Sequel to game of the generation, improving on all the right things? CATCH A RIDE!!!

[Kaldea]

Count me among those who played the first game solo just fine. Multiplayer is a lot of fun and I loved it just as much solo. Depends on the person I guess.

[legacyzero]

Can you link the source? Last year they said it wasn't possible. http://www.joystiq.com/2011/08/19/bo...w-with-online/

Source is me.

BAHAHA

[kami_sama]

For the steam users you could make a group.

How do different skills that boost the same thing stack? For example, 5/5 Willing and 5/5 Pressure on Axton both give up to -60% Shield Recharge Delay. If the normal delay is 3 seconds, will maxing those skills bring it down to 3 * .4 * .4 = 0.48 seconds?

BAHAHA

I don't read usernames or look at avatars. I've been on GAF for 5 years and still have no idea who anybody is.

[jello44]

Nice thread...but why is up a week early? >_< I don't wanna be looking at all this stuff yet, when I got still over another week of dealing with work before I can even touch Borderlands 2.

It's OK, I'm leaving on vacation the day after it releases.

I'm a terrible planner, evidently. :P

(At the time, there was no release date!)

That's the funny part about it. It took me like 3 pages to realize that Tomm Hulett was in the Silent Hill HD collection thread.

[Hindle]

Can not wait! Anyone up for some co op come release day?

[Razek]

That's the funny part about it. It took me like 3 pages to realize that Tomm Hulett was in the Silent Hill HD collection thread.

WHAT? I was just in that thread lol.

Edit: NVM, you probably mean the official one, not the recent one about the videos.

[x-Lundz-x]

i bought the game full price. bought all dlc. and still didn't even finish the game or anything... (or start on the DLC) lol

Well get on that stat!

Yes I did it with a friend took almost 150 hours and loved every second of it.

This is what I mean, if you started it how could you stop lol.

Yes. It was boring.

Wut?

[PsychoWARD23]

Can't wait, great OT!

[King Boo]

i was hoping the skills would be better in the second one, but it seems it's harder to do that for a fps rpg. still good though

i'll probably play as zero first, then the short guy who reminds me of the big guy from the first game.

[legacyzero]

[dragonlife]

He's in both.

Wut?

I said it's boring; uninteresting; dull; vapid. One of the worst games I ever purchased this gen--probably the only one, tbh. I only bought it because I always chose what games me and a friend should play. Then he wanted to do Borderlands, so, I gave it a shot.

Regret.

BL2 looks much-improved and fun. We'll see if my forgiving, believer-of-second-chances nature is still worth holding onto.

[Edgeward]

Getting it on PC, those promises better deliver. I hope GMG gets the keys early and we can preload.

[Hindle]

So what class is everyone going with? Ninjas will always win for me.

[Sn4ke_911]

So what class is everyone going with? Ninjas will always win for me.

Maya or Zero for me.

[jello44]

So what class is everyone going with? Ninjas will always win for me.

Siren to start off.

Mechromancer when it's released.

[legacyzero]

So what class is everyone going with? Ninjas will always win for me.

Probably Axton. Even though I posted "Meat Shield" on the Google Doc LOL

[Ein Soph Aur]

So what class is everyone going with? Ninjas will always win for me.

Maya or Zero

[x-Lundz-x]

So what class is everyone going with? Ninjas will always win for me.

Zero, but playing as a Sniper.

Then on to the DLC character when she's out.

[StunandStab]

I added my name to the PSN list. I look forward to co-oping with some of you guys

[Dog Problems]

So what class is everyone going with? Ninjas will always win for me.

Gunzerker will be my first, but like the first game I'll end up playing them all extensively.

[FtHTiny]

Great OT, posted my steam id into the doc. Will probably start as axton and now the hype gets critical.

[Kinitari]

Fuck, I've been media blackouting for this game, and I didn't realize it was coming so soon!

Guys... I want to use whatever class has revolver skills. Which one is that?

Also... PS3 or PC?

[out0v0rder]

so im reading the op and it says splitscreen is for consoles only eh?
if true, i hate it when this happens. maybe you will get it right next time gearbox.
if not true, bought.

[dragonlife]

Also... PS3 or PC?

Wherever your friends are.

No friends? PC.

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

This game is looking amazingly good and really fun to play. I love how this sequel has a more focus on playing alone according to the reviews. The first one was fun too, but it wasn't as exciting when playing by yourself. I'd love to play it twice, once alone and the second with friends.

I know the game will have tons of replay value, but does anyone know how long the first playthrough is?

[alba]

Sooo pumped! Great OT. Let's go...

[Duebrithil]

Very nice OT, looking forward to the release.

So what class is everyone going with? Ninjas will always win for me.

Probably Zer0 or Axton, but I haven't really looked at all the skill trees, so who knows.

[ekim]

Any word on the minimum system reqs yet? Steam only lists the recommended specs.

[tamaster92]

I am HYPED about this damn game...

[DMPrince]

... it's in the op.

[CrunchyFrog]

Cannot fucking wait

[iNvid02]

Good idea

[ekim]

I disabled pictures on my iPhone. Sorry :p

[Raxus]

When will the review embargo end?

When the game is released I believe. They are worried the inevitable wave of bad reviews will sink the sales. Gearbox could only moneyhat Game Informer.

Just kidding I am sure they will all be super 9+ scores all around.

[ii Stryker]

So what class is everyone going with? Ninjas will always win for me.

Bloodshed Zero with some Cunning or Cataclysm Maya with some Harmony.

Maybe Salvator but to me there's nothing definitive with any of his 3 skill trees and I'd prolly distribute his skills between all 3.

Wont play as Axton. He's a dude bro stereotype and I can play that type of character in every other FPS coming out ever.

[Remmy2112]

Fuck, I've been media blackouting for this game, and I didn't realize it was coming so soon! Guys... I want to use whatever class has revolver skills. Which one is that? Also... PS3 or PC?

No class in the game seems to specifically be pro-revolver. So far from looking at the skill trees Zero has some bonuses specifically to sniper rifles, Maya to any elemental weapon, and Axton to rocket launchers, grenades, and a little in assault rifles. Aside from that every class can use any weapon to near full effectiveness, with most skills that used to be +pistol and sniper damage, or +SMG damage being changed to be just +gun damage. So pick up WHA'CHU WANT and GOOD RIDDANCE!

I am super excited for this game, probably more than I have been for a game in a long time, so much so that I'm actually going to attend the Gearbox community day in Dallas on the 15th. Mass Effect 3 was the last one that came close, then that ending deflated all enthusiasm. X-Com is the only other game that approaches my hype level for Borderlands 2.

[Raptor]

There'll be some optional side quests that are specifically designed for co-op but you can play the entire BL2 campaign solo if you'd like. It is much more fun to play it with friends though.

I played the first BL exclusively SP. If the game gets it's loot hooks into you than you'll lose track of the hours. The shooting is pretty damn competent and it was always fun going to new areas. The sequel seems to expand on a greater variety of environments and a more richer story/objective system. So yeah, I think it'll be more than worth it for just playing SP.

Thanks, that sounds actually really good.

That OP is amazing. Anyway, I'm definitely picking up the GOTY/complete edition of this game.

[Raxus]

Does the PC version of the game still have that annoying Gamespy support?

Where the hell are my Salvabros at?

[dragonlife]

Someone missed the love letter to PC gamers.

It's Steamworks. No Gamespy crap.

[TheFLYINGManga_Ka]

Is the game really 58 hours long for the first playthrough like it was mentioned?

[Razek]

He's in both.

In this one: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthre...ht=tomm+hulett ?
I don't see him.

Anyways, can someone briefly explain how GMG works for this preorder? Do they email steam keys out or do we have to download it from them? Can we preload?
Also, I hope they give us some proper PC tweaks this time, like a simple FOV slider please?

[Gotchaye]

I ended up biting just now for $36.

Still, no class is jumping out at me in the way that Lilith did for the first one. I want to take SMGs and run around mowing down monsters. Probably the Gunzerker is the best for that, but his active is incredibly uninteresting to me - he just gets damage boosts. Maya's Phaselock seems too passive. Zero is promising, but a lot depends on his melee attacks being easier to use than the ones in the first game.

Edit: Zero's also got one of the best set-ups for SMGs, it seems to me, especially with that Rising Shot ability in his middle tree. As I read it, he ramps up to +50% damage almost instantly upon opening up with a high RoF weapon.

[Aggrotek]

Does anyone wanna coop the first one with me on 360 this week?

[ekim]

oh. well min is Windows XP SP3 2.4 Dual Core Processor 2GB XP, 2GB Vista 256MB Video Memory Nvidia GeForce 8500 DirectX 9.0c Compliant.

Thanks. PC version then. :)
