Borderlands was kinda fun bring it on!!

 

[atminside]

cool, hope it wont be a console port to pc.

 

[wintermint]

This encourages me to finish Borderland [PC] it got put off cuz of school Must get 2nd one too!

It's kind of a letdown that they said it'd be set on pandora. There's a lot of story to investigate throughout the whole borderlands universe, why limit it to pandora only?

 

[bionicRod]

Borderlands was a lot of fun...but it looks like I'm not the only one who didn't finish it. 😉

Still playing the original Borderlands and expansions on steam.

at a press conference in early spring I remember an executive from gearbox, "mistakenly" mentioned borderlands 2 in the making. I wonder if their gonna spend another 5 years making this one.

MORE BOXES

Dear Gearbox,

Please let us know in advance if you are going to support robust graphics resolutions and aspect rations (with appropriate FOVs). I do not want to waste another dime on buying a modern game that has console-like restrictions on graphics configuration.

Thanks.

Could be decent. They'd better make a lot of changes to the first though as I've played that one to death and new story alone won't make me want to play it again.

I admit I wasn't a fan of the graphics. GPU barely hit 40% becuase it was barely anything. But I do love the game and as I said on Kotaku "yay!".

Cool story bro. You're an exception, not the rule.

Borderlands' ending sucked. If it's just going to be more of the same, I'll keep my $50. Getting there was fun, but it's tough enough to get my wife to play co-op on a shooter with me, without having her not want to play any more because of a rushed, letdown ending. Seriously, she won't even play the expansions because she was so disappointed. I'm used to it, but it's her first shooter since the original Doom circa 1993! What's the point of having a co-op game, when your gaming buds won't play it?

Sounds like you have hardware issues.

Borderlands 2 coming? Cool.

Another boring mindless FPS. The game industry has fallen low... where is the creativity anymore?

 

[Travis Beane]

Playing as Lilith, going stealth and then loading enemies up with a can of psychic whup-ass, and hearing her evil laugh as you do it, and then Moxie going crazy getting you to entertain her in her sick game sure made my day, how about you?

I'll wait, even if it takes a long time for them to do it right.

You haven't actually played Borderlands, have you? Not saying it's not mindless -- it is, in a Diablo 2 lootfest kind of way -- but your statement sounds like it's implying that Borderlands should be lumped in with you vs. an army FPSs like... every other one.

While its execution was certainly lacking, Borderlands was able to open up the FPS genre in a way that other games refuse to do -- while some games have either had pseudo-RPG things tacked on (the only example I can think of is CoD multiplayer with its perks) or were SO RPG as to not be shooters anymore (Fallout 3), Borderlands really was like playing Diablo 2 in the first person. With guns.

I really hope they can improve the endgame and/or story on BL2, and it's an almost guaranteed buy for me.

 

[BeeBahBoo]

Very excited about this!
Played through the first one twice.

 

[rantoc]

Loved Borderlands, it was however a bit to easy. Should have been able to set difficulty levels in it both single/multiplayer.

 

[kathiki]

Borderlands was an excellent and very addictive game marred by the sad ending indeed.... It brought very cool RPG features to the fps genre...

Hope they manage to incorporate more features than the original,that i must admit i have enjoyed more than any other game....

I am sure 2K will ahve enough time to listen to fans suggestions

You can increase the difficulty when more than one person is playing by editing the WillowGame.ini configuration file.
