Borderlands 2 Vita |OT| 870 gajillion guns in your pockets

Codes are posted on Twitter all the time. Usually in 5 packs.
Here's a list of them: http://orcz.com/Borderlands_2:_Golden_Key#Latest_SHiFT_Codes
And as said, they throw new codes on twitter all the time.
Don't bother with reclaiming 1-key codes.
edit: I honestly didn't remember crystalisks being so annoying when I played on PC. Now they keep pounding the ground and I go flying, whiffing all my punches.
Must do it on Vita.
Now think about people redeeming them on the PS360. At least we got a touchscreen (but a row of numbers above the letters would help).
Did "Too Close for Missiles" quest last night in The Dust. I remembered it from the PC version but for some reason it struck me as particularly hilarious last night. The constant Top Gun references and the fight versus the three shirtless dudes wearing aviator shades has me giggling.
Performance seems better since the 1.03 patch but admittedly my samples size of "The Dust" and "Sanctuary" is not large enough to draw a strong conclusion.
One suggestion for folks playing this game solo like I am: Take advantage of those Golden Keys. The game is balanced for co-op and can be tedious when played solo without some really good gear. Golden Keys ensure that you will always have at least a couple of good purple items for any situation. For me, it's making the game a lot more fun.

I moved all my PS3 character to my Vita and when I started it up the next time it told me I had 71 badass point to assign. I don't remember ever have unused points.
Good advice. I eventually used a few keys and it made it much better. You could run into some real bad situations. I am glad the game is not a pushover on first play through but I was dying a ton.

Yea feel like a dolt, I did try entering the shift codes previously, but none worked, ended up registering 30 last night...
How long is this game in general, I have done pretty much every side quest.
I just
just wondering roundabout?
Thanks!

I just
rescued Roland and have the Lilith cult side quest unlocked
Thanks!
You have a looong way to go. And after beating the game, you unlock new difficulties (they work like in Diablo - enemies get stronger, you can level up further and so does the loot).
I don't remember how long it took me to complete my first playthrough on PC, but I finished the main story lvl 30+. I did all sidequests too, so that must have taken me around 20 hours I guess, maybe a few more.

I don't remember either but it definitely took me longer than 20 I think I put in close to 30hrs doing everything

Okay, so my game crashed like 3 times in the Bloodshot HQ.

Depending on how many sidequests you do, expect a single play-through to take you anywhere between 12 - 30 hours (not including the DLC) The DLC will easily add at least 5 hours give or take again depending on your focus on sidequests.

Speaking of game length, is there any way to check playtime?

Happened to me once, suddenly music stopped, and 15 seconds later the game just froze.
RAGE.
yeah i think there is a problem in the room like right before the large one with a whirlpool at the bottom in which the game crashes when you reach the save point at the end of the room unless you stand perfectly still...heard a lot of people mention it.

Yeah, this is exactly how it happens. Luckily done it now. I'm a big advocate/defender of this port, but stuff like that is annoying.
Just what happened with me once. But had no new problems since.

DF analysis is up!

Despite the criticism, I'm having a blast with this port. Nevertheless, the article will probably be outdated as soon as the patch hits.

We're aware that a patch will soon hit Vita, but there's absolutely no particular date at the moment.

So you can shit on it some more?
Yeah, without getting the cult of Vita all rustled.
I didn't watch their videos, but looks like they played until reaching Sanctuary (I might have missed something, tho). Would like to see they making tests on closed areas - sometimes things feel considerably better than 30fps.
Flint's battle was a mess, indeed, and Sanctuary is the place with the worst fps average I've seen until now (but sometimes it runs super smooth, so go figure).
I'm pretty sure that the game runs better on the highlands area than the icy areas at the beginning, but we can't deny that the areas DF did the testing are the first contact the player will have with the game, so their first impressions won't be that good.
It's still awesome and I'm really enjoying it even after 200+ hours played on PC (with pretty graphix and high fps).
The people in the comments seem impressed.

Drive by shit posting would be a terrible way to go... especially right before E3...
Not drive by. Sorry I don't like a game you like, and voiced my opinion in the OT for it.
You know, of all the battles, it seems Flint's was the worst. THere was one other area it seemed to do badly at but I can't remember where.
It also didn't like it at one point when it was throwing a ton of enemies at me and some one I was playing with (it definitely is noticeable when you are playing with some one else. Still fun in my opinion and it's amazing it can even do it but definitely even by my standards noticeable. And I loved Fallout and Skyrim on my PS3 despite their bugginess < - I played SKyrim way after they patched it to be fair).

I love this game! I love it! I can't put my Vita down!
I tweeted Gio Corsi, Adam Boyes, Playstation, Iron Galaxy, 2K, Gearbox:
"Please bring the remaining DLC content to Borderlands 2 on Vita...I'll throw $ at the screen and if that happens ^_~"
I want more! Not even close to being complete (level 13) - but I want it in its entirety - it's that good
sorry 3DS

Hrm, maybe I should tweet them that not only would I buy the Vita DLC, I'd also buy the PS3 DLC so I'd have the same game on both computers (I haven't even installed the DLC that came with cause I don't want to worry about what will transfer over and what won't between Vita and PS3, despite the fact I rarely play on the PS3).

It's position in the UK charts last week is encouraging. I wonder if it's proportionally worth their time though. I have dreams of Pre-Sequel, but I'll take what I can get!

Everyone says that Gearbox's Tiny Tina DLC is the best of the DLC, it's also missing from the Vita version. I only have BL (BL2) on Vita and it's the only place I'll play it, so I'd like the complete package.
This game is sweet!
I've totally acclimated to the hiccups in Sanctuary and really, doesn't bother me. I'm not there a lot, other than turning in an odd quest. The majority of the gameplay (looting and fighting) is stable, so that's more important to me.
I'm really enjoying being able to play the game on a portable, especially this week at work when nothing has been happening at all.
Yes there are fairly glaring performance issues, but I can forgive most of them because it's an awesome game on a freaking portable machine.
One thing I would love fixed in a patch is the performance of the menu screens, hitting select and trying to move between the inventory/map/skills is super laggy and always takes several button presses to respond for me.

Just picked this up from the BST thread. I doubt I'll buy any of the ps3 dlc anytime soon, so for me to be able to have the cross save work, that also means I can't get any of the fancy extra downloads aside from the fancy full game? Thanks in advance! First BL game also.
Ok. I'm completely and hopelessly addicted to this game.
I've never played Borderlands before and it just clicked with me. I'm about 6 hours in and I just realised that I'm paying waaay more attention to shield points and shit like that than I did a few hours ago.
Tech wise; I'm really happy with the port so far. I've had a couple of frame drop moments but they've not effected my game and *touch wood*, I haven't had a crash yet.

Well to be precise, you throw an explosive decoy of your gun when you reload. Even better.

Uggghhhh....I knew I shouldn't have bought this last night. I just knew it. Downloaded through the night, played some this mroning before work, and little bits on my break. UUUGHHHHHHHHhhhh D: Why.....WHY?!?!?!
WHY oh WHY did I buy this from the BST thread and not retail, so I could help with their sales figures!! xD I never really had an urge to play BL1, even though I got it free from PS Plus, but this game...I think it's the portability that makes it that much more appealing. Plus, to me, seeing full PS3 games scaled down like this, I see it as being very impressive, and that also makes me enjoy the game more. I am really, really enjoying the little time I have spent with it. I've enjoyed games with far more "stutter" than what I am seeing here, which so far isn't bad at all in my eyes. Plus with the stability update incoming, it will make it that much more better. That's right. More better. MOAR GOODER. It's been a while since I've played a major release on the Vita, I think Tearaway was my last back in January or so, and this is exactly what I've been looking for on the Vita. Yea true I've got a lot of indies and PSN games I've been playing. I've got other full fledged titles I could "finish up" by trophy hunting. But I'd much rather be vault hunting now.
Back to my original (terribly worded) question. I have vanilla BL2 on my PS3, with no DLC. I wouldn't mind taking advantage of the cross save, even though I am not sure I would actually take advantage of it. BUT IF I WANT TO....I should not download any of the extra downloadables for the Vita, right? AllI got initially was the BL2 base game, nothing else. Please and thanks!

Actually you're just throwing the empty (or not empty if you choose) gun away since the gun is just a replicator attached to your arm that keeps spawning new guns after you throw.
Gearbox called Tediore the Walmart of guns. So cheap you just throw them away and spawn a new one.
What if Dave somehow got his hands on an EVIL SMASHER (a quest-reward Torgue gun that actually explodes on reload) at the beginning of the game?
But he's surely talking about a Tediore.
If you create a Gaige or Krieg on Vita and don't have them on PS3, you won't be able to use them.
If you enter a DLC campaign area on the Vita you can still use your character on the PS3, but any itens exclusive to that DLC won't be usable there.
I don't know what happens if you take a character level 51+ to the PS3 without the level cap DLC.
Then again, if you don't want to use the DLCs at first, you might as well not download them and keep that memory card space.
