Borderlands 2 Richer game world Customized pc ui and splitscreen support!

Looks like gearbox is really going all out to improving borderlands 2 and realy taking the extra effort to make the pc version the best version. First one looked and ran great on the pc but the ui didn't work well with a m/kb and the low FOV felt caltrophobic. Also with the game being so heavily co-op focused the ommision of splitscreen from the pc version was a let down glad there going to be including it supporting it for the pc in the second game to many devlopers leave it out of the pc when its perfectly capable if not more capable of myhandhling splitscreen then consoles. This along with the exclusive serious sam 3 are 2 big shooters that will have include native 4 player splitscreen support out of the box none of this config editing and typing in commands each time you want to play you hear that valve? Also glad there going to be making the world more varied the first one was pretty bland in that regard with not enough variation to really seperate each area visually.

Yeah they said the same things before the first one's release. Then we get this:

The game is fun, my GF and I are completing the original on Co-op.

However, one thing that they HAVE to improve is that Dynamic shadows crap.. That option made the game chug at some points, it was multiple the performance hit of Ambient Occlusion, and dynamic shadows shouldn't hurt performance like it does in Borderlands. Of course if you turn it off the game looks horrible.

If they fix that, then it should honestly perform at least as good as Borderlands 1, but I expect better!!!!!

Splitscreen? Nice! Wait.... I don't have anyone to play with me *foreveralone.jpg*flipin_jackass

Look me up flipin havent even finished the first one..Ill do the game with ya..Do a lot of coop with some gamespot people on here..

How about real mouse support for the menus this time? Borderlands was the epitome of a sloppy port, at least they remembered to change the reminder text to key bindings and not controller buttons.

The original was a pretty good game but really needs more variety and more of the interesting NPCs.

Borderlands 1 was a blast, and BL2 seems to be much better. I just wish they would focus on having a more interesting loot systen, like Diablo's.

I had a blast playing it with friends for many hours. If they improve it GREAT!

Borderlands PC porting was pretty bad, to the point where it effected the game-play.GeneralShowzer

Is the first one really worht playing? Story line and gameplay wise? My friend had it and he hated that game for some reason everyone else loves it.

bought it when it was on sale on steam but I havn't played it yet.

WOW, I never had a problem with it on that aspect (Though I played Co-op with my GF over LAN not the internet, so I didn't run into that issue)... However, I did have issues with Dynamic Shadows, (most people did) they looked fine, its just it made the game chug at points, even if you have a monster rig.

Other than that it was a fun game, my GF and I still haven't beat it yet, We are in the second big area of the game, guess we should go a head and work on getting it beat before the 2nd comes out, or at least until we buy the second game.

I got the first Borderlands in a Steam sale (actually 2 copies), and I've had a blast playing it, especially co-op with my eldest son. I mean, the game certainly has issues, with very shallow story/quests and a bad mouse-unfriendly UI, but those things aside the gameplay is great, and just a lot of fun. I've sunk over a hundred hours into it, and actually feel bad now that I didn't pay full price for it, because for me it was worth it.

Everything they've showed from Borderlands 2 so far seems good to me, and Gearbox seems open to suggestions to improve the sequel. If they can take the feedback from PC gamers on board, and change the UI and other tweaks, I'll probably be getting two copies of Borderlands 2 soon after release. Unless they really mess it up somehow.
