PAX Prime 2011: Charting Borderlands 2

Borderlands 2!

edit: Hoping for the best. By what they're saying it's sounding good so far. Also...sexual tyrannosaurus?

third?

I'm quite sceptical

So excited for this game! I put in so much time into this game, even after beating all the DLC's and maxing out my characters.

BRING IT!

Really hope they can pull off a good story here. A few changes here and their but focus on the story more!

"you can just jump over shit"

CAN'T. WAIT.

really though, I'm excited to play more Borderlands.

I'm way to excited already for this game.......

2012...... FFFFUUUUUUUUUUCK

I'm pumped for this game... anyone wanna play some Borderlands 1?

Glad to hear they improved the driving.

Eh, more Borderlands, uhhh, no thank you. The first one was kinda of boring. I played about 8 hrs of it and I must have killed 100,000 Skags.
 
Hmm how to make this game even dumber. Dual sniper rifles? Good job.

@Dread612: I concur

Seems like you stayed in one spot for 8 hours and tried to level up. Great job Jeremy!

I, for one, hope the splitscreen is a returning aspect.

I started to play Borderlands again few days ago and it's a strange game. It's kind of bland and boring but I just can't stop playing it. I hope they can add more personality and variation to the second one. I will play the shit out of it regardless. It's some kind of sickness I think. Jeff knows.

sexual tyrannosaurus?

Very excited for this game hurry the fuck up 2012.

This is one of those games that, despite loving it in and of itself,l I couldn't stop thinking about how great sequel would be the whole time I was playing it. 
 
I know YOU were too.

Great job, Jeremy.

All sounding pretty ace thus far. Can't wait for some official gameplay trailers.

Super pumped!

The vehicles better be more durable. Nothing was worse in the first game then having your car get 2 shotted and dying.

Can't wait!

I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think "you're not gonna get stuck on every little rock anymore" is one of the most exciting improvements to this game that I've heard so far. That shit was super frustrating in the first game. Really want to see some gameplay footage.

Borderlands co-op was an amazing experience for me. Looking forward to this!

No mention of additional active skills, doi. Shooting Spiderants in the ass gets pretty tedious, please spice things up some more.

Can't wait, really. This is kind of the perfect sequel game 

@Rob_NYY: I kind of agree, kind of don't. Your right about singleplayer, but not so much in coop.

Are there gonna be guns in this one?

My Ready is Body.

Sounds like they took a good game and made it better.

Gripe alert:

I'm really cheesed at the BL2 PAX booth design. They were the only (or nearly the only) set-up with no footage view-able by people outside their booth. With only a one-day pass it was impossible to hit everything, and as nice as a stage demo can be I really didn't want to stand in a 2-hour line to not get hands-on with BL2 with so much playable stuff there. Other games which I didn't play I was able to look over the shoulders of players, or watch the big screen demo while standing in another line, but the giant Gearbox box was sealed tighter than The Vault.

Still looking forward to this game, though.

Waaambulance, AWAY!!!!!!

New characters, vehicles, abilities, environments. All this sounds good, but come on guys.. still no armor equipment? I am kinda disappoint.

OMG Jeff you had him so lined up for a "first or second half" follow up on that 2012 release date! :D

So glad they've improved the driving and environment diversity, my only real gripes with the original.

After getting tricked into buying the broken POS the game was the first time around, it's going to take a lot to get me to buy this one.

i've got 1750/1750 on the first one and i'm still playing it.
 
stupid ass game is impossible to stop playing.

man i can't wait for borderlands 2 to come out i sunk so many hours into the first one and all of the improvements he's said was shit i definitely hoped they would fix

Great job, Jeremy.

@crusader8463: What was broken about it?

@crusader8463 said:

@weeman105: It was impossible to play it online. I had bought a 4 pack on Steam to play with people, and not a single one of us could even log on let alone get a game going. Took about 6-8 months before they finally released a patch to get it somewhat working, but by then we were all too pissed off at the stupid thing to even play it.They never even acknowledged the game released completely and utterly broken, let alone apologized for it. So I refuse to support a company that thinks it's ok to screw over their customers like that, and it's going to take a fuck of a lot before I will even consider buying this. From what I read other places as well, the UI and feel of the game was pretty terrible too.

Same experience here. Fuck em. Played at a mates house on the 360 and it was a much better experience, shame that couldn't of happened with the pc version.

Sexual tyrannosaurus is a reference to Predator.  
 
Chewing tobacco makes you into one.

Very excited for this game hurry the fuck up 2012.

Was there equip-able armor, because if there wasn't then I don't give a fuck.

This might be late night crazies talking...but I feel like the video should have paused at some point and their t-shirts should've battled for t-shirt supremacy!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA     -_- I love Borderlands.

dual snipers...

First thought. Goldeneye cheats.

First Borderlands was boring and monotonous. Got to the Rak hive before giving up on it. Let's hope this one doesn't suck as much.
