Regarding Borderlands 2:

FUCK Caustic Caverns. 2000 enemies and 500 bullets is not my idea of a fun area.
lel


borderlands 2 is my worst fear realized. Borderlands 1, just hella addictive.

Haven't even had time for Borderlands 2, Torchlight 2 has been all I've been playing lately. The game is a huge improvement over the first.

I think I made the mistake of playing Torchlight II first before getting Diablo 3, lots of people are saying that TLII>D3.

And also just finished playing Walking Dead: Episode 3, and what is up with all the well-written depressing games this year?  :sadpanda:

Diablo 3 is great. I know for some people it was supposed to be this game that you could play for 10 years without getting tired of it but I got a good 50 hours out of it and enjoyed myself very much.

Hey, I need game recommendations. Preferably an RPG or strategy game that will give me a lot of hours and is in the $20 range. Space themed is a bonus.

Well for action RPGs, Torchlight 2 came out which you can get for $20 and will definitely last you 20+ hours. Legend of Grimrock is on sale at gog for $7.50. Other great RPGs you can get at gog are Fallout (post apocalyptic), Baldur's Gate, Neverwinter Nights, Icewind Dale (both fantasy), Planscape Torment (really fucking weird fantasy), Ultima (mix of fantasy and sci-fi). You could get any of those for about $5-$10 each.

For strategy games there's Heroes of Might and Magic 3. Warlock (demo is available on Steam). Warlock (the demo is available on Steam). Age of Wonders. Disciples 2. If you're into card games, GoG recently got Etherlords. I've also heard good things about Spectromancer on steam, which was partially designed by Richard Garfield. And, speaking of whom, there are actual Magic The Gathering games on Steam.

------
edit: I decided to give Star Trek Online a shot since I heard a good number of the Paragon Studios team ended up there. I've been really surprised with how good the game is, considering how disappointing Champions Online is. The ground combat is bland and basic MMO fare, but the space combat is pretty fun. And they've got a fantastic F2P model (which, again, is surprising considering how bad CO's was). Free players get access to all of the game's content and features. You have less bag space, but since your ship acts as a portable merchant you can buy and sell stuff to then that's not a big concern. The biggest disadvantage that free players seem to get is that you have to buy respecs. Other than that, it feels like "hey, here's our game. Maybe if you really like it you'll buy a cool ship or a key or something? That'd be neat. Have fun." (They do that thing like TF2 where you'll randomly get locked boxes that you can only open with keys you buy with real money).

Almost forgot to mention there's an ingame currency that you can convert to their cash shop currency, so if you get really into the game you can even buy cash shop stuff without paying anything.

i've played Star Trek Online, and it was alright. I stopped playing after awhile though, because it got a little boring.

I'm downloading the torchlight 2 demo from steam right now, so I'll try that out.

Is Borderlands 1 worth it?

Personally, I thought Borderlands 1 was super boring. The sequel is way better.

I beat Borderlands 2 last night with my friends. It took us 50 hours to complete, including most of the side-quests. Just got started on True Vault Hunter Mode.

Yeah I agree... especially if you have played Diablo 2 and were anticipating 3. It was a massive disappointment in my opinion  :tdwn

True Vault Hunter Mode is weird. Because of your gear, the easy stuff is easier. Because of the difficulty spikes, the hard stuff is harder.

There are a few fights I'm really not looking forward to in TVHM.

SPOILERS

Specifically, Jack's flying ship thingy, the whole fight right after where you have to disconnect Angel from the Eridium pipes, and the Warrior fight. Oh, and the Saturn robot outside of Fyrestone.

Yeah, I feel Torchlight 2 is possibly the best of that genre at the moment. And once the mod tools come out its longevity will only go up.

Lol, yeah. It took me like, 20 minutes to get the Bunker's health bar down to just a few centimeters until I died. Took far less time with friends, but man I really don't wanna do that alone in new game +
