Ah yes I remember now, wasn’t sure of the date though.
Bee nerf outrage was the best though, I think in some parts it’s still going on.

Let me also add that Bioshock Infinite is a good example of a developer adding replay value with the simple addition of a DLC. There was alot of unhappiness in the Bioshock forums over the lack of a replay system where you could restart the game with your levelled up gear. 2K had always intended to make the game linear so I never had a problem with not having this feature but it would have been nice. However, the introduced a very very good arena system in Clash in the Clouds that let you customise and upgrade your gear and try it out on various maps against mobs and sub-bosses. I never really thought of that game having a particularly good combat system compared to something like BL2 or even the original Bioshock but I came to really appreciate the mechanics on their own without the story. I think the Charge tonic combined with shock and a shotgun has some of the best melee mechanics I have seen. Only zer0 has a better melee system and feel to it. Plus the verticality of the sky rails is something you dont really appreciate in the story mode since you just want to get to the next part but once you get a feel for it, its amazing jumping around the rails like spiderman while shooting and jumping on enemies.
Since this was 2k, I had some hopes that they would implement a similar arena system in TPS where you could go right into boss fights. I think the mutator arena certainly helps but holodome really should have been a Clash in the Clouds type arena that gave direct access non spawning bosses in different flavoured maps and mobs.

A place like that could get around a number of respawn issues. I’m try to get a flayer to drop, and ocassionaly go after self loathing and friend, but that walk time… sigh. Much better if they respawn conveniently in an arena. Farming multiple boss types is easier.
I totally play Bioshock infinite like a melee zero. It’s hilarious. I equipped stuff that regens my health and shields when I hit things. I always took “magic” upgrades. I bought the charge skill so I could rush into things from a distance like zero. And I think I also had something that makes dudes drop magic refills. Talk about “infinite”… I need to go finish that game. I’m very near the end. But I have to wait until I get my 360 back after I move.
BL2 was very easy in Normal mode, moderately hard in TVHM, quite difficult in UVHM, and hair pulling impossible at OP levels (barring extreme skill or near perfect equipment). TPS has a more stable skill curve-fairly easy at all difficulty levels. Enemies regenerating health, combined with the natural OP overleveled damage penalty, is what made BL2 so hard at UVHM and OP levels.

UVHM is free, via a patch. The extra levels are paid DLC. This is how it is done in both BL2 and TPS.
I never liked the regenerating health, a crappy little varkid could outheal my elementally focused Maya’s fire damage while slagged in phaselock and that just blew my mind. When they increased the regen rate I pretty much stopped caring about bl2 as much as I used to. I still got all six characters to OP5 though. 
weeeeeeeeeeeee
You do realise that RedBelly is a reference to a snake and not DJs? It’s called a Red Bellied Black snake.

Always hated the regenerating health. That was a mistake. It’s the only thing that tps does better than BL2.
A cheap shot maybe, but most seem to think Pickle is Australian, and moan about the Australian accents in the game! It winds me up no end. How could you not smile every time you use the Boganella?! Its making me chuckle just thinking about it. Ha ha

My Athena is equipped with a Boganella, Cutie Killer and MORQ shield. I don’t really get or care for the Australian humor in the game but I do love their talking weapons.

BL TPS was made by funny, clever and talented people. Attributes that your posts are completely devoid of.

When I first heard “Make me killier!” I literally laughed out loud. I really want to do a full team co-op run where everyone has a MORQ, Boganellas and Cutie Killers equipped. Man it would be GLORIOUS!!! 
Yes, yes it is good for me.
You came late to the party.
Nope.
I like the way you edited the rest of my post, taking it out of context, but thanks for your truly insightful opinion.
