Gearbox confirms new Borderlands 2 class and level cap increase

The title, the phantom pain could be referring to the fact that his arm is missing, and amputees sometimes get phantom pains.

@Celiria_Rose @Tripwolf @StaticPenguin Gearbox does sell games, and not pudding right?

@Tripwolf @wavelength121 I think you need to deal with a few things, yourself. Bethesdea has been burning people for years, and has one of the reputations for releasing the buggiest games ever....but is Fallout 4 going to sell 4 million copies? More than likely. Your point isn't valid, considering this isn't how the industry works...If it where EA would have closed it's doors a long ass time ago.

Listen guys I'm sure there's a GEARBOX FUCKED UP ALIENS thread somewhere, you guys complaining should probably go there and bitch. This link is to inform fans of Borderlands 2 about new DLC, unless you are just looking for an argument.

F your season passes. Beat the game and grinding for weapons tied to single mobs is stupid. Level cap? This better actually have a LOT of content considering you used the money of ANOTHER GAME from ANOTHER COMPANY to finance your half assed BL2. Game was over hyped. I swear it feels like all the good humor was used up by the time you past the desert.

Your 'rare' weapons are a dime a dozen and their quality sucks.

"All done with the money that we got from Aliens CM, thanks for your support".

I've gotten burned way too many times by buying a game brand new only to find out all the hype was just that hype. As a general rule now I rent from GameFly and If I like the game then I buy It Used from them. If Microsoft decides to bar used games from being played on their next gen consoles then I can tell you for a fact they will loose at least two consumers, myself and my step son. If they do this we'll go to Sony in a heart beat. These systems are expensive as It is and are hard enough to justify on a tight household budget without adding more to the "game" by taking away the option of playing Used games.

The level cap increase might be coming too late. Me and my friends became bored pretty quickly with Borderlands 2. Maybe this will stir some interest.

@Tripwolf @StaticPenguin There is no proof. The only actual known fact is that Gearbox moved people over to Borderlands which seeing as it's their company it's their right to distribute personnel how they wish. Nothing has ever shown that the money Sega gave them didn't go towards Aliens. Just that Gearbox put more of their people on Borderlands.

I really liked Borderlands 1, and 2 is very fun in co-op however its missing the magic of 1. I think its because of these 4 things.

1.you can't carry much. I had 69 items in 1, and my bank held 50 in 1, Now I get 27 and I don't recall 15 in the bank now? I haven't played since that Hammerlock DLC.

2. Releasing DLC without any kind of level cap increase, item carry increase, no bank space, or anything other then yet another rare thing to collect to buy rare weapons that aren't very good anyway.

3. Creating powerful bosses that needed a Bee Shield to kill in the DLC's in less then 60 min, then nerfing said shield in a COOP no competitive game. You take time to nerf a shield but can't give me more space or a level increase? I don't want to spend 60 min fighting a boss for 6 crystals when the items cost 50 or several hundred and then maybe he will drop a gun or item, but only maybe.

4. Loot. The "rare" guns are tied to one creature that drops it instead of random like before, so you know where to go get the one you want.

This game after you beat the story became killing one boss, over and over, to get his rare weapon. It becomes lets go kill "Bob" 50 times to "Bob's Big Boy Rocket." I liked not knowing what any creature could drop at any time, it made wandering around more fun to find hidden loot chests (why so few in main game this time?), and I find it boring to load one area 50 times to get the gun you want, it's a snooze fest for me. I want to explore and take out anything in the way and have a chance from any powerful thing to drop a random rare weapon. Nothing wrong with Bosses having a higher chance to drop, but make what they drop random like before.

That all said I bought the season pass and this level cap had better be included for free with it or Gearbox and Randy can go rot in a landfill with the trash games they touch since 2009 other than Borderlands like Duke Nukem and Aliens. If you mess this up Randy its strike three and you'll be out. If you charge me for a level cap after I bought the season pass and stood by your only good product since 2009 you'll never see my money again. I don't mind paying for a new character, but have a big problem with paying for a level cap when I purchased 4 expansions blindly and 2 of the 3 released are not very good, too much to ask of your loyal customers.

I have to see the price and if the level cap is a update or DLC. I was planning to trade it in, but I'll wait and see.

Aaaaand I had forgotten all about Borderlands 2 already.

Borderlands 2 is alright, borderlands 1 was shite thou, having played and passed borderlands2 with its dlc, i can happily say the 50$ was worth it...

And before you go bashing gearbox, perhaps you should read what sega had in store for the game, what its vision was of Aliens... anybody remember...?... a CoD clone...

perhaps its just as well that gearbox didnt make the game right, cuz i cant see it being any better if its just another cod clone.

100% made with a budget that was meant to be spent on another game.

Borderlands two is the Worst game i played IMO, Visuals make me sick, makes me vomit, compared to other games, there are so little guns, It's more like 20 guns re-skin and re-stats nonstop.

I Don't think the game is bad... It's the visuals makes me uncomfortably sick

I'm Probably the only one on earth hating this game...

Found this intersting article online http://www.google.co.za/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=did%20the%20same%20team%20who%20made%20borderlands%202%20make%20aliens%20colonial%20marines&source=web&cd=4&cad=rja&ved=0CEAQFjAD&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.eurogamer.net%2Farticles%2F2013-02-25-several-staffers-on-aliens-colonial-marines-spill-the-beans-on-what-went-wrong-report&ei=NsFCUbGTGLOv7AaTjoCADA&usg=AFQjCNEbLDbudCQfOfc0Np6W-VqRGsSkgQ I'm not saying what Gearbox did was right. It's very sad and unforgivable that Alien fans forked out hard earned cash on a game that was rushed and not a true reflection of ts demo. But I love Borderlands 2 and I"m glad they put all their effort into it, making it the quality game that it is. Just a pitty that Aliens had to suffer for it.

Listen to all these nerds pretend to know how a game company spends its money. You didn't like Colonial Marines, boo-hoo, this is a thread about the mighty Borderlands 2. Go somewhere else?

like all the comments on Aliens games when any game involving Aliens is going to go down hill fast.

@Tripwolf Because you know there was so much proof of that.

Love Borderlands 2! Can't wait for more cool content!

I'll be playing this game for a long time!

I just don't get it! I have never played the first game, I break down and buy the second game because everyone loved the first game, and its retarded! I'm sorry, but I try to rely on what I see in reviews and comments but the game played like a quarter machine at an arcade. It was stupid that they put in the hit points that popped up next to someone you were shooting. The cartoony look to the game got old really fast and, crap!, I really wanted to like this game and I played as much as I could but, Really people? What is this world coming to? I can't trust anything anymore.

Looking forward to the level cap being raised.

......... and hopefully add the turquoise gear.
