Anyone getting Borderlands?

[Sunray]

Having enjoyed The Isle of Dr Ned I just bought the new DLC for Borderlands.

Fuck, its a bit difficult and its missing any levelling or any decent weapon drops. Just round after round a bit like that mission where you have to go three rounds only this is 5 rounds and if you die you go back to the start of the round.

All the enemies are the same level as you (I'm 47) and they are accurate and come from everywhere. Whats really annoying is that you get no XP from killing a badass lvl 47 brute with glowing eyes.

Can be sort of fun but there are times where you get to round 5 and die just before killing the boss and want to smash shit up.

Personally, if you were considering it I'd not bother. Its only 6 quid or so but unless you specifically want that type of addition then avoid.

Where do you lot get time to play so many games?

I still havn't completed it, was hoping to get a good few hours in over xmas, but good old fashioned partying and recovery got in the way.

 

[Sunray]

I was sick with Tonsillitis, so had plenty of game time.

 

[UnderOpenSky]

Fair play - I've a mate who's redicually good at Tony Hawk as he broke his back snowbording and couldn't do much else.

Hope your feeling better now.

I'm just about to start on that Zombie expansion, too. Don't think I'm up to level 40, though. Sounds difficult!

 

[Sunray]

I did it with a lvl 38 Brick with some serious hardware to go with it, what was putting everything down, suddenly was a bit on the weak side.

Love that DLC, I actually preferred it to the main game.

I've been looting the Dev chest for some choice loot (see Youtube for location) - it's in Rust Commons West, found a 129 x7 masher and a repeater that's so fast I can't see what I'm shooting

Steam are selling 3 copes for 100 euro, I'm tempted to buy it for a couple of mates and try some co-op (everyone I know with it is using the PS3). Need to play some more before i can get that Zombie pack...

 

[Sunray]

I've a repeater that does 179 damage with a 36 clip, about 1 second reload time and fire rate of 15 and 49 accuracy. The sound it makes is ace, bit like when you were a kid making machine gun noises.

I've also a machine gun that has 149 damage, has 15 fire rate, 1/2 second reload rate, 96.5 accuracy, practically no recoil, very high elemetal fire effect and if you look through the sight when you fire it unloads the entire clip into what your pointing at. Its got a tag line, "The destroyer has arrived." Its dark orange.

I can finish the game second play through with with either of these on its own.

when you put the dlc in does it say something on the start menu or is there somewhere you have to go to get to zombie islan in game?

Revived this over the past few days and have been playing COOP with a mate. Really enjoying it, although had forgotten absolutely everything and was useless for the 1st 30 minutes. Absolute nightmare of ports, firewalls and general pain to get it working COOP. Found that www.gameranger.com sorted it in the end.

Its on the fast transport menu.

cheers dude

oof!

 

[Sunray]

Both discovered in the IoDN and rather necessary weapons for the large number of Zombies that are there.

Aha. My masher is hitting headshots for around 6000 but I have to reload after every two shots, been using the less DPS one but it gives me a six clip.

I've only just realised that repeaters are improved with my gunslinger skills, thought it was just revolvers. No wonder they seem mental fast now (I've got a cracking gunslinger mod).

 

[Voley]

Just started Zombie Island. Fucking mental! I've got an incendiary sniper rifle that causes the buggers problems, mind. Atmosphere-wise it reminds me of Doom a bit. Used to stay up all night getting stoned and scaring the bloody life out of myself playing that many moons ago.

Anyone getting Boarderlands?

Amazon are selling the main PC game for 14 quid, got two copies winging their way over. I've 'evaluated' enough and need some co-op.

Those repeaters are mental, I've usually emptied a clip before the bullets hit the target...

 

[stupid dogbot]

Yeah, I've just bought it on their deal, too.

I don't know if I'll like it yet (it's an FPS, innit), but I'll give it a go at that price.

 

[Voley]

It's a bargain for 14 quid.

 

[grit]

I shall be "evaluating" this tonight when I get home from the pub. From the videos I cant make up my mind if i love or hate that comic book style visuals.

 

[Structaural]

It's a bargain for 14 quid.

Certainly is, Steam are selling it as an unboxed download for 49 euros or 150 for 4 copies.

 

[stupid dogbot]

Started this last night. Wasn't expecting much, I'm not usually and FPSer...

First reaction?

Awesome.

Reasigning your skill points at the new you stations is interesting, took everything off my bloodwing tree and put it into gunslinger - Relentless on 5 is mental in a firefight with my newly acquired Thanatos repeater I found in Old Haven. 83 clip, 12 rof, 80 damage - it's like carrying a hand held minigun... Up to lvl 33 and still loving it, must be near the end now...

 

[cypher79]

Need to get back into this game, its been gathering dust since i got Darksiders and Bayonetta.

I got up to 15 last night, and got a purple rifle mod that'll really suit my solider... but needs to be level 19.

Gah. Addictive.

 

[Private Storm]

Holy fucking shit in a basket - the end is possibly the worst thing I have ever come across, worse than finding out Jeremy Kyle is your dad.

Utter fail.

 

[cypher79]

Its excellent imo, its like a cross between God Of War & Devil May Cry

Yeah I agree, did this last night, proper gash.
Still the 2nd walkthrough is quite fun, just got killed by an alpha skag outside fyrestone, I forgot all about my corrosive weapons in the melee

 

[Structaural]

Shit bought a new shield - didn't check price, took my entire accumulated cash from my 1st playthrough - better find some loot....
