You must resist the urge to buy!

great game

It's very good co-op game if you have have time to play together in weeks.
But if you buy it to play alone, my advise is don't buy it.

The first hour or so is kinda lame, but if you manage to endure it the rest of the game is totally worth it imo

With friends its awesome.

Why SHOULDN'T you buy Borderlands 2?

A short essay from M. J. Thunder.

Because you can buy food instead.
The end.

B2 it's boring....B1 way better

Because you'll put on your backlog, considering that one can spend a lifetime with this game.

Bought the GOTY at Humble Store for 7,49€ a few months ago, and haven't touched it yet.

It's definitely something you have to be in the right mood to play.
I can understand it being "boring", though I played all the way through it multiple times with multiple characters (mostly solo, but not always).

If you have other shooters to play that you definitely enjoy, you could stay with them. Or just wait 'til the Winter sale. Or, go a bit out of your comfort zone and try BL2 with other people (the interface makes it pretty easy to do) -- but ideally with people who haven't played yet (maybe try the Let's Play Together section of the forums here to get a group together).

Also, you might want to play Borderlands 1 first. There are recurring characters in 2, and if you like to follow a story's characters (not necessarily the story, but the character arcs), it would be helpful.

Buy GOTY. Anyway even in solo is pretty fun on the first run thanks to the tons of humor you'll find.
The real fun anyway starts when your pg has developed a bit and you strats to find various good weapons, at first may seems a bit limited (I still have to understand why you get the first skill point at level 5, making the first levels quite boring).

If you liked the first one, buy it, if you found it repetitive, don't.

In my opinion is a bad game, repoetitive, 1 active skill and all passives, some gun models with stats variation, uninteresting story, etc. But again, i have been told i don;t get video games.

I don't why everyone likes borderlands series but I think it really sucks. I finished first two and didn't like at all. Now trying the pre-sequel and it's even worse. So yeah, don't buy cause it sucks lol.

If you didn't like the 1st one you probably won't like it :p

Now as far as downsides to this? the gun company traits are more gimmicky than in the past, the stupid amounts of DLC. But if you're to buy it, get the GotY edition (the most for your buck, even if it doesn't have all the content DLC, Gogdarn it, Gearbox)

Love the game, my biggest gripe about it doesn't start till you hit Ultimate Vault Hunter mode.

At that time, many of your talents become useless (at least as a Siren) and the entire concept of Slag which honestly sucks solo and becomes about required by the time you hit the last play through.

another thread?? fine .
cuz you need money to get a good haircut. save it,

Are you allergic to loot, pecs and explosions? If so, don't buy it

This is one of my favorite games.Buy the GOTY edition. And you can play the entire game solo.

I played it solo. It's... Fun I guess. For some reason I can never play it for very long. I think the areas are too large to travel around. Unless there's a catch-a-ride nearby, you'll be walking around for ages.

Then again, that might not be the reason I can't truly get into it and complete it.

Solo is fun but trust me, it's SO MUCH better to play co-op! I mean, the loot is better, the enemies are tougher and definitely will keep you on your toes. I played solo for the first couple of playthroughs and I just felt like killing myself to finish the story. I enjoyed it again once I started to co-op though! ^^

Mates I want to get both 1 and 2 with dlc's how do I do that? They didnt bundle them both with goty editions.

DLC's thats why... i bought the GOTY expecting to have all... i lack like 20 dlcs...

It is a great game though

i really enjoyed this game, but not as much as the first borderlands. of course if this one bores you, don't even get near the pre-sequel one... i couldn't play more than 10 hours.

do drugs instead
