I plan on buying this for PS3. Dont know if Ill like it. I liked the first game for a while but then cel-shadedness put me off. I wish they'd done away with the cel-shadedness for the sequel ...


May the NFOrce be with you always.

cell shared the best cheappy technice to hide the fact you are seeing low polygon models , you can only blame consoles for that this game has this comic book look , they first was advertised as a real gritty post apocaliptic rpg a pc exlusive .. but when valve got the wiff of MS ass money they when mental and made it a comic themed game that fitted the console audience , the same was done with Id RAGE , when Bethesda said this game should be on consoles too [from one whole game in a gigantic wasteland they split those into two small deserts ... too back they had troubles with optimizing FPS 60 on consoles so they only finished only half of this game ...desert nr 1 ... the second half aka desert nr 2 was made into a sequel... but the sales where so low we don't know if they will make it ... poor poor Carmack Id should have made this AGAIN A PC ONLY GAME ]

Like it was said before Borderlands was advertised as a hard core 4 co-op RPG based on the MADMAX Theme



when consoles touched it ...this game BECAME SHIT


it became a brain dead FPS for the console masses with comic book graphics ...

Actually, that's completely not true and been confirmed so many times over the years (i.e. here. And, it's not cell shaded, or not true cell shading. It's called 'concept art' and it's a method of rendering cell shaded models in 3D.

The game world is particularly bland and to think that it wouldn't render in glorious HD is naive at best. Take something like Skyrim; open world and highly details. If it were an issue with consoles then I'd actually be pointing the finger at the devs and their chosen middleware.

The decision to go concept art was a design choice rather than a tech choice.

I still remember when the original didn't have that silly cel-shading and was a proper single player story-based game. It looked so good. Sad

That's not to say cel-shading is bad when used properly (like the XIII game and Prince of Persia), but here it's just boring. Mainly because the games are boring.

The story is OK, starts off slow, and judging by the achievements the main story is long enough Smile The atmosphere is very similar to the first one, this time in a different scenery from the start tho.

Do you plan to play it alone? if so then yeah, don't bother with the game.
These titles are meant to be played in coop

For me first game was anything, but boring. Then again i playing it on xbox live with few friends.

CGI trailer.... The gameplay one doesn't look any better than ''console'' Borderlands. I prefer the look of the final version. Smile)

i dont get all the hype for this, the 1st game was one the blandest things i have experienced, it was the gaming equivalent of eating plain rice.

maybe i ll check it out, but for now i ll just wait and see how everyone feels about it.

first game was fun in coop, terrible in single player. this one seems to follow the same pattern, except this time it doesn't feel fresh any more, instead it feels like a DLC expansion for B1.

I've not tried COOP but the single player is particularly dull. I keep wanting to like this game but regardless, it just doesn't do anything for me.

Felt the same way about the first one as well.

Press the weapon swap button and you'll automatically have the correct weapon, that or go into the inventory and choose it.

Wait, what? Valve = Gearbox?

Wow never seen those 'old' Borderlands videos. The non-celshaded visuals do appeal to me. You'd think the cel-shaded was just a filter that could be enabled/disabled from the options menu ... ah well.
