Borderlands 1 & 2 discussion thread

I'm really excited, we've definitely gotta play co-op as soon as it's released, along with other members I'm sure.

This is 2012's equivalent of Skyrim for me :ahhh:

Oh, we definitely will, as long as they don't go back to the port issues they had :P haha

No magazine today :(

What's that? No, it's not unreasonable to expect the magazine to come within 6 hours of the announcement... the post office just needs to invest in some teleporters.

MAN!.. I was just going to make a Borderlands 2 topic. Always.. lol.

Anyway, I played the living CRAP out of the original Borderlands. I even had all the add-ons (except the Claptrap one). Almost all the achievements as well. Once I found previews and screenshots of the game I was intrigued.

PLUS, my local Meijer Store had it on sale for 40$. And it just so happened that I had a 40$ Gift Card from X-Mas. (Pretty much got it for FRIZEE!) :intergalactic:

Just got wind of B2 today... I thought my lil bros cousin was lying but he showed me you could already pre-order on GameStop.com. Can't wait for this one wonder if it'll be more players in co-op? (6 instead of 4 maybe?). Crapton more weapons obv. But more Character/Classtypes to choose from instead of just 4. Catch my drift? XD

Def. a game on my list for next year, next to HALO MOTHAF***ING 4!!!

In a single sentence:

RPG with humor and lots and lots of freaking guns.

In detail:

It's a self-described Role-playing shooter. Story kind of takes a backseat to humor and old-school RPG-style looting everything that's not nailed down for the sake of getting your next shiny, possibly flame, acid, explosive, or electricity-shooting gun. Guns are generated using a procedural generation system that randomizes stats and things like sights, etc, on the guns so you will never get the exact same gun twice. Also, there's an enemy called Mutant Midget Psycho. Just throwing that out there.

totally psyched for Borderlands 2. i always felt like the biggest problems with the original game stemmed from the fact that it wasn't 100% designed around the art style - there were still a lot of weird remnants of the previous game, odd choices in level design, and the tone was kind of conflicting at times. i'm positive Borderlands 2 will be a general improvement in most areas.

the biggest things i'm hoping for right now are more variety in weapon generation, as far as the way things look, feel and act (like, say, the idea of the bee-loaded revolver that was going around before release), and a bit of procedural generation for the areas in between points of interest. adding a bit of variety to each playthrough would do wonders for keeping the game fresh for just jumping in and starting a game with bros.
