It's not supposed to do that. No reason you can't just start a new character. Hell, I started three new characters just because I ran out of stuff to do on the first one.


Well, I continued my Siren playthrough afterwards, who was only at level 3. The first playthrough was with Zero, who I had at level 18 before the game skipped me. But I quickly leveled up my Siren to level 18 because I joined a level 50 game and just let everyone kill all the enemies for me while I leveled up. A cheap ass tactic, but effective.


Wouldn't the level 50 game also be ahead of you in the story? I didn't hit 50 until I was fighting BNK3R on TVHM.

Borderlands 2:
Focusing on Maya for...well, I guess you could call it playthrough 3? Putting more focus on her Cataclysm skill tree, since it's all of Lilith's best skills focused into only a couple of skills. Phaselock can be upgraded to cause four elemental effects (Shock, Corrosion, Fire, and Slag) and all kinds of other crazy cool stuff.

Everyone has Borderlands 2, I'm still rock'n 1 like a boss.

Borderlands: Playthrough 2

Finally beat it.

Lots of bitch'n, downright sexy-ass guns. One of my personal favorites, The Scoped Guardian. Hold your ground...Forever.

And that one shotgun, Holy crap it shoots rockets!

and the vicious invader, BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! BAM! :michaelbay:

Anyhow, after I defeated The Destroyer, all the enemies on Pandora leveled up with me, holy crap! I cant drive for five seconds without being totally obliterated, kinda sucks.

Well, whenever I get the rest of that DLC...

Yeah, but when it skipped me ahead in my first playthrough, a message popped up after I finished the mission I was on and I just pressed X without reading it. It said something about skipping ahead, but I didn't care enough to finish reading it... So I would assume clicking on the "No" button will keep me where I am in the story.

Huh? I can't hear you over all my guns that make Bessie (The strongest sniper rifle in the game) look like a cheap pellet gun. Oh, hello 7000 damage rating assault rifle, how are you? Why, yes, I have met the 130k damage Rocket Launcher, I was just having lunch with him and the 4000 damage incendiary SMG.

No offense to Bessie, you know I still love you, babe.

BeastProwl wrote:Anyhow, after I defeated The Destroyer, all the enemies on Pandora leveled up with me, holy crap! I cant drive for five seconds without being totally obliterated, kinda sucks.


Yeah, that's playthrough 2.5; all the enemies become MUCH tougher. Borderlands 2 has it as well, part of the reason I'm not touching any of the leftover sidequests until the level cap increase comes out.

Do it! Borderlands has some of the best DLC ever. It's like Fallout's DLC, but satisfying.

It's complicated.

"Gasps" So my friend gave me his PSN so I was able to download all the DLC and Borderlands for free, but didn't have enough time to download them all, just the...underdome... since then I spent all that time in illinois, and now Im in georgia, and I dont have any wifi, so I can't finish the download. Not like I could though, since then Sony has put a stricter limit to how many people can share accounts, so he booted me off temporarely untill I get wireless, and is sharing with another frient ATM.so in short if I sign on to PSN, I loose Borderlands and several other games and add ons I got from his account.

Thats why I was wondering, can I buy the Game of the year edition of borderlands, and download the DLC from the disk itself? Then use it on my downloaded copy so I dont have to start over again due to the data being different between the two? It was for LBP Game of the year edition, so I assume borderlands is the same? If I restart AGAIN it will be for the fourth time! I cant find an answer to that exact question anywere on the internet...

Nope, since the GOTY edition doesn't use downloading (What with being disc-based and all) and even so, apparently regular BL saves are incompatible with GOTY, which I realize makes no sense at all, but that's how it goes.

EDIT: Here's what you do. Since you don't have wifi, but you do have internet, get yourself a long enough ethernet cable to reach from your modem or router to your PS3, or, if you can, pull the ethernet cable from your PC and hook that into your PS3, if your TV is close enough to your computer, anyway. In my experience, wired internet is vastly superior to wireless anyway.

It is. If I can find my 50 foot chord, I would be able to play DCUO.

Starcraft
I'm not really a PC gamer, but after watching the tournament of Starcraft 2 on IGN, I want to play it also. So now I'm playing 1 right now for the story so I can start 2. And I haven't played an RTS game like 11 years so I suck. Badly. It took me 2 hours to beat 1 mission. But I got done with mission 6 of the Terran campaign the day before yesterday and am about to dive into that again. But this time, I'm looking for tips and stuff so I don't take forever playing 1 damn mission.

Dishonored
I'm on a third playthrough (yes, it's that fun). This time I'm going through it withought anybody getting alarmed of my presence so I can get the ghost trophy. After I get these stealth trophies, I'm playing one more time and I'm slaughtering EVERYBODY.

Took me a minute to remember that one, mostly because Guardians probably aren't ghosts. (Protip: Their shields are strong, but under that they're very brittle, and a good shock weapon will do them in quick)


Thanks For The Tip, but killing them was easy, probably because i was lvl 22 that time. Recently i got a good shock SMG, so if if i ever meet a Guardian again i will make sure i remember what you said.

Black Mesa

second Playthrough, trying to beat through the game in medium, those Aimbot HECU don't give me a chance to make good tactics, so the best tactic is crouch in place with a shotgun, and when he comes to you...shoot'em! just Reached Power Up, i never liked how Garngunta's became invincible and only scripted events could kill them.

Because sometimes, people deserve to have their faith rewarded.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim:
Picked up and completed a quest to return a cursed sword to its alter to banish some crazy ghost lady. It's been a year, and I'm still finding new stuff to do in this game. Goddamn I love Skyrim.
