So poor he couldn't even afford a proper 2. :'(

Probably already mentioned but if you register with that shift thing on the main menu, you get an extra golden key.

WTF is Shift? I tried google but nothing explains it.

So, am I just a real girly man gamer, or is this game pretty challenging solo? I didn't play the first a ton (think I played to level 12 or something), but I don't really remember dying in that game outside of a couple of excursions to areas that were clearly too high level. But this one? I'm dying a ton, and I'm only to the mission where you have to kill the psycho riding the bullymong.

[Howard Alan Treesong]

I was kvetching to Cruncheon - I think the balance is totally fucked up on single player. I was level 12 and doing a level 8 mission (Assassinate the Assassins) and died about a dozen times from the Pyro Nomads... Like you, I don't think I'm COMPLETELY terrible at games, but I have this feeling they just kinda threw their hands up and shrugged when asked to balance the single player game.

this doesnt explain what it  is. It's just two forms asking me to register and sign in.

re: balance

i dont think its too bad. they evened it out by letting you move during Last Stand, and it should be pretty easy to get Second Winds (since theres so many enemies), being stronger.

It doesn't do anything right now. It's supposed to eventually be like the rockstar social club thing. You just go into the menu for it in game and then register. You then confirm it via your email and it links your xbox/ps3/steam account to your shift account. When you go back in the game it says you have a new golden key. Right now it does nothing functionally in the game, except give you the golden key and register and link your account to whatever this service eventually becomes.

[demi]

Doesnt seem useful to me for now, since the key scales to your level. I want dat sticky icky loot. I will register when I beat the game.

fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck timed missions

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY shit #dead

[Great Rumbler]

A friend of mine who's already put a ton of time into B2 was talking about that gun yesterday.

[Eel O'Brian]

welp, just hit a bugged quest that i can't complete

maybe gearbox should spend a little less time thinking up shit jokes and a little more time testing

i didn't mean to say your complaints weren't legit, just that technology never seems to work out for you, e.g. steam/ipad/this/etc.

i'm sorry

[Eel O'Brian]

nah, a lot of people have the same issues i have with this stuff, i am just more outspoken about it (at least here), i guess

[CajoleJuice]

fair enough

[Great Rumbler]

If the probability of getting a glitch, error, bug, or any other negative thing is more than 0, Eel will definitely get it. I do feel for you, man, seriously.

So far I haven't seen any bugged quests, fortunately, and I've been doing just about all the sidequests I come across.

[Momo]

Huff you are making me sad, I see you playing on my friend list

My pre-order for TODAY got delayed till thursday

[Cerveza mas fina]

Installing....!

oddly enough i rarely ever get the bethesda bugs everyone else gets

Anyone except me and Huff playing this on PS3?

if you're dying a lot that early on then yes you are just a girly man gamer, although i just got to the part where you infiltrate the raider camp to save some dude and i died 3 times in the bossfight there, so yes it does get challenging solo, but i didn't have a problem that early on

[demi]

The part with Lilith is awesome. I love how they put the old cast as part of the story. Just need to find my dude Mordecai and I'm golden.

[Brehvolution]

Anyone using the assassin? I'm thinking about switching up.

[demi]

I rock Zer0

Focusing on Pistol / Sniper / Melee

[Cerveza mas fina]

Holy shit this is already more fun then D3 and TL2 combined

[Brehvolution]

Sounds good since the first part of the game has a bunch of pistols. I created a character for my son, but it's the same character as mine and he doesn't switch it and plays my game. So I figure if I play as someone that looks different he will switch it to his guy.

Me and Great Rumbler and Vizzy played that part last night.

"Well...I kinda, sorta founded a cult."

[Brehvolution]

I'm on the sexbox 360, you too?

If so I'll start my new character with you unless you want to play your existing character. I have a level 13 guy otherwise.

[demi]

Mojo is on 360...

[Brehvolution]

I'll have the 360 all to myself tonight too!

What time are you thinking?

[Brehvolution]

If we eat out tonight I may be a little later than 7:30. I'll join you when I get on.

I figured as much. Oh well, I guess I'll try my hand at one of those virtual pet games.

[Eel O'Brian]

I'm really pissed I can't finish that quest because of the glitch, finishing it apparently launches a longer  questline.

[demi]

Dying is pretty normal for this game. It's not like you failed for dying. You are either underleveld, your loot sucks, or you're just getting swarmed. That's why they have last stand / second wind.

At most you lose a few bucks... big whoop.

When I play (with 1 partner), I just run in like I dont give a fuck.

[Huff]

that forum you quoted had a work around or two on the last page or so

[Eel O'Brian]

Why can't you finish it?

Just join someone else's game that's doing it and you'll get credit for any objectives you do.

that did it, thanks

i had to backtrack a bit to the part before you get to sanctuary, and got grouped up with a bunch of weapon/cash/ammo hogs, but now i can move on

[demi]

Zero can use Shotties just fine since he's more of an up close type of person.

[AdmiralViscen]

I think the Gunzerker's pistol perk is the only weapon specific upgrade, right? Kinda weird

[demi]

Class mods do add some proficiency

[Stoney Mason]

Talking to the Michael Mamaril NPC in Sanctuary will get you a free gun everytime you go there.

[demi]

He's just hanging out somewhere.

GOTY

this game is hard on awesome

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Bought this game today on disc at Best Buy.  Installation worked flawlessly through Steam.

Let's do this shit!

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Wow, this game is great.

[AdmiralViscen]

Yeah they seem to have gotten away with weapon specifics. They even got rid of Proficiency.

I'm fine with this, but it's weird to stick a pistol upgrade In the zerker tech tree. Especially for pistols and not shotguns

[Eel O'Brian]

Viz and I hit another bugged quest yesterday, had to quit out of the game to get it to reset. Treesong and I played for a while, didn't hit any bugs.

I am gonna make a new character and take it through the opening bits, then reserve it, if anyone else wants to start fresh and play through the whole game co-op (not at once, just keep a character on reserve for that purpose) let me know.

I wouldn't mind doing that, I was already thinking of starting a new playthrough with Zero.

[fistfulofmetal]

my game crashes a lot. next time i need to take a screenie of the crash dump. happens at least once a session :\

Bummer, man. I've played over 23 hours and haven't hit a single crash. What kind of set up do you have?

When do the powers kick in? Level 5?  That's where I'll stop and put a hold on my character. Guess I will go for the Commando this time.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

I have this game up at full settings for everything and it hasn't skipped a beat in performance nor have I come across any buggy quests.  I do imagine that the further I progress, I will come across some issues.

i think i fixed it by validating the steam data integrity. hasn't happened since.

Ah, yeah sometimes you can get a corrupted file or something and that messes everything up. Good to here you've got it fixed, nothing sucks more than constant crashes.

[fistfulofmetal]

SMAA injector and texture pop-in fix applied. game looks godly

[Joe Molotov]

Haha, I opened this cardboard box and Handsome Jack was like "What's in the boooox?" and I found a pistol that was called "Gwen's Head". Too bad it sucks, but REFERENCES!
