Played through the first one and kind of liked it, but not enough to pay full money for it right now.

It's pretty fun, seems way way easier than the first though, I think they changed up the level scaling because I can pretty much solo most things in multiplayer whilst the other 3 are off doing stuff, I don't know if gunzerker is just overpowered or what but it feels like there is little to no challenge involved, don't get me wrong the game is still fun as fuck and the humour is still incredible save for bullet to the knee and dupstep claptraps, but I feel like I am just waltzing through the game with little to no effort at all. I also noticed that the new gun mechanics make this borderline overpowered, the "fire as fast as you want" perk for example is just ridiculous I mean emptying 6 revolver/pistol shots as fast as you can click your mouse is just insane esp at close range, and sniper rifles though rarer have perfect accuracy and little to no sway which was the only thing stopping snipers for being the nuts in this
game, like in single player I can just sit there and headshot everything from any range because I have good aim and there is nothing making it hard for me. Still a fun game over all and I recommend getting it if you have some friends to play with, I'd play with some of you guys but none of you are from aus so pings+time zones would make it impossible.

I'm pinkfloyd teefo. Do you have xbox?

I agree with the difficulty but I'm also playing gunzerker and he is both the biggest DPS character and the tank so he is meant to be fucking everything up while your team mates support. And lets face it, the game is about guns and being able to use 2 at once for a very long time (If you invest in the middle tree) while regenerating health and taking less damage is incredible. Axton is cool and just like the soldier from the last game he has the most different play style options and would be the best character to make an all Axton 4 player team. He can be aggressive but Slavador is a baller.

Maya is cool and crowd control is fun but because guns are so more powerful this time around elemental weapons feel irrelevant. Its still powerful though. Zero I don't like because sniping and sneaking isn't my playstyle. Plus every prick and his dog uses Zero online

Nah I play fps's on PC exclusively because I am more comfortable with a keyboard and mouse.

And yeah gunzerker seems a little easy mode but I didn't really have a choice since I just said I didn't mind what I played and let my friends pick whatever, I have to admit dual shotguns will regenerating health and ammo is the absolute nuts. I can just imagine 4 turrets going to town on everything, soldier always seemed like a boring class to me simply because I think the turret is overpowered as hell and just boring because it requires not skill to use properly, just no aim no brain sort of stuff. As far as I can tell with elemental weapons they super nerfed fire and blast but buffed electric and caustic, I am only level 20 right now and I don't know if you get better choices later but early game that is for sure what is going on, electric and caustic things are so much rarer.

I don't play with randoms online, pretty much all
of my friends own the game so it's not hard to find people to play with.

That's fair, I've never had the money or the need to PC game. Like my consoles too much.

Soldier is boring but you can always pick the kind of person that plays it.

I try to play with friends but this part of our lives seems to busy for casual gaming time.

The thing about consoles is rts is non-existant which means I wouldn't be able to starcraft/dota2/other rts games which I enjoy along with the mouse and key board being a better fps control anyway, also tf2 is not updated on consoles so yeah consoles are almost irrelevant for me outside of fighters/racing and even then I can just plug a controller in to my computer *shrug*

Most of my friends have jobs/uni and still manage to game with me but we also don't sleep much and
run on caffeine and alcohol so.

Basically, if a game has any DLC or mods worth looking into, PC is superior. But if the game is a one-off that won't be played more than once, I get it on console.

Zero is pretty boss. Hitting 1500 on crit'd special attack.

I use him and Maya and my buddy uses Gunner and turrets everywhere Guy.
No online though:(
