Torgue is a good DLC, probably the best one for BL2. His Thanksgiving DLC with the Wattlegobbler is also excellent.

Wattlegobbler is the best holiday DLC by virtue of Grandma Flexington.

Let me clarify things: I am not pro-epic, I'm anti-whiny gamers who review bomb over having to open a game in another launcher.

You're a smug moron. I'm getting this game on PS4 because PC gaming is trash because of exactly this kind of stupid multiple game launchers and shady poo poo from all those companies.

I don't know which grenades are worth using so I always equip the ones that spilt into child grenades that also split into even more child grenades. I basically die whenever I throw them.

It is childish at best and an attempt to harm marginalized indie developers at worst.

Obviously Borderlands falls on the "at best" side of the spectrum, but it's still annoying to check patch notes and immediately be greeted by a bunch of ascii art of middle fingers.


They're not wrong for disliking epic, they're wrong for thinking steam is better.

Steam is a better platform right now. Epic is a barebones publishing platform that includes a launcher. It’s without question better. Take your trolling elsewhere

Mikedawson posted:

Steam has a toxic community, a broken system of reccommending games, and until recently practically had a monopoly on pc gaming. Even if they aren't spying on us (Which is some heavy benefit of the doubt IMO) they're still pretty terrible.

EGS is not some sort of monopoly busting saviour, the games are the same price. The EGS advantage is to developers and their publishing arms not the consumer. If they were keeping the same cut of the game and pricing downwards for the consumer well yeah that would be something serious to consider. Right now it’s just exclusive bullshit and the notion of choice and morons trying to equate steam is just a launcher, the same as EGS.

Today, steam is considerably better than EGS by any metric, period.

I like the Fastball most because sometimes you want something dead as hell and can't wait for a fuse. It's especially great if you take Axton's skill to throw grenades during fight for your life.

It's also :krad: to throw one at a bandit technical that is about to run you over.

Its both. I've chucked many hundreds of them and both died and second winded off the same explosion. Its the only grenade you need.

Edit: Aim half a screen down from your normally centred crosshairs. Shoot the two bastards left standing. Profit.

I prefer the grenades that leave an AoE on the ground for a few seconds, and attempt to use ones that the most repeated enemy in an area is weak against. None of the three games drop enough for that consistently, but it's what I strive for.

Also a few nights ago my buddy came across a gun that shot confetti.

Quasar / Stormfront / fastball / magic missle are the best grenades. I normally use quasars exclusively, unless I spec into :torgue: in which case bonus package all the way.

Athena uses the shock version of those to build stacks of maelstrom, because they continually proc elemental damage.

Forgot what the legendary variant is called.

This reminds me, it is supremely lame that Baroness and Jack appear on the character select screen even if you don't own the dlc.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
The best dlc is tiny tinas because the magic missile grenades are broken as hell forever and even a level 35 one can carry you through uvhm

If you think it sucks because of worse performance or features or business practices, that's fair. But the spyware rumor is bullshit started by someone who doesn't know anything about how software works.

You need a Flame of the Firehawk and a Moxxi weapon to really make it work without dying all the time. Even then, Hellborn is always secondary to Bloodlust in a Gun Krieg build because Bloodbath and Bloodsplosion are always going to be the main source of your damage.

Around the time I'm finishing TVHM, once I had a FOTF, Rubi/Grog, and level-appropriate weapon of each element (except fire) I'd switch to something like this, eventually aiming for this build at 61.

Hellborn is always a supplementary tree because it's all survivability and nearly zero damage.

That. There's a bunch of dialogue that doesn't check what character you're playing, so a lot of people call Maya and Gaige dudes, too.

Poor tannis. She can't even cross a hello with a stranger withouth vomiting blood. Shes petulant but funny. Arrogant but deliver. Shes a sociopath but I don't think has killed anyone and she is capable of empathy somehow.
