I'm well past the 100 hour mark now.  I've got a lvl 50 Commando and a lvl 46 Mechromancer.  Playthrough 2 difficulty spikes are a bit wonky at times, but it's been an absolute blast.  I've played 90% of my time with it as a team of 3 and it's been great.  I want to get my mechro up to 50 so I can swap her into my main game (with my friends) some times. 

The DLC has been really fun so far as well, and the added raid bosses are a great inclusion.  My group finished the first DLC and had a lot of fun with it, and we're about half way through the 2nd DLC.  So far, I'm liking that quite a bit as well.


I'm annoyed with some updates though specifically changing the vault hunter (who gives you weapons) appearance rate to 0 and nerfing The Bee (amp shot shield) which may or may not affect the 360 version.

The Mike Mamaril fix was necessary.  He'd be in Sanctuary EVERY TIME.  That was clearly broken.  They also didn't make his appearance rate 0 -- I've seen him 3 or 4 times since the update, if not more.

The Bee nerf sort of needs to happen.  the Bee/Conference Call combo is absurdly overpowered.  I assume it hasn't been rolled out to 360 yet (where I play) b/c it's still crazy powerful.

Man I love the internet, haha.

  • Yeah, owning a MAME cab only leads to owning real ones. MAME just isn't good enough. It's a gateway drug.

After 20 hours, I got bored, lost interest, then trade it in when WWE '13 came out.

I admit a slight exaggeration on the zero percent figure but throughout my playthroughs after the fix I have not seen him.

I'm curious if they fixed the issue with the Deathtrap healing enemies or trying to give shields to the player while they are down.

I've never seen this Mike Mamaril guy.  As for the Bee/Conference Call combo I don't know why it needs to be fixed.  In general I don't farm; if I end up with great stuff by chance then lucky me.  What's the harm in having an overpowered combo if you're playing against bots?

I guess you are very unlucky or bought the game after they "fixed" his appearance rate.  Most of the time he gave me guns I only cared to sell to buy that slightly better grenade mod and the rest of the time whatever money I got was lost when death awaited me five minutes later.

The Bee was something that made weaker guns I liked better still worthwhile.  I can see their view that it promotes everyone using the same equipment but if they didnt want that then make the 1304 whats his name a better shield so I can listen to his ramblings.
