he1ixx posted:I am playing through this now and I must be a total mark because a) I like Ava and the bits of story they scatter around. b) I don't mind paying for a season pass because it adds more content. I have been having a total blast with this game over the last week and I think Ava was pretty ok. Tina still annoys the bejesus out of me but that was to be expected. The jokes and references they scattered around actually made me laugh in a few parts as opposed to BL2 which made me wince often. Do you happen to enjoy the television sitcom called "The Big Bang Theory" by any chance?

Sometimes there are good season passes (like BL 2) and sometimes there are bad season passes (like most everything call of duty ever release) And then there are complete poo poo season passes that transcend all opinions and is just universally wrong. What they put in the season pass 2 shouldn't even be in season pass 1. It should be in the base game. It's not DLC content. It's just a patch.

CaptainSarcastic posted:How do you feel about Dawn in Buffy the Vampire Slayer? Haven't seen that show either but I hear it gets good after a few seasons. I am surprised by how long this game is. Been playing for quite a while and still unlocking vaults. I also tried a few of those Arms Race things solo and feel like its something I am going to do a bunch once I finish the story. I don't know what this game's end-game is going to be like but I am still engaged by the story which I'm shocked by. I broke out laughing when the ICE-T-voiced character made their appearance. Good game.

Got this game during the winter sale and just finished the story with a FL4K Fade Away build. Found a Hellwalker at level 13 (125x10 damage w/ + critical damage %) that I continued to use all the way through the end of the story which made most of it pretty trivial. Only now am I starting to find other shotguns that have comparable damage to this thing and it's still one shotting trash and handling badasses in a Fade Away. Is the Hellwalker just super OP or...? Anyway, despite the terrible menus and somewhat meh story, the game was still a lot of fun. The new mechanics (primarily slide & climb) felt great. My question is, "what now?" I'm currently sitting at level 36. I skipped almost all the side quests, so I could start with those, but IIRC from BL2 it's better to wait until level 50 for those that have unique rewards in order to maximize the item level. Should I turn on Mayhem levels now, or wait until 50? I've read some advice to leave Mayhem off and just do certain boss/area runs until 50 before worrying about Mayhem. When should I start TVHM? Is all the advice I'm reading w.r.t level 50 now changed to level 65 (even w/ no DLC and in normal mode)? Grinding all the way to 65 as opposed to 50 before really doing anything else seems like it would be quite tedious.

Slaughter Shaft or Slaughterstar 5000 is probably gonna be the quickest way to do that, and they're honestly some of the more fun endgame activities.

First time playing Borderlands 3, still making my way through the main storyline, but I heard/read up on that mayhem thing that you can trigger afterwards and I've been wondering: is it feasible to take Eridian Fabricator, crank it up to let's say mayhem 6 (doubt I'd want 10 since it sounds like crazy difficulty, but 6 sounds interesting due to some legendaries being locked behind it), then make Fabricator cough up some decentish guns and go from there? Or will the fact that I won't be at level cap yet and general unfamiliarity with what mayhem brings make me super dead. Also is it true that gold chest rewards don't get mayhem scaling?

Not being able to use grenades directly is the price you pay for having a second action skill equipped He has some skills that will auto use them though, which can be relevant for activating effects

The Fabricator, while really funny and neat, actually kind of sucks at dropping good loot.

I mostly played at Mayhem level 6 because it unlocked the Legendaries but didn't turn everything into a total bullet-sponge. I also started using a save editor because I hate bullet sponges and could just edit my gear up as needed. Some of the late-game balance is totally hosed. Vehicles in particular become glass cannons except for the cannon part - their damage drops off spectacularly while they become totally fragile. I got in the habit of jumping out of my vehicle, one or two-shotting whatever enemy was around, then hopping back in. Otherwise the vehicle won't survive the encounter and I'd be stuck hoofing it across a huge map.

Yeah I'm umming and ahhing if I should bother doing the same with the other characters - having my pet revive me all the time because the incoming damage can get super crazy was a crutch I'm not sure I could do without ( Also I don't remember the respective builds I was using at the time ).

So I'm a little confused with Fl4k's skill trees and pets so I'm going to have to ask a dumb question. Are the trees only applicable to the pets that are at the top of the trees in the menu? For instance: Can I use the Master skill tree and have it's effects in use while using the Spiderant? Again, dumb question but I appreciate any help; thank you. edit: What I'm trying to get at is I want to build the Master skill tree and use my Spiderant. Will the effects of the Master tree be in use while I have the Spiderant pet in use? LostMy2010Accnt fucked around with this message at 12:22 on Jan 13, 2021 |

Much better than simply tossing them.

You can either only equip one action skill or give up the ability to sling grenades. Duct Tape Mod had been mentioned, you can also get a skill that makes the Clone throw a grenade for you, and one for the drive to periodically drop one.

I’m barely a gamer, I’ve played like 4 games in the last 5 years. Bl2 forever, some 3, Skyrim till I was level 80 several times. Beat slime rancher and stardew valley. Wife has buncha games but I’ve narrowed it down between Monster Hunter and like Witcher 3, what do you recommend?

Bought the base game on EGS for  and enjoyed it enough to play through the main story on two characters. Humble bundle had the ultimate edition half off (cost me less than buying the season passes individually) so I redeemed it for the steam version. Which dlc should I play first?

Guns, Love, and Tentacles is a solid Lovecraft pastiche. I wasn't as sold on Bounty of Blood as some others - Borderlands has always been a space Western to a greater or lesser extent, so it didn't feel all that fresh to me.

I think I liked Bounty of Blood the best just because it wasn't bogged down by returning characters and excessive Borderlands humor. It almost felt like a little trip back to the more muted tone of the first game.
