Borderlands 3

It's funny I have him set up from a previous playthrough so I'm afraid to change anything in case it's important. I have the grog nozzle in one hand and the harold in the other, my mod regenerates bullets I have better damage ones but know this is important.
I have the bee shield but think I only equipped it because it took me ages to get (now that I think of it I think I spent ages getting many of them) Money Shot is in the skill tree 'cos every now and then the sound goes BLAM BLAM BLAM and enemies disappear.

I've boosted characters by myself by just putting them somewhere out of the way then taking down BUNK3R repeatedly. Could get great loot for my higher-level character and the junior character was safe at the entrance. Could pretty easily spam BUNK3R too from a safe spot so he never gave much trouble.

Started BL2 up again last night. Turns out I never got any of my characters up to Lvl72. I have a Sal at 62, another at 61 and a Krieg at around 50. I guess I got my Sal maxed out when the cap was 61 and then just did a few missions after when it was raised again to 72.

Now I'm half tempted to go full-bore into another playthrough. Might do the Fight for Sanctuary at least and see where that gets me to. Maybe then just some of the DLC rather than the full story mode.

Played the first 2 chapters of the DLC and it seems better than the pre-sequel. I laughed at some of the character interactions and the gameplay was good, I may have become distracted by the shiny new textures on my gun following the 4K update but I was enthused.


One issue is that everything that drops is comparatively crap but this is to be expected two chapters in and all the grinding I did on the character. It is counter intuitive though on a loot based shooter.

Just played the first hour of the B2 DLC. This is great! Really enjoying it.

I had no idea there was HD textures for the BL2 until I read this...... So new and shiny....

Playing the DLC got me in a Borderlands mood so I started playing a few random side missions from the Tiny Tina DLC that I never completed. Did the Prince Jeffrey one . Had read about it but never actually played it. Also did one mission which was awful though, skeletons who fry your shield in one hit and keep disappearing after every hit meaning if you get into FFYL it's nearly impossible to get a kill.

Also said I'd try take on Terramorphus solo, as the mission was showing as Level 56 and I'm Lvl64. Sure enough, Terramorphus himself was Lvl66, and both times I tried he knocked me right off the side of the arena with his first hit. Forgot he was such a dick.

Have to say I'm excited for BL3 alright. The Lilith DLC was a good return to form after The Pre-Sequel (which was kinda disappointing and bland).

I found the pre-sequel a good scratch for the itch, but was never permanent. Played it through and finished it, but never maxed characters or really bothered replaying it too much.

Yeah same here. I think I played through it three times (twice as Athena to get her to Lvl50, once as Jack's Double, and I think a bit of Claptrap). It had almost all the ingredients, but it just felt so flat and boring. The humour didn't work at all (I'm sure it was probably hilarious in Australia), the level design was bland (the trouble with setting the entire game on a Moon and in a space station), the enemies were quite bland with not a lot of interesting variation, and some of the side characters were extremely irritating (F*ck you, Pickle. F*ck you. You don't use cockney rhyming slang, and then say the word you're using cockney rhyming slang for right after it).

The Oz mechanic was annoying at the start too, and the only really good thing the game introduced was the Butt-slam, which in fairness was a great addition. Claptrap's action skill for the bit I played as him was fun but I couldn't see myself taking it through the whole story given its randomness.

It's a game that's worth playing for people who loved BL2, but not worth sinking a lot of hours into or repeated playthroughs.

The pre-sequel is underrated I reckon, the humour and accents are class, not being generic American accents is such a huge and enjoyable difference in a game like that.

I'm splitting my time between Crash Team Racing and playing bits of Borderlands 2 again. Spent a while last night farming The Warrior for a Conference Call, as it seems to be the best way to solo the new raid boss in the DLC.

Firstly, since when does killing The Warrior not grant a Second Wind. At least twice I was in FFYL when I hit a killing shot on TW and still died anyway. Didn't make too much of an issue as could still go collect the loot, just annoying. And secondly, the drop rate for any legendary from him seems to be shocking. I only got two legendaries out of maybe 20 kills.

Have switched to the Bar Brawl in Torgues DLC to try farm a new DPUH from a Torgue machine, as my current two are a bit under levelled at this stage.
