Never played as Krieg before. What skill tree should I go for?

Been mixing mine up with Mania and Hellborn. It's rough going at first, and you'll die a lot, but once you get the Flame of the Firehawk shield you can pretty much just run right in the middle of whole groups of enemies and burn them to death in seconds. I've been taking out Badass Psychos without even touching them.

North American player here. I have a few recommendations that I've found made Borderlands 2 work better for me on the Vita.
-Change melee and weapon swap buttons to weapon swap on the back touchpad and melee on circle button use the d pad to switch weapons and forget the touchpad.
-If you're playing alone put the Vita in flight mode it saves battery and possibly improves framerate (it could be placebo).
-Download all the patches there are 3 now.

I have melee on triangle and sprint on circle. I do not use change weapon or crouch so off they go on rear touch pad. Works great.

That's a good one too.

You have probably totally saved this game for me. I love borderlands but the Vita version is driving me insane with the POV and back panel bullshit. I am having the hardest times aiming and keeping enemies in my sight. Combined w/ the small text and its making a game I literally love to play a chore. Cant wait to play this tonight.
Thanks

Great to know this stuff is at least being worked on. Having an absolute blast with the game myself - around 30 hours in so far! This game was my introduction to the BL series and I can say I'm officially hooked. I'm pretty excited for the pre sequel but I wish we could get word of something for this gen even if it is just a port of the pre sequel.
Sidebar: What do you guys think the chances of seeing the pre sequel on Vita or current gen consoles is?
Also, good to see you again LoudNinja (dem PSAS days)

The text is so small, it's really hurting my eyes,

It's funny, I never would have thought this was an issue on my own. I'm kinda surprised every time I read about the small text issue but so many people say it that it must be troublesome. Thank you, young buck eyes
The weird thing for me is at first it was hard for me too, now I'm so used to it I don't even notice.

are people still playing this on PC?
All I see is Vita and console talk in here.

Oh this is the Vita OT, you should be able to find the OT for the other consoles floating around in community somewhere

It's both for me. Im still amazed that they got all of borderlands 2 running on the vita, more so that its running on Unreal Engine which I believe has not mixed well with the vita hardware. Also the fact that gyro aiming means getting headshots easier now.
Someone needs to find out if Airplane mode actually helps. Oh and Im guessing Im one of the few who actually stick with default controls. They're not that bad if you're used to games that have back touch implementation.

The problem is the best way to test would be to have the footage directly captured, but most people don't have a Vita dev unit with which they could do so.
Otherwise, it's going to require a fairly high speed camera and some mounts and then a frame by frame analysis.

How do you sprint?
Seriously, does anyone have an answer to this? Anyway to sprint? I hate the leisurely pace.
Thanks.

Arghhh no idea whether they plan to release the rest of the DLC, but the trophies are still included so I can never 100% it aaaaaargh.

I'm confused by the people asking how to sprint... just look at the button layout? I personally mapped sprint to the O button.
IdreamofHIME

Well the guy said he had a great button setup to avoid using the touchpad, but never said what he did with sprint.
Swapping sprint and crouch would make sense.
It's not intuitive, but good call thanks for the help.

I'm not sure if this includes bundled though. Is 42k good for a Vita game?

Well it almost beat Spiderman 2 PS4.
Looks like chartz numbers to me. So...not reliable.

So if you guys are putting run on the circle button, does that mean you're playing with the "claw" or just taking your finger of the right stick?
Great news. Guess I'll hold off a bit before buying it then.

yeah, years of Bethesda games and overloading create mode in LBP have made me hardly care when i sometimes freeze in BL2 on Vita... i hardly lose anything if i've checkpointed recently, and it's actually pretty rare when solo for me
shit, when i got my new laptop i put a few hundred hours into both Fallout 3 and New Vegas again and most of it was spent crashing and restarting my game after corrupting stuff with too many mods... still had fun, and this isn't even close to that impossible to complete tease i backed myself into
Heh, maybe that's why I wonder why people keep acting like it runs like crap. It runs great in my opinion. Of course the games i put the most hours in recently are both Fallouts and Skyrim (all on the PS3, the worst platform for it) so maybe my point of reference is just skewed
.Then again, I think people are super picky. Was just reading on that tweet some one just linked a guy claiming the framerate was so bad he was getting motion sick... He must not be able to play a lot of games if that makes him motion sick.

You dont need a headset. The Vita has an internal mic similar to a cell phone.
Just plug a set of earphones into the jack and enjoy.

I don't know. When it comes to Vita games they have a higher percentage of sales that are digital, so who knows.

Just taking it off the right stick. It's not too big of an annoyance at all because you only have to tap the button to make your character run. I personally love my set up with sprint on O and melee on Triangle. I've logged about 34 hours in the game and honestly forgot it was supposed to have "bad controls" since I have been using this layout.
Really glad I didn't let reviews lead me astray on this one. Now I'm absolutely stoked for future Borderlands titles.
I'm using iPhone headphones, but when plugged in, my voice can't be heard. They earphones have a mic piece, so it could be interfering.

Having a few problems with sound and stutter in large areas like Sanctuary, but I'm surprised by how good it actually looks. Really impressive experience, that doesn't deserve a 55 by any bizarre stretch of the imagination.
Arrived at the Sanctuary and so far the game plays well most of the time and I am really impressed by the port. It looks good on the Vita and I don't have any serious problems with the controls, which I tweaked a little bit. The gyro makes the sniper imba
Only the first real boss fight against
had serious performance issues which made it somehow difficult with all the things happening around.
This is my first Bordlerlands experience and I can understand why it got so popular.

Yeah, the humour is consistently like that throughout. It's possibly my favorite 360 game, definitely the game I played most last gen, and I'm loving going through it again on Vita!
