what orange items have you gents encountered so far?

Flynt dropped an orange electric pistol for me

9/20/2012 11:27:51 AM

I got an Orange Hornet pistol right off the first encounter with the Bullymong that had Claptraps's eye.

I never played the first one, but I'm kind of curious about this game.

Do I NEED to have played the first?

9/20/2012 3:53:57 PM

noooooope

if you're talking real world time just hit shift+tab to bring up the steam overlay. in game time idk.


sooooo. turns out that theres a folder in the pc version called DLC or something. and inside that folder is an ini file. and in that ini file you can give yourself the existing preorder bonus items AND set the number of golden keys you have. golden keys are used to unlock a mystery chest in sanctuary that gives you 2 random purps for your level every time you open it. if you want to totally break the game balance you can give yourself a pile of keys and just get all sorts of good items.

Of course this is what I am talking about. I do not want to have to leave the game to check the time like in Diablo 3.

9/20/2012 4:56:27 PM

yeah shift+tab dude. steamoverlay's pretty quick. idk if there are any mods for the game to put it right on the ui yet.

9/20/2012 6:15:24 PM

I play the game with a 360 controller, that just to much work

9/20/2012 7:25:52 PM

theres probably a shortcut for controllers (you may have to set it up) but for reals thats some shameful shit

9/20/2012 11:39:22 PM

if you're that lazy, cell phone in the lap seems like the best route

9/20/2012 11:50:01 PM

This game is quite a bit tougher than the original. Not being able to carry health with you has made for some hairy situations.

9/21/2012 7:08:43 AM

that's one of the benefits of the gunzerker class - you get too low just use your special ability

9/21/2012 7:54:07 AM

I've been using the phaselock ability where killing an enemy in phaselock releases health orbs. It's kept me alive. Also, it really is useful to phaselock the badasses and handle the chumps.

9/21/2012 7:59:19 AM

I like the gameplay so far, I just wish I had more control and ability to dodge things.

The control can also get sticky in spots where it shouldn't be and I really don't like the jump mechanic.

I really like the leveling system and the stat systems. The humor is great as well.

This is coming from someone who never touched the original.

But yeah, my biggest beef is the controls. I don't feel 'in control' enough. I am playing gunzerker.

9/21/2012 10:03:01 AM

there are definitely some wierd movement issues. like alot of the time i'll hold back and it will go back a tiny bit and stop. then i relase back, hold it down again and it goes back as expected. idk what the deal is but its really annoying when trying to back off enemies while shooting.

9/21/2012 10:26:07 AM

I wish there were a quick side dash for when the bullymongers jump or throw things.

9/21/2012 10:44:24 AM

or if jumping back worked, that'd be nice too

9/21/2012 11:10:21 AM

*spoilers*


So, any negative consequences to having the constructor bot that has Roland in a shielded cage getting away with him?

That "fight" was absolutely ridiculous. I didn't go in prepped with nothing but electric weapons and the few I did have didn't even scratch the surface of the shields. Would have been impossible to free him before the constructor bot flew away.

9/22/2012 4:55:58 PM

**spoiler**

^ i thought the bot grabs him out of jail and then takes them to the end of dam. At the end you have the fight the bot that took him. It summons like 3 random bots. It took me a few waves but then i broke out my rocket launcher and lit it up.

9/22/2012 5:54:00 PM

Well if you don't beat it in enough time it will take him even further away. To the dust map IIRC.

Just couldn't break the shields.

the first time this happened I was like "whoa, what was that!?" then I remembered reading about that hear and I laughed

no, you physically CAN'T catch him in the first part, i sprinted the entire way and the bot teleports to the end.

you CAN lose the first fight, that you run out of time and you have to go to the dust and rescue him from a prison there.

the first time i did the first fight with a friend and we were unable to drop the 3 super badass bots he summoned and kill him in time. we took turns dying and reviving and just ran out of time.

9/24/2012 9:24:32 AM

**spoiler**

so the AI side quest was really cool. I turn him as a gun and whenever i use the gun he is in full commentary, fucking hilarious.

9/24/2012 5:43:24 PM

so i got an orange shotgun that does the throw on reload thing. only instead of becoming a grenade the gun becomes a seeker missile that flies arround shooting at enemies until it explodes. lol this game.

9/24/2012 7:23:09 PM

about to do the mission where you blow up the train.

really loving this game right now.

9/24/2012 7:48:20 PM

^^you on the 360?

9/24/2012 9:45:22 PM

picked up 4 copies for $100...

9/24/2012 11:25:34 PM

im on steam. (pc)

9/27/2012 7:42:24 PM

started playing the game today. Kept getting instant crashes on steam, but finally figured that it was related to my .net shit. The .net exe's included with the game didn't seem to work, but it worked flawless on my laptop.

9/29/2012 3:15:01 AM

Man look at that perfect example of CPU scaling:

9/29/2012 12:25:20 PM

NERD ALERT

9/29/2012 12:28:25 PM

glad this sequel actually delivered on the hype, as opposed to D3.

i'm confident this will be my favorite game of the year.

9/29/2012 1:31:40 PM

its based on unreal engines and they have always been more cpu intensive than just gpu. But either way, BL2 isn't exactly a huge number cruncher game.

9/29/2012 4:19:43 PM

So I'm doing the Blood shots/Roland mission and I've made it all the way through the compound to the waypoint when I see a fast travel station. I figure I can pop back to Sanctuary, sell off my inventory, and buy some ammo. I go to Sanctuary to do my thing only to have no option for that location when I want to pop back. I knew should have finished the mission first. Now, I have to fight my way back through the compound.

9/30/2012 9:42:06 AM

Yeah, be careful about that. Several locations have one-way fast travel points; they have a holographic sign above with with a No U-Turn symbol on them, but it would be nice if they had a confirmation warning or something when you use them.

9/30/2012 4:16:54 PM

i learned that lesson the hard way, as well. but luckily i was able to get back without killing everything twice since it didn't have time to respawn

9/30/2012 4:26:00 PM

wish the bosses didn't respawn :/

can't a man burn a midget in peace?

9/30/2012 6:25:30 PM

They respawned in the last game too as I understand it. Plus, you can try again for more loot.

9/30/2012 6:28:55 PM

I still have yet to see an orange rare item.

9/30/2012 6:48:50 PM

I found two.

9/30/2012 8:00:35 PM

they also need to add more gambling minigames, or the very least more jackpot slots... Like a whole row of them, kinda like new vegas. My friends and I keep fighting over the two in Sanctuary. lol

9/30/2012 8:13:51 PM

I actually found 3 ... I found an Orange shield.

9/30/2012 8:58:23 PM

I think I have 2. Most of my stuff is purple with a couple blues though. I can't find shit for a decent assault rifle. I'm using the same one since level 24 to 33 right now

9/30/2012 9:59:43 PM

Damn it. Three of my friends are nagging me to get this game on 360 so I can join them. I was actively trying to avoid making any more game purchases between now and the time XCOM comes out. Is any place still doing a decent price on the 360 version? Wish I had gotten it for ~$40 when it first came out...

9/30/2012 10:00:44 PM

I'm sure you can still find a special online somewhere.

I've found no orange stuff, a few purples and blues with tons of green.

9/30/2012 11:05:23 PM

I accidentally sold one of my Oranges, but Ill post screen shots of my other ones to my Steam account.
