I'll be there on launch date.  Easily one of my favourite games of the last decade (all time?!).

I hate to come off like a troll, but I had trouble really getting into Borderlands. The main problem, as I see it, was that I was playing it alone. But the idea of a game built around "go here, shoot this, pick up loot, level up, continue ad nauseum, restart New Game +" seems like a huge time sink with no real benefit. I can sink 50 hours into Fallout 3 or Final Fantasy ___ because there's a story attached with the monotony, but Borderlands seemed almost pointless and had a paper-thin story to drag you along. It doesn't help that the promise of "OMG UNIQUE LOOT" doesn't really do it for me, nor does a game with endlessly respawning enemies.

So yeah, count me out for the sequel.

How can you say that on day one of the announcement? For all you know, they could address all of that. Let's see some info first.

Considering the stuff that I didn't like about the game were what made it stand out and a success....I doubt they're going to mess around with that formula much. Also, I have a LOT of other games that I actually want to play, so adding one that is a sequel to something I disliked doesn't seem worth it.

Fair enough. I'm usually with ya on games, but everyone differs somewhere.

I enjoyed the heck out of the first one but it took a little while to get it into it.

I loved this game as well. I'm eagerly awaiting the next one, hopefully they don't change it all too much. We'll see.

I picked up the first one on the PS3+ sale. My first spin on it left me a little flat, I wasn't expecting the hit points count down thing in a first person shooter. A friend came by on the weekend so we gave it a try since split screen FPS's are few and far between now. Hooks set in and we're loving it. It's become a weekly event. I'll be sure to pick up the sequel provided they don't get rid of the split screen.

I was enjoying Borderlands until I got to Thor and had major slowdown, and then major slowdown again at the approach to the Vault. I have a new, supposedly powerful computer, and it did that and played Duke Nukem Forever like shit, too. I figured maybe the latter wasn't optimized, but Tom's Hardware had a feature suggesting otherwise. With that, I've pretty much become discouraged with PC gaming. If a brand new computer won't play those games, it sure as hell won't play Rage or Borderlands 2. The end of Borderlands performed so poorly, I didn't even finish it. Too bad I hate FPSs on consoles. I probably have some correctable bottleneck, but I don't know what it would be. Whatever it is, even dropping the resolution and turning off gee whiz features doesn't help. rolleyes.gif
