Borderlands 2

"Everything's better."

I WANT MORE SIREN UPDATES DAMMIT.

Scott there got a bit giddy while explaining the possibilities of the Gunzerker. Also, miniguns apparently confirmed.

I watched the leaked footage several times and noted down the Gunzerker's abilities. At least the ones shown.

Blue:

Filled to the Brim: Increases the Magazine size of all weapon types. Also increases the your ammo carrying capacity with all weapon types. I couldn't see the amount in the video I had.

Yippee Ki Yay: Killing an Enemy while dual wielding increases the amount of time you can dual wield. Next Level: Increases 0.7 seconds per kill.

Get Some: Shooting an Enemy decreases the cooldown on Dual Wield. This effect can only happen every three seconds. Next Level: Cooldown reduction -1 second per shot.

Red:

Sexual Tyrannosaurus: Taking Damage gives you heath regeneration for five seconds. This effect does not stack multiple times. Next Level: Regenerates 0.4x of your Maximum Health per second.

Just Got Real: Increases the Damage you deal with all gun types. The Lower your health the greater the damage becomes. Next Level: up to +12% Gun Damage.

All Out of Bubblegum: Your Fire Rate increases when your shields are depleted. Next level: Fire Rate +12%

I'm the Juggernaut: Killing an Enemy reduces all damage you take for a few seconds. Next Level: Damage Rate -6%? (Not sure)

Holy... that skill tree is memetastic.

Also cool stuff, with the red tree looking to make you absurdly hard to kill when you're not being focused by a small number of enemies with rapid firing capability, but mostly memetastic.

Wonder if all of the character's trees will be this meme-filled, or if it's just relegated to the Zerker.

I know where most of these names for the skills come from but "Sexual Tyrannosaurus" leaves me clueless. Ideas anyone?

I refuse to google it.

Challenge. Accepted.

*two hours of disturbing searching on Google Image*

Wait, what if it's on youtube...

*5 seconds later*

Apparently from "Predator"

Singlehandedly the best line in that movie.

Yeah, I've only heard Ferr say that one time. Meaning was lost on me.

Rule of thumb: If you want to know what something is, don't Google Image search it. At least not with Safesearch off.

Yeah, they seem to love throwing in those Shoutouts.

Well, we've seen a bit of the Gunzerker now, and we know that there is a Siren. Albeit with very little knowledge of what she does. She had an assault rifle in the video, but that was about it.

Honestly, I can't be the only on wanting to know about the Hunter and Soldier replacements...

If I so much as hear the words "Triple" or "Quadruple" in relation to Anarchy of any kind, I will come rainbows. Seriously Gearbox. Do it. Then let me dual-wield it.

Dual Wielded Quadruple Anarchies? That's for pussies. Real men Dual Wield "The Chopper". Yep. Becuase why the hell not.

Or Rocket launchers. The possibilities alone are awesome.

Let's hope they actually make Rocket Launcher's useful. I hated that. I love rocket launchers in general but in this game they just suck. Except for the Horde one. THAT one was fun.

Dual wield two of those and the splash damage is insane XD

What's the point of electric rockets anyways when they're useless?

So they could say they made a game with Electric Rockets. To the unknowing, they would sound really awesome, when in reality, they barely scratch enemies. My favourites were Corrosive Rockets anyway. The Corrosive Rhino, along with the Hellfire and the Pestilent Defiler made playing as my Siren Class a pure delight. Everything either melted or bust into flames.

On a different note, did anyone hate in Multiplayer how Modded Weapons and Shields had a giant outbreak, to the point where practically every Multiplayer game has them? It annoys me, since it tends to suck out all the fun of working Co-Operatively, and just makes it a Loot session, like when you use them to grind on Crawmerax (I don't feel bad using modded weapons on him, since fuck Crawmerax)?

Well, that's why you play with friends that DON'T mod savegames.

The multiplayer needs a real tune-up. Everyone following the host's plotline is lame: I hate joining in a match where the host is one mission ahead of me and then we go through half the story and when it ends i'm dumped back in freakin' fyrestone.

And yeah. Modded weapons. Screw the cheaters with a Combustion Hellfire on full auto.

Oh wow, this is definitely something I'm looking forward too.

I hope they have another Explosive favoured guy like Brick, also punching enemies to death was great.

This is sad.

Want so hard.

That was a really cool gesture from Gearbox, it's nice how they interact with fans like that.

On topic, I am super excited for this game.

Gearbox... Really does care about their fans.
