Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel!

Mr E · 23-03-2015 6:15pm

The Claptastic Voyage is getting great reviews. Out later this week.

Generic Dreadhead · 23-03-2015 6:18pm

That advert was sooooo NOT Borderlands.... The 1st 90 seconds made me want to hide behind my couch. CRINGE
Looking forward to seeing 4 attractive women playing this on girly, sober, pyjama-party nights now, just need to fix my night vision lens and I'm away!

See you there

Day one patch on PS4 is 8.31gb but it is actually Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel’s Claptastic Voyage which was not completed in time for the release to be included on the original game disk so it’s being handed out as an additional download.

Tried both games out for a couple of hours the last 2 nights. Will have to give each class a quick go, before settling on what one to use. Liking the the class that lets you spawn a robot in Borderlands 2.

Mechromancer? Yeah if you pair that in MP with a Commando you have a melee robot and a turret, good for drawing fire. And in 4 player MP... well that's 6 of you laying waste to everything

The commando looks like another good class to try as well.

Tried the Lawbringer on pre-sequel, and not a fan of the gun ability. Its an ok ability, but not as cool as a robot. Will try the enforce, who has Drones which should be fun. Also, Captain Jack and Ice-woman looking interesting as well.

By all accounts Claptraps ability in the Pre-Sequel is the most useless as it's totally random..... but think of the drunken Multiplayer 4 player fun.... And really the fun is all I'm here for :pac:

Anyway, it's pre-ordered on Amazon.co.uk so I'll have it mid-next week.

Would be good to get some of the Destiny crew together playing this for the laugh

Athena The Gladiator is pretty great in TPS. Her shield absorbs pretty much all front damage and deals it back in return. Going to try Jack for this next playthrough though.

Claptrap abilities sound like they could be fun, but maybe a bit annoying if they fail at a boss or something.

Yeah, good idea.

That sounds cool too. Will have to give all the characters a quick go at least on the pre-sequel, as not too sure which one I would like best.

nocal · 26-03-2015 2:19pm

Looking forward to getting my hands on the handsome collection tomorrow.
I have not played the pre-sequel yet so at least it will be some fresh content even if it is not up to BL2 levels.

I already have my BL2 cross-saves uploaded from the PS3 - a couple of level 61 characters and a couple of level 50 characters. So I'l be looking forward to bringing them up to 72 and then tackling the OP levels.

For those not familiar with Borderlands co-op play - the game scales to the level of the highest player. I found in the past that it was best when all players were the same level and were leveling up at a similar pace.

As for BL2 character selection - Axton is fine as a first go, but as you go up the levels he becomes a little ineffective. Really looking forward to playing these on the PS4.

That's where I made my big error. In anticipation for The Handsome Collection, I traded in BL2 and BL:TPS (needed the money too). Didn't realise I'd need the disks for both in order to transfer my saves over to PS4. Whoops

Yeah I got Axton up to Lvl50 and he was alright. Pretty powerful if used right. But then I switched to Sal and never looked back. Gunzerking is f*cking amazing. Two Double Penetrating Unkempt Harold pistols destroy everything. EVERYTHING!

Varik · 26-03-2015 3:23pm

Going to give the krieg or whatever his name is a go first as I've the others all leveled to at least 50.

Think my main was up to the older limit.

Some game, firsts time on second play through we went after the end boss about 8 levels too early. Stubbornness meant we didn't quit and try later but instead spent 3+ hours fighting him. Went back later and easily soloed him.

Yup, this is why I ended up with like 4 characters around the teens/mid 20s last time cause I'd be playing with different groups of friends

I played as Zero before and didn't like him initially but some of the other guys were saying he becomes insane good later in his skill tree

Surely someone would let you borrow the discs just for the purposes of levelling up?

Bl2 was on PS plus any chance you had it from that.

If you're really stuck you could change you psn password to a temp on and get someone on boards to do it for you by giving them the account details and sending them the save files.

Ah, makes no odds really. Was going to start new characters for both games anyway (will try Krieg for BL2 and Jack for TPS). Just means when I do get them levelled up I'll not be able to swap over legendary/seraph weapons between characters. If I did still have my Sal save from BL2 chances are I wouldn't have bothered playing through the game again. At least this forces me out of my comfort zone.

Is Badass Rank recorded across all your characters or what? (dumb question i know but it's been like 2 years)

Yup. The Badass Ranks are linked to you as the player rather than your character, so they apply to all characters.

calex71 · 26-03-2015 4:18pm

Being reported that there are serious issues with FPS in especially in split screen and in open areas of TPS

Another major one for me is many are reporting BAR not transferring with last gen saves which is a major concern for me, mine was 100k in BL2 when I checked my toons earlier in the week.

And a 13gb day one patch fixes none of these , 10 gb for the TPS DLC and a 3gb for BL2.

The Pre-sequel looks fantastic on PS4. The only issue I have so far is the loot info popups are really bright for some reason, to the point where some text colours are harder to read. Happening to anyone else?

Haven't played that one yet but it's similar in BL2 on Xbox One. More more noticeable on blue an higher rated loot. How are you finding the screen tearing? For me it seems to be more noticeable in Sanctuary.

Only been playing TPS so far, but haven't really noticed any yet.

TitianGerm · 31-03-2015 11:06pm

I'm picking up the Handsome collection tomorrow. Should I start off with TPS or BL2 ? Also what's the best class for a beginner to pick first of all ?

Start with BL2 for sure. It's the best, and was also released first.

As for which class to start with, there's no real right answer. Axton (Commando) is probably the best all rounder. That being said, I favour Sal (Gunzerker). A lot of fun to play as and can become a walking tank and destroy everything. Maybe check out some videos of each class and see what takes your fancy.

Mickeroo · 01-04-2015 10:02am

I went with Zero in BL2 because I like sniper rifles and going invisible and stabbing people. And went with Athena in the Pre-Sequel.

TitianGerm · 01-04-2015 10:19am

Cool thanks lads. Was leaning towards the Commando guy but I'll have a better look later on.
May put a few hours in Friday seen as I'm off

Commando is a great all rounder, and was the first one I took to Lvl50. But because he's an all-rounder, he doesn't really specialise in either offense or defense. Can make things more difficult much later in the game at Lvl50 and above.

Pick whichever one the 3 other lads on X-Box One who are sick of Destiny are not using. That way everyone still gets their Co-Op shooter Fix

Ha fair point. I haven't even been tempted to turn on Destiny since I stopped. I'll only be back for House of Wolves.

5, the collection comes with the dlc.

Went zero and athena, zero is great up to level 50 but gets hard after that and you really need good gear. The melee doesn't really work well and then around 55 everything you've got from lvl 50 is useless (lvl 50 bee is pointless).

Try gaige

The joy I felt when I got a Lvl61 Bee for my Gunzerker... DPUH in each hand, Bee Shield (with decent recharge and damage)... Everything dies almost instantly

Got Athena to around Lvl35 or so too on PS3. She's pretty great to play as too. Absorbing all front damage is the business. Playing as Jack at the minute though. Dopplegangers are pretty lethal. Almost have the skill tree filled to get the Badass DigiJacks too.

Did you quote the right post dude cause I'm not sure what the 2 points have got to do with each other

Back when I played BL2 though I tried The Psycho, Assassin and mainly used the Gunzerker to finish the campaign

TitianGerm · 01-04-2015 10:51pm

Went with GunZerker after. Not sure if I like it though. Got to level 15 after joining one of the guys on my friends list who was doing some high level stuff with Witchdoctors in it.
Is there an actual Thread for The Handsome Collection as I'm completely lost

There is a fairly good Borderlands 2 thread here. There is a fair bit of info in it.

There you will find everything you ever wanted to know and more besides.

The commando is handy because you don't need to actively do anything to utilise his special - just hit a button and the turret kills stuff.

DirtyBollox · 02-04-2015 10:35am

Anyone bother with shift codes for this?

If so the one below gives you 25 keys.
555JT-6TTX5-SFBKT-HTW33-T3F3T - ps3 and ps4
KKWBJ-6B5FJ-3JJBT-JBBJB-WWH6X - pc
555JT-6TTT9-KCFJX-CXT33-T3FBC - xbox 360 and 1

Used it about a week ago and it worked fine.

Can get them from here

Generic Dreadhead · 02-04-2015 10:42am

When do you guys use these, I used to use like 1 or 2 every 4 or 5 levels of so

DirtyBollox · 02-04-2015 10:45am

I've used about 3. Really want to get some great purple gear and moonstone grind it into something awesome! But i get sidetracked..

For max results out of them you wait until max level and then burn them all, but ain't no one got time for that. Just burn a couple whenever you feel your weapons are underpowered for your level.

I'd wait every 10 levels. I wouldn't use one unless I was at least level 15. But that was when the game only came out and they were not handing out bunches of 20 like they are now.

Even though I finished Borderlands 2 on the 360 when it was released I'm really enjoying playing through again on PS4, haven't even touched the Pre-Sequel yet.
