Gaige's second Echo recording

^ Ahh, you are probably right. So you're stuck with his voice that whole time? lol And dang, Jack sounds a hell of a lot like Axton. You should try out Maya, just to see how weird that whole thing is.

Actually I already did and yes it is REALLY weird.

I finally really got started on TVHM after leveling different characters. I just rescued Roland with my Maya. I suppose it would be difficult if Maya wasn't so powerful. Didn't even die once.

Been experimenting with different builds. Ruin is awesome, but then again combining Thoughtlock with the bullet reflection skill eliminates the need to take cover. I was running around in TVHM shooting people at point blank with my shotgun. Good times!

Good to know. I just started a Vault Hunter Mode playthrough with my Maya, and have been considering switching things up a bit. I've had my eye on Motion/Thoughtlock for some time now.

It's kind of funny how immune you can become to certain enemies, after completing a playthrough. Nomads? Bruisers? Psychos? Rats? Pffth. Even Threshers aren't much of a big deal, now. Ruin can take out a One Armed Bandit in about a second. I am loving it.

And as it turns out, she's a brony. WOOT.

[LPPrince]

^Also, "The Stare" is a reference to Fluttershy. They left that out.

Mechromancer's release date has been bumped up a week and is releasing today!

The final raspberry (I don't like cherries as much) on this cake is that Gearbox decided to release the DLC early. So while it was originally slated for an October 16th release, players on all platforms—Xbox 360, PS3, PC—will be able to download the Mechromancer by the end of today (October 9th). And you should, because she's great.

So a friend bought me Borderlands 2 but it was a RU/ROW key (didn't know) does anyone know if I can buy the season pass and Mechromancer on Steam or will I have to find someone to trade me a RU/ROW version? *wink wink*

[happy_daiz]

^ Yes, you can buy the season pass at any time, from the main menu screen within Borderlands 2. At least on the XBox version, but I assume it would be the same idea on Steam.

So is it just me, or are you guys crawling-out-of-your-skin excited about Gaige? OMG! Is it true? One week early? Arrgh, I'm stuck at work all day!

Not the same on Steam made a thread over at Gearbox forums looks like I'm gonna have to buy it here instead of the Steam store but it's much cheaper too!

I managed to snag a free Priemere Key for Borderlands so I get Gaige for free! 

[Shepenwepet]

Rumor: Gaige may wipe your save/badass points... hmmm...

[happy_daiz]

Well, that's not good. I wonder if by wiping saves, that means wiping all save files? Yikes.

I had that happen before with some other game (lost my achievements/trophies), but I can't recall which one. Looking would mean turning on the PS3, and I haven't done that for ages. It gets really hot where it's at.

Didn't happen to me. My 12k badass points are safe for now

Anyway, Gaige is immensely fun to play. I took Anarchy as my first skill point and got to work stacking it up to 150. 2-shot Bertha (the cannon in the Boom Bewn fight) with my crappy shotgun (first shot took out 75% of its health), and I one-shot both bosses.

At 150 stacks though, you can't hit anything that isn't in your face so it requires some fancy maneuvering to survive (hint: there's a ricochet skill in the BFF tree -- I smell synergy!).

But there are so many other possibilities. Can't wait to try out Little Big Trouble once I get some more points.

PS: I love how she comments on Anarchy stacking. Once she said "don't accidentally reload".

My badass points are intact as well. I don't have 12k of them, but they're still there (I believe I have somewhere around 5k).

I didn't play for long, as I had to watch the hubs try out Dishonored and the new XCOM, but I did play long enough to get Deathtrap. He was quite handy in getting Bullymong fur. Heh. And Gaige is pretty cute. Some of her comments are quite unexpected. Now I really wish I could switch to third person, so I could see her while I'm playing.

Does Deathtrap's appearance change based on the skill tree or perks you choose?

That's still my only major complaint about this series. No third person. Its even worse this time around since we can do far more customization of looks.

[happy_daiz]

Exactly. So all of these customization options are for the benefit of your friends/co-op partners?

Well, I guess in one regard, it's a good thing, as I probably spend too much time admiring my creations as it is (Skyrim).

[termokanden]

I don't know if Deathtrap's appearance changes. I don't powerlevel so I am not that far yet.

Some people are already at 50 with Gaige. It's their choice of course, but I don't enjoy games by rushing straight to the end of them.

[happy_daiz]

Level 50? How in the heck? I had Gaige to level 5 when I stopped, but I would have been farther if I'd not taken a break to watch my husband play.

I'd already forgotten how crappy the guns and shields are when you're just starting out. It's easy to become complacent when when most standard enemies pretty much melt under Ruin.

Finally completed the game today, and damn, this game was awesome. Totally worth pre-ordering. The vanilla game alone is at least as good as the original game combined with DLC, so it'll only get better once BL2's DLC is released! That having been said, there were only two real gripes I had with the game: we can't listen to Echo devices from the menu like in the first game, and *SPOILERS*...
*SPOILERS*
*SPOILERS*
we never go up to Handsome Jack's orbiting moon base, although hopefully future DLC will cover that.

Speaking of, apparently the first DLC will have a pirate theme, based on some leaked achievements. Should be interesting.

[termokanden]

Well I finally got some more playtime and got to level 16 with my Roboteer tonight. Put all points in the BFF tree and...

Wow. That is just nuts. With Upshot Robot I had Deathtrap out for five minutes or so (granted, I was killing varkids). Meanwhile, your shield is regularly charged to full. The ricochet skill is not bad either; all players have a less than 100% hit rate (and in a tough fight, most of us have much less), so it's just extra damage. Kind of fun watching the bullets bounce around too!

On the one hand, Gaige is just too powerful (at least in PT1, no idea about TVHM yet). On the other hand, I wouldn't want them to nerf her before I even get a chance to try out the skill trees. I hope they don't go into Blizzard mode here, but I am sure people will demand it.

His appearence changes if you get skills that upgrade him.

^ Ooh, I can't wait to see what Deathtrap looks like once upgraded. I saw a pre-release image of him with glowy claws, and I wasn't sure if that was a real image of him from the game, or an artist rendering.

I need to get back into Borderlands 2. I find my interest piqued in the new XCOM game as of late. My hubs has been playing it, and I've been watching, while poor Gaige is stuck at level 5. Good thing the weekend will be here soon; I have some catching up to do. And dang those butterflies that keep distracting me. It's like Skyrim all over again.

Butterflies? WHERE?

[happy_daiz]

Oops, sorry, I didn't mean literal butterflies. Just stuff that distracts me like the butterflies in Skyrim.

And in re-reading what I wrote, I see why that was confusing.
