LadyCrimson Posted October 3, 2012 Posted October 3, 2012 So I'm not sure how much I like co-op in BL2. At first I thought it would be fun to play with other people, but I'm finding that I'm not enjoying the missions now. Instead of taking my time and finding everything there is to find on a level, I'm doing a speed run through missions because the guys I'm playing with just head straight for the quest markers, and since most have played through once already, they get there before me, and I don't even get to do anything but follow along in my own game! Co-op for me is about the frantic combat rush. So yeah, unless you have someone who likes to take it slow, it tends to be like that. If one likes to linger and explore, it's better to do that alone. I tried playing another character last night and I'm trying to explore more now. I'm enjoying seeing some things I missed, but at the same time the combat feels a lot more ... boring. :/ “Things are as they are.

I'm enjoying seeing some things I missed, but at the same time the combat feels a lot more ... boring. :/ It's a bit of a tough situation for me. My cousin often joins my games now, and on the whole he's fine. But friends from his friends list join, and they're the ones that seem to do the speed runs. What makes it tough for me to tell them to leave the lobby is that they're not intentionally being annoying, that's just how they play. That, and they're constantly giving me weapons they've stockpiled. So I'd feel kind of bad after that. The other problem I'm noticing is that when they join, the enemies level up to their level since they're higher than me. But the problem is, the XP earned per kill remains at my level. So while they think they're helping me out, they're actually making it more difficult to kill enemies and making the rewards for doing so not any higher. I've tended to "have to take off for a bit" lately when they've joined my lobby.

GhostofAnakin Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I'm about to tackle the final quest in BL2. Apart from two timed quests, I think I've completed every other quest in the game.

Blodhemn Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Had to stop playing the ME3 single player before the final mission to step into multiplayer to get my EMS up. So, it seems pre patch, you need a 5000 EMS for the "best ending" whatever the f that is, and it would take me too much time to reach that at this point since I hadn't played multiplayer at all before this. Yeah, that was a really stupid idea Bioware, however I doubt the "best ending" is all that amazing anyway. Played the multiplayer for the last few days, but I just can't halt the story for that long, that's just straight up ridiculous. So I edited a save game to save me the trouble..
Nepenthe Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I _THINK_ the required EMS was adjusted when the extended cut came out, but I haven't had to test it so I don't know for sure. I'm sure google is your friend in this. Or would've been, as you seem to have happily overcome the idiotic restriction. You're a cheery wee bugger, Nep. Have I ever said that? Reapercussions

I'm sure google is your friend in this. Or would've been, as you seem to have happily overcome the idiotic restriction. It did, you don't need to have galactic readiness at a certain percentage to get the coveted 5,000 war assets. Because you don't need to have 5,000 war assets now I think. Ka-ka-ka-ka-Cocaine!
Humanoid Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 It went from somewhere around 110-120% of the total available obtainable points to about 90-95% I believe - so still requires a lot of "work" with the menial sidequests and such. L I E S T R O N GL I V E W R O N G
NOK222 Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 But at least if you did ME and ME2, you don't need multiplayer anymore. Ka-ka-ka-ka-Cocaine!
Drowsy Emperor Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 Finished Homeworld Cataclysm. Sadly, the story dwindled to a cliche towards the end. The new ships are not nearly as well crafted as in the original. Overall the game is very good, but if it didn't have the homeworld frame to build on nobody would remember it at all. 8/10 И погибе Српски кнез Лазаре,И његова сва изгибе војска, Седамдесет и седам иљада;Све је свето и честито билоИ миломе Богу приступачно.
LadyCrimson Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I'm about to tackle the final quest in BL2. Apart from two timed quests, I think I've completed every other quest in the game. I know about the deliver the mail timed quest. What's the other one? So I can avoid even getting it on my log? Have you found any good chest-farming spots in the later areas? It can be spots you have to fight to get to, just not the boss fights. I've been feeling a little disappointed that chests and things have felt a little lackluster. Not that I haven't found some purples and such, but most of the time chests/outhouses just have trash...and most bosses don't drop many items at once. I have the feeling we're supposed to kill the end boss and the new uber-boss over and over instead. “Things are as they are.

GhostofAnakin Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I know about the deliver the mail timed quest. What's the other one? So I can avoid even getting it on my log? Actually, I did one. So I guess there's three? There might be more after you finish the ones I haven't done, so maybe there is more than three. I completed the one where you have to deliver mail in a certain amount of time. The two I currently have on my log that I haven't touched are one for I believe Dr. Zed, something to do with medical supplies being dropped off in mailboxes before they "go bad". The other one I have in my log is for Marcus, again a mailbox thing, but something about him being drunk and sending out notices of refund that he wants you to collect before the customers get them.

I have the feeling we're supposed to kill the end boss and the new uber-boss over and over instead. I haven't really found *any* awesome items. I've found some good purple ones, but none that seem to be my "go to" weapon because of how great its stats are. The bosses seem to just drop items that are equal to or lesser than my current equipment and weapons. Ditto for any chests I find. They mainly contain weapons or items that aren't any better than stuff I've already gotten.

Drowsy Emperor Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I don't believe it, Dawn of War: Dark Crusade works great on my netbook with most settings on high after using 3D analyzer to simulate Hardware transform and lighting capability for my integrated Intel 3150.

Katphood Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 One of the guys on my PSN friends list is playing Dishonored! *jealousy* There used to be a signature here, a really cool one...and now it's gone.

Yeah, I just wanted to see the ending that made everyone so mad, and then I'll reload a save and apply the extended cut patch to see the difference. I just wasn't willing to spend days in multiplayer to build up the EMS because that's one hideous design choice.
Malcador Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 On to True Vault Hunter mode, suitably dying more often so that's good. Just got Moxxi's Good Touch too, now I get to watch suckers burn...until it's robots and fire's not that hot against them. Trying to track down Privateer 2, but I figure like the Kilrathi Saga, not much luck. Why has elegance found so little following?

GhostofAnakin Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I started up a different character in BL2, this time using the commando. I think it's a lot more enjoyable with that automatic turret he can spawn. It definitely makes the fights much easier.

LadyCrimson Posted October 4, 2012 Posted October 4, 2012 I always forget to use his turret...but yeah, it's a good partner. I've heard it's weak (health wise) in 2nd playthru, tho, if you don't take that skill that boosts its health. But don't know for sure. My Axton is only lvl 12. “Things are as they are.

BruceVC Posted October 5, 2012 Posted October 5, 2012 I have just finished Max Payne 3 and I intend to now start playing Risen 2, I have read mixed reviews about it but I love my fantasy RPG "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.
