Day 1.

Teal · Post by **Teal** » Sat Sep 08, 2012 2:28 pm

I have it preordered.

Never tried the first one but I'm planning on getting this one and am looking forward to it. I hope I can get some time together with you guys online, but with my zany schedule, who knows?

I've got it preordered. Played a ton of the first one. Went to the Borderlands 2 party last week at PAX, although that just ended up being an open bar and a bunch of trailers running on the bar TVs. The lines to play it on the show floor were full all weekend long. It was easily the most popular game there. From what I've seen it's a lot like the first one but with more story and more ways to make your character look and play unique. The developer said that the "quick" playthrough that the Bradygames guide writer did to see just the main story took about 60 hours. And that was with skipping all of the side quests and no exploration. Should eat up a lot of time. I'm planning my first playthrough as Zero, the ninja looking dude.

They have the skill trees available to experiment with on the web site:

You can switch characters at the bottom of the screen.

I've got it pre-ordered. Only 10 more days.

Just got my Amazon notification that it's on the way. Looking forward to some co-op!

I have no idea what it is, but the commercial makes it look good.

It's basically a Diablo-style Loot fest wrapped in a First Person Co-Op Shooter.

You shoot, you kill, enemies explode into piles of loot, and you go grab everything like a kid on XMas morning.

Wash, rinse, repeat.

Trust me, the experience is much cooler than it sounds

Never played the first, but I'm intrigued. Pre-ordered via Amazon. LOL.

I hope so...I have it on order and I think it looks really cool - but I continue to have doubts on whether the actual formula is something that will interest me.

One of my favorite games of all time, the original.. but I'm going to have to wait a bit so I can finish a few other games I haven't had time to play yet.

I am reading good reviews. I think I will be getting it, even though this is the time of the year my games collection start jamming up.

Got it this morning.
The game is more popular than I thought. About a dozen in line this morning and the clerk told me they had 100 in store last night for the midnight release.

Still waiting for UPS...dammit.

RobVarak · Post by **RobVarak** » Tue Sep 18, 2012 3:20 pm

Got it.

Never really cottoned to the first one until I played it multiplayer, but I'm going to give this a shot anyhow.

TCrouch · Post by **TCrouch** » Tue Sep 18, 2012 3:59 pm

Got the Vault Hunter's Edition (had no idea they had one of those until my wife brought it home) and played...well, about 2 minutes of it.

Trying out a new game with a granddaughter screaming in my ear, my wife and mother babbling about something back and forth, and trying to experience the story and let the tone set in--not a good idea.

I'll give it another whirl after work.

I'm hopeful we can conjure up some time for MP so as to make the game very fun. That's what I'm in for.

My hours are beyond f*cked lately but I'd love to play when I can.

I got it for the PC so if anyone is playing there let me know.

I also have a copy of Torchlight to give away on Steam. I don't know anyone who does have the game but I got a copy for pre-ordering TL2 so if you want it shoot me a PM

Pete1210 · Post by **Pete1210** » Tue Sep 18, 2012 4:34 pm

Was off today, so I got to play about 3 hours with my son. We both didn't want to stop. If you like shooting stuff with a "bazillion" different types of guns, this game is for you. I

Claptrap.
