Borderlands 1 & 2 discussion thread : Othor Games

I've gotten my magazine, but luckily someone on the Gearbox forum http://forums.gearboxsoftware.com/showthread.php?t=128693 already. I'm really glad that the 4 playable characters from the first game will be in it, and we'll get to learn more about them. And that Gearbox is trying to improve on the storytelling, but will still make it so that you can ignore it like you could in the first game (I'll pay attention to it but I know plenty of people don't care about the story). I wish we got a few more details on the other playable characters besides the Gunzerker, but I guess they're going to reveal them one at a time until release.

Poor Claptrap is missing? They better have a wise-cracking robot that replaces him...

Enemies sound awesome.

New guns with really over the top distinctions? Sweeet.

Looking forward to more dynamic gameplay, especially when it comes to enemies and their AI.

I like being able to fail missions and have them affect the story. More RPG elements! Yay!

Sooooo excited for this.

Claptrap just wasn't in the demo GI saw. Gearbox said that you'll run into Claptrap a lot because he's trying to take down Hyperion just like the player is, but for different reasons.

Oooh gotcha. Misread it.

Good. I loves my Claptrap.

Yeah I got mine earlier today, I'm kinda dissapointed that they didn't announce any other of the classes besides Gunzerker. I kinda wished I still had the option of playing as Lilith but oh I guess the new classes will probably be better.

I know teaser trailers are supposed to be, well, teasers, but wow that was short. Hopefully we can see some gameplay soon.

Hmmm...more snow levels? 4 armed baddies? Robot baddies? Giant-ass spoked drum magazines?

Good enough teaser.

I really hope Borderlands 2 has a better ending than the first.

"Hey you killed the final boss; here's a couple of crappy guns that he dropped, enjoy!"

At least the DLCs made up for that though.

The Zombie Island was awesome.

The Zombie Island was awesome.

General Knoxx was way better. I had so many hours of awesome fun with friends playing Borderlands. I can't wait for the second.

Just bought my copy of Borderlands so I can finally play it at home instead of at my cousin's house. I'm not sure which class to play as, but my last character was Mordecai.

What are the core gameplay differences between each class?

This is a basic layout, someone else will need to explain in detail as to the main differences between the classes. I can't really do that because I only play as Lilith the Siren.

Roland is more of a soldier type character
Mordecai is a Sniper type Character
Lilith is a Stealth type character with the best class power
Brick is a melee type class

If you're playing by yourself, I'd suggest Lilith, because she's so overpowered and fun to play that it at least somewhat makes up for the otherwise not very fun singleplayer. Otherwise, you can check the Borderlands wiki to see each character's available skills. The class mods available for each character try to make you focus on specific weapon classes- SMGs for Lilith, Snipers and Pistols for Mordecai, Assault Rifles for Roland, and I think rocket launchers for Brick. You can obviously use all guns on all characters but if you want to specialize in a specific type of weapon, then there's a character that goes along with it.

I really hope IGN isn't being ignorant like they always are but I saw mentioning of the Siren class coming back. I really, really hope that's true.

Hey everyone! I got borderlands again for the 360. I would love to play with someone from the forums! We should start characters together!

Same as my forum name!

Edit: If you friend me, please specifically say you are from the Beth forums, otherwise i will probably decline.

Oh my gosh. This game had about the worst ending...Oh well. It wasn't really a story focused game anyways.

Confirmed: The original 4 characters will be back in the 2nd game but not as playable characters.

Kinda sad, but excited to see what they do with putting them in the story and seeing the next 3 classes revealed.

I enjoyed borderlands 1. What I disliked about it was the very limited actual role-play perspective of it. I hope borderlands 2 has a lot more of the actual role-play in it, or otherwise I'll just ignore it all together.

Dead Island is a bit similar to borderland in a way, it might be worth checking out.

I got Borderlands: GOTY edition on steam, my steam ID is shastantex.

» Mon Jul 16, 2012 12:39 pm

WOO! Steam is selling Borderlands: GOTY edition 75% off! That means it's a measly $7.49! Bought it right away.

I love the humor in this game, the ending was probably my favorite part lol, also like how the weapon manufactures are so different, like the cheap gun you throw away
