    I was very late to the BL1 party but it was absolutely epic! I got the GOTY edition and pmped hours upon hours into the game and then all the DLCs except moxis riot death arena thing, got very boring. Reading that link with the loads of info, BL2 sounds class altogether! I never played the co-op option in BL1, I thought it was perfectly fine in single player. Def gonna pick this up early when it's released, not gonna wait like last time.

    really looking forward to this as i could never actually play through for a 2nd time with the same character. and its pointless playing now as most people who join my session are lvl 60 or so and 3 so far have provided me with a shield with about 23,000,000,000 hit points on it.

    Good to see they're giving the story a bit of attention this time, one of my main problems with the first game was the lack of immersion in the world with the the non-existent story. It made the second play-through a chore knowing there was no real point in progressing other than to level up.

    Never tried the online multilayer but local co-op was great fun, one of the few good local co-op games I've played this generation

    No offence but you havent played the game then.


    its the "thing" that makes it truly awesome, even on PS3 the kid finds everyone willing to play for the objective.

    brilliant game on all platforms.

    I don't think so, i never play co-op for a number of reasons, but the single player was one of the best i've played. Granted, the story wasn't great, but the game itself was brilliant, and without other people playing along side me.

    Agreed. I played all the way through single player twice before I even tried co-op. However I'll be more inclined to do co-op sooner for B2 because it was good craic. :)

    I played through all of the single player first before co-op, almost regretted it because the multiplayer is great craic! Especially when everyone starts arguing about guns and need to dual! No ones bet my brick yet though!

    Thats how you do a trailer. I never played co-op last time but I got the game a year after it was out so didn't want some high level guys knowing the game inside out while I was on a low level. Def gonna try the co-op this time tho. Saying that, it's a brilliant single player game as it is.

    I reckon that even if i never played the first game, that trailer alone would have sold me. September is going to be good!

    Ha; so while the use of dubstep in Far Cry 3's trailer was obnoxious & unnecessary, here it's glorious. Never actually played Borderlands 1 in the end, bar a quick 1/2 spin I got ages ago - but that trailer had me positively excited. Great tempo, just shows the power of good marketing & a perfectly executed pitch / tone

    Though of course now there's no way the final game will live up to the potential and excitement generated by the video :)

    I'd normally agree with this, but for Borderlands 2 i'll happily make an exception :)

    The original was one of if not the best game of this generation for me. Left 4 Dead 1 and some others being tied for number 1 really. Me and 2 mates got it on launch and just immersed ourselves in it for hours on end each night. We only played when we were all online and I have to say I couldn't imagine borderlands single player. The enemies scale with the amount of players and your playthrough number so it made it extremely interesting.

    I picked Mordecai in the first one as my main character who I got to 61 and did all the content with first. But from the trailer for 2 I'm not sure who I will pick. Zero seemingly is the new hunter but I'm not too pushed if he's heavily melee based. I may have to switch to soldier, I liked the class in the first one but I didn't really like Roland. Lilith was probably the strongest character of the first game when fully spec'd so it will be interesting to see how that plays out with the classes this time.

    Handsome Jack is going to get his ass beat come September. :)

    I wouldn't call B1 "groundbreaking" or "the best game of this generation" but it was a pretty good and very solid FPS. Shooting men in the face just felt very satisfying... and how many FPSs can you say that about these days? So I'm looking forward to the sequel

    Fair play to Gearbox. That's a pretty impressive list of pc features.

    Love their humour as well.

    <cynical hat>That feature list is what I would consider standard on PC games (certainly on PC games 5-6 years ago), so fair play on the positivity on marketing it well, but every PC FPS game should have those features as standard.</cynical hat>
