@badp I did this routinely

not for the weapons I wasn't using, though

OrigamiRobot

@badp It's not like cash isn't easy to come by.

Ben Brocka

@badp as a % I think the respawn fee is always tiny

badp

@BenBrocka Well okay it was $27k out of $399k

roughly

but certainly a setback

Mr Smooth

I have to say. I'm hating the new mods. Not because they're bad mods or anything, it's just now there's never any flags in the flag tools for me to get cheap flags on the way to my Marshal badge. They're all acted upon too quickly :(

badp

...towards getting arbitrary higher numbers

Ben Brocka

3:08 PM

@badp setback of what? Like, one gun?

badp

@MrSmooth I feel your pain :D

@BenBrocka money

Ben Brocka

sell one gun

badp

Guns are still at around $5k

Ben Brocka

Make (probably) more than $27k, at least that's my experience

Ah, so 5 guns

badp

$27k is like one major quest at this point of the game

Ian Pugsley

3:09 PM

@badp not playing coop?

Ben Brocka

Trust me, you'll be up to your eyeballs in guns soon enough

Ian Pugsley

the reviving in coop is really nice

Ben Brocka

you'll have so many guns you'll want a gun that shoots guns

yeah, coop is more fun for a number of reasons

badp

@IanPugsley nope. Some people offered to play coop with me but didn't actually ever join me

Ian Pugsley

@BenBrocka that's what the Gunzerker from BL2 does, right? :)

Ben Brocka

3:10 PM

make sure you play with a Sniper, so you can laugh when they go I NEVER DIEEEEEEEEE

badp

@BenBrocka yeah, I'm just leaving them behind because of my itty bitty tiny backpack

Ian Pugsley

@badp @OrigamiRobot and I still have it installed and have yet to actually finish the game

although we're EDT :(

badp

and how annoying it is to compare my backpack weapons with my equipped weapons

Ben Brocka

@badp make sure to rescue the claptraps when you find them

each of them gives a +3 to backpack space

badp

@BenBrocka Yeah, I'm up to 27 slots now

I'd need 500 to pick up all the garbage

Ben Brocka

3:11 PM

My Siren has 42

Igoring white guns is a good place to start

FAE

I still need to finish the General DLC and the Claptrap DLC

badp

I actually have some white guns nicer than the other guns

OrigamiRobot

@IanPugsley I tried to play with @RonanForman and the lag was tremendous.

FAE

General's I didn't yet because I farmed it <_<

badp

like this 574 damage shock x4 rocket launcher

although rocket launchers are fairly worthless overall

FAE

3:12 PM

@OrigamiRobot I've played with my friends in the US without too much trouble

Ben Brocka

Yeah, rockets are lame unless you're Brick

agent86

@FAE claptrap DLC's probably the best of the bunch, imho

Ronan Forman

@OrigamiRobot That was mainly my brother's uni's internet speed.

agent86

knoxxx is pretty decent though, just for all the chests you can earn

Ben Brocka

@agent86 Knoxx FTW

better guns, better cars, and Knoxx himself is awesome

FAE

3:13 PM

@BenBrocka I need to re-learn the farming trick, I can't remember now, haha.

Ben Brocka

@FAE you fall through the floor at the start of the armory run

FAE

Got a looootta golds from it though.

Ben Brocka

friend showed me this weekend

very few good guns, though I got a couple Anarchies

one that's insanely accurate, too

FAE

@BenBrocka I remember that but I also backed up my saves and stuff just in case and I need to remember when I did that and such

agent86

@MrSmooth psh, average flag handling time is 1 hour and 2 minutes. although Oak and I are both cranking on the flags. it takes 3 "old mods" to equal just one of us :D

Ben Brocka

3:14 PM

with a 4x scope

FAE

I can't remember what SMGs I have on my Siren

Mr Smooth

I was halfway through the Knoxx DLC when I stopped playing for some reason (new game or something). Came back last month or so to find that I'd inexplicably uninstalled the game. Dunno if my saves are still there, will be pissed if they're not.

Ian Pugsley

@MrSmooth depending on when it was, there may have been cloud saves

Ben Brocka

@FAE you better have a Hellfire, they're amazing

FAE

@BenBrocka Think I had one of those, yeah

Now I have to go look

Ben Brocka

3:15 PM

I want a hellfire X Anarchy

Mr Smooth

@IanPugsley It was quite a while ago, so I doubt it.

Ben Brocka

or an anarchy that fires all elements like the Chimera.

rainbow bullets of death!

Mr Smooth

One more ME3 post (+1) and then I spam my friends with links so I can finally get myself a new keyboard.

Ben Brocka

I was amazed I just spammed my twitter feed and enough people clicked my links with no begging required

GnomeSlice

FAE

3:21 PM

@BenBrocka I'm apparently currently decked out with a Blast Savior, Combustion Hellfire, and a Desert Anarchy.

I'm also only 45 though, having never finished my 2nd playthrough, iirc.

Now I remember, I was doing farming on 1st playthrough or something... I dunno.

The double anarchies were madness

badp

@FAE uh... what level do you typically reach at the end of the 1st playthrough? I've just got 31...

tiddy

36-37

badp

I didn't realize I was that close to the end.

FAE

@BenBrocka Has a chance to cause explosions. I mostly have it as a backup gun because it has +16 ammo regen.

tiddy

It may be higher

It depends on players and completeness

Where are you

fbueckert

3:25 PM

I was more of a Combat Rifle fan myself. Get the full auto ones with stupid clip sizes, add in Roland's CR buffs, and you have half your max ammo in a single clip.

badp

Kram's the latest plot quest I've done

Ben Brocka

@FAE Ah, I have a mod for that but I'd love an SMG with ammo regen

Always out of ammo

FAE

@BenBrocka Considering the fire rate on my SMGs, same, haha. It's my backup gun for long fights.

badp

@BenBrocka That's kinda why I love the support gunner mod. Although ammo regen never is enough regen.

tiddy

I was a Siren

Ben Brocka

3:26 PM

@FAE I keep other guns, I usually have an SMG, shotgun, Sniper and Magnum

tiddy

With the right mods your DPS can reach incredible numbers

Ben Brocka

Anarchy + get close = everything dead

FAE

@BenBrocka I carry 3 SMGs and an Iridian (was that what they were called?) rocket launcher with infinite ammo

tiddy

Yeah

and fast

Ben Brocka

I love Lilith's quotes too

"Aww, did that hurt?"

FAE

3:27 PM

haha yeah

I only played Lilith and a partially leveled Mordecai

tiddy

I think by the end I had my anarchies and then pistols with the different effect mods for different enemies

Ben Brocka

Only Siren here, with a second player Mordecai for coop

badp

I'm the only one who went soldier then? <_<

too easy, probably! :P

tiddy

Yeah I think the hunter and siren were the only true power classes

FAE

@badp my friend who likes to play support went soldier

They're best in co-op, can help a lot

Mr Smooth

3:29 PM

I played all of them. Only one I went NG+ on was Lilith. Mordecai was my second highest and Soldier (forget his name) was close 3rd.

badp

well the amount of critical hits I've just needed to take down a level 30 badass bruiser does kinda worry me

can the siren like backstab people and stuff?

fbueckert

@badp Nope, I sure did. Loved the support aspect. Ammo regen mod, turret fully kitted out, combat rifle. Not as bursty as Lillith, but quite fun regardless.

Ian Pugsley

my very first playthrough on 360 was Brick, but switched to Mordecai on PC

Ben Brocka

@badp Not really, but the melee when you leave Phasewalk is pretty strong

Ian Pugsley

I really loved Brick but I never see anyone play him

Ben Brocka

3:30 PM

I never put any points into boosting my melee though

OrigamiRobot

Mordecai is the best!

Ben Brocka

Phasewalk is better because it makes you almost invincible

tiddy

Yeah

Ben Brocka

What's that? I'm dying? phasewalk Trolololol

tiddy

I was pretty much a God by the time I maxed my Siren and had found the right mods and weapons

Mr Smooth

3:31 PM

@OrigamiRobot I have to admit, fully upgrading my "boomerang" and taking out like 4 guys was pretty badass.

FAE

@BenBrocka Phasewalk regen <3

tiddy

Yeah

Phasewalk is for regen

FAE

Gunslinger Mordecai was ridiculous though too

tiddy

Yeah

Ben Brocka

@FAE with that regen and a quick charge shield you can be max health/shield <1 second after phasewalking

FAE

3:32 PM

like just complete pistols? Craziness

tiddy

Well there are some insane pistols

and INSANE mods

OrigamiRobot

@MrSmooth Bloodwing builds are boring!

FAE

@OrigamiRobot But really, really entertaining

OrigamiRobot

Sniper/Gunslinger FTW!

Ben Brocka

@tiddy <3 defiler

Oh, was that your face? NOT ANY MORE

Mr Smooth

3:33 PM

@OrigamiRobot Says you. I say they're fun. All my characters played off of their unique ability. Otherwise they all felt too similar.

OrigamiRobot

@Lazers No freehand arrows needed!

@MrSmooth If you didn't go for Level 5 Trespass first, you're doing it wrong :P

Ben Brocka

yeah, Trespass is ridiculous, you can't not have it

Guardians go downi n one shot, always, with it

tiddy

I haven't loaded up borderlands in probably a year

But I put over 100 hours into it and the DLCs

beat it, probably like 5 times

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka I was so happy when I got to that part. @IanPugsley's Brick was practically useless with my Mordecai one-shotting all of them

Ben Brocka

@OrigamiRobot great place to farm XP/weapon XP for mordecai

Crawmerax is better though, if you can stand that %$^&ing elevator

GnomeSlice

Anyone know how to redeem a code in Desura?

Ben Brocka

Hahaha, best synopsis of the ME3 endings (Spoilers of a sort)

badp

sigh, I'm now catching up to a line of level 21 quests I skipped

@BenBrocka I'm sure there's gotta be higher res than that

Ben Brocka

@badp yeah, that's the one I found though

tiddy

Craw is fun

more friends the better

And you'll need electric and acid mods

good ones

Ben Brocka

hate those damn craw maggots

the other crabs die in <1 second, but those craw maggots...

OrigamiRobot

3:43 PM

@BenBrocka Picture updated.

fbueckert

@BenBrocka Yeah, those things sucked. I recall acid in the eye murdered them pretty damn fast, though.

Ben Brocka

@fbueckert they're allegedly weak to electric

doesn't seem to work very well though, not that I have any good electric SMGs

Foxtrot

morning all

fbueckert

@BenBrocka I haven't played in close to a year, though, so I might be mis-remembering.

Ben Brocka

@fbueckert I think you're thinking of the Armored ones

those die in two acid magnum shots

@Foxtrot hello

GnomeSlice

3:47 PM

Ben Brocka

@GnomeSlice interesting

tiddy

The green ones take acid

and the maggots are electric

fbueckert

@BenBrocka Yeah, those are the ones that gave me the most trouble. The other ones went down easily.

Ben Brocka

Armored ones gave you trouble? I kept those ones alive to get a second wind

Maggots were the fast ones, hard to hit em in the eye, and deadly

Ben Brocka

mostly borderlands

Foxtrot

3:55 PM

Was I the only one who had horrible FPS in the ps3 for borderlands? I always thought there was something wrong with my system - defective video card, etc

Ben Brocka

On rare occasion I got that, a couple specific points of missions I think did it?

But no generally speaking mine played smooth

@Tristan's Avatar how the hell is she going to pull that trigger?

Foxtrot

well i guess I was also playing split screen. Epic fights and all - having to render so much?

Ben Brocka

@Foxtrot I mostly play splitscreen as well

Foxtrot

hmm. I guess I just wish that consoles would have better video cards in them or the ability to upgrade them easily lol.

@BenBrocka

Ben Brocka

standardization is a big part of their power though

Oak

3:59 PM

@Foxtrot I don't... in the past I used to constantly upgrade my graphics card on my PC just to be able to run the latest games well

But now, with the popularity of console games, I don't have to anymore

At least, not at the same frequency

agent86

@Oak this is important to me as well.

although I am able to play Skyrim on my laptop, which is a pleasant surprise

Ben Brocka

@Oak and of course upgrading your PC often cost as much as a console

agent86

really did not want to play that on the console

StrixVaria

@agent86 I can't aim with a joystick.

GnomeSlice

I much prefer to play most things on a console, but they're often far, far cheaper for PC. =[

StrixVaria

4:01 PM

Any first-person game automatically must be on a PC for me to even consider it.

badp

btw

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria By the way, have you tried the Metal Drift demo yet?

badp

StrixVaria

@GnomeSlice Nope.

GnomeSlice

4:02 PM

@StrixVaria =[

Oak

@BenBrocka yea, nowadays I also buy older and cheaper cards which still kick ass as long as the consoles keep demands in check

GnomeSlice

@badp Why on Earth would we watch it again.

StrixVaria

@badp Impressive.

fbueckert

@StrixVaria Ditto. Mouse + Keyboard far outweighs controller for accuracy.

GnomeSlice

It's going to be a nearly identical video.

StrixVaria

4:02 PM

@GnomeSlice It's different!

badp

@GnomeSlice because there are new tricks.

StrixVaria

@badp What's the total time now?

badp

5:02.25

Foxtrot

Idk, i guess, I just want to play a game that the console can handle it. To me, laggy FPS can entirely kill the game.

StrixVaria

And it's 0-stars right? I stopped paying attention after I saw a 1-star run.

Ben Brocka

4:03 PM

@fbueckert there's really no reason console games shouldn't be able to use keyboard/mice setups any more other than laziness

fbueckert

@BenBrocka Other than as an excuse to exclude cross-platform play, anyways.

badp

@StrixVaria yes

agent86

@StrixVaria I have a friend who has the exact opposite problem. He refuses to play most PC games because he can't aim with a mouse

Foxtrot

granted that I am on PC now - mainly. Yes my system cost me a good chunk of change but hopefully it will last me sometime.

badp

previous run was 05:03.8

StrixVaria

4:04 PM

I'm more interested in 120-star TASs of SM64.

agent86

I managed to learn to aim with a joystick, but it took practice. I sucked at first.

badp

so... tasvideos.org/850M.html

StrixVaria

@agent86 Yeah, I have a friend like that too. It's a preference thing.

badp

although they're working on obsoleting it AFAIK

agent86

@StrixVaria I'm trying to get him to play D3 with me when it launches.

we'll see... :P

StrixVaria

4:04 PM

@agent86 There's still "aiming" in that, even though it's not first person.

Ronan Forman

@badp Why does he spend so long getting the first key?

StrixVaria

I'll be on D3 pretty much nonstop the first week.

If you want someone to play with.

badp

@RonanForman what run?

Ronan Forman

The youtube one you linked to.

badp

I guess the key actually can't be picked until then

so he decided to walk around instead of just waiting.

He still most likely gets it at the 1st possible frame.

agent86

4:07 PM

@StrixVaria yeah, I'm hoping it will be a more "gentle" introduction than a FPS

GnomeSlice

So... does anyone know how to activate a key in Desura?

StrixVaria

@BenBrocka I was going to say this but not be as witty.

GnomeSlice

@StrixVaria Normally, I would have said it was fine, but I had already voted to close before posting it here.

Since I'm usually wrong about this sort of thing.

James

@BenBrocka This makes me sad

@BenBrocka This makes me glad

Fabian

@BenBrocka If they create paid DLC with a new ending they'll only multiply the current outrage

Ben Brocka

@Fabian The only way more outrage could be made is if they somehow managed to rewrite time and make it a Day 1 DLC to fix the crappy ending

James

@Fabian Good, the fact that they are doing anything beyond setting up a FAQ or something is beyond me

Hmm, maybe its just going to be an awesome April Fools day joke :)

That would just be... awesome :D

@BenBrocka Yeah, I'm kind of torn. On the one hand, I want to shake my finger in shame. On the other hand, had they asked me to pay an extra $5 for the game with a proper ending the first go around, I wouldn't have batted an eye, so. :P

@Fabian Don't underestimate the length of dialog and cutscenes.. The last Metal Gear was a 30ish hour game if you watched/listened to it all, its about a 4 hour game with out it.

@James What a hack.

I wish we could just close every "How long is game <x>?" question as a dupe of:

Q: Is there a website that has estimated time duration for games?

I'm going down my huge backlog of unplayed Steam games and I'm thinking the best way to tackle the list is to go through the shortest games first and then concentrate on the 20+ hour ones. I'm wondering if there's a website that has an estimated amount of gameplay time for games. Hopefully withou...

completion-time

All those questions do is attract "here's how long it took for me" answers

@Sterno And then close that as a *-rec

@OrigamiRobot I was one of those lucky kids that they tested out the 'natural language' teaching method on so I only ever took I think... 3 spelling tests while I was in school? :)

Sterno

@OrigamiRobot Excellent!

James

Read a ton a books though.

@OrigamiRobot it's not really a rec if phrased properly, the real question is "how can I estimate how long a game will take to beat?"

OrigamiRobot

@BenBrocka ...It is specifically asking for a website.

@BenBrocka That one was definitely website-rec

I found that one because I noticed the completion-time tag, and it occurred to me that probably every single answer under that tag will end up pointing at HowLongToBeat.com

imho, "how long will it take me to beat X" is either too localized (assuming we could get inside your head and determine just how long it will take) or not constructive (requesting everyone post their personal experiences and debate just how fast it's possible to do)

I think completion-time questions are terribad and should all burn.

Sterno

Maybe I'll meta-post it up

We should totally do this for a game on!.
