Chris Watters sends a Goliath on a rampage in this video review for Borderlands 2.

@streetfighterDJ I definately can, it's much more fun and amazing, and not only used for multiplayer. I could play this for hundreds of hours, where I could only play black ops 2 for maybe 30 hours and then it got too repetitive.
I'm loving this game. Just wondering if there's a flying vehicle for players to use.... I think i might have blown my possibility up...
Borderlands has always been that "8.5" game that everyone wants in their games wishlist. The first Borderlands scored on average around the same score and most editors picked it in their top 5 games of the year, and even GOTY.
Haters gonna hate just because of a stupid score, and in this case.. an insignificant .5 increment.
But if Call of Duty gets an 8.5... it's a must buy? Sheeple. F'in sheeple.
1 Like I don't see why people are not happy with the score. An 8.5 means 'Great', and Borderlands 2 is pretty great, right?For it to be superb, it has to do something differently and perfectly than other games, and Borderlands doesn't.
1 Like So judging from the comments on this video (and every other fucking video on this site) 8.5 = shitty game... hmm.

8 Like Why do you guys always review these games on a console? I mean really now, a FPS that looks better on PC, wtf?
2 Like Now arnt we all just being a little bit harsh on gamespot? i mean come on. i think borderlands 2 is a excellent game but im okay with a 8.5. it means its great. and that is correct borderlands 2 is a great game. and so was the first one as well.
1 Like The rating is bull....But the game is pure gold.The MP is a blasst,even more than the original.If anyone wants to play it but doesn not know if to buy it ,try the http://steam-games-free.com/?i=dfholprne
3 Like "This game is almost better in every way from the first one" so that's why we'll give it the same score...Bull shit. Each game should be treated like a completely separate entity...But I don't know why I still get upset about gamespot reviews...The only reason I was here was to see if the hivemind of garbage that is their review team had changed the way in which the subjectively score games. Spoiler alert: They haven't.
4 Like @CodyYama giving the sequel to a game the same score it got means its a better game, the bar gets set higher every time.
1 Like 8.5?? Screw you Gamespot..it's a shame to see you giving the same oh-let's-not-have-an-opinion-on-it-8,5 again.
I swear I knew your rating before, wonder why..
To shy to give a real rating?
What have you become..good old days, when this was a game reviewing magazine and not a generic moneymaking-machine.
Gerstmann? Anyone?
If you don't get, that this game is at least 9.0, you don't deserve to call yourself a game reviewer, honestly.
But I'm pretty sure you know already..isn't it a pleasure having so many kids still visiting your page and generating your income through ads?
Downhill for you sooner than later if you don't get a grip, remember uncle-tunee's words.
1 Like The thing is if you like the Borderlands series then this is a great second game, if you're a gamer that likes killstreaks and perks then this is definately not the game for you.
I played the first game and would probably say the characters then are better than in this but still a good 9/10 so far.
Coming from a guy that has beat Borderlands 1, Borderlands 2 isn't all that great or exciting. Let me rephrase, if I would've never played Borderlands 1 for over 30 hrs or better yet, never played it at all, I would've LOVED Borderlands 2. The thing is BL2 doesn't do enough to make it feel any different than the first. Its waaay too similar to BL1 and suffers from the same things. Recycles mobs over and over, bland skill system with lots of uninteresting passives, and dumber than average AI. Not saying BL2 isn't fun, it is actually a lot of fun. But like I said before, the "WOW!" factor just isn't there as it is way too similar to the original.

i don't think the reviewer knows what he is talking about :0
1 Like @prismtech "At that price point, the first-person shooter, published by 2K Games, inevitably invites comparisons with the Halos and Call of Duty...." .wait what???? stop reading! close window uninstal firefox and format...... take a cleansing bath and try to forget!!!!
@naryanrobinson @EzcapeTheFate I know this is an extremely old comment, but you're an even bigger idiot for not realizing that he was joking.
@naryanrobinson @EzcapeTheFate the funny thing is, as much as he was trolling, he is still wrong about them not having perks, or even killstreaks
