Forums - Sony Discussion - I stopped playing Borderlands 2 because it's too damn hard....

I got this game last christmas for the PS Vita because I always wanted to try it out since everyone says its a good game. I play it, it was hard but I thought to myself "You're a noob right now its okay" so I keep playing it. My shield kept getting damaged too fast and reloaded too slow, I was ALWAYS running out of ammo, I try buying ammo but I DON'T HAVE ENOUGH MONEY. So I get my skill up to finally ignore my struggle in the game then I run into this boss which is IMPOSSIBLE to beat on your own! I would take all the ammo I needed for my gun until it was FULL and wasted ALL my ammo on him and his health was still around 80% full WTF! So I go read online to see why this game is soo hard and I read somewhere that this game is MAINLY a mulitplayer game. I finally get a buddy online (I had to wait around 20 minutes dying over and over before a player showe up). Me and him barely makes it and FINALLY beats the boss. I get stuck again on this one part of the game and I wait and wait for a buddy from online to show up and no one comes! So I just decided to NOT play the game anymore because it's too hard. I would still play this game if it had a "Beginners Mode" or something. This is why I criticize hard games. If hard games weren't impossible to beat I would BUY the NEXT game and enjoy the rest of the franchise. I'M NOT SAYING all games should be really easy. I LOVE challenges but I HATE when games are impossible to beat and just cause alot of frustration. But maybe I just got the WRONG version of the game. Not many people play PS Vita anymore and maybe if I got this game for PS3 I would love it! since way more players play on that console but idk. I'll still consider Borderlands 3 when it comes out but Borderlands 2 on the Vita it soo hard for me.

Do you do the side missions to get more XP? Are you upgrading your skills and using your badass points? Do you grab guns to resell them to get money? I'm only level 13 and not really finding it hard.

Also, the game scales up if you have more players. The game is perfectly playable solo though.



Games with RPG mechanics are like penises, they'll become softer eventually if you play enough with them.

Great sentence. You're indeed a wise man hahaha.

On topic, stopped playing Borderlands 2 because I found it very hard, but it's just not my type of game I think. And I couldn't never find what's great about it neither. 



I don't remember having any problems with Borderlands 2 as far as difficulty was concerned.

Play online with friends. The game is much more fun in Co-op and will be much easier. But on the other hand when I played the game solo, It was pretty easy, as long has you do the side quest and don't go in gun blazing have yourself surround and out-gunned the game won't be hard at all.

Sounds to me like you simply underpowered or too low in level. Go do some side quest. Maybe, your simply playing a character that's too hard on solo. Play as Axton or Salvador if you're playing solo.



Already knew it was you just by reading the title lol.What game is not too hard for you?Try taking your time and doing side quests.Those types of games require that.



My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

I'm not sure what to say. The first play-through is basically the beginner's mode. Subsequent play-throughs are much harder. I've beaten it on the first two modes, completely single-player. Perhaps it's a lot harder on Vita, I played on PS3. The first play-through really isn't very tough for the most part.

What boss is too hard? What strategy are you using? Are you using the right elemental weapons? Borderlands is ALL about using the right weapons at the right time, especially when they compliment your skills.

Explain more about what's going on. Borderlands 2 is one of my favorite games ever and I'm far from being a hardcore gamer.



Borderlands 2 is actualy a very easy game... do sidequests, level up, sell weapons that drop (its like a pinata on this game a wespon drop every other kill almost) and use the money to buy better weapons and shield to complement the ones you get as drops. It is easier with at least one ally cause you can revive each other but its also easy solo.
