Title: Tiny Tina is terrible.
Post by: archie4208 on July 07, 2013, 09:25:22 PM: Who wrote her character? :maf

She makes Claptrap bearable in comparison.

Post by: Eel O'Brian on July 07, 2013, 10:23:00 PM: I hated her in the main game, but find her tolerable in the DLC
Title: Re: Tiny Tina is terrible.
Post by: Human Snorenado on July 07, 2013, 10:26:20 PM: I thought she was a mixed bag in the main game- had some funny lines here and there, but the shit with the badonk-adonk rabbits was dumb as fuck. Haven't gotten around to playing her DLC yet but it looks funny.

Post by: Eel O'Brian on July 07, 2013, 10:27:52 PM: Claptrap hit my feels button a couple of times in this one :(

He's the only one left :(

No one came to his birthday party :(

So lonely :(

Post by: fistfulofmetal on July 07, 2013, 10:32:53 PM: The best joke in the game is setup and paid off by Claptrap. When he can't proceed during the first big mission to kill the captain because of stairs.
Then during the last mission with him he can't proceed because of stairs.

Title: Re: Tiny Tina is terrible.
Post by: treythemovie on July 08, 2013, 05:58:34 AM: The hate for Tiny Tina is silly because you deal with her in the main game for all of 1 mission and 1 optional mission. Despite how much Gearbox pushed her in the marketing (and later the DLC), she's really kinda there and gone.

I'm surprised that there isn't more hate for Moxxi since Gearbox pushes her onto you way more often and devote an odd amount of time trying to flesh out her backstory and characterization. Meanwhile characters from the first game (Dr. Zed, Marcus, etc) just kinda exist without any pay off or focus.

Post by: The Sceneman on July 08, 2013, 06:04:04 AM: The majority of the writing and characterization in BL 1 & 2 blows dick, why the surprise? Handsome Jack is pretty sweet, havent played Torgue yet
Title: Re: Tiny Tina is terrible.
Post by: The Sceneman on July 08, 2013, 06:07:49 AM: I do know that an ex Destructoid writer penned BL2, and Tiny Tina is played by his younger sister. Go figure

You deal with AIDS only once but it still kinda sucks
Title: Re: Tiny Tina is terrible.
Post by: archie4208 on July 08, 2013, 08:03:58 AM: BL2's writing is generally annoying.

"Hey remember that maymay you saw on Reddit? Here it is again! xD"

I can't stop playing though. Filling up bars and sweet, sweet lewt. :drool

spoiler (click to show/hide)
Much better than Diablo 3 too.

I think they did a much better job fleshing out the world of Pandora in BL2. It seems like they had no idea what to do with the original 4 characters so they whipped up personalities for them on the fly. But they did a much better job with the new characters, especially with the ECHO backstories.

Jack is pretty awesome though, he gives no fucks.
Title: Re: Tiny Tina is terrible.
Post by: Himu on July 08, 2013, 12:07:09 PM: BL2's world is much better. I actually give a fuck about it and it actually has characters. BL1's world is just a backdrop.
Title: Re: Tiny Tina is terrible.
Post by: Himu on July 08, 2013, 01:04:52 PM: Still better than BL1's.

Post by: Stoney Mason on July 08, 2013, 05:10:18 PM: I thought the characters and world of Borderlands 2 were fine. Tiny Tina was fine. I didn't find her crazy funny like a lot of people did but different strokes and all that.

It's been a white hipster thing to do for a long time to take outdated black slang and use it "ironically". Just watch any twitch stream.
Title: Re: Tiny Tina is terrible.
Post by: Himu on July 08, 2013, 05:17:12 PM: I thought Tiny was hilarious. I love seeing a little white girl use slang black people were using 10 years ago. it's pretty accurate to my experience as a black person.

Post by: Momo on July 08, 2013, 05:41:02 PM: african american slang means literally zero to me, I did not grow up there nor does it have relevance in my life. All I'm left with is an annoying, ebola ridden, shitstain of a character.

Post by: Trent Dole on July 08, 2013, 11:10:06 PM: Oh yeah, I should start this game soon. Right after I'm done with Arkham City which shouldn't be much longer.

Is "S my D" short for "spoon my dad"?

ebola is a local flavor, just trying to keep things relevant

It wasn't a great joke, so I'll thank you for the explanation. I also would have accepted "Sample my doughnuts."
