I haven't finished but based on your description it sounds a lot like Crackdown.

In case ou're thinking about going thru the second play-thru be prepared for more challenged game even though you're playing the same levels.Everything and everyone is better and stronger, even the skag dogs are brutal at the first level.

I finished up the Zombie DLC, very nice. The humor is still very entertaining, without being obnoxious. I went back to my second playthrough, at level 48, and the game is way too easy. Before I started the DLC, the skags were relatively challenging. Now, I can blast through anybody with one shot.

I also thought the second play-through was easier. The only mobs that were harder were the guardians because of their beefed up shields and my lack of electric damage.
I might have been handicapping myself in the 1st play-through though, by not using any elemental weapons. I used a hellfire smg and a x4 acid shotgun for variety, but still ended up using a high damage shotgun through most of the 2nd play.

Yeah, I thought the second playthrough was a cakewalk, and I was using a level 24 Hellfire SMG for pretty much the entire thing.

after i hit level 50 with Roland, i started a lillith. i finished my first playthrough last night at level 35. She is a blast to play with, but if you are looking for a challenge...she isn't the way to go. If you set her up right she is a god.

I found the difficulty in this game to be very inconsistant. Was harder at the beggining, and a few parts in the middle, the end was relatively easy with all the crazy weapons. All the second half bosses were simple, including the last boss which took < 1min.

I realize that you can make the game more difficult by using lower weapons and other upgrades, but that seems to go completely against one of the main selling points the developers went for.

Is playthrough 2.5 much more difficult than 2?

yes. all enemies are level 49 - 51.

The Secret Armory of General Knoxx

Here's a Destructoid link about it that I can't read since it's blocked at work:

Your images lived a short life pinata. Both are now dead.

Gramps' link has them both. Just the promo images Gearbox sent out.

Damn, that is huge! Good thing they're raising the level cap simultaneously.

Call me an enemy of fun, but "Borderlands" is striking me as the most underhyped game, turning into the most overhyped game. I remember being intrigued by it but shocked by the lack of hype, then I read months of hype from players. I finally borrowed a copy from a friend and I'm completely underwhelmed.

A very dull, tedious experience is the best way I can sum it up. I'm currently a Level 22 Berserker and I'm forcing myself to just finish the game; I honestly can't imagine playing through more than once. My friend who I borrowed it from said if the storyline is putting me to sleep now, I'm going to despise the ending.

So, after buying this during the Best Buy B2G1F sale many moons ago, I've finally put this in my Xbox. Gotta say I'm really liking it so far. I decided to go with the sniper class with the first play through, so if any one wants to do some multiplayer, shoot me an invite (tag is in the sig).

Hey pal...been a long time since we hooked up. Though I'm now playing Mass Effect (first one to get to the second one) if you need a guest to run thru let me know. If you haven't done so get the Zombieland DLC, it's well worth it.

It's not a story-driven game, that's true. It's about loot and multiplayer. Have you played online with anyone? Have you looked at any other classes besides the Berserker?

I still haven't played with anyone and I had it pegged as my GOTY before I played Uncharted. Single player is a blast, but yeah, there is no story to be found.

because it's not designed as a solo player experience. sure, you can play it that way, but it's infinitely more fun when you do a run through with a buddy.

how is the single player campaign?

This post was directly above...

...this one and pretty much answers the question.

Just started playing this last week. I'm a lvl 31 Berserker, and I can barely put the game down. Bought it in October and it sat to play some shorter games. Most fun I've had with a game in a very long time.

I couldn't get into Fallout 3 at all, but I'm loving this game, even playing by myself.

I played a little bit online and it didn't improve things that much. I have also tried the Hunter and Soldier, which didn't feel as fun as the Berserker.
