I had a question, picked up the game yesterday from a pre-order and noticed there's a season pass option for all the DLC's coming out. Since I pre-ordered though I get the first DLC free already, so the $10 discount I'd get with the season pass doesn't really matter right? Or is the pre-order DLC outside of the Season Pass DLC?

I do not think the Necromancer class (what you're getting for free with the preorder) is part of the season pass. The Season Pass is for the four $10 expansions that they will be releasing.

 

[El Bastardo]

I don't like some of the change-up of loot in this game, overall.

I know that it's for balancing purposes, but getting minus health on shields or minus shields on class mods really sucks. And the "each shot uses # ammo" sucks, too. Sure, you do more damage, but you literally eat right through your ammo stores with those.

 

[zenith16]

They have their own comic series now too.

So uh... the $30,000 tip SMG you get from Moxxi turns your controller into a vibrator. You aim down sights to start it up full power but it just hums if you're firing from the hip. Oh, Gearbox.

And I think Tiny Tina is the best character in this whole entire game.

hehe sounds way better then that screaming gun that made the news outlets yesterday.. Hey speaking of tiny Tina I wounder what would happen if you put that gun you just mentioned in her hands. lol

 

[Master Chief]

Dude, she's like, 12.

 

[zenith16]

Dude, she's like, 12.

I know that. But that world doesn't care and she's nuts. And She already has sexual innuendo or thing's you know she shouldn't be saying yet, coming out of her mouth anyway. Plus I'm sure she's killed before you met her too. unfortunately for her. lol I just wanted a reaction out of ya. Those eye's bugging out was the desired reaction.

 

[Master Chief]

lmao, well, mission accomplished I guess.

 

[zenith16]

lol sorry man. But I never really act like that. Unless it's for shock value. But that's a messed situation that I'd never really condone if there was some one really that did and was stupid enough to do so in real life. Well....

Spoiler

(i'd cripple them for life)

 

[El Bastardo]

So you're like a really bad comedian, basically.

 

[zenith16]

Most comedians these days are what you just said. Every things hit and miss. Depends on the execution too.(And alot of jokes don't translate well in written form)

 

[El Bastardo]

Right. A lot of comedians today are bad.

 

[zenith16]

Right. A lot of comedians today are bad.

Yup the movie "grown up's" prove s this among alot of Sandlers movies sigh. (and the other comedians that were in the former have been flip flopping as well.) Hasn't been good since happy Gilmore. Ok we've taken this off topic as far as it need be. back to Borderlands

Borderlands 2 will have 'non-season pass' DLC, Pitchford promises

(15 hours ago)

​

Borderlands 2 is getting four confirmed slices of DLC as part of the Season Pass, but it has even more planned, Gearbox CEO Randy Pitchford tells Kotaku. We already know about one piece of additional non-Season Pass content, the Mechromancer.

"We will have other, non-season pass related DLC," Pitchford says. "The additional character (Mechromancer) is one kind of example."

We've heard rumblings of themes for future Borderlands 2 DLC: One may be an expansion on the weapons manufacturer Torgue, and another might involve Sand Skiff-like transportation. Pitchford reiterates a vehicle-focused DLC approach.

"Since we finished the game, we've started with some new ideas that we expect will show up in DLC," Pitchford says. "Some new vehicle types are on-deck – awesome stuff."

All of the Season Pass DLC packs will be "big," similar to the third expansion for the original Borderlands, The Secret Armory of General Knoxx. Knoxx raised the level cap, added 30 new enemy types, new weapons, new vehicles and improved the AI.

"The stuff we're planning and working on for the Campaign DLC Season Pass is big DLC stuff – more like Knoxx," Pitchford says. "We're extremely far along with the first campaign DLC. The second DLC is also in amazing shape. The third DLC is a little farther out and the fourth DLC is just in the pre-concept stages."




Borderlands 2 beats Mass Effect 3 for biggest UK sales debut so far this year

(4 hours ago)

​

Borderlands 2 launched straight to number one in the UK last week, with the strongest debut of 2012 so far, besting Mass Effect 3 by 4,000 sales, according to Chart-Track. For some historical context, the original Borderlands premiered in seventh place back in 2009, with the sequel outselling the previous installment during launch week 4 to 1.

Gearbox's co-op shooter wasn't the only big premiere this week, both F1 2012 and Pro Evolution Soccer debuted strongly and took second and third place, respectively. Another newcomer last week was LittleBigPlanet Vita in sixth, which had the "biggest sales week for a non-hardware launch week Vita title." Leap past the break for the UK top ten. Continue Reading

Pitchford tweeted some Shift account codes earlier today for a golden key.

360: 5JKJ3-6TWSJ-BRXBX-K6JJJ-FXXWB
PS3: 5JKJ3-6TWKS-CSTCT-S3KJJ-FXX3W
PC: KBCJ3-KX9B6-XTBJT-TT33B-C9ZR3

There's some crazy amount of redemptions for each key, so plug them in.

 

[Balthus Dire]

EDIT: Bah, codes don't work. Already been redeemed.


I'm friggin loving the crap out of this game. It's so fun.

 

[Benstamania]

Did anyone get the double rainbow achievement? I laughed so hard.

Doh, that sucks. I was able to get the PC one to work not long before I posted them.

The what now?

I just found a gun where reloading causes your character to throw the gun at an enemy, which explodes, and another gun materializes right there in your hand.

The Walmart brand... Tediore ... Love them.... I have a Rocket Launcher that does that

 

[El Bastardo]

I hate Tediore.

 

[Master Chief]

I hate Tediore.

How can you hate them when they made a shotgun that chases down targets like a missile when thrown.



Their guns do tend to eat up ammo a lot faster though. I always try and use Jakobs, Hyperion or Maliwan weapons.

 

[El Bastardo]

That's neat, at least.

But no, right around the time I'd gotten used to Tediore and was slaughtering bullymongs in the first area, I realized just how much ammo they go through. When I do find the odd Tediore weapon worth using, I wind up inadvertantly throwing it at walls or what not since I'm constantly reloading on the run. So then I just say **** it and wind up selling it.

I didn't say there was anything wrong with the brand or how it plays. I just hate them.
