I can't even imagine trying to localize a game like this- almost everything is a Western pop culture reference of one manner or another.

TheGreatGildersneeze posted:Wait, what? Which quests are these? I've never had important quest items go down a cliff unless it was a "kill this kind of monster for these things" and that just entailed "find another of that kind of monster to kill." And that only happened with flying monsters, like Rakks or Buzzards. The quest where pickup the Ellie Statues after you build the Bandit Technical, one of the quest cars literally threw itself off a cliff and took the item with it. Can't remember which quest this is, but I killed the item holder near a ledge and the item went off the ledge and landed on a pipe I cannot jump down to (I die about 5 feet above it). And the Mutated Varka, I died, respawned and ran to where it was, gone. I explored all of that map, I found Anarchy symbols before I found the Mutated Varka

Yeah, just restart your mission and the guys with the Ellie ornaments will spawn again. No big. The Mutated Varkids are ones you create so you can make as many as you want. Go stab some more cocoons with TMNT ooze!

I killed the warrior a few times tonight for items. Is there a way to get at items that his corpse is laying on? I've had to run through hero's pass again just to make his body disappear so I could get at them. Am I missing something?

The only way is to leave the vault and run through all those hyperion dudes again to get back. So its not really worth it unless he's sitting on a legendary.

In my TVHM playthrough, I had the second of the four assassins fall into an abyss when I thoughtlocked a Super Badass Psycho and the temporary ally knocked him off the platform in the one spot that there was no railing. Save and quit, return to the game, the quest item was on the ground and I didn't have to beat either of the first two assassins again (I had not shut down my 360 yet; YMMV). So it's not like Fallout 3 where some quests are impossible to finish due to glitches--at least in my experience.

Finally found an Unhinged Hoarder mod - thing gives 5 to Lay Waste and 4 to 5 Shots or 6. Thus, I changed my loadout to THIS. After playing around with it for a few hours I didn't once encounter the weird bug where one of the guns just won't reload unless you actually hit the reload button while Gunzerking. So maybe it's just Inconceivable that does it? I dunno. Anyways it's great- fast fast fast fire rates and basically a constant bonus from Divergent Likeness as well as 5 Shots sometimes giving me a ridiculous amount of bullets in a clip (still seem to be unloading the mags fast enough that Locked and Loaded is pretty much always on). Was hesitant to move away from the Berserker mod, but I mean I barely ever run out of 'Zerk with this build anyway. Next thing to try is an Altered Beast mod build, since I just picked up a purple one when I killed Saturn. Is Come At Me Bro worth it? Seems kinda underwhelming compared to the other two bottom-tree skills...

So far I've totally ignored the Brawn tree because it's full of things that are extra health/shields/moving instead of shooting ludicrous amounts of ammunition. Pass.

Because I also had one Ellie statue go flying off a cliff... and when it did, my quest objective became collect five statues. I completed the quest normally from there without having to save and quit.

Here's what I have to decide on: My commando that has all achievement-related challenges past rank 1 except for Jimmy Jenkins, or my assassin that has Jimmy Jenkins completed but a lot of other challenges that haven't gotten rank 1 yet. I'm guessing that I could hop on the assassin and finish all of these challenges before my commando would even see Jenkins once.

Feeble posted:Just think of it as revenge for Japan doing the same thing. I remember watching some anime series back when I actually enjoyed it and the main gag was that almost every other line was a reference to japanese pop culture or an obscure japanese pun. I think part of FF7's appeal in the US was the terrible translation job making everything more mysterious and psuedo-intellectual because it was so obscure. That doesn't work in humor though so sucks for the Japanese. It would be pretty fun to play a BL2: Rising Sun expansion that used Japanese pop culture references that wasn't just samurai and geisha but some modern stuff too. Angel is basically one of those holographic j-pop stars anyway.

Yeah, I realize that. That's why it registered with me. Usually I kind of ignore what they are saying, just because the action gets so intense. I wish there were subtitles on what they said, sometimes you can't hear it under all the gunfire.

on 360, trying to track down another conference call (i have a scalable one) and a bee shield with over 20k capacity. Not sure if we could simply duplicate or something, tired of farming for one. spent the past two days fighting the warrior and that dude who drops the bee, no luck. as for orange stuff i have that i'd give/duplicate... core logan's gun, resource invader, sledge's shotgun, lobbed electric leech, homing pandemic, and lobbed fire bee. all level 50. gamertag: NotAok i'd also be willing to assist in quests because i have no friends  thanks!

Do sniper rifles really decrease in usefulness in TVHM? I'm up to Opportunity and rarely use my sniper. Enemies have so much health that headshots don't do significant damage anymore. I'm finding raipd-fire guns or anything Tediore to be the best.

I have 21 points in it with a Neogenator and I am literally indestructible. I regenerate a couple thousand health per second and a ton of damage resistance with a massive health bar. Any time something threatens to kill me I just gunzerk and get all my health back... and if I'm really in a bad spot and almost die again I flip everyone the bird and regen to full again.  It's of questionable use in PL1 but in PL2 where you die much faster it suddenly becomes amazing.

A good sniper rifle can still headshot kill most non-badass/boss stuff in one shot at 50, but I rarely find myself wanting to spend that much setup time. There were a few spots I still liked it, the area leading up to Mad Mike being an example but for the most part I found myself using a lot of pistols and SMGs.

I think I like Gun Lust the best so far. Rampage is great, but the amount of bonus damage Gun Lust gives you with No Kill like Overkill, Money Shot and Keep it Piping Hot is insane. I used a blue, 30-ish shotgun on a pirate last night and it did 137k damage on the last shot. Right now I'm using an e-tech electricity SMG and an e-tech slag SMG. You definitely take a survivability hit, but being able to Gunzerk in FFYL makes it a lot easier to pull Second Winds when needed.

You know, I just had a thought of who I would like to see as a playable character (either as DLC or in a future Borderlands): The founder (or founders) of S&S Munitions, who have come to Pandora to reclaim their fortunes from the bandits that put them out of business.
