[quote name='MSUHitman']Have fun waiting until late 2013 or early 2014. 3rd DLC pack out tomorrow, 4th out in March/April.
Lots of content available for $30 and you know the GotY Edition for this will launch at $50 or $60 so why not get the core game plus season pass now when people are still playing it vs. when everyone is switching to the new XBox system?[/QUOTE]
I certainly will have fun waiting. I have tons of games to play. Games that I find far more enjoyable.
As for the GOTY version coming out too late. It really doesn't matter when it comes out. When it does, it will bring a resurgence of players, enough to where I'll be able to find people to play it with. And then I'll have saved lots of money and be able to experience the game in its entirety.
[quote name='Monsta Mack']If you didn't like Borderlands 1 this won't change your mind much, but as a fan of the original It's hard not to give this a GOTY nod, or at the very worst high recommendations since it does pretty much everything right for a sequel.[/QUOTE]
You've answered your own question. Borderlands was okay... I didn't dislike it... but it wasn't any huge departure from standard FPSs. I'm still waiting for the genre to actually take leaps and bounds with games like Mirror's Edge. All these FPSs feel like they start with a rough copy of CoD and build upon it. It's cool that they're adding some RPG elements... but they're extremely tame in Borderlands. I don't feel like the game is doing anything to innovate in the genre. God the AI was pathetically exploitable, too.
