Borderlands 2 - When does it get fun?

Aod said:
Morning all. I pre-ordered BL2 and played a little bit of it when it first came out, but work got very busy so I essentially abandoned the game until the last couple of days, when I've just tried to get back into it with little success.
Way back, playing Borderlands 1, I was pretty much hooked from the into movie, every new area bringing more interesting enemies to slay, and most importantly, interesting and upgraded loot to rifle through.

I'm now level 12 in BL2, I've been playing for eleven hours. So far I'm using a revolver that I found at level 10 which has a level 7 requirement, I've hardly found anything else worth using. Even at level 12, level 10 "quests" are sometimes still gruellingly difficult.
How much more "grind" do I have to put in before the game gets fun like the original Borderlands?

I loved borderlands 1. Borderlands 2 is ok, but never really grabbed me the way the first one did. There is too much loot and most of it is the exact same.

Also both 1 and 2 are very alike. Which means borderlands 2 is just more of the same.

But, I think you must be playing it wrong, or looking at the stats of weapons wrong or something, because the game isn't that hard on the first playthrough. Where are you stuck?
 
Never got any rare items off Savage Lee or Doc Mercy. But I have from some unexpected sources. I have also nearly missed a few. Also, never got anything from DJ Tanner. Apart from the Big Boss fights, collecting rare items is very hit and miss.

Currently playing as Gaige lvl58 UVHM. Friday evening would be great. I'll add you now.
 
If you're struggling to continue, just cheat and give yourself some items and see if that improves your enjoyment of the game.

If wish to give yourself items then get the item codes from here

Then use save editor to add them to character. Back-up you save game first by making a copy of it.

Alter their level as you increase instead of repasting them. Some of the tasty sounding items will be DLC locked.
 
Thanks for the advice and recommendations. I spent the last three hours playing with my friend as I mentioned above and the teamwork element made the whole experience significantly more enjoyable.

I stand by my statement that the loot system is shocking though. In the three hours I went up three levels, we found a good number of guns (probably about fifty or sixty), but without exception they were all worse than what we were already carrying.

I will attempt to resist the temptation to save-edit, I remember how fun that was in endgame BL1 though, so it's difficult to resist :D
