The original Borderlands is the only 'modern' game that I can play through 16+ times (seriously) and not get sick of. Mass Effect, Deus Ex, Saints Row, Grand Theft Auto etc, have all come pretty close, but nothing has been able to match it yet.

Open world, a thousand different enemies to kill, more guns than you can think of, and it's pretty damn hilarious.

Dodgy 14 minutes of gameplay video;

And the official release trailer;

Super excited for this. International release date is 21 September... Was originally in July at some point, which is kinda disappointing, but it gives me a few months to finish ME3 a couple times and get that out of my system.

Will definitely be in for that one thumbsup.gif

Enjoyed the first thoroughly but strangely only as Lilith, the other characters bored me.

Playing through the story in a group of three is awesome.

Only issue was that one of our mates started to cheat using Willowtree. Ghey.

Playing as Lilith was rad. Didn't really like her in low levels, but once you got her up to speed with a decent SMG, she made most missions a snack.

Brick and Roland I didn't feel were nearly as flexible.

And Mordacai... Couldn't even finish 1 play through with him. Painful.

Never did the multiplayer thing with the first. I'll give it a crack with this one though.

With a bit of luck, they fix up the rocket damage.

Even with a maxed out Brick, rockets were less effective than guns rolleyes.gif

So are you saying you didn't like trying to kill badass' with giant Nerf guns?

Me neither. Shit got old quick.

must admit i would have spent a good few hundred hours on the first one and it's expansions.

i mainly used mordecai, found the other characters a bit "meh". even lilith and her stealth walk thing would only do maybe 20-30% damage to a group of enemies so it wasnt that much help. i liked how with mordecai you can send out his pet darkwing and he'll take out several enemies in one go before returning once you've unlocked his skill perk a few times that was awesome. but after a while the game got pretty tiresome.

and yeah i wish some elements had been more realistic. like having to shoot people 5 or 6 times in the head with a high level sniper rifle before they'd die is stretching it pretty far and its frustrating as fk!. like some of you mentioned same problem with rockets. that kinda stuff is meant to be the holy grail of death and destruction yet it just kind of becomes redundant when all it does is cause someone to stumble.

I do like that this one will supposedly allow split screen online.

On another note, wife came home yesterday with a receipt for a BL2 pre-order, then proceeded to tell me that she'd pay the rest before the launch date.

Good woman that one.

Played the first one through including zombie island and the thunderdome add on as Lillith. Loved her so much, other characters were a bit bland in my opinion. Didn't play any of the other add ons though.

Really looking forward to this one. Not sure who to play as, the assassin or the siren again.

    • Nah. Was just wondering if you were having a small stroke or if there was some slur/gaf/inside joke that I wasn't aware of.
    • That was a fark up, it's Salamanca Place I was thinking of. And now I'm curious as to what potential slur/gaf I have caused with Salamander Road, ha ha!
    • Actually everyone on the roads was really well behaved. The only person that did any minor tailgating was a local hoon in a Turbo Focus. Unfortunately we weren't going the same way so there was no grand initial D touge battle. Lots of people pulled over and let me through. The amount of "Hey man nice car, omg skyline, nice 34 man woo" was suprising. Like really suprising. Like almost annoying. My partner was obviously surprised, she'd never seen anyone in the real world point out the car/like the car/want to chat about the car before, so to have like 3 people per day mention it was notable, I could finally say SEE? SOMEONE THINKS THEY'RE COOL. Everyone was also pretty suprised about the weather. Every day was dry and about ~13-14C. Mount Wellington had a sign that said they close the gates at 9pm and I was heading up there at about ~7:30. It was VERY apparent that conditions were getting significantly worse by the minute on the way up and down. The road on the mountain was terrible though, it's no driving road. I have various suspension related questions now. Luckily it was only about 20 minutes from where we were staying to the top of the mountain as said Google maps. We only had the 2 nights in Hobart. We went to the Farm Gate Market though which was really good - And went down to the Hastings Thermal springs/caves down there during the day. I'd definitely be up for going back again, so luckily there's a few more sights yet to see. Didn't get to do the west coast/queenstown/cradle mountain so this was supposed to be a 'scouting' trip anyway of sorts if I were to one day do/take part in/organize a more car-focused trip. As for the boat, it wasn't bad. Well it was bad, but not in the way you're thinking. We did the night trip which leaves at 6:45 (though you have to be there ~2 hours earlier) and arrives the next morning at about 6am. There is nothing to do on the ship. If you plan accordingly and bring a book/tablet/show to watch/charger you can just chill out, take some Travacalm and just sleep through it. The food there is an extremely basic buffet that costs $32 a plate, or $14 for a $3 pizza. The way back we had a travel kettle and a few different types of cup noodles and made our own tea/coffee in the room. This was a far superior way to do it. At the very least book one of the rooms with beds. I guess as we were in the off season we didn't have room mates. You get an option for rooms with 4 beds (2x bunks) or a room with just the two bottom beds. There's also some option for a deluxe queen bed but it's much pricer. We've been on sleeper trains in Asia before so we figured this is similar (and it was)
    • You just gotta be really, really, really clear and decisive with what you want your end product to be. 99% of people who want this conversion aren't "I want to run a 295 front tyre!" so they don't really need the widebody. They just want the OEM body to look a little less dumpy, so bonnet, bar, skirts job done with some camber, stretch, slam. It's when you want that, but then decide to pivot later you get big problems. See also if you're willing to get an all in one fibreglass bar, and you're willing to accept fibreglass problems like cracking the entire item on a driveway, instead of just a piece attached to the bottom, etc etc etc. Decide this all before buyin'.
