Greetings from the Humungus,
the ayatollah of rock and rolla.

some one should tell Lord Humungus that Ken Dryden wants his goalie mask back.

In borderlands 2 there was a quest where you found out who Tiny Tina's dad was. The psycho that she asked you to bring to dinner and she electrocuted was her father. There is a late game quest where you get 4 echo's in the hyperion animal reservation that reveals this.


Fleshstick? There were echo recordings about him selling out Tina's parents (supplying them to Dr. Samuels, who performed Slag experiments on human subjects for Handsome Jack), I don't recall anything saying he was one of her parents.

eh, not sure about buying in to the hype this time, disliked BL2's extreme scaling and the atmosphere was quite different from what I liked in BL1

Playing Athena atm. Going to see if I can get some sort of a melee build going. Playing as melee Krieg in BL2 was really really fun.

tbh I am not liking this as much as when I started BL2. The low gravity environment is more pain than fun: you get loot scattered everywhere (i also dislike how 99% of loot in BL is useless). The 1st real boss on the moon leaps left and right and is almost impossible to chase down as he shoots his laser gun at you. Ended up cheesing the encounter by staying on ground level and headshotting him with a scoped pistol when he tries to do a shootout against me: there is even a convenient "room" in the wall to hide inside for shield recharge too.

As others have mentioned, the bulletsponge thing I disliked a lot. There is also the concern of non-scaling skills (a lot of special procs only scale by level and not gun damage, minions/summons also tend to have not enough HP to be able to survive any UVHM fight.

Ugh the psycho you electricuted at the tea party was the person who sold out her family. I believe his name was Fleshsticks. They never really clarify or specify who Tiny Tina Dad was. Some people speculate that the Psycho playable class character is her father driven mad by experiment from handsome jack but he probably the closest thing you can probably speculate on who is Tiny Tina Dad.

The game is pretty fun, It's very much like Borderlands 2 the low Gravity is a real pain in the ass I don't really care about all the loot I find 2-3 guns that I like and just use them the whole game or till I find something similar, I have put a good 10 hours in and have had quite a bit of fun. Just expect to die to stupid low gravity stuff.

game seems fun to me.
after doing these "Memory Budgets" changes in the willowengine.ini file

[MemoryBudgets]

//AnimationMB=15
//AudioMB=10
//CodeMB=30
//LevelObjectsMB=4
//TerrainMB=4
//GameDataMB=3
//MaterialMB=1
//ParticleMB=5
//PhysicsMB=10
//ScaleformMB=8
//ShadersMB=10
//SkelMeshMB=2
//StaticMeshMB=10
//TextureMB=120
AnimationMB=32
AudioMB=16
CodeMB=64
LevelObjectsMB=16
TerrainMB=16
GameDataMB=16
MaterialMB=16
ParticleMB=16
PhysicsMB=32
ScaleformMB=32
ShadersMB=32
SkelMeshMB=16
StaticMeshMB=32
TextureMB=256

the game just flies along at 60 FPS on my crappy computer with the settings cranked.
the only thing i disabled was "DynamicShadows"... and that nVidia physics stuff.

Overall i'm impressed with how much better optimized this game is on both my desktop PC and my laptop.
i didn't expect that.

i wonder if other people with crap hardware are experiencing the same improvements i am.

my 2 cents so far, just played 3hrs of it.

It's pretty fun, as per borderlands2. Low gravity is nice for me, I like to jump around !

I started with claptrap and he is really fun. he is really different then any other character that I did play in other FPS.

Went with claptrap as well (probably not a surprise) and the only thing I don't like is that I think we're going to be pidgeonholed into the middle team-buff tree for any serious late game dps. The right fragmented fragtrap tree seems way too awful if you get a subroutine you don't have a good weapon for and the left boomtrap tree only has a few skills that I'd cherry pick and average over all. I'm sure someone will come up with something once more people get to late game but that's just my two cents.

it appears they did improve certain aspects of the graphics in the game.

Got my last talent point in athena's xiphos tree. She went from good to Zero on steroids: her melee override is a dash that does not invoke a cooldown if you hit something for the 1st time or if you kill the target. This allows me to just zoom left and right of the battlefield using singularity slam + dash forward with bloodrush...

Game balance in TVHM feels really out of whack. There seem to be... an absence of missions between the very start of the game and when you reached concordia.

This can be explained since in normal mode, it was around the lv1-6 range, so obviously you level up really quickly. However, in TVHM, I ended up as a lv31 character with only lv35 missions in my logs.

My melee athena also seem to have reached some sort of a bottleneck (partially due to being underleveled and undergeared): it takes a good minute to kill a super badass enemy with melee attacks: I guess I am missing a good Roid shield: I have seen pictures of legendary roid shields with unbelievable amount of Roid damage. The lack of % melee modifiers in BL2 might have to do with the significant boost in Roid shield effectiveness. Oh, and Rend... it used to be able to bleed out an enemy, now its damage is just... so insignificant.

The Torgue-o! Torgue-o! quest is game breaking. The mission-only gun is a moxxi gun with 60% life steal ("Punctilious Probe"). Using that gun (even without +50% melee dmg blade) keeps my health topped off at all times. In fact, out of frustration, I made a new Nisha, and is now lv14 using that gun+using slam as my primary attack, swapping to a shotgun vs airborne targets.

They have added a bit of "replay value" by having slightly different dialogue in TVHM. In normal mode, it was Lilith interrogating Athena, in TVHM, Tiny Tina came in and had Athena retell the story. That was an interesting touch.

Since you can now shatter an enemy, I am debating if I should switch my Shock O2 mask into a Frost mask for the chance to freeze on slam. Shooting them with an explosive gun shatters them (shotgun?). Shock O2 masks are nice for removing shields and mostly unmitigated damage....

the game was just too good...

after level 5 i felt too guilty....

so..

i deleted my pirated copy of the game and bought 2 keys for $90 USD from CJ's CD Keys.

i'd like to take a scene from Pulp Fiction that is a good analogy for comparing Borderlands2 to Borderlands:TPS.

"you know what the best part of Borderlands:TPS is? its the little differences... i mean.... BorderlandsTPS has got the same shit BL2 has... only thing is.. its just a little bit different..."
