZ:M - I get to clear specific sectors/areas before I move on.
the game is still awesome though - don't get me wrong!

I really hope the DLC is cross buy. I never got around to playing any of the DLC on PS3.

Question for owners out there: can the sticks be changed to "legacy" control?
Sorry, claptrap is SHIT and you are being tricked into liking him. REPENT sinner
hmm I am just redeeming whatever I feel like with those tokens... :X is there a way to reset?
Seriously? To me it feels like they improved gun accuracy and enlarged crit hitboxes. In general I score criticals much more often and shoot more accurately in comparison to the home console version.

I'll probably start this up today. I'm a little concerned with the reports of crashing and game breaking bugs...Has there been any word from the devs on if they intend to fix the issues soon?
Also, any tips on playing Gaige? I played Maya on PC, looking to try something different.

You can only pick from the random choices for each rank, so don't sweat it. If you really want to boost your stats, you should play multiple characters. Bad ass rank carries over.
I'm having good luck with a revolver right now, but my assault rifle is all over the place.
I'm at Liars Berg, super early in the game.
EDIT: Actually, never mind. I think I just needed to get used to the controls.
gaige is all about breaking normal gameplay. Her anarchy makes her accuracy crap. But with 5 perks in close enough, you'll be doing full damage at 200 anarchy even if you miss every shot. Gaige also has a perk called dischord that negates her accuracy loss and heals you.
Gaige is best suited to shotguns and torque pistols.
she's the worst sniper if you go anarchy.

I am if it's the right price!
I feel like there are some polarizing reviews for this game. I'm a huge Borderlands fan so I hope this will whet my appetite.
Alright, I'm jealous of you people playing. Why must they punish current Vita owners by making us wait *pout*.
I even tried to see if I could sneak in buying one before the release date (I've heard of it happening) and managed to find it at Target on the shelves but their computer system foiled me.

So Iron Galaxy favorited my tweet on my alt twitter about patching Vita framerate and crashes...WHAT DOES THIS MEAN
There was a bunch of ppl selling here on gaf for 20-30 unless you wanted physical then I understand your pain.

I think I already need to upgrade memory sticks from the 8gb. How do I transfer my saves if I do upgrade?
Never heard of the site before, but here's what might be the first review for BL2 Vita:
It's going to be hilarious/depressing to see a genuinely terrible port like the GoW Collection getting better reviews than this does.
I had to backup using content manager and then restore it to my new card.
You can back up everything on your Vita to a PC or PS3 using the content manager app, then restore your backup on the larger memory card when you get one.

I want physical and i want to support them doing this more often (porting over popular games) so I want to actually buy the game new so they get better sales figures. I know it's probably a lost cause, but I'd still like to vote with my money anyways cause I appreciate they did go out of their way to get it made for us.

Borderlands 2 Vita |OT| 870 gajillion bugs in your pockets
Is it a bug fest? I heard it is and that "NeoGAF is the source". How much truth there is to it?

It's not the most polished experience in the world, but it's not at all what I would call "buggy". I've had a few crashes (more than most Vita games) and various audio bugs here and there but the end result is still far from "unplayable".
The framerate is a bigger issue for me, but the game overall runs better than MGS3D, which I sank almost 100 hours into before getting MGS3 HD on Vita.

I don't think it's been made entirely clear yet to be honest
The DLC is a code in the game box, so they need to be downloaded separately. The total size after all DLC and the patch are installed is 2070 MB. Each DLC is a separate file though, so if you want to save space, you could skip installing the two big ones for a while (Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty is 789 MB and Mr. Torque's Campaign of Carnage is 942 MB), since the other 4 DLCs are all 100 KB unlock files. If you did that, you'd need less than 350 MB for the patch, saves, etc.
Thanks! Just what I was looking for and I appreciate the breakdown of the file sizes, very useful to know to see what I can save space on.

I'm somewhat tempted to get this game... I liked the first one, but I played it on PC and I couldn't stand playing the second one when I got it for free on PS+... but I'm somehow a lot more forgiving on my portable ports. (I haaaate low frame rates, but I'm enjoying Totori on the Vita even though it regularly slows down and drops into the 15fps range... Oddly didn't like Totori at all on PS3... it's really weird that portables have that effect on me)

Just had my first complete game freeze...Right at the beginning, too. Had to buy a shield for Hammerlock and it froze as soon as I bought it and left the machine. Awesome.
