I'm the exact opposite, Scooter is probably my least favorite thing about the game. I can't stand his voice, it's so irritating that it makes me cringe whenever I hear it. I'd like to take one of his stupid buggies and run his annoying ass over with it.

I just had a very odd but beneficial bug the last time I played. I was playing as Brick, and suddenly I was able to walk on foot as fast as a vehicle, while running was the same speed as boosting! I don't know how the heck it happened, but I was playing with a friend, and I was running so fast I was out of his sight in like seconds. Then I switched into rage mode and couldn't get it back.

If I could figure out how to kick off this glitch at will I'd be a very happy berserker.

Quick question: I just fought my way across Sledge's compound and I'm at the boss battle with him. Naturally, I keep dying and respawning right outside the door of his chamber where the vending machines are. If I exit here and turn off my PS3, next time will I pick up right outside Sledge's chamber again, or will I have to fight my way across his entire compound from the beginning?

I am almost positive you will start back at the beginning of the compound. But that will give you a chance to level up along the way and have an easier time with Sledge.

So I've been playing around a few sessions with AA, purple 2D outlines be damned. This is 2x2 Supersampling. My framerates are a little less consistent than I'd like to play like this regularly (definitely sub-30 fps occasionally) when there are a lot of polygons onscreen. But it looks pretty damn nice in my opinion..

I downloaded the DLC addon for this game, but am totally clueless how to play it.

My gf and I have already finished the game once and am on our 2nd playthrough now. I can't see any option to play the new level - can someone help me out please?

Whoever was shooting the Rakk Hive was a good 5 levels higher than it. They were very overleveled for that encounter. At endgame, where everyone is between level 49-50 and all bosses are level 51, hitting for that much damage will never happen unless its a critical - and even then, against him, the last 25-30% of health can't even be touched through criticals. Even a level 50 plaguebearer with full venom, full hit & run, full phase strike + level 6 corrosive return only hit for about 1500 or so.

Bueller?

I hope this isn't reliant on being connected to XboxLive, because my wired net connection in this apartment is not very reliable and it's been offline most of the day..

Don't have a wireless adaptor - they are too expensive.

Fast travel to it at a New-U station. Should be one of the options.

I beat this a few hours ago. I started out playing Coop but went solo somewhere around the Crazy Earl quest. It felt very strange at first, but after awhile, I became used to it. I played as The Siren and focused most of my attention on the controller and the assassin tree.

I enjoyed the overall experience quite a bit....but that ending was straight garbage. Honestly, it was about as bad as Bioshocks ending. I was expecting something for my troubles...I honestly don't even really know what the hell happened. I feel like there is something I am missing.
Was the monster the only thing hiding in the Vault? What was the point of all that? Were the gaurdians simply trying to protect Pandora from being destroyed by that monster? Who the hell was the girl that guided you throughout the game? She said she would be watching, but since the vault won't open for another 200 years, what's the point?

Also, I think that I ended up messing up the balance or something. See, around the time I got to Old Haven, I was still in the position where at least some of the quest were "normal" and the enemies were my level. But when I got to Old Haven, that damn smoke quest glitch fucked me up, and I ended up leveling up like 2 or 3 times in that area (It took me forever to figure out to just follow the smoke and to stop looking for the switch around the arrow). I kept killing the enemies as they kept respawning, and here I am running around trying to look for new ways to jump on buildings. After that, the game never caught up to my level. I ended up beating it with level 37, when I feel that I probably should have been level 33-34 (Based on the difficulty and the level of the other enemies).

Is the second playthrough a New Game Plus or is it something different? How do I restart the main quest with the same character?

about the ending

http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Vault
In the Borderlands official guide, it is revealed that the Eridians sacrificed their entire civilization to imprison the Destroyer inside the Vault. The Guardians were created to protect the Vault and prevent anyone from opening it. If it was ever freed, the Destroyer would have eventually consumed the universe. After the player destroys the Destroyer, the Vault reseals itself and cannot be opened by the Key again for 200 years. The Guardian Angel reveals that in its home realm, the destroyer is indestructible, however it requires a host body to survive in this one.

Beat every mission in the Dr. Ned DLC, even the Braaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaains one. I'm level 49 and just got to New Haven on Playthrough 2. Has Gearbox announced anymore DLC, or any talks about increasing the level cap?

Oh, and there is a known bug with the Jakobs vending machine in Jakob's Cove. Gearbox is working on a patch to fix that.

Completed the game last night with my friend.

All in all, it was great fun. Actually, so good that we started the playthrough 2 right away.

Although, we both agreed that the ending was a huge letdown, but these type of games are mostly played for the loot anyway.

Just stumbled upon this

Take-Two’s Borderlands has been the year’s best-selling original IP, so it’s hardly surprising that the publisher is already talking about a sequel.

At yesterday’s earnings call, company chairman Strauss Zelnick said that Borderlands was “showing every sign of becoming an important, long-term franchise”. With developer Gearbox’s Mike Neumann having referred to Borderlands 2 as a “no-brainer” last month, it looks like a sequel is inevitable. Gearbox even has a proper working title to run with, having just trademarked the word “Borderworlds” in the US.

We’re already making a mental list of what we’d like to see in a sequel: extra skill specialisations; more vehicles; an increased variety of terrain; maybe some level of character customisation; and definitely a wider choice of online modes.

Interestingly, a report on Develop notes that Gearbox is calling for staff from axed studio Pandemic to apply for jobs with the Texan company. Whether that’s indicative of ramping up the Borderlands team size we can’t say, but as Borderlands was one of our favourite titles of 2009 a sequel can’t come soon enough.

So, just saw another trailer for avatar...

Could we just, in the future, institute a limit of one original IP with an alien planet named Pandora per year?

Well on the PSN it says that DR Neds is the first of many DLC's so im sure there will be a few more to go, I hope there is something that will actually be useful to level 50 players tho.

"Borderworlds" surely sounds more like an MMO than just a sequel. If true then I doubt it will be released until next-gen either.
Click to expand...
Or it could just refer to the fact that the player jumps between different planets, whereas Borderlands was set on just one planet.

Would help a lot with location variety.

Same. In a perfect world Gearbox would release DLC packs as needed to keep the game fresh and to keep end-game players engaged. It could also be used as an opportunity to set up the initial strands of whatever story is to come in the sequel.

Level 26 and I love it.

Support gunner mod for my soldier and I never have to buy ammo again :)

Found an Eridian weapon on top one of the houses on New Haven, shoot balls of energy but they move kinda slow but they lock onto enemies I think. keeping it for now since idk if its rare and I can only get 1,000 for it.

I have a 5 Eridian guns, 2 Cannons, 1 Lightning, 2 Blasters. They pretty much all sucked at the beginning but once you start getting your proficiency up it starts getting better.

So I farmed the New Haven chests for about 45 minutes earlier, got a cool $2,000,000 out of it. Spent a shit load on the top rank ammo capacity.

level 30 and I feel like I picked the wrong class(Soldier) for my first/easy playthrough.

Using Shotguns and Assault Rifles/LMG's and my best one right now is an LMG with 109 damage, 80 some accuracy and I'm finding revolvers and sniper rifles in the 200+ range. I have a Combat rifle with shocking that I've using(for a while) but haven't found a great replacement yet.

Tried going full infantry on the skill tree but the guided missle thing for the scorpio is garbage imho.

$1m achievement is glitched right? I have $9,999,999 and no achievement xD Means I have to play through the game again to get that sort of cash. Would be alright if I could cheat my way to level 20 just by co-op'ing my new character with my lvl 48 (so close >_<), but I'm sure I can't.

I really enjoy this game. The gunplay is excellent, and that's a great foundation for the inevitable sequel given the numbers this did as a new franchise, and how the story was left. A bit more depth and some cut-scenes please would go a long way for this game, but it's great that the groundwork has been successful.

I have a revolver that's about 93% accurate and does 200 damage with a caustic rating of 4. Along with my +52% caustic damage, and 5 caustic elemental artefacts... let's just say it gets the job done :p

(Siren btw)

Cut-scenes for what? More boss intros? The plot in the game pretty much ends when you get off the bus.
