Game is great, but the save system is horrible. I assumed it would put you back at the nearest checkpoint when you resume from a save, but it puts you back at the last fast travel point, which can be miles away from where you want to be plus all the enemies in between will have respawned.

Yo, how are you on level 28 on this game already? Are you even sleeping?
There are players that have already hit 50.

One UK gamer on my friend's list is already at 35, the game only hit last Friday over here.

Save system isn't that bad Imo, I mean why start an area or mission if you don't plan on finishing it. Being spawn at the fast travel just gives an opportunity to gain more XP.

Yeah I've been putting a lot of time in with some homies. I'm pretty sure 360 is around the 30's as well. We need get a session in Lameaim. And Spartan I dunno why but our games always have lag. I Played with another friend of mine from UK and game ran flawlessly.

I'm down for a co-op sesh. My siren is level 30-something and my gunzerker is around level 20.


I also have millions and millions of dollars so i can give you guys some cash if you need it so you can spam the slot-machines and get good guns. That is if you need them, of course.

You shouldn't use wi-fi to game. You should use an ethernet cable to directly connect your xbox to your router.

360, how are you stacking loot in this game?

I was pretty good about picking up and selling shit in the first game, but havent redeveloped the habit in this new one.

Honestly, I used the age old, 2 controller dupe glitch and gave my characters millions of dollars. I was one of the first things I did upon getting the game. That glitch has existed since ps1 days. lol

Diablo 1 comes to memory.

Pretty much. I'm thinking I need to glitch my shit out.

Anyone else doing the golden key glitch? Do you need to have two characters at the same level to make it worthwhile?

Started again with the Siren. Somehow seems easier than the Commando and I'm appreciating the game a lot more this time around.

level 13 commando.

playing the pirated PC version so no online/co-op and i'm having a great time. i didn't get number 1 because i hate rpg's and most rpg elements of games, but this is pretty much judy a full fledged shooter with a shit ton of guns.

its super fun solo so far for anyone who likes single player.

beat the game at lvl 32 and started "true vault hunter mode". im now at lvl 39 getting much better loot. in 50 hours i found 2 orange items and they werent even that good.

ive been doing what 360 is doing and just spamming the shit out of the slot machine. ive found most of the better guns in the slot machine or from Michael Mamaril.
i have a method where i play the slots until i have 1 space left in the inventory, go find michael and grab his item, go sell all the bunk guns then exit and save and repeat.

i dont know how far you guys are but there are great spots for farming guns and money from bosses. the bunk3r boss is a great example. killing him gives you at least 2-3 purple items and a grip of money. just do that over and over and you should level up fast and find some usable items.

I'm 43. Is there a Normal Terramorphous and a super vault hunter mode Terramorphous or just one and whatever? Cause I remember trying to fight it right after I beat playthrough 1 and it was just too ridiculous.

It's a lot like the first one, but a little more in depth and just more fun. Trading/Dueling system, Slots, Black market, etc. I would recommend copping it.

When you start getting lvl 50 orange weapons, you're going to think someone hacked your damn game. Some of these weapons are ridiculous.

The review I wrote on the game finally got posted up, but basically it's the conclusion everyone came to into the thread already.

IMO, the game doesn't require skill. I don't find it challenging at all. I glitch money and that's it. This game isn't serious enough business for me to run through it legitimately.

Playing through legit with one character is one thing, but if you want to power level a different class after grinding with your primary class isn't too uncommon.

Edit: Also farming is an essential part of this game, on your 2.5 playthrough farming bosses repeatedly to get the best loot is expected. Hell that's the entire point of Terramorphous.
