Just finished the BL3 story last night. I'll probably play the arena-type missions for a while till I hit 50, then work on getting a full build and maxing out my SDUs. Question for those that have finished - if you start TVHM, do you lose your SDU upgrades? My guess would be no but just making sure.

SDUs carry over.

TVHM just resets the missions and increases the difficulty a little/game always scales to your level.
TVHM is the only way to get mission rewards at lvl 50.

Cool - does it also reset the crew collectibles such as the typhon logs, claptrap parts, and vehicle parts?

I don't think so. I've read to wait to collect all of the things per map at max lvl/TVHM so the locked loot chests unlock at max level.

Well I fucked that up then. Kinda wish that would reset, you need those guns when trying to level but then no way to get them at max is kinda dumb.

You can farm bosses.....at least right now and get nearly every legendary in a couple hours.

I haven't found anything truly unique or special with the Crew Collectibles. I don't think you really have to wait with them

i though BL3, or any BL, was not in the works for Switch?

i mean. i WANT. but. thought no?

Nah, man. Imma play BL3 on PS4 in due time. Meanwhile, I fix to enjoy some Mario shit on Switch Lite.

How is the Switch Lite? The announcement came right after I was wishing for a decent handheld console so I've been eyeing it, but I'm afraid to pull the trigger

I've only used it for a few hours so far (w/ Diablo 3) but initial review is that it rules. I got it to replace the aging PS Vita and it definitely fills that void. Feels good, if a tiny bit flimsy. Would recommend a nice, hard case for it if traveling. I'm looking forward to finishing Diablo 3 and moving on to some Mario shit.

I guess that's the point. You wait until Mayhem 3 mode and it increases the loot drop quality by 300% (I think).
a chest of whites/greens would become purples/legendary in M3.

Ah well that makes sense. Whatever, I'm sure I'll still find tons of shit later. BL really doesn't bring out the completionist in me.

Doom and Wolfenstein 2 are hecksa fun if you want FPS action on the go.

also, fuck ME they finally made shotguns fun in BL. blasting someone into the air the. finishing them with a double tap is BEAUTIFUL.

going to hunt down the One Punch Gun next time i'm on-console

[jrfox92]

Little bit hyped about the upcoming Call of Duty, for once.
I'll probably wait until Christmas or later when it's on sale, though.

Also, supposedly Sable's gonna be releasing next year. So, combine that with CP2077 and Watch Dogs Legion and I think I'll probably be pretty well covered for 2020 hype.

[jrfox92]

Guess the story just got revealed, too.
COD meets Tom Clancy, looks like.

I would not worry about gear whatsoever; unless gearbox keep nerfing the drop rates.

i'm starting over. my Siren is level 30ish, and she's fun, but i realized i play her just like Maya, with the Arm Grabby Phaselock skillset.

trying out Moze. because always play female characters when possible.

This almost makes me wish I had an Xbox One.

I've been busy playing Links Awakening, to what I can assume is literally the surprise of no one here. Been avoiding the Zelda corners of the internet so I can see the windfish for the first time in all it's glory.

[MrNovember]

So BL3 spoilers I guess:

NSFW: show

I did not see the Penn (minus Teller so far) cameo coming. I he kept talking and I kept thinking "wow this guy really sounds like Penn; it would be so weird if they got him to voice act for this." Then his picture popped up. Weird

I know right? I feel like I've seen most of the game through uninvited screenshots/youtube title cards/whatever
