I can't agree with any of these specs. Mania is a must for Krieg as it makes him almost UNkillable. So with Mania maxed out, you spend the rest of the point on one or the other lines. Fire for more damage, explosive for survivability and utility.

I'm split between mania and Hellborn + Firehawk (low shielding which is good for Krieg, but it also blasts 90k damage for as long as shields are down...which is awesome)shield. The helborn line keeps you alive (via elemental empathy)while in Release the Beast. So not only do you instantly heal in RtB, you also heal with every melee or firehawk shield blast, as well as all the elemental damage you're doing to unshielded enemies.

This build is great for most of the dlc but garbage for all armored enemies and loaders. Krieg is almost worthless against loaders.

I Sure Hope The Next Borderlands Is A Lot Like Borderlands 2

Ahmad from eXputer: "Borderlands 2's unrivaled storytelling is something that has to lean into the core elements of the next iteration in the Borderlands series."

What? You didn't love the cringe writing that 3 had?

pwnmaster3000262d ago

Playing it now and it’s not so bad, but I’ve just started so maybe it will get worse

DustMan261d ago

It's not bad. It's just hard to top Handsome Jack as an antagonist. I really enjoyed 3. It has the best gameplay of the entire series, and it holds the same vibe. Tiny Tina's Wonderland was a huge disappointment to me.

I recently finished 3, definitely had fun fr

I'm curious how they are going to do the Siren since they've kind of wrote themselves into a corner regarding the lore.

gold_drake262d ago

well, im sure the last eridium slab is the answer to that. either mystery or villain

-Foxtrot262d ago

I meant more in terms of how they established only 6 Sirens can exist in the entire Universe...which was kind of silly to me as they seem to all end up on Pandora, and the Universe is a pretty big place.

Then there's now the fact, since Borderlands 3 retconed it, when a Siren dies she can transfer her power to the next Siren, they don't have to be born with it. This also means there's only 6 Siren powers which will end up being recycled as the franchise goes on.

Phasewalk (Lilith)
Phaselock (Maya / Ava)
Phasetrance (Amara)
Phaseshift (Angel / Tannis)
Phaseleech (Tyreen)

So there's only one power unaccounted for and I'm guessing it belonged to Commandant Steele. There was Queen Dido but she died and someone else like Amara, Maya or Angel could have gotten their powers so really it only gives them one more Siren before they need to start rethinking things going forward.

Either we get Phaseleech next or whatever power Commandant Steele had (kind of odd she never used it in her boss fight but you know).

inb4 the next siren is a trans character.

gold_drake262d ago

it will probably be alot like wonderlands, since that is the last borderlands game

but we'll see soon

Terry_B261d ago

Most people do. But the people that create the games don't seem to understand that.

I bet it will be even worse than BL3 when it comes to story and character designs.

RaidenBlack261d ago

Hey Gearbox, remember Brothers in Arms?

Abnor_Mal261d ago

I would love a new game in the series, or a remake/remaster of the first three games.

RaidenBlack261d ago

I'd want them to do the 4th part and just end the story of Baker Company.

I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.

dumahim839d ago

No one liked the Batmobile in Arkham Knight. Top 10?

toxic-inferno839d ago

I don't know... It was a strange addition to the game, and the parts of the game where you had to fight in it were tedious. But driving it around Gotham felt brilliant.
