Quote by Jared:




Not really. If you have ever played a FPS before then you should be fine. Its just that they throw in a bunch of twists like the skill trees and what not for each character. It's all about picking a character that is geared towards your play style. It will make it even easier if you play with other people and not just by yourself.

Just make sure that if you decide to join someone else's game, they aren't multiple levels ahead of you. Because the enemies level with the person who is hosting the game. So you could be a level 1 character joining the game of someone who is level 20 and all of the enemies would be 19 levels stronger than you. Though that is also an easy way to level up since you get xp from the other players kills as well. So you could sit back and not do anything and level up your character at the same time.

It's weird though because sometimes it seems like it doesn't always give you XP for other people getting the kills unless you shoot at the enemies they're killing when you join someone higher than you, might have just been a bug in 1 though because it was very random when it'd happen. You also gotta watch out if you join someone who's way ahead of you in story progression you won't always get credit for the mission or XP/rewards upon the completion which is kind of dumb.




ok cool, thanks guys for the info,i think im going to really like BL2:cool:

I'm on the fence about getting the 2nd... I enjoyed the first for around 800 points. Finishing it up and doing the crappy DLC (and yeah, I thought it ALL sucked, I didn't like one DLC that was released) ruined it for me. I hate buying a game knowing I'm going to have to shell out almost as much again just to complete it.

That's exactly how I felt. I enjoyed it right up until I finished The Vault. I was so pissed that there was absolutely nothing worth a tinkers damn in the vault. All that build up for nothing. The only DLC I got was the Zombie Island shit and I ended up trading the game in on something shortly after that.

Quote by IGN's Review:


The main story hits on notes you’ve probably encountered in hundreds of other games but, despite being clichéd and more than a little predictable, it’s still far more successful than in the original. Borderlands 2’s campaign narrative actually tells a coherent story, with endearing characters who manage to feel nuanced and real. At times the story can even be touching and heavy, though this is when it starts to feel a bit at odds with Borderlands 2’s overwhelmingly silly sense of humor. Ultimately, though, it’s a yarn worth hearing, one that ropes you in and makes you feel like what you’re doing has purpose – something the original game never really achieved.



This seals it for me. I will be getting this sometime this week. That was prolly my biggest beef with the first one.

Agreed, just finished all 4 DLCs and didn't like them one bit, it was nothing but fetch quests and don't get me started on the Claptrap (Lucky Drop) DLC

I must be one of the few who enjoyed the DLC. I thought grinding zombie brains sucked but other than that, I had a great time playing through all four of them. Even Moxi's. We set up with four people and blasted those achievements in two days. In fact, I'm fairly certain I had even gone through and beat everything again on playthrough 2.

Well, apparently I go pick up my copy tomorrow from best buy and gamefly just sent me an email saying they just sent me a copy. I guess I didn't remove it from my game queue. But oh well, my kid can play system link with me then when my friends aren't online or whatever.
