Borderlands 2 release date and preorder

[Aikouka]

I also ended up picking up one of those Lilith screen prints off the Gearbox store. It's nicely adorning my living room wall as we speak. :awe: They sold out pretty quickly too for a poster... I have #211/250 and I bought it that night (they went on sale last Friday morning).

Did you have mods installed? For me it was the shader file(s) added for the hub that triggered that. Supposedly you can keep the hub and just remove those files but I forget whether I did that.

Yeah, I've got the Oasis mod installed. I'll have to look into that then!

I wanted one of the posters, but i didn't see they were on sale until it was too late

Do they have a plushie claptrap?

Some new information out of PAX East. I guess the takeaways would be:

- Tons of player skins + heads available (source)
- Probably a new class available as a DLC 60-90 days after release (similar to BL's DLC1). (source)
- Will be two collector's editions. One with a Marcus Bobble Head and another including a weapon cache style case. (source same as above)
- Gamestop will have an exclusive arena style pre-order bonus. (source)

EDIT:

I also won a shirt during the 2K live stream for PAX East! I definitely need some more Borderlands-related swag lying around, so I'll also be getting the super collector's edition!

Yes indeedy. Ill be jumping right on this.

I still consider Borderlands 1 to be the one of the best entertainment per dollar purchase I've ever made. Funny thing is that I bought it on a steam sale and then let it languish in my library for 6 months before I even played it. It totally wasn't the game I was imagining it to be before I actually played it. I had thought my days of sifting through game loot with anything resembling relish were long over.

fired up Borderlands to play with a friend tonight. still soooooo much fun to play! nothing quite like the screams of the baddies burning to a crisp. :twisted:

i missed my Lilith and little claptrap. Can't wait for Borderlands 2!!

 

[n7]

PAX had more glorious BL2 info which makes it sound even better

And a bunch of Civ5: Gods and Kings info, too, w00t

 

[DaveSimmons]

I fired up BL1 to test my new system, and ended up playing the first 10 levels just because it was still so much fun.

As long as I can get another Atlas Ogre 400+ 90+ 12.5+ x4 with a scope.

I enjoy the abruptly cut off dying scream and final exhale sounds

 

[OVerLoRDI]

So much joy! Borderlands 1 was great. It captured the fun multiplayer aspect of Diablo 2 but made it a shooter.

I hope Claptrap dies in a fire and shuts up in this one though.

 

[Anomaly1964]

Really looking forward to this one!

Gotta wait for Steam deals before jumping on this one, I'm not exactly impressed with the first and all the DLCs despite getting all of them for $20. Overall was fun but plagued with consolitis, bad UI/game balance, the billions of weapons do jack shit when 99.9% were terrible.

 

[DaveSimmons]

I've never had a problem with the UI myself, and the mouse + KB support works well for me, but if it's not fun for you then you should find something else that is. I'm not a fan of sports or driving games, so I just ignore them.

the billions of weapons do jack shit when 99.9% were terrible.

It's Diablo with guns so of course 99% of the loot drops are worthless -- it's the 1% that makes them worthwhile. Do you expect to use every rusty dagger or broken shield?

Nowhere near as good as the first trailer, IMO, but still, any new Borderlands 2 stuff is good stuff
