Unskippable: Borderlands 2

"those raiders must be very bored"

Or, y'know, hungry.

Oh, and it was actually the turret guy that survived the initial crash...

And with regards to electric vs moar bullets, I think you'll find corrosive is the one that works best against hyperion bots.

Normally the guys are pretty funny, unfortunately, they're not quite as funny as anything that Handsome Jack says in game.

Now, back to Buttstallion and my mansion made of other, smaller mansions.

Borderlands 2.

It is to the original Borderlands as Diablo 3 is to the first two Diablo games. An inferior product that is only really good enough for the first play through.

THANK YOU. I'm so sick of everyone talking about what a great villain Handsome Jack is when nothing he does makes any sense.

A cartoonish supervillain not making any sense in his actions? Thank God you warned me. That would totally ruin the immersion of a down to earth video game about insane guns, psychic powers, and scads and scads of unobtanium!

Oh, I get the game's crazy tone. But judging from a lot of threads from a few months back (when the game had just been released) a lot of people on this site don't.

People like him because he is charismatic, and has a lot more personality than all the villains in Borderlands 1 (except maybe General Knoxx)... not because he is particularly competent.

Okay that? That scares me a little.

...A lot.

...Someone please hold me.

I always wished Baron Flynt got a little more development in the first game. He was a normal-looking dude that somehow ended up as a badass bandit king.

I watch this cutscene on purpose a lot when I load up the game. I'll just turn it up and dance around my apartment, like it's a music video or something.

It is just an awesome song isn't it?

I can't decide whether I love this one (Short Change Hero) or Borderlands 1 (Ain't No Rest For The Wicked) more!

OT: As per usual, guys, quite enjoyed this one. The fact that there's awesome music in the background just makes it better.

That last quote basically sums up my opinion of gearbox with this game. Great PR poor execution.

Handsome Jack really did help make Borderlands 2 more playable

the description of tentacles and disappointment for the first vault really did sum up the first game for me haha
