We’re all friends here, so let me be honest: I felt cheated by Borderlands (the first one). It was all very pretty and I loved the environments and atmosphere… but to claim that it had billions of weapons is a bit like saying chips with vinegar is a completely different meal to chips with a bit more vinegar. That and the ending was such an anti-climax it made me wish I’d done something useful with my life like maybe writing a play, learning crochet, or being in a coma.
It’s alright though, Borderlands 2 is coming with enhanced prettiness and even more hyperbole about its gun-count, hurrah!
Hey, Gearbox: would a half-decent ending be too much to ask for second time round?
Claptraps little wub wub dance just secured Gearbox my first ever Steam Pre-purchase. Seriously, this game could be utter shite but that was gold!
The only issue I had with the first one was that it was too easy. There was a harder mode, but I’d have to complete the easy version before being allowed to play it. “No Gearbox! Bad Gearbox.”
If they can find that special sweet-spot to make this challenging and fun, then it should be good.
I WANT THIS.
