>inb4 online versus multiplayer with 16 players confirmed

Played start to finish with 3 other friends in the co-op. I gotta say, although I can see why people would have the game in single player, the game is pretty fun in co-op. Just gotta make sure your friends aren't jews.

I really disliked the first one. The world felt dead and soulless, the quests sucked and the gameplay was boring and repetitive. And that fucking robot, it's like they were really desperate to create a memorable character (well, they kind of succeeded at that though, ironically). The only thing I liked was the visual style.

THAT MAKE BOOBS GO WOBWOB

I could imagine we´re gonna see lots of "96.5% more WUBWUB" on /vg/ over the next month

Woah Maya's skills are out? FUCK YES. I'm definitely using Siren again in this game. Maybe I'll check out Zero too. He seems to have some of the old Siren moves.

>>474998
>Not playing Zero or a Walking Sentry Bro
You are the mage that is killing this art.

I can't wait.
Shits going to be fun.

But I do wish they have weapon customization this time round. Sure the bazillion random combinations is fun, but maybe have stock weapons where you can find random attachments for it. Like in the first one where you could get class mods.

>September

Fuck. That. Shit.

>Borderlands 2

More like viral lands 2. No, no thank you, take that shit away.

Yay I cannot wait for Borderlands 2™! The greatest next gen game this year! I will not forget to pre-order this game whenever it is available to me.

Wait. So Maya has Rezurrection?
AWESOME. I hated the fact that the only one with a Rez was the soldier.

>>476275
It seems like her trees are about crowd control and healing.

No screenshots of the Catastrophe tree though, I hope she gets some damage like Lilith did.

>>476453
Hum, I dont know what I'm going to play as.
Either Zero or the Soldier Aisxon. I played as a Sniper most of Borderland so...

>>477291
Why would you play bad games?
Just go play good games....

I'm doing a frame by frame analysis as we speak.

I hear you get to play as this guy

>>479568

Wait, fuck.

Well the dubstep seems horrifying but the LOADED OUT GUNS EVERYWHERE seems kind of cool. Especially soldier 2.0 guy.

>Borderlands
>But with better animations.

Surprisingly okay with this.

I fucking loved the first game, really fun to play if you have people to play with that is.
But I feeled like my experience was held back by using the worthless piece of shit they call soldier, I guess he is decent at supporting, but got shit damage output compared to all the other ones.

What an awful trailer.

Totally turned me off the game.

>>479654
I don't know, it seems to fit the balls-out style of Borderlands fairly well.

>>479654
Well since the first game had no Dubstep...

>>480203
It sort of had you know.

>>480276
Moxxi had the closest thing to Dubstep.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VxaqcsLPL9I

>>480325
In my eyes that's dubstep, but I guess that's an opinon.
I've never had anything against dubstep really, so it doesn't bother me.

>>480504
Or closer said, in my ears.

>>480504
Moxxi is Techno.
Dubstepo is characteristically recognizable by its sudden noise and break out without any "melody" per say.

This is Dub Step

This is not

>>480790
Fair enough, I can't argue with that, as I don't really listen to something and think what genre it is, more if it sounds good to me, and therefore I don't know enough to be able to argue.

I hope they do something more with Vehicules. Maybe like a Motocycle or a semi flying one. Would be awesome.

>>483029
I'm a security guard in a Hospital in Quebec. And I happen to like video games and to like Borderland.

Deal with it. Also, stop being a children and spam things you dont like. Just change of thread and go talk of stuff you like.

The new weapons look interesting, I like the look of the new soldier over Roland.

Still wish Gearbox would remake some of their Opposing Forces weapons.

>>483581
Oh its true. Gearbox did the DLC/Expension pack for HL1.

Well if you preorder you get that. Dont know if this game have Rune system but its still cool.
Also strangely there is keys...
I hope it does not become Keyforteress 2

>>483403
You've got to understand that a lot of people on /v/ took the whole viral thing seriously and feel they have to go on the offensive now, to defend 4chan from the invaders.

For all this time I thought /x/ was the board that made up bogeymen and alien invasions to scare themselves.

borderlands got boring really quickly

>>483718
Here the key thing description and other items

>>483734
Kids who grow up on 4chan think that 4chan is like there friends and pick up bad things from growing here. They believe what people say and act like them to get accepted.
Its kinda sad sometimes when a good game cant be talked about because of idiots spamming LOL VIRAL all over a thread.

>>483718
>Gearbox did the DLC/Expension pack for HL1.
>DLC
>HL1
Times were much simpler back then, there wasn't such things as DLC or horse armor or hats or crate keys.
>Also strangely there is keys...
Key probably just gets you into some box that spawns the other shit.

>>483862
>Kids who grow up on 4chan think that 4chan is like there friends and pick up bad things from growing here. They believe what people say and act like them to get accepted.
All the fucking brony rubbish started as a joke, look at it now. Grown men watching something for little girls.

Can you play as the old characters as well? Or is it just the new guys.

>>483775
Borderland is one of the only game that I played through 5-6 time. The others are being Super Mario World, Super Mario 64, Ocarina of Time, Goldeneye and Perfect Dark.

Sure the story was dull, but the drop alone made it fun for me.

>>483968
Half life 1 got three Expansion pack:
Half-Life: Opposing Force, Half-Life: Blue Shift, and Half-Life: Decay.

2 of those expansion(Blue Shift and Opposing Forces) sold for full price, and contained less stuff than the original game while reusing most of the stuff from HL1.

Take Hellfire for example, it was maybe 6 more mission, with 8 more level and a couple of new item with a new class and 2 mostly bugged one.
For 40$.
I prefer DLC for stuff like those.

>>484126
All 4 old vaults hunters will be NPC's who will help you. Lilith is like ANGEL from the first game, while Mordecai give you quests and the Soldier is kidnapped.

You have 4 new characters to play as only.

You know, these guys really need to stop pushing that whole GAJILLION OF WEAPONS shit.

90% of those are recolors.
Heck, sometimes they're not even recolors. They just have few words added to the names and plus/minus a few stat points.

>>480076
>>480076

I played Brick for my first true playthrough.

Absolute rape-o-clock playthrough 1

Make Mordecai.

>TRESSPASS HOLY SHIT YOU FUCKING ERIDIANS HAVE SHIT ON THIS.

Borderlands 2

>Siren's healing tree looks broken.
>Implying her damage skills won't be moreso.

OH, AND AS PER THE LAST ONE

MELEE CLASS SUCKS. UNLESS ZERO DOES 80 TIMES THE DAMAGE OF A MAX LEVEL SIREN'S ELEMENTAL SMG BULLET SPRAY FROM THE LAST GAME, ZERO IS A TRAP FOR THOSE EDGY 12 YEAR OLDS WHO WANT OT BE NEENJA NOORATOO.

>Max Gunzerker
>Max Siren

>Soldier will suck, as he did last game. Sentry was useless. Support good, but Siren keeping people healed and alive + the game's tendancy if staying freom the last one to spam ammunition at everyone = pointless soldier.

>Lol melee class.

>>484675
In fact there IS all those guns, well its 17,750,000 different gun.
Its all the possible outcome of the randomiser. Put this mod there, this there and this there. There is different part to a gun. Each part give some stats to the gun.
You have 8-10 type of Sight by example.
They added alot of new parts + now the manufacturer will change alot more stuff and will give you more stat if you use more items from the same company.

>>484995
The sentry of the new soldier will be a lot more customizable, and will change of apparence by the stuff you chose in your talent tree.

And Zero is the Melee/Sniper guy. So he will have the Sniper talents and the Decoy talents.

>>485012
>clip

>>484995
Zero is probably going to have an equivalent skill for Tresspass since he's the Hunter for the game.

Also sentries were fucking useful as meat shields and providing additional elemental shit.

>>485180
Here are the parts. I dont know why the guy used Clip when its Barrel but oh well.
http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Gun_Component_Charts

>>485012
>Put this mod there, this there and this there. There is different part to a gun.

Too bad that doesn't mean shit.

I would appreciate it if the dev's put more time into creating more truly unique weapons.

>>485012
I hope they allow customization like scope swapping.

Pissed me off so much to get a two shot masher that was scopeless.

>>485335
A lot of the rare guns were nothing like the standard ones. Also that leaked video from fucking months back did show some interesting new gun mechanics.

>>485335
Oh but there was alot of unique weapons in Borderland 1.
Here are all the special effects from the guns.
http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Special_Weapon_Effects

>>485336
Meh, the whole fun of the game is that you CANT create your own gun. You find a gun that is okay then switch for the more comfortable one. If you could create your own gun, everybody would make Hellfire snipers.
Like Modders did in Borderland 1

>>485531
I don't want to create the gun per se, just be able to do very minor tweaks to it.

>>485204

>Have to get in melee range
>Bullshit like Crawmerax (however the pronouncing/spelling) where a Siren can dance on one leg and shoot it from afar not luring it out and making the fight more annoying / solo it in 2 minutes or less.

Nay.

>>485660
Siren could just beat Crawmerax by stealthing behind it.

>>485660
Like I already said. Zero is the SNIPER of Borderland 2. If you dont like Melee you can still simply Decoy out of situation while Sniping guys from top of building.

Like my Mordecai, he was the Sniper but I used him as a Gunslinger.

>Still only 1 active skill for each class

Wow, it's almost like gearbox completely ignored one of the biggest complaints from the first game.

i wish there was something where you could upgrade the gun and make it more powerful, i hated swapping a gun i liked for another one.

>>484675
>>484675

They aren't now.

Before, every weapon of a class pulled 8 (9 for repeaters) parts from around 5 varients per type, though accessory had up to 15.

The issue was, 2 of those part types (grip and material, aka color), were manufacterer sepfic.

Now, each manufacterer will have it's own set of parts.

IE:

Before:

7 weapon types (not including legendary/alien)

Each weapon is composed of 7 (8) parts.

Each part can be 1 of 5 (on average).

-------------------------------------

In bl2, there's at least 7x the amount of parts, because before, where there were only 5 assault rifle barrales in the whole game, each manufacturer alone will have 5 different assault rifle barrels, if not more.

>Borderlands 2 confirmed 0 mashers.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

PREORDER CANCELLED.

DO YOU KNOW HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO GET A MASHER IN THE FIRST GAME?

6 FUCKING HOURS. AND IT WAS TERRIBLE.

BUT BY GOD WHEN THE FARMORY COUGHED ONE UP IT WAS MY GO TO RAPE GUN

>>486139
Where did it say no mashers?

the acid pistols are the best

>>485750
>Zero is the SNIPER of Borderland 2

Someone a few months back leaked the rest of the characters along with their skill sets. Zero is more based on close ranged weapons like SMGs, Shotguns, and Pistols. I believe the Siren was more built for Sniping then Zero was.

>>485750

>Like I already said. Zero is the SNIPER of Borderland 2

And you're a tard for thinking that, idiot.

All I'm asking for is to not have to set aside almost every sidequest until I activate level-scaling. I shouldn't have to ignore 80% of the content to make the last 20% even a slight challenge.

And maybe some difficulty levels in general.

>>486872
Well the guys from Borderland said to IGN that Zero was the Sniper. Also the new Siren is a Healer.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuauMecbRL4

>>487079
>>487079
>>487079

He's right, though.

Some intresting things I noticed from the frame by frame.

Will upload once I get it compressed.

>>487159
Have you noticed the Zero :) emoticon hologram?

>>487108

He has Sniping skills, but their outnumbered by Shotgun and SMG skills. His ability is also the same as Phasewalking, so I wouldn't be surprised if he could be built up in a similar fashion to Lilith from the first game.

>>487270
Do you have ANY source on that? Because from what I know characters from Borderland 2 are builted so that no Character is limited to ONE type of weapon. They removed the idea of Shotgun bonus ect. There is some left but its minor.

>those beautifully, bloody gibs at 1:43

>>487373

I sadly don't have a screencap of the thread, but basically we had someone who had played with the game leak us the characters and their skill sets. I didn't really take it seriously until I saw that both the Solider Class and Hunter Class fit the description perfect (Name, looks, everything.) Zero is capable of using Snipers since he has the skills to use them, but he basically went on about the SMG and Shotgun skills he had. Which wouldn't surprise me since he's a close range character.

Here's the Zero :) emoticon.

>>487793
Even if that's true, you said that its from a thread from a few months old.
The game will go gold maybe in August or July. There will and have been alot of change in the game.

>>487845
:) It look pretty cool.
Love the humor of this game.

>saging on /vg/
>ha
I am fucking wet for this shit. I got the GOTY of BL and was hooked like a crack baby. I hope i don't see a million Zeros online though.

>>490357
I'm torn between Zero and Gunzerker personally.
I absolutely loved Mordecai, so I'm hoping he plays somewhat similar to him. Dat Gunslinger tree.

>>490442
I did Mordecai first on bl and he's definitely my favorite. The main reason I don't want co-op to full of Zero is cause I wanna use him.

But I could break me off a piece of dat Axton

>>490564
Axton is looking good to me, I get the feeling it'll be toned down from Roland's infinite ammo all the fucking time though.

>>490564

I have a feeling people are gonna jump on the Zero bandwagon but they'll realize he has the same survivability as Mordecai did (Which was quite good if you knew how to use him, but lack of Shield Regen skills hurt bad.) So they'll switch back over to Maya.

>>490564
I just hope they keep all of the classes relatively close in terms of damage output. Maybe this is just me, but Lilith's seemed too high compared to the other 3.
>>490696
Definitely. In the IGN video they mentioned how the turret can be set up to do different things. I'd like to hear more about that.

>>490730
The health regen on killing blow thing, right?
That was crazy strong when you knew how to do it.
Is there confirmation that there will be no mashers/masher-type weapons in this game though?

>>490763

Lilith had one of the lower Damage Outputs in the entire game. Mordecai had the highest along with Brick. She has just so damn good because her skills made her so stupidly durable and flexible.

Lilith was OP as FUCK. I mean everyone was a little by the end (a good thing) but Lilith man, like a fun black hole for 3 people.

>>490839
>flexible
>running into a group of enemies and pressing Y
>flexible

>>490838

The ability in general was so random, sometimes it was 18% or 2% health regen. Overall though if he ran a Gunslinger or Gunfigher mod he just wreaked everyone's shit before they could get a shot off.

>>490839
>Lilith
>Low damage outputs
>Double Anarchy
>ALL THE DOTS EVER

Aside from the IGN video in this thread, any confirmation that Zero is the sniper?

>>491405

Still gets beat by Gunfighter Mordecari with a Unforgiven Masher and Brick using an Ajax Ogre with a Blastmaster mod in terms of sheer damage. However all of these weapons quickly kill their target.

>Make a bet with one of my friends to see who will get a Pearlescent first
>Farm off and on for a few days, Knoxx runs, Crawmerax
>Open a chest in the armory
>AW SHIT, A PEARLESCE-
>the Rocket Launcher

Also, two days later he got the pearl launcher too.

Also, gonna be avoiding this game like the plague until I know the netplay isn't shit.

>>490838
>Is there confirmation that there will be no mashers/masher-type weapons in this game though?
I think somebody is just assuming this for some reason. I doubt they'd take out a popular weapon effect.

>>487079
Not that guy, but Zer0 has actually been confirmed as the sniper by Gearbox.

>>491923
Amen to that, I can remember the first one on launch, shit was as buggy as moxxy's drawers.

the only thing I didn't find exciting about the new trailer is Axton. He looks generic and whitebread as shit. Maya and Salvador look pretty neat and interesting, and Zero looks neat even if he'll probably end up being just a mash of cliches.

what I think of when I hear wub wub

>a dubstep song in a trailer
>that was already in another trailer (Armored core)
>epic

pls go

>>496268

they're doing that to poke fun at all the games using dubstep

>>474998
This fat hambeast is Skeeter, Scooter's Sister/Moxxi's Daughter. Betcha 50 bucks.

>>496298
they still made me sit through the whole dubstep trailer though, "poking fun" kinda loses its meaning when in the end you still did it

i was sorta hoping they'd drop the "gazillion" guns gag but whatever

Is there any way to make sure I order the GOTY edition with the DLC on disc instead of the one with the download codes.

>>496407
how do you not get that it's just their sense of humor at play? Tongue-in-cheek, over the top. It's just the way they do. It doesn't "lose its meaning" if they commit to doing the joke they way they want to. Are you such a friggen snob that you can't sit through one trailer and laugh at it?
Seriously, if you can't enjoy the humor, you're missing out on half of Borderland's charm.

>>497420
slow down. i appreciate the "wub wub" joke, but it woulda been better delivered earlier on

its a fine joke, but delivered poorly since it takes too long to get to the punch line

>>497420

Jesus, you're a cunt.

what's the song used in the trailer?

>>499198
nero - doomsday

>>474998

>>499272

>>474998

Any news on netcode? I heard they improved BL1 with proto-BL2 netcode, but as I played this on the 360 I haven't had to deal with it in either form. Would prefer to get the PC version when Brolands 2 is out.

Bought the complete pack when it was on sale.
Played it for 10 hours, never touched it again.
Is there actually an active fanbase for Borderlands out there?

>not using this superior image to start your thread

>>542435

Borderlands is one of the best games of this generation.

I'm sorry you have shit taste.

>week before Borderlands 2 comes out
>3/4s of the front page filled with Borderlands 2 generals

the ultimate viral

Borderlands was a good game, but when you reached level cap, the enemies were just too hard. You were actually forced to headshot all your enemies, because it felt like they wouldn't die otherwise.

Also, leveling up was WAY too easy.

I had written it off to the art style before, but I think this guy quite obviously has a mask clamped on to his face. Methinks Handsome Jack is not so handsome in reality.

> Punching in a game about guns
> No melee weapons

The solution is simple. You punch... with bullets.

In a game all about loot, having an exclusive preorder item that boosts your item finding luck is a low blow.

Not that it matters to me though since I'm gonna preorder, but just saiyan.

>>634605
Don't worry, you can buy it in the Super saver dlc extreme dlc pack (pack) for 9.99$

Still buying Borderlands 2?

>>485335
They knew the guns looked a lot like recolours, so they gave every manufacturer a distinct look and perhaps special traits.

You can throw the mags from these guns away as grenades.

Bioshock 2 had that same thing and it just made me breeze through the game no problem.

Actually, I think you throw the whole gun. They're supposed to be so cheap that it costs less to just "buy" a new gun than to buy more ammo and reload it.
