VictorSempra Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Time for ze thread! So, this game is getting a lot of mixed reviews. Mostly what I see, is "It's just a re-skin of Borderlands 2". I disagree. There are MANY quirk and oddities about BTPS that differentiate it from the other two. Namely of course, the lack of gravity, and the laser weapon type/Cryo element. I'm absolutely in love with this game, and I'm about three bosses from the end. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=77IR2fjgMBU Let us discuss.

VictorSempra Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I'm actually stuck on my current playthough on one of the bosses. It's basically Bunker from Borderlands 2 all over again, except slightly more aggravating. I just can't beat it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face McShooty Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 it's Borderlands 2's difficulty with Borderlands 1's ingenuity, its an amazingly fun game.... not very far into it right now, but I love the grinder, the low gravity mechanics and the cryo weapons. Cryo weapons make for some fun quick kills it's Borderlands 2's difficulty with Borderlands 1's ingenuity, its an amazingly fun game.... not very far into it right now, but I love the grinder, the low gravity mechanics and the cryo weapons.

Cryo weapons make for some fun quick kills The Grinder was a nice touch, for a better chance at getting better weapons. Love the increased rate in Moonstone as well, so much better than Eridium. The gravity makes for fun times, Im still trying to get the 360 no-scope achievement :P There's n amazing Cryo weaponout there called 'Excalibastard', that's a nice Cryo Laser. Once I beat the game, I'mma have some fun with that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face McShooty Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 haven't tried the 360 no-scope trophy (PS3) yet, but I imagine with the cryo sniper rifle I have, it should be a breeze Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorSempra Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 haven't tried the 360 no-scope trophy (PS3) yet, but I imagine with the cryo sniper rifle I have, it should be a breeze Probably the easiest way to do it. The rest are easy Achievements so far. (I also bought the Guidebook though, so the rest will be a breeze :P) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face McShooty Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I almost bought the strategy guide today... I should've.... who's your favorite character in this one? I'm liking Nisha, she's such a badass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorSempra Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I almost bought the strategy guide today... I should've.... who's your favorite character in this one? I'm liking Nisha, she's such a badass So far I've exclusively played Wilhelm, and tried each of his trees. Hunter-Killer is the best thus far, and I'm gonna mix in some of Dreadnought for survivability. Played a tad of Athena with a friend (he played Claptrap). I HATE Athena's action skill, and Claptrap was hilarious to watch. My second playthrough I'mma do as Nisha, she seems fun. And the gude gives GREAT ideas on how to build.

Face McShooty Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 who has been your favorite character in all three? DLC included Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VictorSempra Posted November 3, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 who has been your favorite character in all three? DLC included Honestly, out of everything....probably Lillith from BL1. She jsut had the best flow and playstyle for me. Second would be Axton (Commando from BL2) when I felt like being lazy cause the turret could do all the work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face McShooty Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 BL1 my main was Brick, BL2 my main up until both DLC characters were released was Sal, after the DLC; Krieg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Face McShooty Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I like both Snipers and SMGs, my favorite sniper rifle of all time has to be the Volcano... I was popping Bandits and Skags left and right in BL2 with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our favorite was the Hornet, that pistol was so great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Face McShooty Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 I remember in BL1, me and a buddy of mine were co-op playing, he worked alot so he said I could go ahead and he'd catch up on his days off, well I made it to playthrough 2, so when him and I were both playing, we played on playthrough one and I was one-shot killing EVERYTHING with a sniper... I even one-shot killed Bonehead, it was awesome Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shradow Posted November 3, 2014 Report Share Posted November 3, 2014 Krieg was...meh. I felt he couldn't survive very well. Have you played Krieg? Because as him, I was pretty much immortal. I one shot just about everything with melee (at least in normal and TVHM), which instantly fully healed me, and whenever I activated his action skill below 1/3 health, it instantly healed me and granted me damage resistance in addition to what it already did, and when it ended the cooldown was over immediately. I could infinitely chain action skills together and never die. I solo'd every raid boss in the game as Krieg, except Terramorphous because he could just knock me off the map and I couldn't do much about it. And that was just the Mania tree, before I went into Hellborn as well. Athena and her Phalanx skill tree in this game is awesome, too. I'm pretty much immortal using it because whenever I use my shield (cd of 11 seconds) I gain stupidly fast health/shield regen in addition to complete damage immunity in front of me, and I can kill pretty much everything with the shield throw at the end since it lasts so long and can absorb so much damage, which hits multiple targets.

Athena makes a better tank than Wilhelm imo. Free immunity, aoe dps and status effects, and the ability to mob control is pretty fucking great. I love playing her. FR4G-TP still my fav tho.
