Borderlands 2 a 'no-brainer' - Gearbox

i love this game way better than most games i've played

Borderlands is the only game to fully master the Role Playing Game and shooter experience in one.

Agreed. Borderlands is one of the best games I have played/still playing.

Borderlands is far more Better than COD:MW2 ... especially in co-op LAN game ... they deserve more sales ...

Bring more DLC!!!

Borderlands = best game ever

I think that the first thing that Gearbox should look at add for a sequel is different armors for characters. The ability to augment armor and weapon with different effects, i.e corrosive crystals give corrosive damage/resistance. A good pvp system would be really cool. The last thing i would want is more enemy types. also just for fun, more cannon fodder during battles.

Borderlands 2 hopes: better Gun Generator, 5 classes, Enemy Generator, Quest Generator,Landscape Generator.... i give Borderlands a 10/10, but wouldnt it be amazing with a quest generator...like seriously never ending quests or enemies...omg i would have a heart attack!

Love Borderlands. Glad for the DLC and the next installment. Now, wonder why the Gamestop employee tried to talk me out of purchasing Borderlands? --As a Gamestop employee I got to tell you this happens a lot. Just like anybody else, everyone at my store has different opinions about different games, since we all have unique tastes in games, favorite genres, etc. So if you come in when I'm working, you'll hear Borderlands is badass, but if you come in when my assistant manager is working, he'll tell you it's nothing special. We may know a lot about games, but we're still people with our own opinions, and they are just opinions!

Im sorry guys, but people complaining about 'all there is to do except kill creatures, NPC's, collect guns, drive and run around doing missions, upgrading you character (of which there are 3) etc' what exactly do you want?

They better release this for the PC as well, otherwise i'm going to do something drastic. NOBODY keeps me from killing zombies!

Already got my points card ready to go Nov. 24th...and I'm very interested to see how much they'll add... "Love Borderlands. Glad for the DLC and the next installment. Now, wonder why the Gamestop employee tried to talk me out of purchasing Borderlands?" @Gruug Are you serious?? What a douche...I was the ONLY person in my store to push this game and everybody came back and said they loved it...honestly that guy doesn't deserve to work retail if he tells you NOT to buy an awesome game....I might not have been a fan of CoD MW2 but I never told anyone not to buy it because of my personal opinions...

Zombies in Borderlands, genius. I just wish there was more to do besides kill NPCs and eachother in Borderlands. To put it quite simply, that is all there is to do.

I'm surprised they have not told us they also have DLC ready for the 2nd edition. (lol)

Who cares if the story ending wasn't what you wanted or expected? Borderlands isn't about story. It's about treasure hunting, lighting your enemies on fire, and shotguns that shoot rockets. When you've got that much awesome packed in one game, how do you even have the time to worry about story?

Love this game! I hope the sequel doesn't end up to be totally disappointing. *coughFable2cough*

I love this game so much I can not put it down!!!!

I don't get all the hype for this game, I find it boring. You just get missions, kill creatures/people, make money, then do other missions, no story whatsoever, and the guns all look and feel alike. I kind of like the cartoony graphics though.

I've read many suggestions for improvements on this board so I thought I'd add my own... it would be better to have one vehicle that can be upgraded and customized, or different kinds of vehicles, and the game should be totally open world like fallout 3: no separation of areas. Finally, a third play through would be great!

Love Borderlands. Glad for the DLC and the next installment. Now, wonder why the Gamestop employee tried to talk me out of purchasing Borderlands?

ill get this game sooner or later

@Cronosfire I always check reviews out before I buy any game. Not only on Gamespot because I don't agree with some of their ratings, but on gamerankings.com. I already knew that the ending sucked, but I would've liked to figure out for myself why it was deemed "anti-climatic."

@dark-wolf12 that?s a great idea to continue with your characters from the first game. Mass Effect 2 is doing so i hope gearbox will do the same, and add some new ones.

I wonder if they'll introduce more characters? and if you can continue on with your old one... But anyway, it's good to see Gearbox supporting it's fans, (sorry PC but you'll be getting some DLC eventually) unlike some other developers out there...

And once again, PC users get the shaft on DLC...

@fiskefyren Calm down, and read the last sentence of the article.

@jango-man well im sorry that i forgot but oh well you should of know the ending blew if you did any research on the game before you bought it....

wait a min... what about the PC version? won't we get any zombing killing? now that would suck ass! makes me not want to buy a borderlands 2. **** you gearbox if this is to be true!

@Cronosfire Good job on the spoiler man. I haven't beat the game yet but I really appreciate having the ending of a game I am going to put a lot of time ruined by some guy who can't put a "Spoiler Alert" on his post. Hats off to you.

Sweet. I enjoyed the first. :)

Oh nice, I like Borderlands :) I hope they do both! (expansion + sequel) But i don't think they should do a Zombie island since Fallout 3 has the exact same thing (point lookout DLC) and the game is already looking alot like it.

I'll never turn down more of something that is this awesome. FPS + RPG makes too much sense!

I have enjoyed playing Borderlands, and would buy a sequel. However, I hope that some of the small, but annoying issues (fast travel, mapping, quest variety) can be addressed. I really like the game, but it could be a lot better with just a few tweaks. That's what sequels are for, right?

I need to try out this game

Great stuff, it's easily one of the most anticipated titles already

borderlands 2 sounds great all im saying is in the second one give us more of a story the first was so bleh then you got to the vault then nothing..... so all i want is the story of each character and a little bit more on the planet but other than that i love this game!

I'm so torn with this game. I hear far and wide how fun it is, but I don't like first person shooters. I do however love RPGs. I also don't like hearing that the most fun to be had with the game is with multiplayer because I like to game alone. But it really sounds like a lot of fun. I'm going to give the game a rental and if I'm feeling it, I might join the masses, break my personal rule against FPS games and buy it.

Oh and to all the people in this forum thanks for not bashing on me for expressing my opinion, I'm seeing more and more reason why I should pick this game up from all your answers back toward me :) @ cruandrew I loved Diablo so if that's the case this is a no brainer.

@axeman87 I just might have to give a try, everybody keeps telling me to! Especially if you have some online buddies, which even in the review you can kinda hear it in there voice that playing single player is not the way to go, but to go at it with friends. I do have 80 smackers left on my gamestop card so maybe!

Sweet!!!!

yeah but hows about fixing the hundreds of bugs first (like the server list) btw cn someone reply to what im about to say for other comps does adding dynamic shadows really kill fps for other pc gamers? if i do it halves fps from a stable 60 to around 30? because other games eg bioshock on full blast can run on full at 60+ so was wondering the game or my pc?

awesome news i just hope this time around you can creat your own character

yeah gamespy is poo poo wish they woulda copied the achievements over and made steam achievements for those of us that got it through steam.... also some kind of item trading mechanic as opposed to just dropping an item on the ground and hoping that the other guy drops his, people on the internet cannot be trusted - thanks for the sweet gun, bye! \disconnect

I bought the PC version and there's a framework for a very, very good game here. The one thing Gearbox can do to improve this in the sequel is to ditch Gamespy for PC multiplay support. Using Steam to manage the multiplay aspect would really help this game shine.

I can't quite put my finger on why, but Borderlands is the most fun I have had with a game in quite a while. Its probably the combat- very fun. And it has possibly the biggest maps I have ever seen.

they need to f@$#ing fix multiplayer and keybinds and FOV, and implement a trade system for PC before they release a sequel

@kaboom did you read what i said about this game on a previous post you fool?!?!! every rpg has the same enemies! but its HOW THEY ARE PLAYED LATER which brings the challenge. was i bored with the get the crystals? yeah, but after awhile, you realized it was FUN! how many times do you see a boss with 1hp? i am pretty sure NEVER YOU FOOL SO SHUT UP! gearbox, you are right when you say an rpg and fps had a baby, i see tons of elements from call of duty and halo in this game with some from fallout 3 and wow. keep it up. love the game, ready for another adventure to pandora soon

anyone could have told you that due to the closing cutscene with claptrap. cybernetic ninja assassin? we will find out more about the vault and pandora and why most of these companies have basically made pandora into a shooting gallery and no one has asked why or interfered! am i the only one who plays this and noticed that?!?!!? pandora is DANGEROUS! no wonder you dont see children there! heh

Right now I can't get enough of this game. I have three characters and am enjoying it thoroughly. Nice work Gearbox! Well worth the wait!
