I'm on a new budget now, so sales have lost their power over me. I saw a clearance sale sign above Gamestop the other day. Thought about going in, but calmed my mind and passed it by. "Use the force Luke. Avoid the sales.", I heard in my head.
There'a a popping sound it makes. Mark just makes that sound now and I know exactly what he's referencing, Jet-Vac.
I can get burned out on multiplayer FPS really fast. I find that kind of running in circles shooting at each other really boring. I like to explore a world while I shoot at things.
Borderlands: 54 this year. Played it in 2011 though, but didn't write down play time. I'm guessing another 50 hours at least.
Borderlands 2: 119 hrs.
Borderlands Pre-Sequel: 168 hrs.
Tales from the Borderlands: 15
I'm ok with it for the moment. If I do well at work, I can save up. Gives me something to work for, I guess. Still, I have plenty to play. No worries there. I'm actually looking forward to finishing some things and trading them for new games. It keeps my collection under control.
I had an issue with Microsoft. I got Massive Chalice when it was a Games with Gold freebie but now it doesn't recognize that I own it. I think I used my account on PC to get it when XBO first came out and I didn't have one. Then when I got XBO, there it was, but a few months ago I looked and it was gone. Maybe because I used the PC to get it? Thing is, I did that with Halo Spartan Assault and I still have that. I don't get it. Anyway, I'll buy it sometime because it's a Double Fine game and I love their stuff.
There is SO much content in even just B2 and Pre-Sequel. The world is giant and there are so many quests. There's always a reason to replay too because of the new gear you keep finding. The story and characters are so funny too. I never get tired of hearing their dialog.
I played The Order 1866. It's so gorgeous and the voice acting is great, but I got stuck in a battle I couldn't win. Maybe it was me though. The game is pretty straightforward, no open world stuff for the most part. It's basically a corridor shooter with astonishing production values.
Borderalands does crazy really well. I can think of a bunch of crazy characters from the other games that are so funny.
We had some slight connection issues. It really just amounted to an occasional lag where Mark's character would stutter instead of move smoothly.
I think, I might try and streamline the play of Borderlands 2 when I get to it, but I know it will still be a large time sink.
