Borderlands 2

I'm shocked this thread not been create in the weeks following the full trailer release

First off, considering there is no Borderlands thread, what features would you like to see/not see in this game? Also, who wishes they could keep sniping with Mordecai or going bezerk with Brick instead of having to get used to all new characters/classes?


EDIT:

One reason I loved the old game was the humorous commentary. Already got a favorite from the Borderlands 2 trailer.

More skills.*

*for the payment of bigger bills.

I'm just now playing the first Borderlands... It's been on my shelf for almost a year now. I'm not looking forward to much this fall since Bioshock Infinite and Tomb Raider was pushed back to 2013, so I can see myself getting really excited for it soon.

Of the 3 people I've let my game to since I got an Xbox, all three plan on preordering Borderlands 2. I don't have high hopes for Infinite since the Bioshock 2 showing.

BioShock 2 was pretty good, IMHO, but nowhere near as good as the first one. With that said, a different team altogether worked on 2 than the original. The team working on Infinite is were the original makers of BioShock and that's why everyone's going apeshit.

but yeah, I'm really enjoying Borderlands so far. Hopefully I'll get some time in tonight to do some exploring.

Gearbox just announced a couple if special editions of B2:

Honestly it just looks like another lame first person shooter for the kiddies. Not my cup of tea.

Well, I'm having a blast with Borderlands. At this point, Borderlands 2 is a shoe-in. While there is a certain juvenille charm to it, I find a refreshing difference between it and the popular FPS on the market today. It's like a mix between Fallout 3 and, Left 4 Dead, but all awesome! I'd reccommend it.

Here is some editorial analysis from a few editors at IGN.com on the only returning class the Siren:

... And now, the new Gunzerker Class!

I'm curious if the assassin class is going to be a total bitch with high damage or suck overall but look spiffin.

Editorial comment of gameplay from the Commando Class!!

Last, but not least, the Assassin Class!!

I know this may not be flattering for me, but I have a date tonight... to play some coop Borderlands and I'm excited!! I guess it's the best a married Dad can do these days. I keep hearing in my head "YOU NEVER SHOULD'VE COME HERE AND NOW YOU'RE GOING TO PAY!!"

Will Borderlands 2 Come to The Playstation Vita?


This is exactly the kind of game that I'd like to have access to during my long train rides to work!

This is a very odd statement from Gearbox, but boy am I glad they made it. I hope the powers that be at Sony take advantage of this and bring Borderlands 2 to the Vita!!

My train commute is 1.5-2.0 hours. I have a Vita and it is a fantastic piece of technology. Even though there are about 40 games available for it, very few of them appeal to me and my taste.

I was very concerned after Sony only spoke about 2 Vita game during E3, but I understand that there are several more AAA games in the pipeline for it and third party developers are dedicated to helping the platform succeed. Call of Duty Black Ops Declassified and Assassin's Creed Liberation and hopefully Borderlands 2 will renew my faith in the platform.

Thinking about that makes me want to kill myself!

The screen is bigger and better than the PSP, 3DS, iPhone and other smartphones... and the games are much more engrossing, IMHO. Unit 13, the third person shooter on Vita had 36 10-15 minute missions for its campaign and a co-op mode via wi-fi and 3G. I thinks it worked really well as a mobile game. MLB The Show is doing pretty good too. There is also a mechanism for Playstation to implement an "app" like market on the Vita via the PSN. They really should open the platform up developers. I honestly can't recommend anyone to buy a Vita just yet, but if more AAA games come and a price drop, I think it would do just fine.

No, one straight train ride for me. I could honestly drive it in an hour & ten, but I like sitting back, reading the paper, playing my Vita and after I've gone North of the city, I even catch some light nap time. I actually see a ton of people making the same trip or going even further everyday. I imagine it's a big city thing. The truth is that there are people who live in the city that drive to work and take just as long.

True enough. I just defeated the Crawmerax for the first time in the General Knoxx DLC. If I ran into a big boss like that on the Vita, I might have been a little let down that I didn't experience it for the first time on my Big Screen.

Good News!!!

So unless something extraordinary happens, Borderlands should release on time!!

Paid off my pre-order over the weekend. Thinking about taking the day off since my Game Stop is doing a midnight sale for this release.

Anyone else give this a spin yet? I played for an hour or two last night. Pretty smooth, but somethings just a little off. Plenty of redneck marauders, but no slags to hunt yet.

Can't wait to try some co-op! If anyone's on PS3, I'm hyperhealer3

SKAGS!! Finally ran across some last night along with a ton of psycho rednecks!!! 1 familiar face and a few new enemy types.

Got this from Steam last night. Well, actually, Amazon.com was a few bucks cheaper, then I activated the key on Steam.

I also chose the Zerker and kind of regretting it. I completed mission 5 and I may start over with Zero or the girl again. Best to try them all out in the beginning methinks.

I get a kick out of telling everyone I'm "going Commando." You should see some of the looks I get. At first I felt that Axton was too much of a pretty boy for me, but I've unlocked some skins that turns him into a bad ass.

I'm at level 11 now and ran into my first Goliath last night. I sneaked up on him, pulled out my sniper rifle and squared up a perfect shot to his head. Let's just say that the encounter didn't go as I had planned
