Borderlands 2 Is Officially a Thing

Now with more boring!

Launched me right up into the bone zone.

Mission improvements is a welcome improvement. I hope to god the fix they biggest flaw with Borderlands though. We need END-GAME activities to actually use our loot with, doing Mad Moxxi isn't all that fun, and there isn't much else there that I'm aware of that keeps me coming back for more borderlands. And I played the shit out of it.

Anyone else buying Borderlands 2 sight unseen?

Finally! I've been waiting for the initial announcement

GOD DAMMIT, I WANT TO BE AT PAX.

I think this is the sort of thing that dreams are made of. I can't wait for this, now I'm going to go blissfully insane knowing that this is a thing now. Yayyayyayyay.

Great news.

From here on in I don't need details other than release date. Same game with less jank is enough for me.

I can't fucking wait. I absolutely loved borderlands despite it's flaws. And I played it solo from start to finish...3 times. I just hope they address my issues with the first game.

Just feed it into my veins! 
 
Seriously, Borderlands is one of the finest co-op experiences around.  The DLCs, whilst varying in quality, were always worth the money in content, and General Knoxx was one of the best DLCs ever (next to Undead Nightmare). 
 
Day 1 purchase!

I wish every headline written by Alex contained the word "thing."

It would be a fun little trademark. Just wish the title was longer.

Also, FUCK YES BORDERLANDS 2

Oh man I loved Borderlands. I hope they smooth out the shooting a bit more, though.

Hey guys, remember when Alex referred to the product in an article as a "thing"? Man, that was awesome.

Last week I bought the first one and all it's DLC on the PSN because it was on sale ($15 for whole bundle). I've been hooked on the single player ever since (started playthrough 2 to get to level 50) and I will be starting a 2 player split screen game with my buddy soon. Looking forward to 2 and glad I didn't have to wait since 2009 to get a sequel!

Hurrr Alex isn't funny.

Start your own fucking website.

LOL U MAD

Really? Trolls these days. Back in my day, trolling meant something.

Trolls these days have a template they can follow. They don't need to be funny anymore.

I wish every headline written by Alex contained the word "thing."

I put hundreds of hours into Borderlands, still have to beat the last 2 dlc packs, I will be getting this day 1.

I put over 300 hours in Borderlands across multi-player and single player, I will gladly give more days of my life to a sequel.

I like that they're trying to deliver a better story. Borderlands is a great game but had a terrible story and an even worse ending.

Border worlds please!. Or give me a raid size group of players that be cool.

Fingers crossed the PC version isn't a shitty port.

Knew this already from rivalvideogamewebsite.com's twitter feed. They've covered video games you know.

Also I will play this game. Loot lust always get's to me.

Oh my! :D

I best finish the first...

I never thought I'd say this...but Gamebomb.ru broke this story before Giant Bomb. I was glancing at the site through Google Translate just to see what it was about when I spotted the story, which I immediately assumed they had just made up. What is the world coming to!

Dual wield that shit.

Yay!

Yes, the greatest game ever is now in development. It is time to redeem yourself Gearbox.

Nice, for the most part I enjoyed the first one even though I played most of it solo.

Yes!

this is awesome news....until i saw the words Game Informer *shrugs* anyway still awesome news.

borderlands was boring, hope they make it more engaging for solo players.

My sentiments exactly.

I thought I was the only one.

Main reason why I could never get into the first one.

Hell yeah.

Is this Borderlands going Mass Effect on your ass yet maintaining all the goodies of the 1st one?

No motherfucking Gamespy on the PC version please. I see that piece of shit on a game and it's safe to say I'm not touching the multiplayer. Oh and a UI for the PC that wasn't designed by a retarded monkey.

Well, I'm less adamant about Gamespy on the PC, but just... give the PC version some more love. PC-specific UI, no navigating menus with keys. Better tooltips, etc.

SQUEEEEEEEESPOOGE.

*cleans up mess*

Man! This is exactly what I need! Borderlands on 360 is one of my proudest "S" ranks. So much great content!

YES

The game was created from the ground up to be played with others, this sort of criticism ain't fair.

Having said that, I think it was perfectly fine as a single player experience.

Well I don't have others to play it with, so what's wrong with me wanting them to improve the experience for single player? I didn't think playing solo was fine and it was immensely boring. If developers will let players play single player, then they also need to take the time to make sure that their game is fun in that mode. If they don't want to support it, then they should just disable all players from playing single player.

Man counter strike sucks, the bots are just duuuumb as hell.

Both games have an obvious focus on the multiplayer. But what exactly was boring about Borderlands' singleplayer anyway? I did a solo playthrough and it went just fine.

YES !

Awesome news!

Meh, I don't understand why there's much love for this game. I played through it but I found it to be boring. And yes I did play with others as well.

YEAH

I will get this. I hope they'll make Borderworlds. I want multiple worlds to explore!

From the image I can see we might get some city areas (or a long road area), grassy plains and snowy mountains. There are new robots, possibly the new Claptraps. There are new vehicles, some of which we might get to use - a flying vehicle and walker vehicle.

Then there is a creature on top of what might be a mining drill (reminded me of the Thumper from Firefall) - the creature might be a hint of a new mysterious enemy. These drills seem to be all over the snowy area. The large structure in the sky might be some kind of an Overseer structure (AI?). I can only hope that this is a space station players will play within, possibly taking players to another planet.

Oh, and Borderlands 2 also seems to feature weather changes, or at least diffirent weather in diffirent locations.

Oh awesome! I got confused, cause I was really expecting this announcement at E3. Better late than never! And after having just replayed the original during the Steam summer sale, I'm more excited than ever to be getting more Borderlands.

I'm not buying this game if the story is as terribad as the first one. 
 
Don't get me wrong - Borderlands had cool, unique graphics, nice variation in guns, excellent sound design, and decent (co-op) gameplay... but an absolutely horrid story ruined the original.

Idk 3 games from gearbox in 2012 seems like a big load. I hope the quality doesn't suffer

They recently acquired a lot of new manpower, so they might be up to the task.

Should've been called Borderworlds.
