Rocket launchers are awesome when used for Second Winds, as usually it only takes one shot for a guaranteed revive. They are definitely a lot more effective in Borderlands 2, though the ammo is unbelievably expensive (that's fair enough) - they really are a support weapon. I'm playing through as a Gunzerker for my third character and dualling up my SMG with a rocket launcher for ripping through enemies.

Yeah this is what I thought as well, but it is definitely not starting me at those fast travel locations, just at the start of the map so to speak. Oh well, just have to live with. My issue is I can think I have a few hours to play then really do not, but that is not going to change and is what it is. I may just start alt tabbing out of it and leaving it running. :laugh:

I don't know if someone answered this already, but make sure when you're done playing that you press start then quit (instead of just turning off your system). That's what I always did during the first one and it seemed to make me start up in a relatively close place to the last time I played. If you just turn off your system, it usually throws you back a ways. Though that was on the 360, so I don't know if it's different on the PC.

Has anyone figured out how/where the badass ranks are stored if you're playing on an Xbox? I'd really like to reset them and start from total scratch, but I don't know where they are saved. It's definitely not attached to your character save.

shift codes good for 30 mins or so

Yup, just entered the ps3 on mine and girls console. Now we both have like 5 gold keys :)

This game is addictive. I did the 99 million dollars cheat and have just been playing the slot machines. haha Have not gotten anything good from them tho.

Game is fun and never got into the first Borderlands. B2 is MUCH better.

And I HATE....HATE....Clap Trap. Annoying ass robot. Wish you could shoot him.

99 million dollars cheat? :huh:

Gotta love the game for some of its originality "Tiny Tina worlds most dangerous 13 year old!" hahaha willa dmit ive wasted quite abit of eridum on upgrades not realising i could get a daily for the backpack till i read about it i must be going blind lol well least i have more snper shots they are handy against some the slow bosses =P

WinPC: 5BWB3-JWZRS-RT3JJ-BTJB3-RRJKH

Get'em while they are hot..

Are those keys first-come first-serve? I tried using the PC one and it wouldn't work (on steam, that is....it said it was an invalid code).

EDIT: Ah, I see, seems like they are not game codes, but in-game codes....guess I should read more into these things. :p

No, Randy Pitchford said they're for testing out the Shift system again. They're valid for another hour and twenty minutes.

I finished it today and pretty much a couple of hours later i started "true vault hunter mode". So far like BL1, not having too much trouble but i know soon it will get very difficult. The minecraft weapon from Caustic Caverns so far is making light work of everything. It is so powerful.

Took me 50 hours to finish the first playthrough, that is also trying to finish every side mission i could find. Been a long time since i've sat and played a game for that long in such a short space of time. Really shows what a great job Gearbox did with this game. Everything they changed has made the game better. The story was much better and had some big moments in the story and great characters.

My Game of 2012 by far at the moment. Although i'm sure Assassins Creed 3 will be up there by the end of October.

daily for the backpack? what is this sorcery you speak of?

More SHiFT codes courtesy of Randy Pitchford! :)

PC: CBC3B-KKSFS-XTTTB-B3J33-RCW6R

360: CBKBB-RSJWF-JXFJR-5XT3T-5RX3J

PS3: CBKBB-RSJZB-RZBKJ-9TW3T-5RXR6

These codes are valid until 2pm UK time (so just under two hours).

daily for the backpack? what is this sorcery you speak of?

In the first game you had claptrap for a bigger back pack, in the second i have been lost and going "NEED BIGGER BACKPACK!!!!" and spending the Eridium on clip upgrades at the blackmarket not realising that you can get a daily special for the backpack.

In the first game you had claptrap for a bigger back pack.

I did not know this, was it part of the "expansions"?

---------------------

I am still considering getting the game, don't know yet, because I also want GW2 as well.

    • EA launches in-game advertising platform for brands to "connect with audiences" by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The gaming giant Electronic Arts is exploring more ways to inject real-life brands into its games. Announced today as EA Advertising, the new platform is attempting to make it easier for brands to reach out for deals with the company and put their products inside titles like EA Sports FC, Madden, NHL, Skate, or The Sims. EA revealed that its EA Sports side of the company brings in "hundreds of millions of players across console, PC, and mobile" every year. Fan engagement of these titles was also touted as being "extraordinary," with 23,000 NFL seasons worth of games being played in Madden NFL daily, while EA Sports FC sees over a billion matches a day. “Players come to EA’s games and live experiences every day to play, watch, create and connect,” said David Tinson, Chief Experiences Officer at Electronic Arts. “That gives brands a meaningful opportunity to show up in ways that add value and respect the player experience, while maintaining authenticity in the worlds our teams are building. With EA Advertising, we’re helping brands become part of those moments in ways that are relevant and built for players.” Using the new program EA Advertising, brands will be able to inject their products into games in real-time via dynamic placement. EA says partners will have access to everything from stadium signage in sports games and targeted adverts to in-game content custom-made for the brands. These are described as additions designed to "enhance, not disrupt" experiences. "In these interactive gameplay environments, brands become part of the game itself, reflecting how players engage with advertising in real-world contexts," adds the company "Brands can activate across live environments, tailoring placements to meet campaign objectives, and update campaigns with ongoing optimization informed by aggregated engagement insights." Current real-world brand partnerships EA has built into its games include Visa (EA Sports FC and College Football), Lowe's (EA Sports FC, Madden NFL, and College Football), Red Bull (EA SPORTS FC), Xfinity and Peacock (EA SPORTS FC), and Mountain Dew’s (College Football).

    • UK to ban under-16s from social media following a six-week trial with teenagers by Paul Hill Credit: Pexels A few months ago, Neowin reported that the UK was trialing a social media ban with 300 teenagers for six weeks, that testing has come to an end, and Prime Minister Keir Starmer has announced that the country will ban under-16s from social media. Starmer said that this technology is making children unhappy and making it easier for bullies to harass and abuse them. He continued to talk about the addictive nature of social media, saying that it uses an infinite scroll designed to lock users in for hours. He said this interferes with children doing their homework, reading, playing with friends outside, and going to bed on time. Tackling the idea that nothing can be done about social media, Starmer said: The government’s action won’t stop at social media either, the PM said. It plans to take action on gaming services and livestreaming platforms. Right now, he said, strangers can contact any child unchecked. He said this wouldn’t happen in real life, and the government is going to stop it from happening online, too. The Labour government has overseen the introduction of the Online Safety Act, a big change to the internet which includes age verification on adult websites. This has led to a fair bit of backlash, but overall, the government is pushing ahead with these changes.

    • HONOR Robot Phone unveils first Cinematic Video at Shanghai International Film Festival by Steven Parker Global AI device ecosystem company HONOR announced on June 13 that its revolutionary HONOR Robot Phone made its professional imaging debut at the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival (SIFF), demonstrating the result of its mobile videography capabilities for the first time. As the official mobile photography and videography partner of the 28th Shanghai International Film Festival, HONOR empowers this premier cinematic event with cutting-edge mobile imaging technology. Marking the global debut of the first cinematic video it captured, Robot Phone breaks down the boundaries between mobile imaging and professional filmmaking, ushering in a new paradigm for the deep integration of technology and cinematic art.

With its exceptional stability and cinema-grade imaging capabilities, the device redefines the art of portrait filmmaking, faithfully reproducing the rich tonal gradations and nuanced color transitions associated with film photography. The result is a new level of visual sophistication, creating high-end cinematic imagery that seamlessly blends atmosphere with narrative tension. The video released for the Robot Phone showcases the powerful stabilization capabilities of its built-in gimbal system, delivering exceptionally smooth handheld camera movement while preserving full image quality.
