Quick Look: EX: Borderlands 2

More Borderlands has got to be a good thing.

cool :)

morederlands!

Borderlands!

I could not be more excited for this game!

I will never get that quest....

YAY BORDERLANDS!

I luv me som borderlandz!

Wonder if people will be modding weapons like they did in the first one.

Can't wait, have the pre-order ready and waiting.

I don't think I want to watch this. I don't want it ruined. Already feel dirty watching the first 5 minutes.

Pre-ordered and waiting patiently!

Shame its not Randy 'I'M-ALWAYS-WAY-TOO-EXCITED-ABOUT-THINGS' Pitchford.

Sweet I wasn't expecting this vid this week.

Another FPS, hooray..

This guy sounds JUST like Mike Krahulik.

I can;t wait till BL comes out, but don't know if I wan to watch this... ruin it when i get it

preordered this game because i loved the hell outta the first one....and it looks like i want be disappointed

cant wait for this, have been itching for more borderlands !!

I didn't think there would be a quicklook for the game.

More like bored-erlands, am I right?

Why wouldn't there be? It's a pretty big release.

I can never stop thinking about how nice it would look without the black outlining on everything.

Okay, this is going to be an unpopular opinion but I don't like that they made it more colorful than the first game. I liked the palette of Borderlands. This is just a little too much for my tastes.

I'll still play it, of course, because it's going to be awesome regardless.

@mbr2: you could always just mod the PC version

I'd love to have some borderlands, but my friends are not into games, so bye bye co op

Never played the first Borderlands, but I'm so looking forward to this one.

The game is known. They haven't really talked about the game other than saying "It's a better borderlands and if you like the first you'll probably like this."

oh god yes

We hold the world ransom for... One bazillion guns!

This looks surprisingly ugly.

Gearbox probably should have sent someone with a pulse for this EX.

This game is so boring single player, 4 players = 4x more enemys and soldier is such a boring class where is the Brute and his fists of rage.

Can't wait for this to be out.

can't wait!

Good placement of the Play button.

Hated the first Borderlands. This looks like it carries on in earnest all the qualities from the first game that bored me to tears.

Man, this game looks terrible on a console. I hope it will look way better than this on PC.

Got my free copy already loaded in Steam, just waiting for the preload. Nice deal if you need a new GPU and get a 660 or better. Hopefully it looks a little better on PC.

@JerichoBlyth: It's the 360 version. They've been using the PC to demo it in the past.

Thank god they changed the map.

For a guy that's been working on the game for a long time, he sure has very little to say about it.

Ah the EX-curse.... 5 minutes in and I'm bored....

Why the hell would they demo on 360? Heres the worst it can look! BUY OUR GAME

This is why I don't like QLEXes, it just becomes a "developer plays" until after an awkward silence "GB guy" asks a question.

Noticing a trend with @Jeff opting for health regen builds.

"Walk backwards and everything dies"

Thanks for succinctly summing up why I find Borderlands super boring.

Battlefield 2142 has LMGs that got more accurate as you laid down fire as well. If it doesn't already have a concept, I think it qualifies for one now. But what would it be called? Progressive Stabilization?

This looks great, as expected. Not sure if I want this on 360 or PC though; I know it'll look so much nicer on PC but Borderlands just feels like a console game to me.

yeah same here, sadly.

So stoked for this game. Easily my most anticipated release of the year.

So still only one action skill per character, man. Maybe the increased weapon variety helps to break the tedium but I dunno, wonder if it'll be enough after spending so much time with the original.
