Borderlands: The Pre-sequel Thread

[casterofdreams]

I'm a single player guy. I played the first game a few hours through multiplayer but the dozens of hours of single player was awesome. Borderlands 2 was, and still is, single player.

Ive beaten both Borderlands 1&2 in 1,2,3, and 4 player, and out of all of them I prefer two to three player. That way you can actually do tactical assaults and have backup incase you get overwhelmed. You can work together to do things super fast, or get a second set of eyes on the environment to find those pesky hidden chests or vault symbols. That and it is always more fun to me to play with other people.

Now both Borderlands games have an issue in 4 player, 1 less than 2. In Borderlands 2 you can get rubberbanding but you almost always have voice chat problems in multiplayer. It is rare for it to actually work right. No issues in 2 or 3 player, but 4 player voice chat just cuts out. Typically I would say rubberbanding is an issue on our side, but I have had it while on a gigabit LAN. These issues got worse once they started doing the head hunter expansions, so that might have screwed something up there.

I'd say this also changes depending on who you're playing with. Xen tends to rush us through things, so I never feel like we really get much chance to perform a tactical assault. Instead, we just kind of mob things until they all die.

He does because no one offers to make plans. When it was just he and I playing it, it was far more tactical than when there are four of us.

When I play it with him, we still tend to rush through it, because he's played through all of it a dozen times by now.

I just do what u guys tell me cuz I'm a noob.

Well, when we play this Borderlands it will be slow and low. We will take our time investigating everything.

So back on topic. Reviews have been hitting all over today. I still think my first will be Nisha - Sheriff of Lynchwood.

I'm very torn between Nisha and Athena. If I did run Nisha I'd do her full "The Rifleman" style, and since I've never used Rifles before (both previous games I did the Siren, so elemental SMGs) it'd be a good change of pace. With Athena I'd go her melee + shield build, but I'm not sure if I could put up with the 20+ levels it takes to get to her final point in melee that gives you the dash you need to reliably get melee damage on people (which feeds the rest of her tree).

Hah! I have the same dilemma as you...Siren in the previous games, trying to decide who to go with. I figured Nisha, since it would be a different experience...but I'm gonna miss those SMGs.

Rifles were my bread and butter in the other two games. Jakobs for primary with a Maliwan for fire, acid, or slag. Follow it up with a pistol, Bandit usually, or a shotgun for close range.
