Borderlands

I think the game is short on a lot of things.

The vehicle customization is a joke (and really just non-existent), the AI suffers from Far Cray Enemy Super Vision (impossible to sneak anywhere) and enemies are pretty repetitious.

Yeah I forgot about the supervision. It seems I am always looking trying to figure out who is shooting and from where.

[Kamakazie]

I don't mind the super vision. It keeps me from being able to snipekill an entire camp of enemies without them noticing.

I just can't get into it solo and usually that is what I prefer. I don't tend to have a lot of luck though when it comes to drops so I find I am usually having to even just buy ammo I can use while I am 100% full on everything else. I am lucky if I even find a green weapon and usually when I do it is worse than the white one I have equipped.

One thing I was a little disappointed in the game is how the mobs respawn and also how they take damage. If I see one of those skags or whatever they call them there are always 5 more that run from each tunnel. Now I just stand and one shot them as they appear.

Also I was hoping that the humanoid mobs at least would be more sensitive to where they were hit. In my experience I could shoot them in the legs several times and they just keep running at you.

At the price I don't regret the purchase, but I don't know how much I will truly play it. I may wait and see what they release patch wise before I fire it up again.

The farther you get in the game the better. I don't care for making new characters at all. Up until lvl 16ish its hell trying to do anything IMO. But then its a blast. I'm sure even playing with random ppl would make it more fun give that a try. Sure you will run into a couple of a-holes but I've found that most people you find are playing it to have fun and beat it.

Your drops will change if you play multiplayer. The number of drops, and the quality of those drops, will improve as the number of people in your current game increases. It's really playing in a group that makes the game fun.

We need to get some mp only toons going. you know tons that only play when you have a full party.

However I've noticed that missions that give a Pack SDU are only given to the person that turns in teh quest and not the whole party. That sucks.

This is what I've been doing with my group, we have a set of chars that we only play when we are with each other.

Backpack SDUs are definitely distributed to everyone in the game as long as they haven't completed that quest yet. Be sure to check your inventory and use the device as it is not applied automatically.

I didn't get it when flutie turned in a quest last night. Maybe a glitch then.

I can probably make an exclusive character like Brick and catch him up to you guys this weekend with a little motivation - although it would be hard to resist the urge to beat the game. The story isn't exactly engrossing, but there are some elements I'm curious about at this point.

I'm enjoying the game solo and multi. I also enjoy the story, art, and gameplay even if the game is buggy. It's one of the few games that has been able to keep my attention in a while.


Hey Kama, I never got your friend request as my game was frozen when you sent it. =[

I'm at 25 with my hunter...though I leave for Hawaii in 19 hours so I might be 25 for the ext week or so.

[xclite]

I'll try to get a Brick to 25 by the end of next week.

Turns out that the area Sledge is in also made my comp crash after less than a minute.

However, after playing around with graphics settings (turned on AF x2 and shadows, turned off bloom and ambient occlusion, think I changed something else too) the game ran great. Even went back into Skag Gully and finished the quest there with no issues.

It would appear that my crash problem is finally fixed.

Congrats!. now you can join our game.

I forgot to add that i also have a lvl 6 siren. I might play a bit with her tonight and get her up to 12 or so. I hear shes a fun melee character past 10 or so.

Also any hunter players out there? I as going full weapons with regard to skills, but after seeing the amount of empahsis put on each players skill function, I'm thinking about respecing for Bloodwing and sniper damage.
