It's not fundamentally flawed. It could be a very good game if the developers didn't execute every element of it in entirely sub-decent fashion.Frostbite3789 said:
PAX 2011: Borderlands 2 Is Bigger, Better, and Bad-ass-ier
- Thread starter Greg Tito
- Start date
Get em Blood! Seriously hoping i can still get my Mordechai on, that lanky little goggle wearing weirdo always made me happy, especially kill stealing from my melee happy housemate. Pretty sure i'll be getting Borderlands 2 on preorder. The only things it needs to improve on the first is an ending that lives up to the rest of the game, and a world that feels slightly more populated.
As a side note, while i wont dispute that the vehichle mechanics were a long long way from perfect, and making those mechanics better could make it easier and more intuitive to get used to. Cruising around the dessert and trying to take out badguys in those clunky dune buggys and flying off cliffs is easily some of the most fun i've had driving anything in anygame. I dont know how to explain it properly but driving those things, after a while, those vehichles felt just the right weight to do and go exactly where i wanted.
Captcha: Objective acklett. pretty sure im some kind of sleeper agent.

The first one was awesome... but I had no idea the first one was a "sleeper hit"... I was wanting it from the get go.
I was hoping that I could carry over my Brick character Mass Effect style because punching a 10 foot tall enemy and watching as he explodes from the impact never gets old 
I'm actually really happy to hear that the sequel is going to feature all-new characters. I enjoyed the first game immensely, but bringing in new ways to play seems to be exactly what's needed to prevent sequel stagnation.
Is that Markus's head latched onto a giant, fat robot with guns?
I love this game and it's not even out.

From Brown to Brilliant? Because the cell shading made it less brown and monotous? Bwahahahaha!Greg Tito said:
Anyway, the succes of Borderlands kind of depresses me. The fact that gamers are willing to look over a bland art style, awful AI, NPC's that were non-characters, a bad ending, extremely little variation overall, all that and more for the sake of Skinner Box-style loot spam. *deep sigh*
Ah well, at least the sequel seems to fix at least a few of those things
omg the colors! Basically all they have to do to make me enjoy this game is just MORE add more everything.
Oh god. I sooo want this game.
I missed out on the original Borderlands. I don't want to miss out on this one. It's looking like a great contrast to the upcoming FPSs that are... honestly starting to put me to sleep.

So the attached images...
were they concept art images or in-game images?
Can't really tell.
Regardless, I'm very excited for the sequel to my favourite game of 2009.

Borderlands can fk off. I can't get them to respond to help me with getting the first one running on my computer through the official forums tech section. I loved the game to death on the 360, but so far I'm utterly disappointed with their support and will not purchase future titles from the publisher until I can get the first one running. More upset by their lack of response.
