Borderlands 2 gameplay

Looks good, especially how unique the weapons should be now.

RPS's preview

Awesome footage. This game is going to be amazing.

Also, that guy had no idea what he was talking about. Either that or he was really really nervous.

I love RPS. Such a great blog.

right off the bat, the guns look quite different, and I'm not a fan. I liked the Borderlands guns, and I have a feeling that aesthetic changes qould be negative for me.

However, the new element sounds great, and I'm liking the melee boosts (bayonets) on other weapons besides revolvers.

the siren's powers are nuts, look really good.

love the new multiplayer changes.

new mobs look great.

liking the gunzerker's view. I was worried as to how the new characters would play, but his viewpoint and the katana for Zer0 both look awesome.

How could you prefer the gun design of 1 over 2? Yeah, I guess it's all opinion, but the BL1 guns were so piecemeal and hack job looking. There wasn't even any variation between manufacturers besides coloring.

Also, shotguns and repeater pistols could have melee attachments in BL1, too.

I believe they didn't because the sights do not actually work right now.

They do. There's some leaked footage from a while ago that has some ADSing.

it looks really cool man

This game is gonna be great.

My opinion is that the BL1 guns looked less bulky and more like something you'd find in a cowboy-esque space environment. The new guns look like the designers just took a "bigger is better" policy and made everything huge.

Forgot about the repeater pistols, but I've never come across a shotgun with a melee attachment.

The melee part on shotguns was attached to the grip.

Scroll down to accessories and you'll see it.



Also, I don't understand your reasoning here at all. You'd rather have 9 manufacturers whose guns all look like the same; dirty, poorly built, and poorly maintained? No thanks. I'd rather have some variety. Want a "tacticool" modern weapon? Pick up a Dahl. Want a more wild west feel? Try a Jakobs. If you want that downtrodden BL1 aesthetic, grab a gun from the new Bandit manufacturer.

The change in weapon design is good. I see no merits to BL1's design over BL2.

Did they make it 3rd person yet?

There's a mod on PC that lets you play in 3rd person.



Edit: For BL1, obviously.

Damn PC's

for the third time this week, this is my own goddamn opinion ante. I like the guns in BL1, this preview made me not like the guns in BL2. End of story, my own opinion.

Whatever you say, man.
