These I like. But there are still serious problems with the in-game menu and connecting to online games. Is it gonna take a month, two months, for me to be satisfied?Loudninja said:

That doesn't mean you can't have the option of filtering games by region and/or ping. I live in Georgia (the state) and I see games from Germany, Russia, and even Ukraine.drizzle said:
Yeah, even with ports forwarded you'd have situations where someone could join your game one day, but not the next day. Oh well. At least they patched some stuff! Steam still doesn't show update news for it though, and I had to restart Steam to even get the download to start.

Yeah so I just finished it.
wtf. Even considering how incredibly low my expectations were, that was terrible. Either I missed something or approximately nothing got resolved.

Ugh guys, I think my game got broken. Endgame semi-spoilers below.
Vitals:
I joined my regular XBL friend's online game for the last boss/Vault battle. We got the boss down to pretty low health and my connection timed out. I dropped from the game. He re-invited me and when I got back in the boss was dead and the word "Ineligible" was next to the objective in the upper right corner. We walked back to Tannis together and he completed the quest; I wasn't able to of course. I figured no big deal I'll just beat it in single player. So I quit out and started a single player game.
Here's the problem: the objective is now green and complete ("Find Steele") but the marker is still locked on the boss 'throne' area. When I go to the Vault the boss is gone. When I go to Tannis she says nothing, as though I didn't beat it. The enemies on the way to Tannis are still level 40 for me, while they were 'suped-up' 2.5 version level 50-51 for my friend when he completed it. Am I basically fucked? I've thought about trying to join someone's online game to beat/fix it, but I've been having problems connecting to other peoples games. Any 360/XBL Gaffers going to be fighting the last boss in Playthrough 2 anytime soon? My XBL name is Appletz.

PS3 is fine, I've played it extensively without any problems. Still worth getting, of course. It didn't sell very well, at least compared to the 360 version, but there's still enough people playing that you won't have any problems finding a game with people at your level. I'm at level 34 so if you manage to get that far shoot me a request for someone to play with.
Ok I made level 25 last night and this game has grown on me. This is essentially the FPS version of Phantasy Star Online. When I approach it that way I have a lot more fun with it. Nothing more awesome than having a favorite weapon that is randomly generated and customized in a gaming world. The balance feels just right. Not once have I felt the need to grind or felt just overwhelmed by overpowered enemies except maybe the first time I ran into an adult skag at level 2. Great job Gearbox and one suggestion on a sequel. Next time use a more interactive game engine. Otherwise great rebound after BiA which honestly wasn't that bad either.
Speaking of loose ends I thought they left a lot of things up for speculation (in a very good way) in terms of leaving the players wondering what hand all the varying gun companies had in the state that Pandora is in and perhaps will be in in the future.Hawkian said:
unrelated to that thought I'd like to gripe about the guns a bit.
Jakobs were the old style guns and felt and looked pretty unique, along with the alien weapons of course, but the rest sort of blended together in my mind for the longest time.
Slight details are different and nuances can be found, but by and large the guns felt a little too similar to one another, aesthetically speaking that is. Rocket Launchers in particular are the biggest culprit.
Perhaps if they had a different artist design each company's line of parts we could've seen more varied designs. I know we're dealing with Human characters and all, but I think some of the guns would've been amazing had they wandered off the path towards a more fantastic appearance. All the guns had a nice grounded design, and that's a strong foundation, but perhaps they sacrificed something by clutching so strongly to real life counterparts.
Instead of having the guns cut into shotgun, handgun, smg, and so forth, they could've just stuck with the ammo types to differentiate. Shells are used by a certain gun composed of certain parts combined together.... So in theory we could have something that looks similar to a small SMG-esque looking gun, with that nice rapid fire, but it's got a shotgun spread to the bullets.
The zig-zag and spiral bullets were interesting, but either there wasn't enough stuff like that or it was ungodly in how impractical it was.
Anyone get what I'm trying to say?

All right, I'm shelving this game for a while, and have tons of orange weapons to give away, lots of SMG's and sniper rifles atm, but also a few pistols and shotties and stuff.
PM me here, or send me a message on XBL and you can have as many as you want, first come first overflowing bags with orange guns.
