I don't care about conventional FPSs at all anymore but I love this game. It's hard to point out exactly what it does right because it does pretty much everything right. edit: Shotgun ninja rules, why on earth didn't I ever think of that combination before this game.

I seem to have become permanently overleveled for the story missions, I'm level 25 and they all list level 22. Is that just a natural result of doing every side mission?

What exactly is NG+ like in this game? Do the quests and enemies and loot scale with your level, or are they fixed and just a multiple or something above what they are the first time around?

Monkey Fracas posted:For TVHM which is Playthrough 2 in this game the enemies and loot scale with the quest you are on. The slot machines and shops in Sanctuary scale with the main questline. All of the enemies/loot/shop machines scale with the appropriate quest level for the particular area. UNTIL you beat TVHM, at which point you're in Playthrough 2.5 and everything scales up to 50, everywhere. So, on the third playthrough everything is level 50? Is the game difficult like that, or not?

Xyretire posted:TVHM is True Vault Hunter Mode. It is the second time going through the game with a character. Once you beat TVHM all quests that you haven't picked up as well as all enemies and loot scale up to level 50. This is referred to as PT2.5. There is no third time through the game with a character.

I'm level 26 now and I swear I haven't found a single one of my favorite weapon: corrosive shotguns. I haven't found any in drops or in vending machines, or slot machines for that matter I've found every other kind of shotgun other than that one, and every other kind of corrosive weapon than that one. Are they not in the game or something? edit: I just went through Where Angels Fear to Tread, which is nonstop robots, with the only corrosive weapon I had, Moxxi's Bad Touch. It's a good weapon, but I'm playing as C0unter Strike Zero which means the emphasis is on massive damage at close range with a single shot, a SMG is all wrong for that. It took forever.

40 Proof Listerine posted:If you can find acid cloud or acid bouncing betty grenades, those will do the trick just fine against clumps of loaders, even on TVHM. On the other hand though, I have Moxxi's heartbreaker too, so my anti-flesh shotgun ninja tactics are MORE than taken care of. Moxxi should start her own weapons company.

Not long after I posted, I found an industrial thinking, so my corrosive shotgun problems are solved for the moment. There are so many bandits in sawtooth caldron. So many. I pretty much emptied all my weapons while I was there and they still kept coming, I had to make a dash for the exit while being fired on. I don't think that's ever happened before.

Did anyone else experience a large jump in difficulty around level 27? I sure am. Suddenly a lot of my weapons (which are the same level as me) are doing pretty puny damage to enemies that are also the same level as me, even weapons that they are vulnerable to. I'm both dying and running out of ammo much more frequently. Particularly, in the caustic caverns, there's a badass fire thresher that can basically one-shot me with its burst when it comes up through the ground, so getting past it alive is sheer luck.

The biggest change between 1 and 2 for me (other than fixing many technical problems) is how much more varied and full of personality the weapon manufacturers are.

GANDHITRON posted:Yeah, I like the bandits because everything they say straddles a line between silly and threatening. It's always startling to hear some psycho scream something entirely nonsensical right next to you while you were busy popping away at some nomad. Their weapon names are amazing, too. I was looking through a Japanese wiki to see how they translated the weird-rear end item names and...they didn't, they left them all exactly as is. They didn't even transliterate them into Japanese script. They translated some of the red flavor text but sometimes to something completely different, and sometimes they didn't even bother. With that and the much more generic and less interesting voice acting it's clear that they cheaped out on the localization something fierce. But for item names, I can't even think of how they COULD have localized them effectively, they are just so drat wacky. edit: they also didn't localize any character or enemy names in any way. A lot of people in Japan complain about half-assed localizations like this as why Western games don't take off there, but I guess it's a circular argument.  Also bothersome is how "bonus explosive damage" was just transliterated rather than translated properly, and yet they didn't even go THAT far for the item names.

Has anyone had a problem with chests that won't open, because it never shows the "press X to open" thing no matter where on the box you put the cursor? I have run into that twice I think, most recently the treasure hunting quests in the caustic caverns. I got the unique gun it gives you but that chest that came up out of the ground, I could not get it open. After five minutes of pointing the cursor at every pixel on the box's surface I gave up and left.

I bought the season pass to this game, I've never done that before. I like BL2 that much. Last night I was randomly playing with a Japanese guy, I wanted to hear how the localization was over there, with us simultaneously playing the game but in different languages, that was fun. One annoyance though: NG+ is a lot more fun than the first time through I think, but I want to try just NG+ as a different class. I wish I could respec my character into a different class...

Man, I just cannot beat super badass maniacs in TVHM. I mean, reliably. After a few or a dozen deaths something will go right and I'll be able to get enough critical hits in, but most of the time it's (as Zero) throw a grenade, stealth, throw a kunai, get around behind him, shotgun to the back of the head over and over again...and that takes out his shields. Then he sends me into fight for your life mode with one hit, and after that I just empty all of my weapons in order into his head but still don't do enough damage to kill him, respawn, repeat. There are never any other enemies around either (on the firehawk mission) so I can never revive. Is there something fundamental I am missing?

Monkey Fracas posted:Those drat kunai are such a gamechanger for Zer0. Load the big bad guy up with 'em and deliver a 3-barreled Torgue shotgun blast to their back (or a Jakobs Quad shot to the head) and they're basically done. Also Killing Bl0w is pretty good for clawing your way out of FFYL when a low health big-bad-melee enemy manages to get ya. Also, are they really meant to do damage, or just inflict that status effect?

Well anyway, I finally got through the fight in that circular room during the firehawk mission, mostly by running around in circles with the maniacs chasing me waiting for my power cooldown time to end. But yeah, in the future I will throw more kunais. I didn't know they were intended to do damage, only debuff.

Man, I really wish I had spread out the levels of my characters more. TVHM (at level 46) is pissing me off with its insane damage gap between me and the enemies, but the new DLC starts at level 30 and my next highest character's level is 13, it would take a LONG time to get her up to level 30. Is there some non-obvious solution to this problem that I am not seeing? I wish I could just set the level of my character freely.

If it works as advertised, it'd be a pretty big consideration factor for me eventually getting an Xbone.

I've been thinking about switching to the PC version since the PS3 version is pretty poo poo performance with any more than one player, but I don't have any confidence that my (somewhat gaming capable) laptop will get any better. It's really up and down on modern games.
