Man, I wish the game had me hooked like that. I've got a little over fifty hours into it and that's spread around on various characters. None of them are doing anything for me.

I'd probably be enjoying Borderlands 2 a lot more if Gearbox didn't limit the base game to just 27 inventory slots in what I assume is a misguided attempt to make the DLC expansions appear that little bit more attractive.
How is the framerate when on the map screen in BroHood? I ask because in AC2, and much like the PS3 version, it's about 10fps, and I can't remember if the PS3 version of BroHood fixed this.

I just played it 3 hours and thats it. T2 hooked me more then B2. B2 is a good game but T2 is better in my opinion.

Have you tried re-spec-ing any of the characters? I find all of them pretty fun to be honest although I've spent the least amount of time using Axton and Zero. My Salvador is level 34 running a hybrid of Brawn (for health buffs and damage debuffs) and Rampage (for all of the Gunzerking abilities) and all of Maya's skillpoints are invested in the Motion tree (minus Thought Lock so far). Salvador's fun to run around as and just wreck shit Gunzerking for as long and as frequently as possible. Maya can control the flow of almost any encounter and can dominate in most standard mobs, although she falls short on the larger bosses. Phaselock, hoover a bunch of enemies into one space, throw an AoE grenade and watch all of those numbers spam your screen and just keep climbing.
I don't really understand this complaint. I mean I keep two to three extra element weapons for use in my inventory and the rest is just kruft for selling. Money is so easy to come by that I stopped hoovering every bit of loot that drops in the field and dungeons. If it's a white or even green drop, I don't even pay it any mind. Also the vendor stations are liberally spaced through a level so it's usually pretty easy to offload whatever crap you've found and won't use.
The only thing that bugs me is I wish the cross character bank was larger. Kind of have to juggle between that and the Crimson Raider safe per character.
Does this affect Brotherhood only? Or is AC2 & Revelations in the same boat with the Steam Overlay frame loss.
I just discovered the map screen doesn't kill the framerate in AC2, so the sluggishness is the result of something else. Maybe it's a design decision.
But I like to collect everything and sell it off later.
Borderlands 2 presents itself as a lootwhore game but severely restricts the inventory of the player, far more than the original (27 total slots versus a total of 42 in Playthrough 1 and a total of 57 in Playthrough 2, excluding DLC). Also, in some levels it's entirely possible for you to discover that enemies have respawned when you find yourself overburdened and are required to run back to the beginning of the level to sell off your unwanted loot. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say that the enemy respawn time seems to be about 10 IRL minutes, and while respawned enemies don't particularly bother me (more experience and more loot, after all), I nonetheless think said respawn time is a little too low.AC2 and ACR both run fine for me, however the former has an utterly broken LOD system that, for example, sees shadows switching between different detail levels and popping in/out even as you stand still. I can't speak to the PC port of Brotherhood since I haven't played it just yet.

Yeah, and I don't see anything wrong with the characters themselves it's just I haven't found them as fun as the people from the first game. Axton is too much like Roland, Salvador feels like Brick only instead of rampaging with melee he pulls out a second gun, Maya's Phaselock isn't as fun to use as Lilith's Phasewalk was, and Zer0 is my favorite of the bunch but his skill doesn't get fun until you have enough points to fully use a tree but by then the game's difficulty ramps up and melee isn't the smartest thing to do.
Gaige will be a pet class and that's something I love in RPG's so I'm hoping I get attached to her.
I'll update drivers today. I don't think verifying the cache will do anything, but I'll try it anyway. Do you think I could ask for a refund in GMG if nothing works?

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
What kind of game is Snuggle Truck anyways
If you watch the video, it's kind of Trials-esque. That said, I could never get over the graphical style to give it a shot (and that was before the whole Brony scandal).
I don't think you'll have much luck with a refund request seeing as you would have a used a code of some sort to download the Sniper Challenge.

You could find two people trading them at TF2 Outpost for likely inflated prices now, but other than that you're probably out of luck as far as a Steam copy is concerned. :\
Yeah, I was afraid of that. Fuck, now I won't get to play it, nor Nights HD.

You could still explain your situation and ask for a refund. No harm in trying. I don't think your chances are that bad.

The characters take a while to get an identity when it comes to their abilities. Everyone is the same for the first five levels, and even after you start getting points, you won't really see the various classes differentiating themselves until much later. I'd say it starts to become apparent around level 15 or 20. I think Gearbox could have designed the trees somewhat differently to let players reach (or get close to) the bottom ability at the end of the first playthrough. As it stands, it takes about half of the tree to be filled up before you really start to feel the effects of your skill point distribution into that skill tree.

I think they shouldn't have waited until Lv. 5 to give you skill points, or at least should have given you 5 skill points at Lv. 5. It takes too damn long to start filling out your skill tree.
I wouldn't mind if they gave me back $30 instead of the $34 I paid for the game, like saying I bought Sniper Challenge for 4 bucks.
You'd certainly have a higher chance of success if you requested a partial refund. Couldn't hurt to try. In the meantime, you can scour Google for possible solutions. The most common cause for early crashes in the game seems to be Crossfire, although I'm not familiar with your specs so I don't know if the remedy of disabling it is applicable here.
Yup, did it, and nothing useful came up. My PC is rather outdated, an Athlon 7750 X2 (dual-core, 2.7 GHz), a single GeForce 9800 GTX+ (512 MB VRAM) and 3 GB of RAM.
I'll try updating the video drivers tonight, as you said before, and hope it'll fix the problem.

Eh, it's probably for the best that I didn't win. With the backlog of games I have now, and trying to divide my gaming time between a half dozen games currently, I'm not sure I could fit a new one in, LOL!
Thanks for the chance MMORANGE. Cool contest.
I don't know how you can play it so much. I had fun beating the game but I got to Sanctuary on new game+ and at the same time made an assassin and got to the same place and I'm burned out on the game now. I just can't keep doing the same quests and doing the same things I just did in a game.
Brotherhood does the same thing. The LoD thing is because of it being on consoles.
The issue isn't that the LOD system is aggressive, but rather that it's utterly broken.
On brotherhood, it was always a certain distance from me. Ac2 was worse. I haven't played much acr because what little I played made me furious
Revelations was actually fine, from what I remember (Edit: The LOD system, that is). Nothing egregious as seen in AC2, anyway.
Heard it was trash.

Hunted is just boring. I'm like half way through and really dreading having to finish it up.
And that's in co-op, the ultimate way to make a game more fun.
It's forgettable in every possible way: characters, graphics, story, gameplay... You name it. A waste of time, really.
You don't have to finish games you don't like, you know.
I figure there are too many games out there to force myself to play all games through to completion, for some definition of completion.But I suppose I'm weird in that I view my Steam games as a library to select from I'm in the mood to play something, rather than a backlog looming over my head.

That's exactly how I view it too and why I buy many games. I just like to have options. I'm never going to play/finish at least 50% of them and I'm fine with that.

Played Borderlands 2 for 5 hours then played Torchlight 2 for 38 hours and beat it last night. I'll get around to BL2 if I feel like it or maybe not.

Agreed, a backlog only exists in your mind.

Man, I was really missing out on Hitman: Blood Money. In a way it is everything I wanted Assassin's Creed to be.
New Daily is 75% off Universe at War ($3.75), Midweek Madness #1 is up to 50% off the Elder Scrolls franchise, and finally Midweek Madness #2 is 50% off The Secret World ($24.99).
Yeah, the problem is when you have many games started, and don't know which one to play. And then you start forgetting the stories, or where you should go, and the controls. Having so many games available is bad for my gaming health!You don't have to finish games you don't like, you know.

There are very few games I am truly in the mood to play at any given time. I waited 7 years to go back and restart Stalker after picking it up on release and getting about half way through before getting distracted. Just last week the mood was right so I started up the game and am now about 2/3s of the way done.
That won't apply to every game in my collection though. I own plenty of shit and I must pay the price for buying it just because it was cheap or because I listened to opinions on the internet. Fortunately this part of my collection grows ever smaller.
Too bad Secret World is an MMO. Otherwise I would definitely try it out.
Both codes were taken.
Dang, i really wanted Broken Sword 2 too since that will complete my BS collection. Thanks though!
