• im looking foward to play this bro :-D

•  Oh look. Frankie learned how to copy and paste.

• I think I did discount the game at first and never bothered with it because I wrote it off as another fps in a flood of shitty fps games.  The cel shading was different, but I'm kinda take or leave it unless it's done well.  Well, it turns out not only were the graphics done well, but the game has a ton of little details and customizable role playing elements.  Now I'm hardly into straight up RPG games. And FPS games can get old fast.  And merging the two is no small feat.  Yet this game did that beautifully.  All those randomized and customized bazillion gun and upgrade combos?   Those were sweet candy for me. I was such a damn scavenger and trader in this game. Plus the game had a damn fine PERSONALITY. It was pretty unique and had some nice tongue in cheek references.  For heaven's sake, you get a "Boomstick" after defeating a boss that's a cross between Bruce Willis and Bruce Campbell. And.. "Is a Claptrap not entitled to the oil of his brow? 'No!' says the man at Hyperion, 'It belongs to his owner'. 'No', says the treasure hunter, 'It belongs splattered on the floor'. But we choose something different. We choose the Robolution!" That little background announcement had me laughing so much, I might have almost gotten killed by thugs. And with characters like the Claptraps, Mad Moxi, Dr Tannis and others, it's got a nice assortment of NPCs to meet.

• I'm gonna say yes.  Yes what?  Yes, get.  I love the original, its an original and fun FPS, and one of my favorite games.  I am eagerly awaiting the sequel for this.  It's got colorful environments, a sense of humor about itself and the world around it, Wizard Claptraps with Polyhedral die (it does happen!), and it is absolutely awesome in multiplayer Co-op. Pele demands sacrifice. =)

•  Viva la robolution!

• You know a game has style when they spend time in the trailer to have one of their characters dance to dubstep for no other reason than because it's completely kickass.

• Damn it...why did I have to get my wife into PC multi-player gaming? It now costs me 2x as much every time a new game comes out, and heaven forbid it be a game where I want the collectors edition.  Cause then I have to buy two to make her happy... Needless to say this will be a Day1 purchase x2. #firstworldproblems

• Troll...deny that!

• I've already got three friends lined up ready to play this. We all loved the first one. I missed it until a friend got it on PS3. I ended up buying it on Steam for PC. I prefer PC for FPS games.  Of course now he's moved out and we all have PS3s, so this is maybe our most anticipated game of the year and we all want to do the four player co-op.  I kinda hope it would have PC / PS3 support.. but that's a pipe dream.  Though I love it so much I'm tempted to buy it for both. Also.. I nearly fell over laughing at the Claptrap raving to teh dubstep.

• I played and enjoyed Borderlands quite a bit but somehow can't bring myself to get excited about the prospect of a new one.

• Honestly, I think your comments are a more accurate portrayal of you, than they are of anyone else.

• Cell shade me intrigued. 

•  When you use the term 'sheep' to describe people who like something, it's pretty fucking obvious you're taking the troll road.

• Um... Lego Batman 2 will completely tide me over- (well for the 1 week I will play it until Im at 100%) Ive never even played Mass Effect-- but still need to kill around 1000. more aliens to get to the 2500 kill bonus.

• I recently bought the GOTY edition from the mentioned sale on Amazon for 7 dollars. Totally worth quadruple that amount.

• This game is original in that it puts rpg elements into a co-op fps experience and presents itself using cel shaded graphics. While individually those things have been done before, no one has put them all together before or better than borderlands. I think you're just angry that all fps games use guns and require you to shoot things, and thus call that the same stuff over and over again. It is the equivalent of complaining about plot in a Jean Claude Van Damme movie.

• Please name one other FPS where you can run up and punch someone's face off, or become invisible, or use a hawk to murder someone, all at once with multiplayer friends. The only other game that has rpg elements to a fps is fallout, which is a completely different game. So please name some games that borderlands is a knockoff off, and explain why.

• Doesn't reek of insecurity and hostility? I think you better read your post again.

• Claptrap doing the robot to dubstep. Life just doesn't get any better.

• IGN has a breakdown on their site.  Not that their opinion counts for half a shit, but they do mention it will have a more cohesive story like DLC for Borderlands.

• Wow, stinks like troll in here.  

• Were you playing mostly solo or multi-player? Cause that might have an impact. When I was trying to run it solo, it was kinda fun, but when I was running the game with three friends over Steam and Skype, it was GLORIOUS.

• "Wrestling isn't real and you're grandmother only tells you..." Ha, seriously? For a douchebag troll trying to come across as some holier-than-thou intellectual, that's a pretty f***ing big grammar error there.

•  Tell me how this game stands out above the rest?  Tell me how this isn't the SAME game with a new shiny coat of paint?  They just keep repacking the same shit over and over and over and over and........... I don't care who likes it, but you can't call it original.  You're just drinking the same formula ad nauseum.  Puttin' sprinkles on shit don't make it a sundae.  It just makes it another average video game.

• Now, now. Lay off him. Puberty can be a rough time for everyone. Hair in new places. New smells. Hormones raging. Burning need to differentiate yourself from the masses, yet recognizing for the first time that there's really no point to anything at all. Ever. It's nuts is what it is.

•  Damn, looks like I really hit a nerve there. Anyway, it's okay to not like the same things I like, but what isn't okay is judging things you know nothing about (or, more likely, pretend to know nothing about so you can get a reaction from people in a comments thread). There is legitimate criticism that can be made about Borderlands, but when you say it's interchangeable with any other FPS, you're either being willfully ignorant or just regular ignorant.

• Don't you have a bridge to get back under? Saying "point proven" doesn't actually make it so, and while you're obviously permitted to toss your feces/opinion around, it would help if there was any actual validity to your brash statements.  

•  My inner monologue, while watching this: "Hey, I guess Dr. Zed wasn't Dr. Ned after all. Holy fuck, a ninja! A flying vehicle, I'd better get to drive that! Was that a shapeshifting car? Proper splitscreen this time, none of that vertical side-by-side bullshit! Is that a Death Star?" I'm pretty excited about this. The first Borderlands had the makings of a great game, but the gray landscapes and mmo-style "kill 10 skags" quests got kind of tedious. If they can improve the environments and missions, Borderlands 2 could be great.

• So you're so simple minded that when someone does not like something you do, they obviously must be trying to start trouble, since everything that you like is universally accepted as gold? What a sad, sheltered life you must lead.   You've made me mad, so now i'm going to tell you something that will shatter your meager existence to it's very core..... Wrestling isn't real and you're grandmother only tells you that you're the most handsome boy in the world to try and make you feel better.

•  Because mine does not reek of the insecurity and hostility that can only come from someone who has built themselves a shallow fragile world were dissenting opinions are considered a threat and recycled games, ideas and entertainment are lapped up because one is not capable of seeing past instant gratification and redundant concepts. That's how.

•  Try harder, troll.

• How is his response any worse than yours?

•  Look at you getting all worked up over a videogame.  It says a lot about you.  I bet you like UFC and Fast and Furious, too, huh?  Yeah, you do.  Point proven by your existence as an obvious stereotype. 

•  I've played the original with and without mods.  $15 on PSN.  It was mediocre at best and just seemed like a knockoff of every other fps.

• <I>96.5% more <B>WubWub</B>!!!!!</I>

• So after viewing this trailer, the only question I'm left with is: How the hell am I going to tide myself over until September?  As apparently the only gamer on the planet who doesn't care about the Mass Effect series, I have no games I'm really looking forward to before this comes out.

• Crazy

• Exactly my point: I'd probably WON'T be done with ME3 until Fall. XD  I ish a sloooooow player. XD

• Psst, not out until the fall!  Plenty of time for several ME3 play throughs.

• Plus, you can get it for like six bucks on Amazon right now. No excuse not to play it.

• Rob, do yourself a favor and pick up the original game and its DLC.  It's fairly cheap now, and if you've got a decent PC, Steam puts it up on sale for $7 or so fairly regularly.  It's a decent game solo, but oh man does it shine when you get co-op going. 

• Oh I want this, so bad. Must go out and pre-order two copies. The first game is the reason why my husband and I have separate PS3's, we refused to share. XD

• While I am all for a new Borderlands, I'd probably be too busy fiddling around with Mass Effect 3 to be bothered with this. Perhaps in June, when it's raining, and there's nothing else fun to do.

• I approve of the way they are so specific with their hyperboles

• Obviously you have not played it, or had no friends to play the first one with.   Borderlands in one of the best co-op games ever made. 

• No, no, let him remain on the sidelines, playing whatever dross he plays, ignorant to the wonders that Gearbox is capable of creating.  He is not one of the flock, nor do we want him.  Enlightenment will never be known to such as he. Besides, he'll just sell all the guns he picks up for the other characters in co-op.  

• I said that too, man... then I played it. And trust me, you want to play it with a friend.

• Hahaha! It's funny, 'cause they're so wrong. That game took what you love about FPS games and made you JOY PUKE YOUR FACE OFF.  It's awesome. 

• Damn Rob... first game is sweet. 2 Player split screen co-op or 4 player online co-op, skill trees and leveling up, and it's one of the few games that I can keep playing no matter how many times I beat it!

• I dare you to play the original, then come back & tell me you honestly believe in that blasphemy you've said.

• Can't wait for this game! And Moxx's back! Woot!

• brb, joy-puking face off

• Another tired ass FPS.  This is common and lacks originality.  It has no shine.  It's not bad, but it looks to be interchangeable with every other FPS game nowadays.  Still, the sheep seem pretty happy with it.

• Absolutely, 100% agree with ALL of your statements.   BORDERLANDS 2 just won my heart. To be fair though, it had me at hello. 

• I am pretty sure they were alluding to the CL4P-TR4P's Unt-ts-ing, but I hope that as well.  I remember the soundtrack from Borderlands to be pretty non-invasive in the first game.  As much as I like the genre, it isn't very conducive to concentration when playing a FPS, IMO.

• My god, it's full of awesome.

• Clearing my calendar, and with luck my wife's and two other friends'.    Damn, I am gonna be in FPS heaven between this and Planetside 2, I am going to be happy for a long time once they hit.

• Isure hope it won't have wubstep in it's soundtrack

• Mmm, Wubwub!

• I would like to second this sentiment.  I LOVED the first game.  I still pop onto it now and again and bang around the wastes.  Very much looking forward to mindless hours of shooting screaming bandits.

• Call me crazy but I couldn't get into the first one. Wasn't anything especially bad. But nothing that made me want to keep playing either. Like the cel shaded look it has so there is that.

• Nero - Doomsday -- perfect track for this game trailer!

• I've played Borderlands more than any game in easily ten years. To say I'm excited would be an understatement.

• You should play the first Borderlands Rob...it's fun has hell. Plus the swag! Oh my God the swag!

• I've said it before, & I'll say it again... <b>F***. AND. YES.</b> The original was probably one of my favorite FPS games of all time, & thus I am extremely psyched for this sequel. Though honestly, they had me a mere 20 seconds in, when they revealed the return of Mordecai. In an apparent supporting role, mind you, but any amount of Mordecai automatically makes anything at least 20% cooler. "So big, so angry, so dead."
