    meh.
    i HATED borderlands!
    1 reason being 4 times i had to restart the game because at one point it decided to corrupt my game save.
    when i contacted gearbox they blamed my ps3 for it, even though 1 it was brand new at the time, 2 did not do it with any other games, and 3 there were literally thousands of posts on their blog of people with the issue!
    2nd reason being it was REALLY freaking annoying!
    i remember one level i was trying to finish you have to wonder around to find these parts, but enemies keep non stop attacking you.
    you sit back and kill them all, so you would think ok now i can hunt in peace.
    but nope they keep spawning, so you have to search for these items while having 500 million things trying to kill you!
    GGGGGGGGGGGAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    drove me freaking insane!

    I actually thought you liked it.

    nope i loathed it!
    by all rights i should love it!
    i love open world games, i love fallout 3, i love humorus games.
    so by all means i should of loved this.
    i dident though simply because its far too buggy, and seriously annoying!
    if i have to do the tedious mundane task of searching for parts, then at least leave me alone and let me do it.
    everytime i went to pick something up i would have to stop and go kill some enemies, so it was literally impossible to do the freaking objective!

    Could not be happier. This is my go-to co-op game with my hubby and more of the weaponry, freaks and wacky humour of Pandora I can definitely do with. I am totally stoked; this announcement created quite a buzz in our company lunch room yesterday. All positive. Borderlands = Enemies!
