Borderlands : A New Beginning

[Lupe]

Main turn-off for me in this game is how the guys keep respawning so it's non-stop XP it's fucking stupid.

I found that annoying too, but if they didn't do that traveling would get boring as FUCK

I keep reading about how badass Roland and Brick are, I think I'm getting screwed playing as Mordecai. I'm fucked when they attack me unless I have a vehicle around. I don't think Mordecai is much of a solo character anyway...but he's still fun

mordecai kills shit from a distance and or/with his revolvers.

those swooping birds, use a shotgun. mows em down hardcore.

my brick is lvl 11. About to head into arid hills (where you get the sniper rifle parts, etc) if I remember correctly. Won't be home till 7EST though. fuckin work

lol and yeah lupe, stuff like those Skags keep spawning until you clear enough of them out.

the low level stuff that tries to ambush me on teh way back or out of town, just melee it down.

also I HIGHLY RECOMMEND you purchase the storage deck's (SDU's) from the ammo shop place. They help bigtime because they let you hold more ammo. and it appears, that the dungeons get really large and ammo becomes somewhat scarce. (sledge's safehouse took a good 30 minutes to clear with me as a siren and a bud as a hunter.)

oh and you guys who got it for ps3, that sucks.

I'm glad I got it for xbox. :tiptoe:

Yeah, it's not so much the standard guys that fuck me up it's the birds, I'll have to try a shotgun on them. Most of the normal enemies without a shield I can kill in one shot with a headshot, other than the Bruisers (I think that's their name) and anything that is "Badass".

The ammo thing is a good point, that's probably the most important thing to spend your money on early on. You can really blow through a ton of ammo before you realize it. It's not as huge a deal with me as Mord because the rifle I have now has a 3 shot clip and I've upgraded it to hold 80 (I think) bullets but when I have to use a SMG or something other than my rifle they just chew through ammo like mad.

I'll definitely be on probably 6pm EST - 10-11 so whenever you get on just invite me or something and we can pwn shit. My Mordecai is 13 and in the same area as your Brick. Not sure if my POS headset is going to work or not but either way nbd, we can still dominate.

 

[mfbmike]

Sounds good.

Definitely fun with a mic though.

But yeah, bust out the shotgun and as they swoop in, BOOM. Tears em up.

Mordecai is rediculous though. You land 1 good shot on someone and their hp drains bigtime. I'm used to FPS's on pc though. Hard for me to snipe well with the xbox controller right now lol. Gotta get used to it more.

 

[BazookaJoe5]

I can probably get it working, just be ready for a constant stream of f-bombs if last night was any indication. Fucking 6 Skags rushing me pisses me the hell off LOL.

lol @ this achievement

You're on a boat!: I bet you never thought you'd be here. (15G)

I picked this up yesterday (last copy for the 360 they had) after work and have fallen in love.

If anyone needs another player in their co-op, shoot me a request. Right now I'm level 12 (I think) with Roland and just finished the quest with Bonehead.

 

[mfbmike]

i'll add you tonight blunt.

rofl joe, yeah dude. Skags swarm the fuck outta you. What's crazy is that in multiplayer, the waves of enemies are larger. they drop a ton more ammo though which is pretty sweet.

multiplayer is amazingly fun in this game. just exploring/clearing shit with other people in a FPS setting.

don't know if you have done sledge's safehouse yet, but after getting in there and clearing it with someone, I realized just how BA this game is.

:bow:

 

[BazookaJoe5]

Oh shit what is Brick shooting around 1:00? Do want Those Alpha Skags are a PITA.

I added you as well bluntside.

 

[mfbmike]

Brick is shooting "T.K.'s wave." It shoots blue orbs lol.

It's a quest reward. I think it's from a sidequest in skag gully iirc.

This is going to be my Brick spec.

:bow:

 

[Lupe]

The mfer at 16 seconds in that video took all my ammo to kill one time. I was running around in circles sniping him and shit it was crazy.

I sold that shit I shot it at a dude and I was like WTF die. That gun is on some crack it sucks ass.

I accidently wandered over where he hangs out way too early and found out the hard way how tough he is. The pisser is when I retreated into town and he followed to kill me, he was waiting there for me when I respawned. I ended up running a ways out to let him kill me so he would hang out there.

Of course, when I was a proper level taking him on, he wasn't that tough.

 

[Juggernaut]

That flaming skag was like a charizard lol

Fucker took so long to kill

 

[Lupe]

fuck. I go to the other side of the map thinking I have to smash the gate there then I look and it's on the other side of the map. ughhhh

 

[BazookaJoe5]

Marley and Moe are two bastard ass Skags.

Also, I don't think I've said fuck so many times to a video game as I did during that Gladiator style arena quest, where you fight the waves of Skags. Especially the Alpha Skags, fucking annoying as hell.

 

[mfbmike]

rofl, you need help? I'm level 17 on my brick and have to do both of those quests.

 

[BazookaJoe5]

I got them after like 10 mins each but I'm on now if you need some help with them too lol.
