New Borderlands DLC coming later this month

[TheSlyMoogle]

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?

A month ago I would have said Dragon Age 100% for sure...but now it's getting so close to ME2, I don't know if you'll be able to get all the enjoyment out of Dragon Age that you should until it comes out. Both are epic RPG's, so it may be hard to play both at the same time.

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. :\

Well it's spoilers, but Zombie TK Baha is hiding in a shack in the town with the pumpkins. Oh zombie TK Baha.

Sweet!

He was my favorite character, and I was very upset when he got strung up.

Yeah I fucking love TK Baha.
