Quoting: ageres

Quoting: EhvisSolution is to switch to True Vault Hunter Mode so the DLC are back at your character level.

Or to start a new game as a different character.

IIRC, the DLCs are all set at level 30 in normal mode. So that's not really an option either.

Quoting: Kelsso maybe just getting the base game rather than GOTY is a better idea? It'd certainly be cheaper, and I'm unlikely to play much co-op.

Personally I would get the GOTY anyway. The two extra playable characters in there are actually very good (I used one of them my entire 160 hours of game time) and easily worth the difference.

With some determination and a little bit of cheesing (would I do that? :whistle: ) you can finish the DLC as well. I only got into real trouble in the Hammerlock DLC where you can actually have trouble with a couple of the regular enemies. Need to pick it up again to do the Tiny Tina DLC, which is supposed to be fantastic.

Quoting: KelsUgh, I'm not sure I can resist the temptation to finally get Borderlands 2, especially when the GOTY edition is less than CDN$10 and I've got a buck or two that I made selling cards sitting on my account. Probably mostly play it single-player, but looking around I gather it's not too bad in that mode when you've got all that DLC to run around in.

The base game is great for solo play. Also a lot of gameplay. It took me almost 90 hours to finish all the quests (including the creature arena from the DLC).

The DLC are a different story. When you finish the base game, you're going in over levelled for the DLC and they're no fun at all. Solution is to switch to True Vault Hunter Mode so the DLC are back at your character level, but that makes them quite tough. Some of the bosses can't even be taken down with a full load of ammo. Look like they were clearly balanced for co-op so that the fight just continues after one of the players dies.

Quoting: TheRiddickThe bug fix done to Mod Organizer 2.1.2+ usvfs system isn't a 100% fix, all it does is allow it to load but not mount anything sadly. Maybe next time.

Let me guess, Mod Organiser is a .NET application?

So far I've only used this sale to gift a couple of things. I've come to a stage where I actually have to take time to look through all of the stuff to see if there's stuff I still want to buy. Probably a good thing since I already have a lot of stuff I still want to play, but haven't had time for.

Also note that actually getting the Steam Link delivered will cost you more than the Steam Link itself.

Quoting: GuestMan, imagine if Serious Sam 4 had day one GOG support.. That'd be tight

They'd have to mess with it a bit I think. Currently Fusion is about DLCs which are obtained through the ownership of other games. Technically not a big issues, but probably quite confusing on GoG. Then again, Fusion itself could reasonably be called ConFusion.

Quoting: no_information_here

Quoting: SeegrasHere's some more you may not know exist:

Yes it would be nice to have contemporary ports; but at least they exist.

Thanks for pointing that out. I didn't know. Nice to see Icculus was already one of the main people involved back then. I am guessing that it shouldn't be hard to do an update and build Linux support into the Steam or GOG versions?

I'm not so sure the sources are still available. I own a whole bunch of LGP games on DVD. Only a couple made it to Steam. X3 Reunion and Jets'n'Guns were actually re-ported by the developer. Egosoft even accepted my LGP code to activate X3 on Steam, which was pretty incredibly. Other than that, I've only seen some "wine ports" like Gorky 17 and Knights and Merchants. In other words, there are no original LGP ports available at all.

Not really my sort of game. But it's popular and it will help bring the next game to Linux, so it's definitely a good thing!

Quoting: Purple Library GuyWait, what? How does that work?! I did a quick google--Android is currently at like six times iOS market share. So like, do iphone users pay six times as much for games, or play six times as many games per capita?

There are no cheap iphones, so I suppose iphone users are already used to spending excessive amounts of money. Not so surprising that they do this for other things too. I suspect that the number op people that actually use expensive android smartphones might actually be a lot smaller than 1/6th of the total.

Quoting: stretch611KLei does have a permanent 20% discount for anyone that has ever bought one of their titles before. This is why people are seeing 40% off while logged into steam.

That explains a lot. My first purchase on Steam on the day I registered was a Klei game.
