Re: New Borderlands DLC coming later this month
So for anyone who hasn't been following this, it comes out the 29th.
Also basically it's like Horde mode in Gears of War 2. I'm excited. Also the game was patched on the 11th of this month. So far I've been finding oranges from regular enemies and a lot more rare weapons instead of trash. I've done like 6 runs of Crimson Fastness. So far I found 8 oranges just from the regular enemies, and around 2 oranges in chests per run. I dunno what's going on and the patch notes don't say anything about it, but I think they may have changed drop rates and chest rates as well. I approve of this game. |

Oh man, a horde mode? That is exciting beyond exciting.
It's also exciting to hear that they may have boosted orange drops. Last night I picked this game back up and am finishing the Zombie Island DLC. I got the update, but didn't notice a real increase (but I'm playing it on playthrough 1). It also seems like this update fixed some of Lilith's buggy skills. Can't wait for the DLC tomorrow. |

I'm torn between this and Dragon Age for my Christmas money game purchase this year (ME2 is already paid for, so no worries). As a 360 purchase, which way should I go?

I guess it depends on how much free time you have, or if you don't care to play two big western RPG's in a row. Dragon age is a game you want to play through 2 or 3 times, with about 50 hours a playthrough. Borderlands can be beaten in a few days, and getting level 50 isn't too big a deal, and there's good replayability from collecting new guns. So yeah...this close to Mass Effect I think I would say Borderlands, then maybe pick up DA later for a reduced price when there's a lull in RPG's. On that note, I finished Zombie Island last night, and it was awesome. Although I'm a little annoyed because I must have missed the "Braaaaaaains" quest somewhere. :\ |

If you haven't bought F3 yet, hold out for a few more months. GOTY edition will have all 5 DLC packs, including this month's Mothership Zeta. Comes out in... October, I think?

Re: New Borderlands DLC coming later this month
So some reviews are in,
http://www.giantbomb.com/borderlands...?review_id=247 And the word around the internets is that it sucks. And I have to agree, particularly with everything Jeff says in the review above. My first character is level 42 (I got distracted by some other games), and after I finished up zombie island I was like, ok, the new DLC is a horde mode, I can probably finish up those last 8 levels there. Wrong. Each of the different horde areas has 5 rounds, composed of (I think) 5 waves. The first round is easy. After that the game starts doing modifications to you and the enemies every wave, and each wave also has a theme. So for example, you might get the "shotguns do increased damage, everything else does less" mod and have the "bad ass" wave. By the time you get part way through the second round, things are getting tough, even on the first playthrough. Did I mention that these rounds take forever to complete? For each of the horde modes, you're looking at a significant time investment. Now, this wouldn't be a big deal if you got good loot, xp, and/or weapon proficiency along the way. But you don't. Like, zip, zero, nada. I played for about 2 hours on one of the hordes and was not able to beat it, and I have nothing to show for it, not even a single experience point. The frustration here is compounded by the fact that you could get unlucky with mod and wave themes. For example, one wave I got the "you have no shields" mod and the "guns" wave theme, which resulted in me being in the center of about 20 Crimson Lance dudes who each one dropped a turret, and me having no shields. And if you lose a Wave, you have to start all over. And again, you will have -nothing- to show for it. In conclusion, if you haven't spent money on this DLC yet, do not do it. |
Re: New Borderlands DLC coming later this month
New DLC drops tomorrow, and this looks like the big one.
Raises level cap to 61 for everyone. New vehicles, including a four man vehicle. New enemy types including one with a jetpack and midgets riding skags. New weapons. Bigger bigger and bigger. Due tomorrow Feb 23rd for 10 bucks. |
Re: New Borderlands DLC coming later this month
I'm not going to buy this one right off the bat in case it sucks like the last one.

Re: New Borderlands DLC coming later this month
Ahh I must say Gearbox did some crazy stuff with this one. Impressed. :D
