My Borderlands 2 wishlist!

Borderlands 2: the sequal to one of the most coveted co-op games of all time is on the edge of releasing, so I just thought I'd release a list of TINY but BIG improvements I'd like to see.

  • Better reward weapons: One of the few flaws of the revolutionary weapon generator was that most of the quests that rewarded you with weapons gave you something that was pretty weak. Usually by the time I got the reward, what I had was already A LOT better.
  • Give us a reason to play as the underdog: Lets face it, Mordacai (The Sniper) was the underdog in the first Borderlands. Sure he had some great perks, but his "Bloodwing" action skill was heavily outweighed by Lilith's "Phasewalk", Roland's "Scoprio Turret" and Brick's "Berserk".
  • Fast travel stations on DLC: The DLC was terrible with this, especially "The Secret Armory of General Knoxx" where you literally had to drive everywhere (and if your car blew up, run LITERALLY 500 blocks to the nearest "Catch-A-Ride"). Give us a way to get around when we're not in the mood to dodge bullets.
  • Make multiple-target quests less repetitive: In the first Borderlands, they had the waypoints on most rigged to take you all over the place. This was first expressed in the Patricia Tannis "Recorder" questlines where it had you drive from one side of the map to the other, only to have you go back to the other side of the map 20 feet away from the first one.
  • Don't rig certain quests to be easier with a party: The best example of this is the entire "Mad Moxxi" DLC. Unless you lucked into finding and EXTREMELY powerful shield or class mod, doing the Underdome by yourself was a huge pain. The same applies the "Circle of" arena challenge quests.
  • Don't make that one screwover boss: Anyone I've talked to had just 1 boss they've never beaten without dying: Mad Mel. It was bad enough you had to fight 5 other rocket-equipped cars, doubly worse when you throw in an enclosed area and the fact that if your car blew-up, all it took was a bump from an enemy car and instant death. The only good that came out of it is if you died, you could sit on the outside of the enclosed arena and shoot the cars without worry of becoming roadkill again.

That's my list! Here's to hoping for a good one!

Who'd like to see a Legacy of Kain Collection?

I've been thinking about this one for years. I would love to see the entire series Legacy of Kain I grew up with REMASTERED and in a collection. From the first Blood Omen to Soul Reaver all the way to the end of the Legacy with Defiance, it was a series of 5 games spanning 7 years. It's a classic series that I would love to see updated and play on modern consoles.

Divinity II: The Dragon Knight Saga; A MAJOR IMPROVEMENT!

I'm gonna keep this short, the original Divinity II had a great story that was brought down by multiple gameply bugs but worst of all, an unbalanced AI level and damage system, usually ending in you being ripped limb from limb by one random enemy. It was the first and only game I have EVER returned to gamestop and demanded a refund. I am happy to announce that EVERYTHING INCLUDING DIFFICULTY are fixed, and the game is as awesome as I hoped!

C'mon Bethesda! Drop the ONLINE crap and just finish Skyrim!

Seriously! Millions of people have anticipated the release of "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" ever since they stopped releasing DLC for Oblivion. Now, the game which was due sometime late 2010 has now been officially marked with the release date of "TBD". Why? Apparently there's a dispute that the developers have been going the completely wrong way. From my understanding, they're trying to turn this into ANOTHER WoW. Being a single player adventure is what has kept the Elder Scrolls trilogy so unique and and popular. I mean, sure, why not a co-op option, but turning it into another one of those "quest with your friends" games isn't the way to kill off a LEGENDARY series. I truly think all this "If you can't play online with others, the game's worthless" mentality is destroying the value and integrity of games. Seriously Bethesda, just drop the whole "ONLINE" idea and finish the game the way it should be, A UNIQUE SINGLE PLAYER ADVENTURE.

GameStop is friggan lame! They sell PC games but won't buy them!

Ever buy a PC game soooooo bad that you just wanted to break something? Ever thought about going to GameStop and selling it? So did I, but that's when I got a slap to the face.

GameStop uses the same lame excuse that Microsoft uses to keep games 360 exclusives: PIRATING! They can't be serious with this crap! I mean, C'mon! How hard is it to tell the difference between a homemade game disc with a cheaply copied sticker and a legit factory-produced vinyl/painted decal that's neatly glued to the disc?

How I hate new/used stores with excuses!
