Well.... I thought I would never say this.... but I am starting to get bored with the game.

It seems I have already found all of the best weapons for any class..... done all the missions for both play throughs..... already earned 1,000 gamer points. (did that shortly after release).

I guess I will just be waiting for Dragon Age to drop now.

Also can't wait for the new DLC for this game and Borderlands 2.

It was an awesome game while it had my attention... hell some days I played for 10+ hours at a time.... it's just now I get bored really quick as everything I find is now shit.

With that kind of playtime, I can see you being bored with the game now. Unfortunately they did not focus a lot on the lvl 50 game. Hopefully for Borderlands 2, they will plan ahead and design good end game runs and put in some special lvl 50 loot. Maybe they will patch the game and add more end game content with the upcoming dlc. The last few areas in the game are perfect for Boss runs, but for whatever reason they went in another direction.

sorry if this is stupid, but am I able to put all points in the talent tree?? I haven't played diablo in years, but basically once I hit 50, I can keep going right? Ill keep getting talent points? or once you hit 50 it stops?

You must be contagious. I too got the *cough* the very next day. Been a long while since I’ve played sick from work. I always joke about it but it never happens. Borderlands is evil. I did get to beat the first run thru so I guess the sick day was worth it.

I truely hope that they make alot of DLC AND the make it HARD.

You can put points into any tree you want. You get points on level up. The level cap is at lvl 50, so once you hit the cap, no more points.

This game is begging for DLC. New missions, areas, maybe even manufacturers and weapon types. And for the love of god give us some built in ability to transfer items between characters - people are already going through the hassle of split-screening to do it, so it might as well be built in.

Save brand new game mechanics and overhauls for the sequel, but if Gearbox wants to see this gravy train last I hope they're shifting into DLC production mode.

Future patch or Borderlands 2 wishlist


In game minimap

Multiple quest tracking for same zone

More levels and more talents

More loot drop because there's enough loot so drop more loot and less crap white items

Misc AI fixes (aka bloodwing getting stuck or not attacking multiple times on a single target)

Better more dynamic grenade mods

Adjustable FOV

Customizable weapons/classmods/shields via mod part drops

Loot tables of special items specifically for multiplayer mode on respawnable bosses/rare mobs

TOTAL character customization for all classes including gender, hair, skin color, preset heights/weight accessories

Better vehicle driveability (no sudden stops by hitting a corner of something + better weapon accuracy)

Higher backpack capacity and BANK

Trade system/Loot system option for online coop

Bubble text chat or windowed party chat availability for people with the chatpad

Much different environments and less day/night cycle switching




That's what I can think of off the top of my head atm.

Has anyone figured out once and for all if you can use a mod to get skills past 5? [for example if put 5 points into deploy, plus have a mod that adds another 2 points would that technically be 7? or would I be wasting 2 points on the mod because the max is 5?] I Keep reading conflicting info on the forums...

Maybe they could also add a PSO style hub system, so players can meet up and form teams before heading out on the adventure.

They really need to add some form of Storage as well.

Good list, I definately agree with either a mini map or at least single button access to it, I'm always like 4 screens away.

I would actually add the option for loot rolls and lvl parity when grouping, so many lvl 1's just run in and steal all the drops.

I would think that would happen with any game if you already beat it multiple times within a week after it came out. :/

Moderation, my friend, play in moderation for maximum satisfaction. :D

I'm going back and forth between Demon's Souls, Borderlands, and Uncharted 2, so things stay real fresh for me since all 3 are really different and unique games.

I'm not regreting the buy, enjoying it alot actually :eek:.
I'm just not so happy with bad optimizing, especially when it's a bad PS3 port. There's no reason one console version should be running worse than the other, when plenty of developers have done great ports for both consoles.
That coupled with all the bugs, some gamebreaking isn't making gearbox look the finest atm in my eyes. But yes the gameplay itself is more than worth it and I applaud them for that.

And as for UE3 games, I just finnished my GOTY some days ago, Batman: AA, had no issues with it at all. Ran and played great, except for some minor pop-up textures (nothing as bad as this game though).

The comment wasn't made as a rant, just slight dissapointment since I hadn't seen the other versions before that clip :v.

Minor quibble: If there are more guns than the population of the netherlands then why have I already found the same SMG like 5 times by the time I hit level 13? Blade Ripper I think it's called (I know it's something Ripper).

Still need to find one more.

You're almost there.

Isn't that a Boss weapon? Those don't count.

Edit: Looked it up, I was thinking of 'Bone Shredder' from Bonehead.

Sometimes a gun will have the same name but have variable stats.

As Vlad pointed out - the A.I uses various gun parts, and art assets to generate weapons with randomly generated stat values. The base brand and type of gun speciality is one common element - it's through that common element you'll get "shared" names such as Ripper. However, it'll have something before it - like QDD4 Ripper, or XTOD Ripper - obviously, the A.I is randomly generating the 4 numbers before it, while the developers have kept the core design of the gun as the "Ripper" type under "so and so" brand (i.e, Dahl, Tediore etc.)

We should get a loot sharing and trading thread going.

Cuz I've got two pretty decent pistols that I would love to trade for an SMG or combat rifle is anyone's interested.

That's kind of disappointing. I'm Hunter, speccing in the Bloodwing tree, so that eventually I can summon him more often/he'll kill more dudes. Only level 20 and it feels like I've done everything there is to do with him already.

Can anyone point me to some good impressions of the 360 version? Any major issues / caveats?

I'm fixing to pull the trigger on this on Amazon, but I'm still a little unsure...The only way I'll get to play with friends is on the Xbox, but it also might be a little while before my chief allies get it, so how entertaining is the solo game?

well they've got 20-30 lvl requirements. of course they're only good for the first play through. lol.

Also, the shotgun on the far right is pretty fucking sweet. do want.

You played the game for the story? Really? I mean its just with the purpose to get from point a to b really. Come on, at least say you had a kick ass time getting from one end to the other. :D

I'm talking about an exact copy; like it's a unique that I keep getting over and over. Blue text name.

How do the boss drops work? Are they always the same? Maybe it is a boss weapon that I'm getting from other enemies for some glitchy reason.

Yeah, the game was pretty ok overall, better than expected. But the last few bits hardly could have been any less underwhelming.
Oh well, was fun while it lasted.

Server list stopped freezing?

EDIT: I say it'll still be like Diablo. You dont just stop playing a game like this once you beat the last boss. Do some sidequests you missed or help others. Loot runs and whatnot. Go through twice.
