Been playing this a lot today, got to level 13 and

spoiler (click to show/hide)

Just saved Roland

[close]

It's a ton of fun so far - mostly minor improvements on Borderlands but I am 100% okay with that. The game is definitely a lot more fun in co-op, I was dying a bunch solo but haven't had much trouble in co-op. It's kind of annoying that pretty much every weapon I've found outside of pistols have sucked but hopefully I'll find some good loot soon.

^ and yeah, I'm also not finding much reason to do the side missions at the moment

I am REALLY outleveling side missions ... any reason to care or should I just blitz on ahead

I had that in the first game too, I think they set the side missions below the story missions so you can use them to catch up if you need to, but they don't structure the missions in order properly so you always wind up overlevelled for 90% of the side missions.

I have two different characters and I thought I would be able to share stuff between them because of that storage area in Sanctuary but I can't seem to get it to work. Was I wrong about that. Can characters on the same gamertag share items because everytime I go with either character it only shows the stuff I put in there with that specific character.

Edit: nevermind. I found it. There are two storage/stash areas in Sanctuary. I was using the wrong one.

you can't turn AFAIK, you can only adjust the camera and go forward/reverse?

never noticed, it felt very intuitive to me, i was turning on a dime and doing 180's like it was nothing

anyways i hopped onto fatalT's game earlier this morning and realized that when you co op with a friend you pretty much need to be on the same mission for it to "work", otherwise you're just gonna have to go through the same area later on in your own campaign playthrough?

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 · « **Reply #132 on:** September 20, 2012, 12:09:14 PM »

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.

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 · « **Reply #136 on:** September 20, 2012, 12:43:31 PM »

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.

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

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.

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.

Playing this game with people you knows makes a world of difference.

Secondly, people are smarter together. Oh look, I found an amazing shotgun, but I'm Zero, so here you are Axton!

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