I personally do not care at all.  I had a blast tonight and always welcome friends to join in. That mission was great while I was playing solo, but became infinitely better when you joined.  There's something about friend banding together to reach one goal that just feels exciting.  


In fact, I love how Borderlands makes it so easy to jump in and out if someone else's game.  I think if someone has a problem with others joining in, then it would be best for them to just change the game settings.

Here is my issue with Borderlands 1 which I played a bit with Aspro, if you are not playing simultaneously for the most part someone will be very overpowered.  I love joining others games, I really enjoy helping someone if they need help but the game refused to let me play Aspro's missions until I reached those missions myself. So we had to speed through my game which I dont like to do. Also Aspro started to be a far higher level so he really powerful, I enjoy the challenge. It sucks cause its not like Aspro can do anything, he cant level down. I cant play his game unless we get through mine so it creates this unbalance. It was a blast playing with him though so I was fine with it I just wish there was a way to even up players across games.

Mixed emotions on Hell Yeah! and Tokyo Jungle...

...

Tokyo Jungle feels JUST like one of those quirky, seldom-seen Japanese-ie games... Think Tail of the Sun, EVO or Cubivore... It has a bit of stealth, a bit of action, cool concepts... even has doggy-style sex! It's certainly odd... not in a bad way, but definitely strange! Another "I'll play more and give more impressions later" kind of game!




I enjoyed Cubivore and Tail of the Sun and A Dog's Life (to a lesser extent), so it sounds like Tokyo Jungle is right up my alley.  How big was the download do you recall?

Borderlands 2 does not do that as far as  I know.  I've always jumped right into any mission that Bear and Leo were playing.

If you are ahead of them or at the same spot as them you would never notice. Maybe they fix it in this game.

I just realized I messed up my play schedule. Halo 4 comes out when, first week of Nov, AC3 on the end of Oct. I have not played Halo ODST, Reach or AC: Revelations. RE6 comes out next week, after that Xcom and those games are so big they can take up my entire month. Crap. Maybe I can squeeze in the Halo games before RE6, I really want to play that at lauch. AC3 can wait.

Well he can join you and do the main missions he has already done. What happened with me and aspro is that I couldnt play his story missions until I completed all the story missions before that so he had to enter my game.

Last night, I completed a part of the story with Bear, then today when I got to that part, I was asked if I wanted to skip it.

Yeah Higher levels can always jump in. But I don;t think lower levels can join a higher level game if it is too far ahead of where they are in the campaign.  At least that is how it worked in 1.

Vader's point still stands either way, which is haivng an overpowered co-op partner join your game changes the difficulty down to such a level that both parties are just on cruise-control.

RE5 does the same thing with weapons. When you join someones game you can bring any weapon you want, so by the time you play the game a few times you have every gun fully upgraded. This happens in single player too, on my recent playthrough I had to not use my weapons cause they were so overpowered.

I'm sure the internet knows. It was nebulous to me.

=-=-

In yesterday's Podcast Beyond IGN editors said, yeah, starting with Borderlands 2 we rolled out our new review system. Different summary and return to the 100 point scale from the 20 point scale they adopted "when Hilary was in charge".

No fan-fare, nothing special.  If anyone can find where they address this on their site for me that'd be great (but I am not sure they did, since the thing I found yesterday was the old announcement from when they moved to 100 -> 20.

Once again...a move in the game world that completely baffles me. Mass Effect Trilogy on Xbox and PC, where you can already get the trilogy. The two consoles that don't have the entire series, come later or not at all?




Huh? It's coming to ps3 too. First time ME1 is on ps3.

After the PC and Xbox...and why not throw this Trilogy pak on the Wii U instead of ME3 as a standalone game?
