    There is not much on the second one. It's just Anthony Burch and the trailer from PAX mostly.
    Well, Anthony does talk about how the DLC will work and there is a good amount of gameplay footage. I'd imagine that there's nothing too spoilery in there (since it's to generate hype, not a review), but if you want to go in as in the dark as possible, I'd vote against watching it.

    Yeah, I don't think it will ruin anything, just, I want to experience the dialog and jokes fresh.

    Just after starting the campaign, I was faced with an invincible boss, getting instantly downed, only to be spontaneously revived after Lilith insisted the boss be nerfed
    Does this remind you of anything?

    Is that some sort of joke or a real criticism of the way PT2+ is massively unenjoyable for non-masochists? Because it's too true to tell.

    This DLC looks very fun. I love the idea of Tiny Tina as dungeon master.

    Can't wait.

    I'm hyped up about the DLC pack. Now the question is do I level up my Krieg or a new Sal to 61? I really want to solo the rest of the game's content but the shiny new factor on Krieg hasn't worn off for me yet.

    I'm not finished with BL2 yet, but thanks for the massive spoiler Kotaku. Sorry I haven't mastered the art of coming full stop instantly while reading when the spoiler warning is a single word and the next word is the spoiler.

    welp i just blew 48 keys

    i couldn't stop myself

    ...i got shit

    was hoping for plasma casters; got two, a decent tediore corrosive and a meh dahl electric

    got 4000 e-tech sniper rifles because eat a dick golden treasure chest

    a really good torgue rifle, though

    level 55:

    19842 damage
    87.3 accuracy
    5.2 fire rate
    3.1 reload speed
    22 magazine size

    note: this is not a spinigun torgue rifle. that's the best non-spinigun torgue rifle fire rate i've ever seen.

    so basically my axton's going to be hooked up at level 55 whenever i get around to it, but my maya is still floundering

    the corrosive plasma caster is pretty nice though, and should help a lot now that i'm hitting a robot-y stretch

    It's also an incredibly common new DM pitfall in DnD. So technically speaking this joke is actually pretty good because it works on multiple levels.

    Yeah, it was an article titled "Four Things To Know About That Borderlands 2 Tiny Tina Campaign DLC" It seemed fairly safe an innocuous considering all the DLCs are just wacky side adventures, but mid article they litterally just barreled through probably the biggest main story spoiler with literally a single word of warning mid sentence. It wasn't "Spoiler alert" then new paragraph, or line break, just "Bla bla bla Spoilers: SPOILER! /Spoilers bla bla."

    Stupid person that wrote that article, you are a bad journalist.

    even after 30 it's still us a giant pain in the ass. I was 34ish staring it and was getting my ass handed to me most of the time. Finally just gave up.

    So its clear to everyone, this DLC deals directly with things that happen in the main game and how the characters cope with it. They reference these things often, so if you haven't finished the main game I would avoid information on this DLC.

    Is it me or does the early game just really blow after the second time? I am trying to get through as krieg and it just makes me not want to play the lower levels. I can barely stay alive because I am not walking into situations with enough grinded firepower that you have before endgame.

    When is this game supposed to take place? Before fighting Handsome Jack, or after? Because if it's after then I don't understand why Tina's not in the loop since she pretty much talks about the game's events during the game.

    Never underestimate the power of denial. Or maybe no one told her because of the spoiler itself.

    They told her. Lilith says they did at least. It's like you said, that first stage of coping can be hard to get through.

    Friend and I both picked up Kreig last night and are currently duo'ing our way through the story again.

    Double Kreig is actually pretty fun. He's going down the Mania tree and I'm doing the Hellborn tree right now.

    You'd be surprised how many times the correct play in boss fights is: Both of us pop Buzz Axe Rampage and run in circles around it.

    Did the quest line that rewards the Firehawk shield before quitting last night. Mine had the inflammable prefix. :D
    I hope this combos with the hellborn tree like I think it should.

    If you can answer 'yes' to any of the below, Kreig might be for you!

    *Have you ever watched a Psycho running towards you and wished you could live as he does?

    *Have you ever felt physical pain at how not on fire everyone around you is?

    *Do you ever feel an unstoppable rage and wish to throw yourself at your enemies until they are murdered by the white-hot fury of your vengeance?

    *Do you bemoan the lack of buzz saw blades that don't have a head to be buried in and wish to correct this awful injustice?

    Funny questions aside, I think he's pretty good. Though time will tell how he holds up into the 30's and upwards. As some people have said, he seems to start off feeling less powerful (because his early talents aren't splashy because they set the stage for talents further down the trees) until you hit the 20's. Mine is ~13-14 and I'm just starting to get to the fun talents.

    While I do appreciate the warning to others that is in a more clear and concise manner; saying they are by default a better writer than anyone on Kotaku is like saying that by breathing you are more alive than someone that is dead.

    not with the inflammable prefix it won't

    inflammable is great, usually, immunity to fire and hella nova damage

    ...for everyone except hellborn krieg, since he needs to be on fire
