After reading some of the dickhead replies he had for fans yesterday, I sold my copy. I lost a lot of respect for pitchford. I may eventually pick up the other dlc's but not at full price anymore. Glad I didn't buy the season pass.

Oh, I know that much.... My friends list is all Blops II or Halo 4, and since I don't play those games, I am relegated to BL2 solo duty.

I have yet to beat Hyperius, although a friend and I *almost* got him, but it would be nice to beat him and Gee before I trade this in. If anyone wants to give it a go, let me know.

I was already disappointed in their decision to add the gold chest in. Obviously they put that in for marketing purposes (to make B2 more popular on social media), and in order for us to give a crap about the chest they had to nerf the drop rates. Back in B1 I've sometimes seen multiple oranges for sale at the same time in one vending machine. Now $ is almost useless as the chances of actually winning (gambling) or buying something decent is so small, that I consider it a waste of time to even try.

Now they've nerfed the Bee and Randy turns out to be a douche. Pretty disappointing indeed.

Damn, sounds like I've got some catching up to do on Twitter.

I knew there was a reason I loved those guns.

Just stumbled onto this article. If you haven't seen it yet, do yourself a favor and check it out:

The Borderland's Gun Collector's Club

The magic recipe for creating addiction, how Gearbox created the perfect storm in BL1, and how they probably still don't understand what that recipe is. Really interesting stuff.

Nice!

That was nice - I will admit I did some skimming here and there but read most of it. Then I went to the main blog and noticed he has a new-ish post now that BL2 is out which is pretty great too.

The Borderland's 2 Gun Discarder's Club

Cool. Thanks for that! Yeah, that original article is a monster.

I'm surprised that his reaction to the broken token economy (guns) of BL2 centers around lack of storage. I would have guessed lack of rarity, since he made a pretty convincing argument in the first article that striving for that next better gun has kept the BL1 community alive this long.

It would seem the Torque DLC is due on November 20th. I have still yet to play Captain Scarlett, so this is good, for when I do play, I will have plenty to do.

Torgue preview

Gah, I have SO MUCH to play this Tuesday. I haven't even gone through Pirate's Booty yet.

At least it's not the same day as Omega!

Hmmm...I have a season pass so I will download this but I have a bad taste in my mouth about this game right now. I did not even collect the last golden keys because Pitchford was such an ass this week. I know, "first world problems" and all. The funny thing though is that with the Mechromancer and 2 DLCs being released within the first2 months of this game being released pretty much makes Pitchford a liar. He said they were not even working on DLC until the game was done. No way that is true. I went gold mid Aug I guess so in 3 months they created all this? Does not seem likely. Not complaining about content since BL2 has it in spades but why can't developers just be honest about their plans for DLC? Just own it.

Anyway, it their going to be a level increase? If not then I am waiting. It is no fun to play without earning XP right now.

The video I watched said no level cap increase on this one .

Definitely not interested in the Campaign of Carnage. Terrible business practices aside it sounds like more of the same. Well... minus new enemies, a level cap increase and rarity level higher than what we already have to justify the amount of senseless grinding necessary to earn those new weapons. Weapons which from the looks of it won't compare to the Legendaries most of us already have now.

I'll gladly keep my money in my pocket for the last TWD episode and Dragonborn.

Well, according to Pitchford's twitter you are ahead of the curve and must be a hardcore badass:

heh! It'll come. It will be time before too long... You're ahead of the curve - you must be a hardcore badass!

oh, and let's not forget this:

farmers are edge case sized minority. What is best for farmers is destructive to everything else in the game.

Wow, no level cap increase again!? Dropping the ball this time around GB
