so we've had a day...what class did you pick? why? do you like your choice?

So since borderlands 2 has been out for a day I'm sure I'm not the only one who has picked it up, played a few hours and is enjoying it. I'm wondering what class everybody chose for their first playthrough, why, and how they are liking it.

Class Chosen: Zero the assassin

Why?: I plan on doing a playthrough with my girlfriend when the mecromancer class is released (she will need it, since she RARELY plays videogames, and has never played a shooter...so the "girlfriend" tree will be a huge help to her). Because of her lack of skill I want to play as maya to help keep her alive, and maya is definatly the best healer/support character

How do I like it: I really enjoy the Zero playthrough. I'm going for the melee heavy skill tree and have been using a majority of melee and shotgun for damange and it actally works out very well. I neer though shotguns would be something I would use with Zero, but it's great to go into stealth melee a bandit, then unstealth and shotgun the hell out of near by enemies before repeating the process.

I'm playing Zero also. He's just too cool looking not to pick first, but I will go back and play all the classes at some point.

I like the game so far, the menus take a little getting used to. I never saw anything wrong with the menus from the first game.

Also not sure why they changed the button configuration for getting in and out of cars. Seems stupid to me.

All in all a great game, with a couple of minor gripes.

Looking forward to doing some co-op once I get a feel for the game.

I actually kind of started 2 characters at once: One on split-screen on my roommate's box so he could try the game, and one on my own box that I plan on using.

Split-Screen: Zero

Why?: I knew I wanted to play as either Maya or Zero on my box, and I decided to go with Maya. So, on my friend's I tried out Zero.

Thoughts: Meh. I don't really love or hate him. I didn't really like using his action skill, and for that reason I wasn't enjoying it very much. He was good and all, but just not my style.

My Box: Maya

Why?: See above

Thoughts: SO much fun! I love phaselocking the big enemies while taking out the little guys, or just lighting them up while they're trapped. I really like playing as Maya, using her skill, and finding the new heads and skins for her character. I really really really like Maya (and she might be a little overpowered, but I haven't decided on that yet).

Class: Gunzerker

Why: I like being able to draw two weapons and go nuts. There are all sorts of different combinations you could utilize. Blast em away from near and far, be a up close juggernaut with two shotguns, combine two different elemental effects.... the choice is yours.

How do I like it: Pretty cool so far. Another thing that's neat about gunzerking is that while doing it, whatever weapon you had as the primary is your first weapon, but you can switch your secondary gun on the fly as you normally would switch weapons. So if your secondary isn't getting it done or you need a different weapon for the situation, you can instantly switch to any other weapon you have equipped, making you even more versitaile. I will be specing in the rampage tree. I look forward to being able to increase the length I can gunzerk with kills, as well as being able to throw 2 grenades at once while doing so.

I do plan on playing with all four different characters, but sticking with the gunzerker for now.

Im still debating on even getting the game before a price drop or not. Looks awesome, but Im not a huge fan of the first game.Cyanide4Suicid3

[QUOTE="Cyanide4Suicid3"][QUOTE="topher78714"] I recommend it. I didn't LOVE the first game, but I liked it alot. I can say that for the second the fixed all the problems with the first and improved on everything else in every aspect. topher78714

Class: Siren (Maya)

Why: Because it was a blast in the first game, and I like elemental damage. Going to turn Maya into a regenerative machine just like Lilith before.

Experience so far: FUN. Phaselocking is a blast and it's cool that you can do so much with it. Not as OP as Phasewalk, but man if is'nt fun to empty a clip on locked enemy. Using SMG's/Pistols/Snipers again.
