Borderlands 2 trailer visits the mighty jungle
Gearbox sent us a new trailer for Borderlands 2 featuring a jungle setting, new monsters and enemies and ... singing?
It's not hard to get excited about Borderlands 2, but the new trailer Gearbox has released showing off a new jungle environment and beasties will have you singing its praises even more, with emphasis on singing.
The choice of The Lion Sleeps Tonight for this action-packed video works much better than the last trailer's dubstep, but now I can't get the stupid song (or the wacky images) out of my head. It looks like the trailer accomplished it purpose.

I love this trailer too!
But for everyone reading this far I have PLAYED the original borderlands and if you're excited about this on the strength of the original, then you're nuts.
It was cool, quirky but boring and repititive. And I know many who feel the same.
And I have NEVER played a good gearbox (the publisher) game.
So don't believe the hype. Wait for the reviews. Or I fear you will be wasting your money.
But damn that trailer was pretty cool. truth be known, they could've made it with the original game, for all the difference did I see.-

That's just, like, your opinion man.
Most call me crazy, but Borderlands is my all-time favorite game. I've sank more time into it than any other game ever. I've played it through no less than six times with four different characters. It's only boring if you let it be boring, like so many other games. There are 'bazillions of guns' for a reason, my brother. -
The strength of the original was shooting things and getting loot. I'm pretty sure this one will deliver just fine. Yes, Gearbox has bizarre blind spots, doesn't do much balancing, ridiculously favors some classes and weapons over others, and makes the shittiest bosses ever. I don't expect any different this go around and I'm sure I will still love the game.

"they could've made it with the original game"
So you are saying if you liked the first one, and this game looks exactly like the first one that you shouldn't waste your money on something you really liked? -
Love Borderlands 1. The DLC definitely helps though. Without the DLC it wouldn't have lasted as long. I've played through on every character except hunter. But now my Hunter is level 20, so I'm on my way.

The game is far from perfect, but it was pretty fucking fun.

-
What? The dubstep song for the launch date trailer was downright perfect!
-
Agreed.
-
To each their own ;)

sHugamom loved this trailer and that's good enough for me!

because 87 bazillion guns

I still play the first one, when I am alone in the office.

It's a loot FPS, what's NOT to like?
-
Everything else about it? It's far too bogged down with stupid quest nonsense, the world was too large given the enemy density (ie, I'd much prefer a smaller total area with much more combat), and the multiplayer in the first was very poorly handled.
If they can correct those issues, I'm totally down for a sequel.
Also, they need to make the first hour or two of the game far less boring. Every time I go to play Borderlands with a fresh character, I end up quitting before I get out of the initial stuff because it's so fucking stilted and boring. I've gotten most of the way through it once, but ever since I can't bring myself to play more than an hour.-
Yeah, I'm staying far back from this as well, but more because I hate Diablo-ish quests, loot mechanics, etc., and I still remember Nick Breckon's description of Borderlands 1 (Idle Thumbs 47, 37:30).

What was poorly handled about multiplater?

Their Gamespy integration was a nightmare in the beginning and they couldn't provide reliable instructions to people on what ports were required in order to make the game playable. That's fixed now in my experience but the game browser stuff is crude and they have bugs in their game (360 and PC) that can bork up your quest log with quests you've never gotten to just because you played with someone far ahead of you in the game.
They made content that could either be too easy or too hard to players depending on their level (e.g. the zombie DLC) so playing with friends could create weird situations where you ended up dominating the battlefield or you are so overclassed you can't do any useful damage to things.
I like how Dead Island offered an option to auto-scale difficulty for each player separately so that way low and high level characters could play together and still be challenged. And it was an option so if you wanted to get power leveled, you could.

Oh you played the PC version lol

i enjoyed the humor, the random gun system, etc in the first one. i look forward to more of it.

I hope they have a pic of a console controller so that Windows users can click on the console buttons instead of the actual gui elements.

... what?

Sarcasm.
