The review says this is better in almost every way to the first game, then they give it the same score as BL1. It also says the pc version is much better than the console version and gives all 3 the same score. I haven't played the console versions but no way is the pc version of this game an 8.5. What were you thinking GS?

Picked up Borderlands 2 a few days ago bc I heard the first one was a lot of fun and wanted something different to keep me occupied till AC3.  Let's just say, this game is awesome! I'm not even a huge fan of first person shooters, but I'll play this for a long time.

Their quests and level design is lacking. Other than that, it's a sweet game.

Thumbler76 127 pts

hmmmmhhh... Am I the only one finding some maps relative to specific quests too much linear and some quests that ask to return in different times in the very same maps??

If you like this game for the art style then you must get it on pc. I have it on pc and ps3, and the difference is so great. Even if your computer sucks, the world still looks better on low settings than it does on console, though ultra on everything is where its at :) Most successfully optimised PC game I have ever seen, and thats saying something

low score.... must I remind you Batman Arkham City is also very repetitive and still got a 9 or smth? Borderlands is repetitive but extremely exciting and addictive. Long and hilarious....  This is a 9.0 game, no matter what.

 arruu2000 Given that there is still issues with the interface especially in the co-op couch mode it seems a fair score.

arruu2000 19 pts

 Runock but that is, i guess, a bug that will be solved soon... but the official score is smth permanent.

Is this a professional review?! More like professional corporate chill work if you ask me.

I thought it was a cool review.

rezabrando 6 pts

 ElfShotTheFood Cool review? It wasn't even a review. Not even a preview! The guy absolutely didn't give any info about the game. All he said, I knew myself. He was just shouting "OH, MY GOD, KOOL GUNS, GUNS, GUNS..." Just like a two years old kid. He didn't talked about the game's flaws or anything. Why he gave it 8.5? How good is the story? How are the mechanics? How controls feel? Nothings. Is there any innovation in it, if not, why the hell he is so freaking happy about?

 

God, game reviewer these days don't know nothing about what makes a good game.

 

*sigh*

PZcolo 7 pts

 rezabrando  ElfShotTheFood Agree on some points but that's going a bit to far mate, I think he took to much for granted the viewer played Borderlands 1.

artyom570568 36 pts

 rezabrando  ElfShotTheFood if you want an "extensive review" see angry joe on youtube, that guy does a half hour reviews on everything. i personally like "the first impression" reviews better. they are more honest. And i have played Borderlands 2 for a while now...the review is 100% correct.

Kickable 144 pts

 rezabrando  ElfShotTheFood the review started with "it takes everything you had in Borderlands and did it better" then repeated almost the same thing at the end making it sound like a minor flaw.  that tells you about the mechanics, controls, innovation.  the rest of the review summed the other aspects up just fine except the story.  I don't want to know details about the story, he said the world feels more "alive" a lot more than part 1, that's good enough.

 

no one's forcing you to rely on only Gamespot's review, stop whining and supplement it with other sites

 artyom570568  ElfShotTheFood Hey there. Just wanted to say thanks for your help. First impression review available in the youtube was great. :)

rezabrando 6 pts

 Kickable  ElfShotTheFood You have your opinion and please let me have mine. Also this is a goddamn public comment section. I'll comment whenever and wherever I want.

 

Good day.

Kickable 144 pts

 rezabrando  ElfShotTheFood that's cool I wouldn't have forums any other way.  the 'stop whining' on my part was unecessary, understandable if you think i'm trying to belittle your opinion I promise i'm not though.  but your first post actually looks like you are doing that very thing to him and other reviewers these days should you really be surprised if I really did believe your opinion is invalid?

rezabrando 6 pts

 Kickable  ElfShotTheFood Fair enough. I just expected a little more thorough review than this from a professional site. And you're right about the first comment, I shouldn't have present my opinion is such manner.

Kickblade, unless you are actually assuming everyone played borderlands 1 then you are being a troll. I think his last comment went a bit far but was pretty accurate, even though I did enjoy the review. This isn't your site please don't speak for us all and tell someone to leave. 

Kickable 144 pts

 Bleach2X1  rezabrando  Kickable if I was assuming that it's just stupidity, but I wasn't.  I only meant my comment to be directed at people who played part 1, I'm relying on the people who haven't played it to disregard any of what I said because they know it doesn't apply to them.  that 1 particular thing the reviewer said is not adequate for those people.

 

I didn't tell him to leave, I suggested to read other reviews in addition to Gamespot.  I wouldn't tell anyone to GTFO and expect them to obey me anyway, they shouldn't
