IGN - Meet Borderlands 2's Gunzerker

IGN - Gearbox's Borderlands was all about shooting things and taking their stuff. It had a story, but it didn't amount to much. Gearbox says it's giving story and character development a lot more attention, but it's also doing a lot to the gameplay. Like the first game, you'll choose to play as one of four character classes. So far we know of two, which includes the Gunzerker.

I'm afraid that this will be a day 1 purchase for me

I might be getting it....but boy do I hope they don't try to "arcade it up".

I'd hate to see Borderlands become more "CoD"ish, which seems to be thing to do these days. Even Battlefield 3 feels more Call of Duty'ish than its predecessors, which is a real shame.

If the RPG mechanics shine through a bit more and loot is a bit more distinct and they characterize the bad guys some more so that they don't feel so retarded and maybe give some life to the environment so they don't come across as stagnant set-pieces (which was probably the game's biggest downfall) then it will be a near pitch-perfect shooting game.

Oh yeah, and maybe make the pistols not feel or look like pea-shooters. I'm sorry but those pea-shooter pistols really pissed me off, and I really love using pistols in FPS games.

I Sure Hope The Next Borderlands Is A Lot Like Borderlands 2

Ahmad from eXputer: "Borderlands 2's unrivaled storytelling is something that has to lean into the core elements of the next iteration in the Borderlands series."

What? You didn't love the cringe writing that 3 had?

pwnmaster300042d ago

Playing it now and it’s not so bad, but I’ve just started so maybe it will get worse

DustMan41d ago

It's not bad. It's just hard to top Handsome Jack as an antagonist. I really enjoyed 3. It has the best gameplay of the entire series, and it holds the same vibe. Tiny Tina's Wonderland was a huge disappointment to me.

I recently finished 3, definitely had fun fr

I'm curious how they are going to do the Siren since they've kind of wrote themselves into a corner regarding the lore.

gold_drake42d ago

well, im sure the last eridium slab is the answer to that. either mystery or villain

-Foxtrot42d ago

I meant more in terms of how they established only 6 Sirens can exist in the entire Universe...which was kind of silly to me as they seem to all end up on Pandora, and the Universe is a pretty big place.

Then there's now the fact, since Borderlands 3 retconed it, when a Siren dies she can transfer her power to the next Siren, they don't have to be born with it. This also means there's only 6 Siren powers which will end up being recycled as the franchise goes on.

Phasewalk (Lilith)
Phaselock (Maya / Ava)
Phasetrance (Amara)
Phaseshift (Angel / Tannis)
Phaseleech (Tyreen)

So there's only one power unaccounted for and I'm guessing it belonged to Commandant Steele. There was Queen Dido but she died and someone else like Amara, Maya or Angel could have gotten their powers so really it only gives them one more Siren before they need to start rethinking things going forward.

Either we get Phaseleech next or whatever power Commandant Steele had (kind of odd she never used it in her boss fight but you know).

inb4 the next siren is a trans character.

gold_drake42d ago

it will probably be alot like wonderlands, since that is the last borderlands game

but we'll see soon

Terry_B41d ago

Most people do. But the people that create the games don't seem to understand that.

I bet it will be even worse than BL3 when it comes to story and character designs.

RaidenBlack41d ago

Hey Gearbox, remember Brothers in Arms?

Abnor_Mal41d ago

I would love a new game in the series, or a remake/remaster of the first three games.

RaidenBlack41d ago

I'd want them to do the 4th part and just end the story of Baker Company.

I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.

dumahim619d ago

No one liked the Batmobile in Arkham Knight. Top 10?

toxic-inferno619d ago

I don't know... It was a strange addition to the game, and the parts of the game where you had to fight in it were tedious. But driving it around Gotham felt brilliant.
