Borderlands

Do you have to do much grinding in this? And if so, is it annoying?
 
Grinding as in killing enemies over and over and over to gain enough XP to level up and advance to the next area or plot point?
 
I guess this really wouldn't have grinding since I've read there's not much of a main story.

I thought of getting it on Amazon since they have a $10 credit with it but I think I'll pass. I'd like to play it, but I'm probably going to get bored of it after awhile. I'll just wait till it's cheaper or there's a GOTY edition with DLC.
 
Probably a good idea. I wish I would have waited a while longer. It's a really fun game, but you'll definitely find it monotonous sooner or later.

I'm up to Level 17 now, and so far there hasn't been much grinding. I've just done the missions as they were suggested to me (i.e. the ones appropriate for my current level) and have been leveling up at a steady pace and have not gotten stuck on anything yet.

I'm really enjoying it so far. It can be tough every so often but its still a load of fun. Finding new guns is great, and I really like that places repopulate with bad guys, weapons, ammo and money. Going in and finding different guns makes any grinding there would be more exciting.
 
I'm a bit surprised that people aren't discussing the DLC4 leak at this point. The short story: Some DLC4 files slipped through to the public in PC Patch 1.31.

Content 'teasers' wrapped in spoiler tags below:

Hyperion activates their Interplanetary Ninja Assassin Claptrap to do something about the Vault hunters, but the Claptrap has other ideas. Viva la robo-lution!

New enemies include various dead ones reanimated with Claptrap parts, such as Ned, Knoxx and Steele, as well as some sundry 'enemy-traps' (Psycho, Bandit, Midget etc). There are files for Hyperion soldiers (standard and Superbad).

There are files for Tannis, Marcus, and someone called "Blake".

There are files for mission logs from "Dividing Faults", "Sanders Gorge", "Scorched Snake Canyon" and "Tartarus Station".

I'm definitely looking forward to it. That's one of my favourite arms manufacturers in the game. :woot:

Just when I bought the game recently. :argh:
 
Anyone know if the new DLC will allow you to go higher levels?
 
Interesting. There's supposed to be a new "Ultimate Edition" of Dragon Age releasing in October as well.
 
Is at least good to know that there is a GOTY edition for it, will probably pick this up in the future.

I'm not sure I get the reasoning for your fury. on game trailers there's always some there b'itch about DLC that ether game or mass effect or dragon is putting cause they don't want to pay for new content a piece at a time cause they think that's Expensive. I suggest to them that they do this or what they did with dragon age by putting out and expansion since those people like to have a large amount of content in a one shot package. and I know most of those that compalin about that issue use to complain alot about that kind of thing here.

so I said they should do this it'll make easy on those people that complain about the DLC eapsecial since it wasn't in the first game. since they continually B'tch on that and choose not to even listen to that suggestion. Now the game company does what I ask to make it easier on those people that didn't want to believe such a day like this would come and I see this? lol I'm lost here.

Ok, the fudge? :huh: I don't mind that they release a Game of the Year Edition. It's the fact that I bought the game new recently and all it's DLC, when I could've gotten all in one package, if I just would've had a little patience.

I'm also confused about her post, and I'm glad I waited on Borderlands way longer than I meant to. I'm still waiting for the F3: GOTY to go down to $30. It's pretty easy to wait, since I already put in over a hundred hours into it when I borrowed my friends copy.

OK you have to understand some thing here which a lot of people don't see at first glance. That offer with all DLC was going for a lower price then what you will get in October, right? Borderlands was what, 15 bucks while each DLC was 2.5 or something, that goes for a total of 22.5, a lot less then the 50 you will have to pay for the GOTY version. Even if you count in the not yet released DLC, it still goes up to 30 and 20 cheaper then the GOTY.

So yeah, sorry to break it to you. your but those of you that did what Nathan did the have the better offer but don't know it. But any way. there that one extra map in the Goty. so that's up to you.

I didn't buy all of the DLC but looksing at the price drops they seem more cheaper right now. but seeing there's that extra map and all. well i'll get it. all I got was Zombie island. I wanted to buy the rest but held off due to me EXpecting and expansion of some sort. and here it is.

Oh yeah. I bought this recently, off Steam during their Mid-week Madness. $20 for everything but DLC4 wasn't too shabby, I figured.
 
Sorry z16, I remember an old zenith being female, and confused you with her. Anyways, I could still buy Borderlands and the DLC by themselves for $20-$30 cheaper like you said, right? And maybe the GOTY will be $40, who knows.

Was the F3: GOTY a better deal than F3+the DLC individually purchased?
 
F3: GotY was a much better deal than when purchased individually. But there was more DLC for F3, too.
 
sorry I'm late . yeah I'd go with what El Bastardo said. I waited for the Goty for that one. heck I still haven't even finished that one I'm afraid to say. cause it's a prolific game it's cool and all but long. seeing I have other things to do like friend calling for stuff like left for dead and stuff like actually going out. this has Fallout 3 has taken a back seat alot. I'll finish it eventually. I hope you can port your character like what was done in mass Effect 2 for fallout 3 new Vegas though. that would be cool.
 
does anyone know when the new DLC robot revolution for borderlands will be out for download??? they say september but when, like next week? end of the month?
 
the due date wasn't stated. but it is indeed in september. I'll probably put up once they put it out. but i'm we'll all know soon enough.
