Epicness. I haven't put it on for a while, but the folks in HCAF got me addicted. How far are you guys now? what level/ vault hunters are you using?

I have a lvl50 Assassin and a lvl50 mechromancer.... it's amazing how different you play those two characters it takes me a good hour to get back in the groove when I switch between the two.

Damn I've had the game a while now and I'm only in the mids 20's. I spend most of my time on the guitar and writing stuff than on the PS3. Although I do get an hour or so in per day, it is usually on guardians of middle earth at the moment. Although I love Borderlands 2.

I think I got to about lvl 34 with my assassin, then I ended up getting Forza Horizon and Halo 4 and kinda stopped playing. I'll probably go back to it at some point, I can only grind in small doses though.

the first play through is the longest really... once you realize you can do multiple missions in the same location simultaneously you level up and complete things way faster OR you could just be cheap and go online to someone else's game and just hang back and get XP points...

Right now I'm pretty hooked on Far Cry 3 though... excellent game

I'm definitely batching my missions - doing all the missions in each area at the same time. I just have video game ADD, IDGAF long enough to get through many games anymore. Doing a second or third playthrough is unheard of for me, even if I really like the game.

IMO only a rare few games deserve a 2nd and 3rd play though... the only reason I did my 2nd play through with the mechromancer was because I saw a friend's Mechro in action and I thought it was just bad ass... but I don't have that much drive to play it right now since I got Far Cry 3.. which even though I'm really having a great time playing I can't see me doing a 2nd play through on any time soon.

damn... I was going to download that as soon as I was finished with Far Cry 3... probably will still D/L it anyway since I have the season pass... that and for some reason my Mechromancer has been REALLY lucky getting awesome drops... I got two legendary drops with my Assassin, started over with the Mechromancer and I think I'm up to 5 or 6 legendarys so far, including a Siren MOD which I gave to a friend since I have no interest in playing with the Siren. The sucky part is most of those legendarys dropped on my first play though so they are pretty low level...

well that sucks...big time... it's a shame... the game started on such a high note and now the DLC is just keeping up.. I did like the first DLC, I found Torque kinda meh and it seems this last one is a bust

well that just doesn't sound worth it... vehicle skins are pretty much the worst drop in the game...

yeah Deathtrap is a badass for sure.... though I've found it important to not rely on him too much or else when he goes away you're dead in the water...so I did my build to make sure he kicks major ass but I can still hold my own in a fight

yeah... I went that route as well... as well as the Anarchy skill and the skill the lets you shoot faster when the magazine is 50% empty.. those skills, a bee shield and a submachine gun can do serious damage..

Man I just cannot get into this game. LOVED the first one but I played it until I got tired of it and was never able to get back into it. Traded it in last week because I just never play it. :(

I played BL2 for maybe 2 or 3 weeks straight, then left it behind. I don't think it has quite the same allure as the first either, but still well worth playing. I need to get back to it a bit.

well I'm some what let down... after finishing the main story of the Hammerlock DLC with my Mechromancer and getting some pretty damn good loot in the vault I figured I'd go back and do it with my Assassin so I could see what other great stuff I could get.... and I got zip, Jackenstein didn't drop the gun he normally drops and the crates in the Vault didn't have a single purple far less legendary item, I got one OK sniper rifle out of the ENTIRE thing... talk about 2 hours wasted... and the worst part is that's it... done... can't get back in to that vault again.. so much crap.. I find that if they are only give you one crack at it god damn it better have some good shit in there
