I was greatly disappointed with the first Borderlands.

But I'll be damned if this doesn't manage to look interesting.

For me it comes down to one thing.

Are those rocket launchers on his back or not. [http://images2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20120222170013/borderlands/images/d/d2/Axton2.jpg]

Anyway I fucking loves me some Borderlands. I love the increased colour palette which was a real problem with the first. I cant wait to take on that mother fucking Hanar. The new menu looks amazing. Lets just hope this one is optimised for PC unlike the last one.

As for Zero, as long as he aint another melee class then yeah. Everyone will use him. If hes all up close bullshit then he will end up another dud like the Brick.

No, it's not on his back. If you watch the video, the camera pans around him. It looks like it may have legs though...

funny thing... i liked Mordecai the least. it was due to his costume mostly, since all 4 play styles for the characters were agreeable for me (siren was my favorite though)

i wasn't GREATLY disappointed with the first one, but it certainly left a good bit to be desired. the only real reason i never beat it though was the lack of horizontal-split split-screen. seriously, that vertical split shit just made me and my brother rage. (never played online either because then i cannot smack the person who stole the gun i wanted... and the XBL account is linked to my brother's account on the system, so i couldnt play my own character(s))

Give it to me! Give it to me now! I can take it!

Music didn't catch my fancy but seriously I will play the shit out of this when it comes out. First game was almost perfect (Ending not taken into account) The DLC was epic and worth every penny, and it was always a blast to play with friends.

Borderlands 2 is looking to be every bit as awesome as 1 if not more.

Also am I the only one that chuckled at the fact that split screen was announced as a feature?

I was going to say this, but the promise of more "wub wub" killed it for me.
... Can't tell if serious. It's clearly a joke, if that's enough to stop you buying a game, jeez...

OT: 96.5% more Wub Wubs? I will give you all my money. In all seriousness, though, this might be a game I'll pick up. The first one was decent, and if this one improves in a few key areas it'll be a great game. And zero looks awesome.

Worse is subjective, so that would depend on your taste. I suppose you could categorise it as "bro step", but it's not American. It's Doomsday by Nero, who are an English duo who've been around since before anyone ever used the term brostep.

I think I'm going to joy puke for the first....

*runs to the toilet and some ungodly noises come from it then a flush*

Ok, ALL the guns, the dubstep, the guns, new characters, the guns, the vehicles, the guns, the returning characters, the guns, the world, the guns, claptrap, and the guns have convinced me. GEARBOX, TAKE ALL MY MONEY!

I wanted to like the first one but found it utterly unengaging for single player....and that siren chick looks a little too much like Lilith.

What is this strange feeling? I think I actually ENJOYED THE WUBS!

OT: Anyway...

"'Dat trailer..."

I think I'll just buy it for the promise of split-screen multiplayer. I loved it in Borderlands 1. So many hours spent grinding on the zombie island with friends.

Also, me want siren. I love me some magic powers and such.

Hmmmmm...let's run through the "Are you hyped?" checklist:

1. Has your jaw been dropped? ...check.

2. Has your mind been blown? ...check.

3. Have you shat your pants due to the awesomeness that is CL4P TP? ...dammit, check.

Congratulations! You are officially hyped. In order to relieve the stress caused gradual hype build-up as the game nears release it is advised you go and pre-order this game immediately.

Well!? You heard the doctor! Let's get to it!

Hey I played Mordecai before it was cool. Also Mordecai is an incredibly solid character, he's not quite as powerful as Lilith but he has (In my opinion) the best class ability, and is absolutely beastly when you use him effectively. Although most people probably pick him because snipers are the cool thing at the moment.

Im either going to use Zero or Salvadore on my first playthrough, probably Zero though since I liked Mordecai so much.

Damn, I like the look.

I passed on Borderlands; it's not so much of an issue to pick it up soon, but I'm currently backlogged by...double digit amounts...among 3 different consoles. While it's early to say now, would you Escapists think this is a title I could possibly skip out on the first, and pick up the second and be okay?

I'm liking what I see. I still have to decide if I really need to pre-order it yet, but there is some time left for me to put some thought into it
