Apparently it takes 58 hours to complete the game

thats longer than it took me to beat Half Life 1 first time.

skill tree builder. Use it to plan out your leveling

[Jake55778]

Salvador looks pretty interesting. If it's anything like the first game everyone's abilities should scale based on their level. All well and good at first, but eventually you hit the level cap, and the enemies keep on getting stronger. You're still doing lvl 50 damage, but now you're fighting lvl 61 enemies. Eventually special abilities become worthless and it's all about the guns. Dual wielding sounds like it'll stay potent the whole way through, and be especially destructive when applied to some of the rarer guns.

[Wildwill002]

They will probably do what they did with number 1. Y'know, release extra content that increase level cap.

Also first thing I'm gonna do is try and get 2 turrets then (If level cap is increased enough) aim for double turrets with missiles.

[Darktaint]

with axton I grabbed all the kill skills first due to not knowing how long the cd on the turret is. Then I'm not relying on the turret for damage.

[Wildwill002]

On pretty much any game with turrets I'll always go for the turrets to compensate for my shocking aim

[J4Numbers]

<- has pre-ordered.
Life is now complete.

DarkTaint???

Glad to see you around!

I've almost got a build figured out for maya, not a powerhouse of damage or a phaselock master, but should be an excellent all rounder that can keep others in the fight.

Planning on picking up the first Borderlands to co-op through with my dad. Don't know what class yet.... but for 2 zero looks badass.

[Jake55778]

Okay, so Borderlands 2 comes out on the 20th, I go back to college on the 27th. That gives me one week of uninterrupted destruction. Now all I need are some co-op partners.

[J4Numbers]

Welp, I know that Beard, Haxx, Flux, and Taint already have their own game planned.

I'm game for another co-op group should it ever spring up.
<-- going for Zero fyi

[Tehbeard]

Got to play it at a pre launch party @ kerrang! radio yesterday.

HOLY BALLS ITS GOOD. Seen the first two bosses and the start area.

Cannot wait for it come out now

[aeroeng15]

Just pre-ordered! Up for co-op, but school might make it difficult.

Opening Sequence = EPIC BAD ASSERY

[vallorn]

So England (and the rest of that continent). It should be past your midnight releases for this now.

How is it?

[Blackadder51]

My dick is diamonds after playing this game.

[J4Numbers]

<-- Has college...
Need the fix, but can't get it for another 2 hours...
Torture I tell you, Torture

[Jake55778]

Played 4 hours so far, currently level 10. Found an awesome pistol with the tag "Monty don't take no guff" (gold rarity).

[Blackadder51]

This game, just wow. The animation is fantastic, I have never seen enemies react to bullets so well.

If your under Lvl 13 really small spoiler

Spoiler! :

You need to play Rage then, best reaction animations of any game to date. Borderlands 2 is nice, but it doesn't compare.

Having played a little further I'm starting to find a few things annoying if I'm honest.
-Gun chests seem rarer than the first game, instead you're expected to root through way more small & miscellaneous containers for loot. It's just extra busy-work.
-This is an RPG first, and a shooter second. No matter how good a shot you are, if you get too outleveled by your opponents you're screwed. Keeping up means doing sidequests from the clunky, outdated quest system.
-Last hits are a terrible way to determine whether you get a second wind. Although at least this time around you can move slightly, and it doesn't mess with your aim as much.
-Golden keys. I was under the impression they'd be attainable in-game. Why make a big shiny chest, right in the middle of town, that can only be opened once, and only if you preordered? Apparently they'll be giving away more keys via twitter, but it just seems like a stupid system. I imagine they'll throw some in as incentives to buy the DLC too. It's not as bad as making people pay for guns, but it's not such a difficult leap to imagine.
-Inventory is too small (and expensive to upgrade) and shops are too infrequent. But I guess that's deliberate to stop you from just selling absolutely everything

Okay some of those are nitpicks, and overall I still really like the game, but it's definitely a continuation of the first Borderlands warts and all.

[SneakyPie]

Yeah I was under the impression that with every new character you would get a gold key to use. Oh well.

Also, I've been finding tons of Erridium so backpack upgrades haven't been too annoying to get.

All in all a great game. I really enjoy the humor throughout it as well.

[Blackadder51]

Wait its one gold key and thats it?

Well fuck, I wasted mine. Been playing all night and saw the green chest and opened it by accident at 5:30am.

Whats everyone playin as?

I'm playing as a siren, going for Sniper and SMG. (I tried the assassin, he annoyed me.)

[J4Numbers]

Assassin here.
Sniper, Shotgun, and Rifle, go figure.

[aeroeng15]

Siren with sniper and shotgun/pistol.

[Jake55778]

Gunzerker with Assault rifles, pistol, and rocket launcher. Two rocket launchers in the case of bosses . Oh and for grenades I use longbow slag + transfusion. They're great, I can heal and weaken enemies while keeping my distance, I've kept using them despite having higher damage grenades available.
