Borderlands 2 was awarded Action Game of the Year at the D.I.C.E. Awards -- this calls for some SHiFT codes to celebrate! PC / Mac SHiFT Code for 5 Golden Keys in Borderlands 2: C3CBT-RC3XW-9WF33-BTJ3T-SB99J Xbox 360 SHiFT Code for 5 Golden Keys in Borderlands 2: C3CTB-XK695-33Z3R-W6BTB-XJC36 PlayStation 3 SHiFT Code for 5 Golden Keys in Borderlands 2: 53WBJ-T6Z5B-WWWCJ-HBKBB-THTR6 These codes will be active through February 10.

Might plop that game in the system over the weekend.

Tried the xbox 360 code and it says, please enter valid code.

Nice interview with Pitchford. Level Cap seems to be maybe a no go? He sometimes double talks so I am not sure.

Must be entered in-game from SHiFT menu.

haha my bad, looks like a xbox live code.

Worked fine for me. That's like 90+ keys I've redeemed so far.

I don't even know when I'll get to use them since I've already got all level 50 orange stuff. Whenever they finally raise the level cap or add a new class I guess.

Well according to Pitchford raising the level class could actually blow your Xbox up. Seems like BS talk to me.

GamesBeat: Especially with my Commando, there’s all these skill tree combinations that I want to do that I just need a few more skill points to get to.

Pitchford: That’s by design. Some of those things start to become game-breaking. This has actually created a huge problem for us. We designed the skills really well this time, but we did, for better or for worse, make a lot of the decisions with the knowledge that there will be no more skill points available to put into any trees after you reach level 50. We knew the impossible configurations. Some of the design exploits that. Some of the impossible configurations, if they were possible, would break the game. Sometimes very literally. “Oh, that’s gonna blow memory. Your Xbox will crash.”

Pitchford says a lot of stuff.

On the one hand, I prefer a guy like him (or Molyneux) who speaks his mind, to a developer who just clams up or only repeats the approved talking points. On the other hand, a lot of what he says turns out to be BS.

Feels like the result of many "Just get it done and we'll worry about it later" decisions coming back to haunt them.

I guess they could raise the cap and resort to blacklisting certain skill combos that they feel "break the game" or exceed hardware limits. Yuck.

Yeah I have a love hate relationship with Pitchford. I like his accessibility as a fan but he really can be a flake sometimes.

Or not give more skill points after level 50 and instead give tokens to use in machines for orange items or something.

If the game was honestly designed with a hard (skill) cap of 50 in mind, I wouldn't be surprised to see this. If I can't continue to grow my character (skills), at least I can continue to grow my gear.

Once I redeem this code I will have 9 keys and am at level 41. Should I just hold off on using any of them? Need to start the 2nd play through and have a bunch of level 38 stuff thanks to Hammerlock DLC & a friend, and have a pre-patch level 48 Bee Shield in my bank from said friend.

Borderlands 1 was too, but after a certain point they just said F it and let people create ridiculously overpowered characters. They will this time too, eventually. I don't believe the thing about "crashing your Xbox" for a second.

Lol blow up like everyone flooding back into Borderlands 2. Not that everyone still has the game but it sold extremely well so if at least half of those people all come back and at once I could see things getting bloody.

The trophy for hitting level 50 says "capped out...for now" doesn't it?

Is that on a TVHM play through? If so I wouldn't worry too much about saving keys.

You get nothing higher than purples out of the golden chest, and by the time your at or near 50 you'll be wanting the oranges anyway. So better to get some good purple stuff that can help you hit 50 than save them up until 50.

Plus they give our key codes so often you'll be able to get more later on anyway.

Finally got around to starting Mr. Torque's DLC. I love it so far. The dialogue is pretty hilarious from Mr. Torque.

mr torgue's dlc has been the best so far and which that cameo from tiny tina it makes it even better

I still liked the Pirates DLC the best. More exploration and a bit of a story.

Torque DLC had the funniest dialogue though for sure. The last one was pretty bland.
