Oh and the Driving controls, i found them a bit challenging and time needing ones as i can't get used to em :spank:.

I drove for like about 25-30 mins in all and till now haven't been able to steer it properly, although on long stretch of straight roads i find them gr8.

 

Glad you're liking it :good: It's a damn shame the game came out in the midst of so many high-profile releases. And also the fact that it's a new IP didn't help. People these days would rather buy a recycled sequel of a familiar franchise than give new titles a chance.

 

As for the vehicles, I had a problem with the steering initially as well. But what you need to do is accelerate/brake using the right-stick and turn using the left-stick (like you'd do in a racing game) while the right-stick is still titled forward/backward. It's not difficult at all once you get the hang of it. In fact vehicle handling is a lot better than what I though initially. Also, you can mark targets by pressing the A (X on the PS3) from inside vehicles.

 

Anyone up for a co-op session on the PC version? I need help in getting past the 'Sledge: To The Safe House' mission. I'm on level 12 right now using the Soldier (wish I had taken the Berserker) and there are hordes of Skags attacking from all sides.

 

Grind some more and go a couple of levels up the skags giving you a problem. You'll have no trouble taking them on solo. It's amazing how only a couple of levels make you a lot more effective.

I am on level 13 now and without co-op it's getting insanely difficult. I co-op'd with one of my friend and thankfully were able to reach Roid Raged Psycho boss and that's where we died. I'm nearly out of dough. So it's high time I complete it somehow. Wonder how people are doing it in solo. This is the reason I hate RPG+FPS combination. :good:

Just play it slowly man. The game is not meant to be rushed through. Kill easier enemies to level up and find better gear. Try to do all side quests in an area before moving on to the next. Quests give a lot of XP. I soloed most of the game and apart from a very few encounters, the rest was fairly ok. I do agree that it gets challenging sometimes, but never frustrating. And on top of that I played as Mordecai who is considered by many as the weakest class. I didn't think so though. He was unstoppable after lvl 25.

 

Also money is very easy to come by in the game. I guess you lost most of it due to deaths. Just pick up everything and sell it at the vendors. Don't ignore loot that you aren't interested in.

I love the Siren class.

Really powerful late game, due to the reduced cooldown and increased duration, Im phasewalking most of the time and regaining HP very fast whenever it goes! :O

After I finish the game once, playing as a soldier with my friend from start..

Point taken. Thanks for the pointers. Quick question, how do I get mini/side quests? Does Zed give us more missions?

 

Also how do my skill points increase? I just see them coming up randomly on screen.

After Zed, side quests are available from the Bounty Board (just outside of Zed's clinic) where the claptrap hangs out. It's marked by an exclamation on the map. TK also gives you some side quests. Claptrap will often buzz you when there are new side quests available. A lot more side quests will unlock when you go to the next area.

 

As for skill points. You get one skill point every time you level up. Keep an eye on the XP bar (the large bar at the bottom of the hud near the compass). It shows you how much XP you need to reach the next level. You earn XP by killing enemies and completing quests. The harder the enemy and quest, the more the XP.

 

 

@Doobz... concentrate on the sniper tree and max out accuracy and damage as much as possible. Then upgrade Bloodwing's damage and equip it with an elemental artifact. Carrion Call is a must-have skill (in the sniper tree). And the final skill which allows you to penetrate shields with your sniper bullets is just overkill once you put a few points in it. One shot kills guaranteed... even for high level enemies. Just keep focusing more on the sniper tree and part of the rogue tree. It's a bit challenging in the beginning but you'll become unstoppable later. I completely ignored the gunslinger tree and kept maxing out my SMG skill instead. So Sniper + Bloodwing + SMG = My Mordecai.

 

@Superfrag... now this game can be classified as an RPG... to a certain extent. :clapping:

Perfect! Just what I was looking for, thank you Tyler. :devil:
