    The opening credits are just PERFECT, in my opinion. It felt like something out of a movie. It sets up the mood for the story and game just right. The feeling of openness and anarchy that rule the world of Pandora. Plus, "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked". What a great song to choose.

    I completely agree. A fine mix of humour and style.

    Agreed. I'm glad they didn't try to mash the opening song in anywhere else.

    I totally agree. The intro cutscene was amazing. I've watched it 3 or 4 times now and it's still just plain cool. It's kind of a shame that there aren't more cutscenes though, cuz I'm sure they would have been great.

    It was a little cheesy...but in a very kickass kind of way. It definitely gets you psyched to play some Borderlands.

    That amazing goddamn song has been stuck in my head since launch!  Also, is it bad that when Lilith is walking on the bus, the first words from my mouth were "now THAT is how you make a virtual woman work those hips!"?  LOL

    @End_Boss: I didn't say it was bad...in fact it was awesome. I just think that the whole role call kind of thing with everyone showing off their defining power/characteristic is a little cheesy. Not bad, just a tad cheesy. This game has little things like that all through it though, and it's part of what makes me love it. Just look at the quest titles and achievement names. They're cheesy, pun-laden, and TOTALLY awesome.

    Agree!!! Is there anything bad in this game.  In my 4 hours of playing I can't find anything wrong.  I would buy this anyday before brutal legands in my opion is a huge letdown.

    Yeah splitscreen sucks -- the menu's don't fit on the screen making it the biggest pain in the ass to micro your inventory etc.  Since this is a big part of the game it's just not cool after awhile.  Do yourself a favor and play one player per system!

    You know what else is great in this game? 
     
    Electrocution. 
     
    Other games should be taking notes from Borderlands in making electrocution just as fucking awesome as Gearbox has made it.

    I am honestly shocked to find that people actually like that song. Anytime I hear it, all I can think is that the White Stripes covered a Kid Rock song.

    Slap yourself in the face.  Never.  NEVER mention anything Jack White related in the same sentence as Kid Rock, unless it is along the lines of "Jack White beats the pants off of Kid Rock".  Seriously, I will fight you.
