I really need to get the Handsome collection. I played BL1 but got fed up of the driving sections as driving and shooting was too hard for me and I was going it solo. Up until then I was flying through the game doing all side quests, bagging bosses.

Have things changed for the sequel and prequel?

Only part I can think of that's hard is that Mad Mel boss.  Get a vehicle with a rocket launcher, use the "lock on target" button, and spam rockets.

Was Mad Mel the car boss? If so, I went super cheap. I died during the boss fight, but it didn't despawn the enemies. They were still riding around in the arena. So I just stood on the ramp without going in and fired off heavy duty rockets to kill everybody. Easiest boss in the game.

I love games where you can play through the sp in co-op. Only issue I have is my friends who refuse to buy the game as they already played through BL2 on ps3. Such pains in asses.

I don't know about anyone else, but I'm kind of getting annoyed by these threads. They have almost no basis for the claim you are making, they are long, almost unreadable, and, for the most part, almost no one ever agrees with you.



I bet the Wii U would sell more than 15M LTD by the end of 2015. He bet it would sell less. I lost.

I think that's what everyone does.  That, or park your car sideways at the top of the ramp and lock on your missiles.  I've beaten the game about 8-10 times and I always go cheap on that boss.

Cars are so fragile in Borderlands.  They're much improved in BL2.

I didn't think it was difficult at all. I played through it 4 times.

The trick here is to do a heap of little side missions (and boy there are plenty) for leveling up and picking up better gear.

Can't say how easy controls are when playing in the Vita but I had no problems playing the game on PC.

Recommendations:

1) Know your surroundings:

Always identify a place you can run to and take cover from enemy fire.

2) Look for balanced shields that have a high recharge rate and a good amount of capacity.

3) Pick Zero, he fucking goes invisible and his ability gives you time for your shield to recharge.

4) Equip different gun types to have different ammo to spend.

5) Increase ammo capacity for each class.

6) Don't go suicide when entering a level, when enemies are clearly visible ahead of you. Instead, initiate combat with some sniper shots. Kill as many enemies as you can from a distance and only change weapons when they get near or you run out of sniper rifle ammo.

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.                


Weren't you the one who opened a thread with the title going "games should be easy" or sth. alike? In which you complain about difficulty in games in general?

Play Super Meat Boy instead. Sounds like a game you'd enjoy.
