I'm liking the Assassin Cunning tree a lot.

It's like an unholy combo of Siren and Gunslinger Hunter.

I had the game pre-ordered, but forgot to stop by and pick it up yesterday, i was so busy :(

I love shops that don't care about street dates.

Just bought it with pre-order bonusses.

I haven't had a chance to play the story yet, just hopping about in friends games online, but so far having a lot of fun with the game.

I've just preordered this
I managed to get my university reasing list down to £35 from the £230 prediction given to me by amazon, so I decided that I could put up with not drinking or eating out for the next 2 weeks to pay for it.
It also unlocks the mechromancer class because its a preorder, so now I don't know which class to play as

The Mechromancer will become available to you, free, when it is released.

It was not finished by release.

I know that, it comes out in October, but it does unlock the mechromancer, and I haven't finished the first yet, and by the time I do, the mechromancer will likely have been released.
Even without her I can't decide anyway.

Gah! GAME cancelled my order because the bank said I was committing fraud, as I haven't changed my address with them so they think I've hacked the account

Epic; oh so worth it.

Waiting for 15 to use our golden keys, but. . .VERY YES!

I liked this bit. Especially the "Gate" part after.

I just bought it on my lunch break. The case is sitting on my desk... suffice it to say, productivity has been low...

Nah, it's spoilers in general. They're being dumb today.

Whitey, if you think that part was fun...wait till later. The Booms are fun, but my god...there's a giant Bullymong who is fething hilarious.

Or exceedingly high, depending on what you're meant to be doing.

I'm sifting through SQL code and comparing phrases involving harazardous things making sure that a code for, "cancerous inhalant" is not accidentally using the same code as, "non-toxic, safe to ingest"...

Ugh, don't talk to me about SQL.

I was working with my dad to finish my apprenticeship and I was given a few SQL things to sort out whilst I was there. The mind-numbing tedium of it all...

Quote his post and copy/paste the URL for the image into your browser. I got a 404 error doing that. Thus, my conclusion is the link is broke.

Edit: All of a sudden it's working now. The Spoiler AND the image URL.

Got the game today and I am somewhat unimpressed. Don't get me wrong though, the game looks and plays very well. But I am not finding myself enjoying it, I dunno what I was expecting really.

The game's pretty fun, been playing it solo before i start the co-op. Picked the assasin on impulse but i regret it as the shotguns and snipers are less fun than i thought they'd be.

The assassin uses Pistols really well, Especially Jakobs pistols.

The Sniper tree does not really shine on Zer0 until later on.

Axton's Gunpowder tree suffers from the same issue.

Have been having the most fun with the pistols. Really wanted to use stealth + shotgun but i can only see a couple perks later on that might be useful (i think there's a 'backstab' style one and a Vanguard biotic charge thingy). It's still servicable but defo not a very efficinet way to play.

Kan has tried to get me to buy BL2 and I am afraid I was having none of it

The first game was dull as dullness and I have no intention of wasting my money or time on the second one when it is more of the same.

And more golden keys too? Nice.

I missed Shift at first, in case anyone else did.

Also - in case people missed it, you do not need to have 5 per tier to unlock abilities, you need to have spent five, per tier unlocked, to unlock abilities.

Which is to say - if you put 10 points into tier one abilities, tier three abilities are available without choosing any from tier two.

I missed that for too long, in case anyone else did as well.

I'm in the cunning tree mostly, but what I normally do is iron sights with a pistol until either my shield dies, I need to move to a better piece of cover or an enemy gets in melee range/enemy is a Badass. From there I pop stealth and move to a new location if it's one of the first two, or if it's the third situation, I equip my shotgun, sneak behind the enemy and hit them in the backside with the shotgun. With 5 points in ambush and Kunai knives handing out Deathmarks to the enemy, When I fire the shotgun, something dies.

Dropped a Badass Goliath in one shot from the shotty using that tactic.

Has anyone else noticed that there's no decapitation?
I've been popping heads with a high powered sniper rifle, and despite there being meat chunks flying everywhere, the targets' craniums were still very much intact.

Got the game last night and I'm playing through as Zer0 to start. I'm only level 6 so I don't have many skills yet. I had a lot of difficulty with Captain Flynt because the only reasonable pistol I had did flaming damage (so it was useless on the fire boss), and my other weapon was a rifle that didn't seem to do much damage either. Took me 4 deaths to put him down because every time he would knock me down it would be out of sight of an enemy, leaving me unable to get a second wind. I forgot just how much low levels sucked to play solo in the first game!

Really? I found it to be fairly easy. You just have to cloak alot to give yourself some breathing room.
Also, the shotgun is your friend. Especially Jacob's.

Yeah that's part of the problem. I haven't found a shotgun that has more than one round in the chamber with a long reload time. It 1 shots enemies, but I can't really do anything while the weapon reloads for 4 seconds, so I get eaten alive. Once I find a decent shotgun with a reasonable clip size I should have an easier time.

Also, I intend to go sniper on this character, which I realize does not really shine until later levels, but I like the look of the tree.

Really? I keep finding shotguns with 3 rounds, giving me about 2 shots before reloading.
Sure, it's risky, but it can 1 hit kill most enemies. Especially if you use decoy.

Tediore Shotgun is best shotgun!
