Borderlands 2 is almost here. Just five more days!

Anybody else play the heck out of Borderlands 1? I have no idea how many hours I played it, but it was a lot. For people that did, I have a couple of questions.

Which character did you play as?
Did you try any of the other characters?
Did you actually finish the entire game, both runs through?
Did you find any of the pearlescent weapons?

For me the answers are.......
I played mostly as Mordecai.
I also tried Brick and Lilith.
Finished both runs through with Mordecai.
Never, ever saw one pearlescent weapon. I played BL 1 with three other people and they never found one either.

Two more questions.

Did you or will you pre-order BL 2?
Have you decided on which character you will play?

I'm hoping that there are some other Borderland fanatics here. I can't wait to get back to Pandora!
 
Which character did you play as? the soldier, whatever his name was
Did you try any of the other characters? all of them up to level 10 IIRC. I just beat it two days ago with Brick. He sucks
Did you actually finish the entire game, both runs through? no because my 2nd playthough was glitched, and I couldn't get passed the "pick up a shield" mission
Did you find any of the pearlescent weapons? I found 3. Didn't know it was a rare occurrence. I found another in my Brick playthough as well

Did you or will you pre-order BL 2? preordered at Best Buy = $20 in reward points
Have you decided on which character you will play? either the soldier or the mechromancer

see bold for my replies
 
Played mainly as Roland the soldier, but had level 30s of the rest.
Beat Cramarax the invincible with him.... well with me hiding most of the time and my buddy running around like mad.
You can boost levels on a new guys to like level 16 - 18 in one run up the mountain to open the vault. Just leave them at the start and use your higher level to clear the mountain....
First run 16-18
second run 25
third run 30ish... if I remember correctly.... but at that point you can speed thru the boring stuff.

Got Borderlands 2 preordered, but have to wait for shipping =(
If the soldier type has ammo regen like the original, I'll probably play that class again (bullets are just toooo important)
 
There are "Pearl" weapons and then there are "Pearlescent" weapons.

Pearl is a manufacturer of weapons and they are OK weapons, but pearlescent weapons are a color like orange or purple or green. They are very rare and have quite a bit of kick. There is also a pearlescent shield.

And like I said before, I have yet to see one.

I've probably only put in ~10 -12 hours on part 1.

Which character did you play as? The chick you can turn invisible
Did you try any of the other characters? Nope
Did you actually finish the entire game, both runs through? Not yet
Did you find any of the pearlescent weapons? Not Yet

Did you or will you pre-order BL 2? Nope, since I haven't finished 1 yet, there's no need to order 2 at full price
Have you decided on which character you will play? Nope

No such manufacturer as Pearle, Pearl is a weapon prefix from some Atlas weapons.

Which character did you play as? Mordecai
Did you try any of the other characters? No
Did you actually finish the entire game, both runs through? Yes, including 1 Co-Op
Did you find any of the pearlescent weapons? Nemesis only as far as I can remember.

Did you or will you pre-order BL 2? No, I never buy games at full price, ever. I can wait.
Have you decided on which character you will play? No, but probably Zero
 
I really want to thank you for taking that "e" off for me. Now I don't have to commit hari kari at sunrise. :)
 
I played through BorderLands the full two runs. I leveld up every character, but played the soldier the most. I won't be getting BL2 at release because I was disappointed with the ending of the first game. I will eventually get the game and play it through though. I'll pick it up used somewhere.
 
I guess I should have asked everyone if they played through the four expansion packs too?

I really liked the Hyperion Gift shop.

I didn't buy Borderlands when it first came out. Picked up a copy last year and have been really enjoying it. I figured what with the end of the world coming soon, I might as well get the game early and get some play time in before armageddon. ;)
 
Always wanted to play the first one, but never got very far. I think I got to the first boss, then got distracted with something else and never got back to it.

Actually come to think of it, I haven't finished Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot and I'm not sure if I even started Claptrap's New Robot Revolution, I know I finished the other 2 for sure...been awhile.

Which character did you play as? lilith
Did you try any of the other characters? yes,all
Did you actually finish the entire game, both runs through? yes,with all chars
Did you find any of the pearlescent weapons? Omega Rose shield. Lots and lots of time spent killing Craw..... got all the pearlescent weapons too (Drop rate should have been better imo



Two more questions.

Did you or will you pre-order BL 2? Oh yes,day one and have the loot chest version
Have you decided on which character you will play? Zero or Salvador to start

Borderlands has to be the game I spent the most total time in (Skyrim a close second). Just plain love it,I even started playing again once I pre-ordered BL2.

It's been hard but I only watched on vid for the game,really want to keep it all a surprise until I sit down after work on the 18th :)

All DLC played as well...

Wife and I (Lilith/Mordecai) co-opped the first one obsessively. Only did one play-though, game and all DLC (didn't 100% underdome, but it was meh after awhile).

Pre-ordered the second (I rarely pre-order anything... last game I did was Portal 2) and can't wait till Tuesday! Will probably play the Commando since I didn't do the turret path last time.

Impressive, most impressive! I tried all the characters except Roland. My best friend played as Roland and he had his character maxed out. His turret would even fire rockets. Damn cool.

I really think the Lilith character had the best set up. Healing fast and being invisible at the same time, hard to beat.

Since I played Mordecai most of the time in BL1, I'm thinking I might go with Zero this time. Or maybe Maya. Both are cool looking and have nice skill trees.

I've never ever preordered a game, even with the Halo series, I just never did. But I did preorder Borderlands 2. I'm really hoping its as good as the original.

I have the game and the four expansions, but when I tried to get online to play a couple months back I couldn't find anyone online. If anyone wants to team up online and get through the four expansions, hit me up (NERDtendo is also my PSN gamertag).

And that's coming from a guy that very rarely will play though a game twice...forgot to mention I deleted my saves by mistake and started over AGAIN.. :)

The girl loved Roland,which is a great support class. So I went all out on a phasewalker. Not trying to brag (Well this is the internet...) but I could/can solo craw with her. God, I want to play it now :)

I am very picky about my pre orders and very rarely get "Collector" editions (Fallout3,NV and for some reason DNF...) as soon as I heard loot chest I was sold!

I have good feelings for 2, I think it will rock!

Its times like these that I wish I had XBL. :)

My nephew was over Sat. night and we played Borderlands. We just ran around finishing up all our weapons to 50. I was shooting down some Raks and one popped out something, so I went to see what it was. I was picking up some money near it when it went right into my inventory. I'm thinking "Oh great, another crap weapon I don't want." So I look though my weapons and Wow! Its a "Pele demands a sacrifice" sniper that does 1099 damage at 4X fire. It has this really nice scope on it that has a green dot for aiming. I thinking where the hell has this been for the last year?

Just remember.......Borderlands 2 is Tuesday!!!

Oh, and my extra 360 went belly up Sat. Red ring of death again. (its an old one I fixed a year or so ago.) Most likely its toast now. :(
 
I went to play some more Borderlands yesterday and it turns out that my save data from before my system's blu ray drive died didn't load onto my online storage and I didn't have it backed up on my external hard drive. All two playthoughs and 2 expansion plays lost. No biggie. I started playing from the start again. A friend of mine said he would get Borderlands 2 on Tuesday so I decided to jump on the bandwagon and I will get it too.

Borderlands is fun as a single player game, but really shines as a multiplayer co-op.
 
Since I never finished Borderlands before and hadn't made it very far, I started a new game this weekend (on Steam). Needless to say, my entire weekend was sucked away :) Well, I guess about 10+ hours of it anyway. I think I'm about half way or a little shy of halfway through so far. I'd really like to try co-op at some point, but don't know many with it on Steam.

Regardless, I don't think I'll be preordering 2 - I need to figure out if anyone I know is getting it and if so, which platform. I too will probably wait for a price drop later on.
 
Preordering 9 hours before it comes out? Not sure what good that would do lol.

FYI, most people are around level 35-36 by the time they finish the first game. At the start of the final assault, you are typically around 33. Mad EXP in that area
