I've seen some pretty horrible enemies disguised as treasure chests in my life, but this, this is just. . . SICK.

Fuckin' Ion Shell.

DO YOU SEE THIS GUY!?

FUCK THIS GUY

Not only as a person is he a douchecanoe of the highest caliber, but he is such a fucking bitch to fight on the higher levels of difficulty that I can't even hear the words "Brilliant Cataclysm" without wanting to douse my xbox in gasoline, set it aflame, and then tear my eyeballs out in a mindless soul-rending RAGE.

Oh, you need to do perform an arcane arte to trigger your Mystic Arte? NOT THIS ASSHOLE. Do you at least need to be moving?! NOPE. FUCK YOU. ALEXEI DINOIA WILL TRIGGER HIS MOTHERFUCKING MYSTIC ARTE WHILE STANDING COMPLETELY STILL AND WILL THEN PROCEED TO BUTTFUCK NOT JUST YOU BUT YOUR GOD DAMN HEALER WHO'S STUPID FUCKING AI PUT HER RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF IT.

FUCK THIS GUY.

You guys are overcomplicating this shit.

Ion Shell's annoying, but I have to give the prize to Kunkka. Fucking Tidebringer harass. Almost literally nothing you can do about it.

>>173669
It's been a while, so I had to go re-watch that boss fight to remember why exactly he was rage-inducing.

bluh

MotherFUCKER!

>Oh hey, you want that true ending? I hope you have nothing planned for the next 2-3 hours.

Borderlands 2: This game has a load of not-fun enemies, but I think crystalisks take the cake, right above the midgets that pop out of containers. I swear to god, they're always like 2 levels above the area level they're placed in and they always rise up in groups so you can't dodge their mortars or stamping. They're not fun at all, they're just broken as fuck.

Zeno Clash 2: the desert people. Fuck me in my hairy poop cannon, they'll. NEVER. STOP. MOBBING. YOU. I understand the game's a brawler, but one will haymaker you as the other draws your attention. Then a third arrives and starts making Bill Cosby noises and a fourth arrives to smack your ass painfully.

Yoshi's Island: the frogs. You think you're safe crossing the bridge RIBBIT RIBBIT RIBBIT MOTHERFUCKER HERE COMES THE PAIN, CROOOAAAK. They grab Mario and hop away, herping the derps at the speed of potato.

PS2-era platformer cameras.

Sly Cooper, Kingdom Hearts, and Psychonauts, I'm looking at you.

That's because you have no sense of timing. Maybe it's just because I liked the ending song and I was fucking 14 before the internet just GAVE you entire soundtracks without a shit load of searching but it wasn't that hard or time consuming.

>>175391
BL2's Ultimate Vault hunter mode is the very definition of not fun. Crystalists are annoying as fuck but if you just melee their crystals once it breaks and breaking all three kills them. UVH is everyone has millions of HP and unless you have legendary weapons at every level you are going to be dying a lot. You think Doc Mercy is bad. Try him when he can 3 shot you and can destroy your turrets in 20 shots. If you have legendaries and/or 400 anarchy then you'll be in business otherwise... Man, that mode needs a decrease in enemy damage and HP.

>>175427
Or maybe it's just because you were lucky. Time Devourer will get two attacks in before you assemble the final attack. Which means it's going to be totally random and luck-dependant wether you can pull it off or not. Sometimes you can beat him in 1 minute. Sometimes it takes 3 hours. And with my luck it always takes 3 hours.

>>175428
Gearbox seems to fuck up a good thing without even trying. There's a difference between a challenge and plain shit. Case in point: rabid creatures. They dart about and smack into you and it seems like Deathtrap ACTIVELY ignores them in favor of rakks on the horizon.

I have yet to reach UVH mode, as I'm still on TVH mode. Thank god I found that bonus package grenade.

On the subject of Borderlands, I've had this happen:

I don't have much of an income, so I can't often buy games. Recently, I've had a couple of people spamming the link to buy Borderlands or BL2 on Steam to me, or asking me why I'm not playing it.

"I don't have the money."
"It's only $35."
"I don't have $35."

And they refuse to talk to me because I can't talk to them about Borderlands.

This is more than a video game problem, though. I've met several people over the years who had very, very specific tastes, and if you didn't want to talk to them about that one thing they were into at the moment, you weren't worth their time.

Dude I've done it like two dozen times when I owned the game I. Disk. Have items that boost level wait until he starts the combo and then use weak level 1-3 spells. You haw to attack so other they end in negative stamina and others can recover but I don't remember how I used to do to be honest but it was always after one or two of his attacks and it took ten minutes tops.

>>175428
Actually, UVHM is fine as long as you have a good build and a slag weapon(or consistent way of slagging, like Ruin for Maya, or Double Up for Axton). Easier than TVHM at some points, I'd say.

On topic to both Borderlands and the OP, FUCK these things, Jesus Christ.

I have Krieg at level 35 and I intend to sink most of my points into mania so I can turn into a badass psycho. I have the dynamite on my buzzaxe, and I intend to put enough points into hellfire so I can belch fire sometimes.

If I get a nice slag weapon, should that build help me in UVHM?

>>175934
1.) I'd go all the way down Mania till you hit Release The Beast, then choose either Hellfire or Bloodlust to go down, trying to hit all 3 trees just makes you inefficient. I mean, you can try it, that's just my advice.
2.) The fire-burping skill is actually pretty bad, the one that gives you a chance of lighting enemies on fire when you melee them is much better.
3.) Carry slag grenades into UVHM, preferably Betties, and aside from those, you'll never have to actually use a weapon as Krieg. RtB makes you almost invincible, and with 5/5(or preferably 11/5) Silence The Voices, his damage output gets huge in Buzz Axe Rampage.

>>175964
Regarding skills, I'm doing exactly as you advise. I only have 11 points in bloodlust just so I could get the dynamite buzzaxe. I have to take another look at Hellfire though.

This isn't re: something IN games, but something relating TO games that pisses me off.

Parents actively ignoring their kids, and using movies and video games to replace human contact, or only letting their kids play video games because they think if they give their kids a physical toy, they'll break something.
