It does give me slightly more motivation to preorder, but a proper port isnt everything. The game itself needs to be decent. And the first Borderlands fell way short of that mark.
Borderlands 1 was a good game, you just didn't like it, which is perfectly fine I can completely understand someone not liking the game but its just I am tired of people mixing up how much they liked a game with how good it was. Also borderlands 2 from what I have seen and read about is just a improvement on the first game in all major and many minor areas (though some claims I have yet to see evidence for)
Actually, when you look at it objectively (however much that is possible when discussing games) it was nothing special. Everything in that game had been done before, and most things had been done better.
You know why Borderlands was received so well? Because it came out when fuck all else was coming out. It was that dry period of the year, with all the fancy titles from Easter and Christmas becoming boring, and then boom, Borderlands entered the set, dragging decent co-op along with it. And everyone from COD kiddies to RPG lovers crawled over to it like a dehydrated person crawls to an oasis after 2 days in the desert.
And thats great. But it doesnt make Borderlands an outstanding game. For a loot driven shooter the menus were terrible, the vehicle controls were a one way ticket to suicide bombing Gearbox's offices and the ending sucked even more balls than the already unspectacular premise. On top of all of that, the PC version was so bad it literally gave millions of people headaches and nausea. A good game? I dont think so.
And now Borderlands 2 is coming up, and I havent seen anything apart from some flashy trailers with a dubstep soundtrack. Yawn. Maybe I havent been looking hard enough.
