I'd like to say I'm sick of all the remasters, but I am looking forward to playing through Borderlands 2 again

This will also include 4 player local co-op for the first time.

Beat me too it /shakes fist :pac:

Anyone surprised to hear of my excitement at this news

Money for old rope.

When are the new games coming?

wexdevil

I might pick it up as I haven't played the pre-sequel yet

I was lucky enough to see it on Facebook so decided to post it here. For a remaster it is brilliant value for money with all the dlc content and the game play hours for both games. Loved Borderlands 2

maximoose

If you've $400 to spare the collector's edition includes a remote control Claptrap :pac:

Was very disappointed with TPS, and really don't know if I could play BL2 again given how much I played it the first time around.

But I'm still buying this because f*ck you!

Mickeroo

If the first game was in it I'd get it but I played the others much too recently to be bothered with this.

Nope. Just 2 and the pre-sequel. In fairness though, BL2 has a LOT of content

Thargor

2 was probably my fav game of the last couple of years, definitely fav FPS but if I played it again I think Id puke. Have TPS ready to go but peoples comments on here have put me off with my gaming time being limited atm.

Well they've got what, Furious 4, Battleborn and Homeworld Remastered in the oven officially? I'd imagine they're also rebuilding their Borderlands tech in Unreal 4 for a new entry in that series at some point.

Either way, I imagine we'll be hearing about their new titles in the run up to E3.

ShadowHearth

4 Player couch co-op sounds fantastic.

I wont be buying it right now, but I can see myself buying it at some point for local co-op.

Kiith

So they are actually including all the DLC? Huh, figured they'd leave a few out as normal and charge extra for them.

There's probably still a good bit of BL:TPS DLC to come which doesn't seem to have been included. So it'll probably just be the DLC for both games released-to-date

It says for TPS there is "upcoming" campaign add on and playable class included, which I'd imagine doesn't mean what's already been released.

If you look at 51 seconds into the video it shows the cover art for everything released to date, but does have "And more" written beside it so I would assume it will include the other 2 pieces of season pass DLC for TPS which will be another character and a story based one, though 'story' is open to debate given the last bit they released.

Or if you look at the last two items in the list of included content.

Sorry, I meant what's been released up to the release date of the game. I think the campaign add on and playable class are due to be released around that time too. I just meant that with the amount of dlc BL2 had outside of the season pass, chances are we'll see the same again for TPS (eg dlc for the next year or so which we'll have to pay for)

Gummy Panda

I'd probably get it for TPS though BL2 was great fun and good humour

Anyone after picking this up interested in doing a 4-Player Co-Op play through on PS4 of Borderlands 2? We have 3 of us (with experience ranging from Very High to New) looking at getting a game going, said I'd throw the feelers out there

Thought you could just drop in and out of games. That's what we did the first time round, I thought. Been ages since I played it.
(Un)Fortunately my copy just arrived this morning. :pac:

Well yeah, you can, but what with all the other games that exist I'd like to just have one character for online and have everyone on the same level and missions completed etc.

The days of running 4 characters al at different levels are done and dusted (damn you Destiny!!!)

You level up extremely fast when playing with higher levels, when I started a game with 3 lads and a forth jumped in when we were all 20+ he was the same level as us after about an hour from playing on the higher level. For the first 40 minutes he just stayed on mic for a chat as nothing he did even dented the enemies.

If you near in level everyone really just levels out after a few missions, so unless someone is 10+ levels higher/lower it's not really an issue.

Was just looking to see if a 4th was interested in playing regardless.

I know you can power level, I did it before, just thought it might be fun to start from the start with a group of 4

Didn't really mean power levelling where there's a huge difference in level but if 3 can play one night and the 4th joins up again the next he's not going to be lower for long.

The game is also great on tracking what you've done and not, so if you did mission 15 already with a group and then go back after completing mission 14 it'll ask if you want to skip mission 15.

Been meaning to jump back into this or for the pre-sequel, and finish the DLC for B2.

Well here's your chance! Can you pass up such an opportunity!

Sure, if you can't find a 4th but time wise I can't really play during the weekday.

nocal

One of the 3 has never played the game before - so for his sake and for his enjoyment of the game we are trying to stay reasonably well synced up. In my experience, the game can be an awful lot less fun if you are 2 levels behind your playing partners and the mission level.

For normal mode and TVHM it does not matter as much - but for UVHM the tighter the sync, the better for everyone.

Hopefully we will get to play through all the way and get to unlock the OP levels (because I really need a 5th Op8 toon!) - but that will depend on how much Cormac and Mitch enjoy playing the game. The plan is to play about twice a week on the coop characters.

When we are bored with BL2 we plan to give TPS a whirl.

Sure, I'll add you to our little chat Dreadaxe.

We're hoping to start this weekend and do a few hours a week. I think (so far, would have to confirm with Conovar) that Sunday is an option, failing that, late tonight or 4-7 tomorrow

nocal

Just to point out that Conovar had never played any BL2 - so I am very conscious of trying not to ruin anything for him at this point....

(oh and I am also angling for an "original 4 characters" playthrough.....having to listen to a psycho or a mechro on UVHM again would just be too much......)

Hi Dread, conovar and the rest of the Destiny crew. MADMADRA32 here, I picked up the game last week after burning my self out from doing raids. I have BL2 on the 360 and I'm looking to tear through it if ye need a 4th on the ps4. I work nights and I'm free Friday to Sunday if ye need the numbers .

gimli2112

Really getting into this again. Previously played as an Assassin (which I loved) now trying the Gunzerker. Not feeling the love for the Gunzerker but think I'm doing it wrong. Going to re-spec it later. Some amount of content with the two games and all the DLC.

Gunzerker is a lot of fun once you level up a lot more. The combinations of guns you can use simultaneously can cause absolute mayhem and destruction.

My favourite was using two slag SMGs, then switching to two Double Penetrating Unkempt Harolds. Destroyed everything.

Contemplating starting another playthrough myself. Might try Assassin.

Played Tales From The Borderlands and really liked it. Want to get the Handsome Collection but will I be missing much story-wise by not playing BL1? Also, should I play them chronologically or in order of release?

gimli2112

You don't need to have played BL1 at all. I had before I got into BL2 but you don't miss anything. I just went into BL2 on the collection. Will get round to the prequel at some point.

I never played BL1 either but you miss almost nothing by not having played it. A few references here and there maybe.

Play BL2 before The Pre-Sequel. Mainly because BL2 is a much better game, but also for storyline purposes, as TPS basically already assumes you've played BL2, and some of the story in TPS takes place after BL2.

We started off last night with our party of 4 - myself, Generic, Conovar and Dreadaxe.

As Conovar has never played the game before we are trying not to totally just tear through it. But as the rest of us have already played the game, there seems to be an element of tearing through it.

I will happily co-op with you if you like...just let me know.

Hey, as Cal said, you're welcome to join us, even if I need to run a new character, I'm onto my 2nd on PS4 and think I had 3 or 4 on X-Box 360.

I know we've all got commitments so I've set up a chat for us on PS4 that I added you to since we might be able to have players drop in and out (not saying you need 4 players) by any stretch of the imagination here. Just personally I like playing in a group of 4 for the social aspect.

We only played about 3 or 4 hours or so, so if you'd like I could send you a screen grab of the missions we did, and if you're around that same level we can substitute you in if one of us can't make it

The main thing was we stopped immediately after the mission "A Dam Fine Rescue", we were level 14 and did very very little side quests.

I can add you too..... if you're sober for the most part :pac:

FYI: Nothing too time consuming or hardcore, just a sitting or 2 of a few hours a week..... it's not as life consuming as Destiny.... yet

Can someone explain true vault hunter to me please?

I still have 2 of the DLC packs to play but I've completed the main story and am too over-powered so don't want to "waste" the remaining DLC.

If I start true vault hunter mode, do I keep all my weapons and stats, and could I then head straight to the DLC locations (Tina and Hammerlock specifically), hopefully with the enemies now leveled higher? Or do you literally start from the very beginning and have to open up all the travel stations again?

nocal

If you start TVHM you keep all your weapons and stats.
You re-set progress on the main story and all DLC's.

You have to unlock all travel stations again - but the DLC ones are available from the start.
The DLC's might start at a particular level in TVHM (as they do in normal) - so long since I have done TVHM I can not remember.
Best bet is to start TVHM and use the DLC's to break up the repetitiveness.

Just a bump to let ye know that there's 10 of us playing this on PS4 (on and off)

We have a chat group on the console so if anyone is playing this on PS4, feel free to add/message me and I can add you
Whether it's your 1st playthrough or TVHM or UVHM. Players of all experience levels welcome. Several of us have multiple characters at various levels and the community is decent and friendly (it's mainly Irish players from the Boards.ie Destiny Clan atm)

PSN: GenericDreadHead

Borderlands: The Handsome collection is €23.99 at Argos

There is now like 16-18 of us playing it on PS4 together (same as post above), great value, great game and better with friends.

About 80-100 hours even if you only play all the content once.

Sorry for the bump, but the group has a lot of traction on PS4 if anyone else wants to get in on it, you're more than welcome.

In fact the Off Topic thread in the Destiny Sub Forum has pretty much become the "Borderlands 2 Chat"

Any Xbox1 people playing Borderlands 2 ? Im on UVHM playing solo and its starting to get a bit tough, tried doing the tk baha dlc and got destroyed by the skeletons.

Main issues i have are im lvl54 but my best weapons are 50-51, plus my best slag weapon only has a 10% slag chance which isnt helping matters. So looking for a few people to do co-op with to help me out.

THanks
