Pretty awesome news. Really liked the first game, coop was insanely fun. Looks like the September edition of Gameinformer is gonna have a bunch more info on it, may have to pick it up.
Just got finished on GOTY Borderlands (Got it dirt cheap on the Steam sale). Enjoyed it quite a bit, although the story is paper thin. Still, I had enough fun with it that I will definitely look into getting this when it comes out.
Loved the artistic style in the first one and it looks like they've only improved on it in this one. Very much looking forward to getting my hands on this when it comes out. Now i've just gotta work my way through the rest of the first one.
seriously, if you love shooters and is tired of the same fukking war bullshiet shooters and just want pure fun with funny ass humor; GET THIS FUKKING GAME! borderlands and left 4 dead 4 life
I'm playing through Borderlands for the first time right now. Bought it during the Steam summer sale. Some of my impressions:
+ Awesome art-style and visuals. The entire presentation is just great.
+ It makes XP grinding fun.
+ Good shooting/power mechanics.
- Awful awful friggin awful enemy AI. This needs to be fixed. I have some enemies shooting "at me" when I'm in a building and they are behind another wall.
- The quests are totally repetitive but I can sorta see why. This game is far more focused on action than storytelling. The quests themselves aren't important, the XP is.
I've been playing through it quite a bit recently, have a lvl 60 siren, just finished the zombie dlc on the second playthrough.

It definitely gets me interested in the sequel.
Have you got to any of the dlc yet? I found that to be a lot better then the main campaign, minus Mad Moxxi.
