I was planning on buying Borderlands 2 long before it was announced. I thought there was literally no way they could fuck up the sequel. Seeing the very first gameplay videos only affirmed what I thought the game would look like. It's everything great about the first Borderlands multiplied by 10, with all the negative stuff about the first game subtracted from the equation. Unlike many other sequels this year, which overhaul most game mechanics and replace them with dumbed-down or unfinished ones, Borderlands 2 is simply fixing and improving everything about the first game. The A.I is better, the environments are more varied, there are more enemies, more guns, more quests, more NPCs, more of everything! The only people I can think of that aren't buying it are the ones that simply don't like the Borderlands formula to begin with, which is totally fine.
If you'll go over to the official forums, you'll see there's practically no dissent or outraged fans. There have been no major developer screw ups (unless you count the Girlfriend Mode thing, which is a really stupid thing to get worked up over in a co-op game), no dumbing down to attract the lowest common denominator gamers, and no rushed deadlines. I'm honestly going crazy over all my anticipation for the game. So, who else is planning on buying it?
