For the Love of god plz don't use GameSpy.

Considering Borderlands eventually used Steamworks for achievements, it seems very likely they will use Steamworks for multiplayer as well for Borderlands 2.

Anyway, I'm really looking forward to this. I just hope Gearbox adds crafting and/or gun customization since that was the one major thing missing from Borderlands.

Meh..when a game "looks" exactly as the first one i get the feeling its just a $60 expansion pack (hello fallout NV )... well i guess re use all assets is a quick cashcow.

I honestly didnt get Borderlands, I played it for a pretty long time and I felt pretty bored. The draw was supposed to be all the games? Except theres variation between them is boring and not creative.

Gun that shoots firebullets, then gun that shoots fire bullets a little faster. Ice bullets. etc


the draw was that it was Diablo as a first person shooter which it was and that's why I loved it. the millions of guns thing was for marketing.

Just for the Record: there is no Ice Bullets in Borderlands.

It works the same way as the berserker's fists, so don't worry about it.

So Aliens: Colonial Marines, Brothers in Arms: Furious 4 and Borderlands 2 all slated for a 2012 release? I guess Gearbox consists of 87 bazillion employees and a bitch ain't one. I had loads of fun with Borderlands, but it wasn't exactly the pinnacle of fine-tuned game design.

To be fair; they still have a Patrick-written article taking up the ENTIRE home page, and then some original video content, and then this in a video feed.

I played it for 30 hours before reaching that conclusion too. The loot was the hook that kept me entertained, but it was ultimately a very boring game with very little thought required. (makes sense to me that Jeff liked it so much)

Yes, I thought so too. Fortunately I have four real life friends to play with which makes up for the boring weapons.

I'm not really sure why they bother with these kind of stupidly short and content empty videos.

That said, I wish the art style would have gotten a bit of a revamp, still doesn't look very good to me.

Whatevs, I'm buying it.

If you didn't like Borderlands you need to quit gaming, seriously. Frankly, it's better than most of the trash released the last year or so of any genre.

Why is everybody forgetting what a teaser is supposed to be? A new class, new weapons, dual wielding and giant robots. Bam.

Well, that's kind of a dumb obvious thing to say. Teasers are never really that good anyway, for any game.

An age gate for that? ROFL

You would have to be an idiot to purchase this game day 1. Borderlands had 40$ worth of DLC, 2 of them came with the malicious SONY SECUrom messing up people's computers and all for a shallow herp-derp fest of horrible cell-shaded art, non-existent story, and childish humor.

I wonder if this means there is dual wielding or if it's just something to make the teaser look cool.
