I just got Borderlands 2 too. But I joined a game that was ahead of my story and apparently it skipped me to that mission when I got back on single player, so I just quit...

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!

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.

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.

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

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.

[Rex Prime]

I Remembered what i did else "For Her", it was clearing her mine-site from ghosts.

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.

Hitman Absolution


Finally found the Charlie Chipmunk costume and completed the Lieutenant Bad challenge.

RE 6

Going crazy with the grenade launcher and submachine pistols, trying to score enough kills for infinite ammo and "Master" buffs.

[Shadowman]

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.

Birdie's Gift: completed Assassin's Signature and It Wouldn't Be Stealing challenges. Currently trying to find where that damn shotgun is to complete Lost and Found.

Terminus: completed part one of Don't Disturb.

[BeastProwl]

Got Rid of the wee wee king

If you havn't already, nab his shield! Quick health regen helps alot in that part of the game!

Borderlands
Got the DLC off the disk, it was downloadable, then returned it for Just Cause 2.
F*CK YES.

First to go was The island of Ned (Who totally ISNT Zed from before, its Ned.) Holy crap. Playthrough 2'd that one. Undead Ned was a pill, but in the end, it all worked out Now if only I can beat Frankenbill and Pumpkinhead...

Now for the secret armory...

Oh yes.. This is my new favorite thing in life. So many hours just diving around, blowing **** up, and General Knoxx is my new favorite character, like, ever.

I'm going toe to toe with Crawmerax ATM. LVL 61 I am, and my god is he giving me a run for my money. Like seriously, its getting expensive to die, jesus.

Also Skag riding Midgets!

Claptrap's new robolution, or whatever.
My least favorite so far, behind Underdome of course. Its leveled, like Ned's, but the enemies are overwhelming Still, lots to, and I cant wait to get knee deep in it all. Only problem is, I blew up the armory, and didn't get a damn thing for it. All those chests... I hope Marcus pulls through with that "Shopping Spree"

Also, Knoxx was an amazingly well thought out boss fight, thats worth noting. Expert programming and placement. I enjoyed it, very much.

Also.

F*CKING DRIFTERS!!!

thats all.

Want to know the really funny bit? It's confirmed Ned was actually telling the truth, Zed really is a different person.

General Knoxx is my new favorite character, like, ever.

He's got twitter. So does Gaige the Mechromancer though it was hijacked by Mr. Torgue, President of Torgue.

I'm going toe to toe with Crawmerax ATM. LVL 61 I am, and my god is he giving me a run for my money. Like seriously, its getting expensive to die, jesus.

Crawmerax solo is a no-no unless you're playing Lilith. There's a peculiar bug she can exploit, by hiding in a certain spot it makes Crawmerax basically stand in place and lets you take off all his front-side weak points, though you have to leave said spot to take his back off.

Also.

F*CKING DRIFTERS!!!

thats all.

I know, right?

[Rex Prime]

Borderlands

I Got Scooter's car parts, got a corrosive artifact and met crazy earl, now i gotta get his C-Charges

Got Rid of the wee wee king

If you havn't already, nab his shield! Quick health regen helps alot in that part of the game!

i was much higher level and his shield wasn't good enough for me, my slow health regen shield is better then his, well, after all the only thing we could blame is this generation system (it works on Shields...right?)

Elder Scrolls V Skyrim

Attacked by Vampires in Riverwood and contracted the vampire disease from one of them, i started to panic, i just worshiped talos and the disease was gone. I Killed the Ice Wraith and joined the Stormcloaks and got the jagged crown, and fight silver hand from Farkas, now i really feel i want to be a Werewolf, but with Dawngaurd....

[Wigglez]

Did anybody watch the Video Game Awards last night? The Walking Dead got game of the year. Which got me to get Episode 5. I've played the episodes when they came out and they were good.

[Shadowman]

Resident Evil: Code Veronica:
So I got this to lower the number of games in the main RE series that I haven't played. Not regretting it. But enough about that, let's talk about Steve.

Steve is just awful. I mean, seriously. It's like he's supposed to be a parody of...characters, I guess. His voice acting is terrible (Sam Riegel voices him in Darkside Chronicles, which I haven't heard but knowing the actor it's probably really good, so at least Steve has that going for him) and I swear to God I just want to punch him in the face until he stops.

That is enough about Steve.

Not too far into the game, just sent the e-mail to Leon to send an e-mail to Chris to come rescue everyone. Not sure why Claire couldn't call in both Leon and Chris. Those two teaming up together? They'd have the place cleaned out in five minutes.

[BeastProwl]

Claptraps new Robot Revolution (or something)

Killed Knoxx...again...
Killed Ned...again...
Killed Comendant Steele...for the first time.

Currently looking into killing Knoxx a 3rd time, but those damn devine wind claptraps are making it impossible, id'e rather have badass devestators on my ass, at least they don commit cheap suicides preventing you from fighting back...

Crawmerax solo is a no-no.

I've come to realize that

Borderlands

i was much higher level and his shield wasn't good enough for me, my slow health regen shield is better then his, well, after all the only thing we could blame is this generation system

Umm..well see thats the thing. It says its lower than yours in quality, but thats one of a few lies in borderlands. See, it's actually REALLY good, it just doesnt tell you. Test it out next time you get the chance.

[Wigglez]

Steve is just awful.

I'm gunna assume you did see the live action opening to Resident Evil.

I'm not going to start 6 yet but that's what I think might happen anyway.

Oh, I did. And while the acting was bad, I never wanted to punch any of the characters in the balls, and in fact loved the stupid writing and acting, especially Barry. But here's the thing, in between talking, no one in STARS was a total retard. Steve? He hesitated shooting his Zombie Dad, which is understandable, while Zombie Dad was about to eat Claire, but waiting until the very last second before spraying automatic fire at both of them. Even when he's not talking, he's still awful.

Fortunately, Claire is awesome enough to balance things out. Like, taking Steve up on an offer to get a pair of gold lugers (The key to a door Claire needed to get through) by trading him a pair of SMGs...which were empty. And when getting the ammo for him, she still took the time to physically hurt him. (Getting up to a ledge by standing on his back) And also there's an achievement for letting Claire make fun of him. Claire would be a total bitch if Steve wasn't so awful. Also Chris and Wesker are in this, so it all works out.

They meet up but they don't really team up. In fact, there's a moment when they're about to kill each other.

Resident Evil: Code Veronica:
Met Alfred Ashford and his annoying laugh, watched Steve kill his Zombie Dad in literally the most dangerous and stupid way possible, now I got to...I dunno, get a bunch of emblems to open a random door and use like a million cranks. Umbrella is dumb, Steve is awful, the Redfield Family is awesome, Wesker is also awesome..

[The Happy Locust]

XenoBlade Chronicles
Hm... my last post vanished on me. Oh well, moving forward anyway.
Just crossed the 70 hour mark. Endgame started about 12 hours ago.
Twists just keep coming but they are fun ones.
At the moment, I'm trying to beat a boss in the heart of the bionis (literally) but its 5 levels above me and beating me senseless. I've had to resort to the forbidden method for level enhancement. grinding.

[Shadowman]

Resident Evil: Code Veronica:
You know what sucks? Having full health but only a couple weak healing items, and very little ammo.

You know what sucks more? Taking the above sentence and adding "Right before you have to fight a Tyrant" to the end. It took like twenty tries, but damn it, I launched that bastard out of that plane like I was getting a cash prize. One of the few times in gaming when my victory included me flipping both birds at the screen while yelling "YEAH, **** YOU!"

PS, Steve is still awful. And Alfred is also awful, but he gets points back for being so out of his freaking mind that it becomes kind of funny. But Wesker is here, so it's all good.

finishid the whole bounty board thing in Rust Commons East, now i am preparing to fight Krem, i have no idea of what i am about to fight, i got an idea about Sledge when i fought him but I'm not sure of fighting him now. LVL 27

[Wigglez]

The Walking Dead

I just got done playing Episode 5. That s*** was heart breaking. I had to restart the game from Episode 1 because my file got deleted somehow (I blame my siblings) but I played through it in one sitting. That game is so good.

[The Happy Locust]

Xenoblade Chronicles
Whew... 4 levels makes a difference. A boss that was once nigh-impossible is now only a frustrating pain in the backside. Finally took it out and then took the fast track from the heart of the Bionis to the head. Found my next target, but before I can fight him I need to survive a battle arena in a falling elevator.
