I found out that joining multiplayer and doing a mission that you haven't completed yourself yet, causes "odd" things to happen, the person you're supposed to hand the single-player quest into disappears if that's what they're supposed to do, and when you're back in single-player mode, they stay disappeared. Also quite a few quirks with things not activating when they're supposed to until you run back and forth over the appropriate location a couple of times.

I really enjoyed the first game, BL2 doesn't seem to be doing it for me. Maybe it's the fact that I seem to be doing a disproportionate amount of running huge distances just to get from A to B because there's no fast travel or catch-a-rides in some of the areas, or the fact that I've yet to find any weapon, other than the Gearbox sniper rifle I started the game with, that is even remotely close to being useful as an all-rounder. (Either the magazines only hold enough for 3 shots, or they're hopelessly inaccurate etc).

As it's a Steam-linked game, I can't onsell it, so I'll keep plodding along and hopefully it gets more interesting. The fact that it was NZ$56 including postage from nzgameshop is an upside.

Maybe I should've chosen a character other then the Siren? Her freeze-lock power seems to be remarkably useless.

Having much more fun playing Rochard which is just a platform game.

I will say that BL2 certainly _looks_ a lot better, particularly at 1920x1080 with all the options turned to 11, even PhysX. I've yet to see any slowdown or frametearing which is good. The Claptrap & Handsome Jack dialog is pretty entertaining as well.
