Borderlands 2 Is Officially a Thing

"Hi, I'm Alex... I'm a... Thing"

Aaaahhhhhhhhrrrggggghhhhhhhhhhg... stopping writing titles with the same retarded manner in which you talk

Better inventory management, maybe?

No thanks. I was tricked into buying the first one and when I started playing it it was an unplayable, broken, and buggy POS. I refuse to give these guys another $60.

Great news to wake up to. Best announcement of the year as far as I'm concerned. I've been heavily playing borderlands for the past couple years, and can't wait for the sequel. Looking forward to more info. Until then, back to Borderlands 1 for now.

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.

Who said they don't want to support it? Supporting a mode, and focusing on a mode are two different things. The focus for Borderlands is multiplayer, so by default it's going to be a better experience in that mode. Left 4 Dead supports single player, but again, to get the most out of that game you have to play it in multiplayer. Unless you're an MMO, you have to have some sort of single player component.

Play with people on Giant Bomb? I'm sure a shit load of us will be playing that game when it eventually comes out.

I want a Heat game I don't care about the post apocalyptic bore.

Actually I liked playing Borderlands solo. Something about the lonliness/music, terrain and accomplishment based missions made solo very appealing. I sunk a fukton of hours into Borderlands, did most of the dlc. I also got pretty flatassed bored by the end, so I hope they do think of the sp more(but at least allow for it) and improve other features. I'm into a Borderlands2, but I doubt I could ever play more Border. 1

My sentiments exactly.

Borderlands is not for everyone. It's kind of like JRPG, there's a devoted audience.

@Vendetta: I have very similar feelings. I love that game, but after beating it twice, I just got sick of it and can no longer even fathom playing borderlands again for even one hour.

Hopefully, by next year, I'll have an itch for more Borderlands...

Customizable characters, please.

I might get it if my friends get it. We played through the first one and found it way too easy with three people and kinda boring in parts. Hopefully the sequel can remedy some of that.

I know this is against the popular idea among the hardcore that Borderlands is one of the greatest things ever... But by the time I was finished with that game I was so sick of it that I'll probably never go back to it again. And unless the sequel is far different I'll probably have to pass.

Nice! I put like 200+ hours into the first. Can't wait for this one!!

Finally "quality time with my brother 2.0" is announced!

Borderlands is literally THE only game both me and my brother like.

Sweet.

YES!

Can we cut the whole "This is a thing" now? It's really fucking annoying.

If they build a decent interface for the PC ... im in!

More Borderlands can only be a good thing.

Slightly off-topic but it's weird that Eurogamer had a story that Borderlands 2 would be at Gamescom, which they got from an unnamed source, and a lot of games journalists and even Randy Pitchford were hating on them for it even though it was totally true.

Dear Gearbox,

Please auto-scoop loot. And include a button to buy max ammo. Oh and a shared vault that you can swap gear across your characters.

Besides those minor things, Borderlands was quite possibly the perfect game, for my money.

Oh hell yeah!

Excited!

I'm more than willing to spend hours upon hours in Pandora again, one of my favorite co-op games in a long while

I COULD LITERALLY NOT BE MORE EXCITED. FUCK.

Put it inside me.

Awesome I loved the first one so much.

Borderlands was not boring, hope they make more amazing than it was last time for solo players. 

This just made my day!!! I'm so stoked for this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeez, I forgot I owned the 1st one, that's how much I played it, not very engaging for my money. Maybe this will be better.

All I need is more Guns and areas. I think I had 100+ hrs in the first game

I would totally play a better Borderlands.

Duder no offense but Playing Boderlands solo is like . . . Well its just a bad idea!

90% of the time I spent with the game was playing solo, mostly because I always had really bad lag issues online for some reason. I still had a blast with it.

Agree

Fuck I got one more reason to go to GamesCom

@BadOrcLDR: I think I shall freak the fuck out with you, if you don't mind.

OMG!

I;m not surprised by this news, but it's still delightful.

Another reason to get Borderlands. Why can't you just make the GOTY Retail Version under $25?!

This makes me very happy!

Did I dream I read about Borderlands 2 being real? I swear I read an article about it last night. Trippy man.

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

awesome that a game like this gets a sequel.

OMG! OMG! OMG!

...pardon me while I freak the fuck out.

The original was a a solid title with a lot of potential for greatness, I'm pretty excited to return to Pandora.

Better classes, loot types, and environments thats all I'm asking for.

I really liked the first one and played solo through it more than once (a rarity for me).  I just hope it's different enough from the original and from Id's Rage to reignite my interest in the franchise.
