Hey guys, it’s now the middle of the week and it’s time for
another update. This time I want to talk about the game borderlands and its
long-awaited sequel that will be released mid-September this year. Now, I
played the first game significantly cooperative mode with my brother and it was
a lot of fun. We would do end boss runs
and pool the equipment we found to build up a very impressive arsenal.
Now from what I can see of the preview it looks as though we
are in for a lot more fun and gun shooting adventures with the next instalment of
borderlands. I’m glad they are retaining the beautifully cel-shaded graphics
because this was a real appealing aspect of the game to me since I last played
dark cloud on the ps2. Although there were other games using this style of
concept such as “Prince of Persia” No other title had yet impressed me this
much until borderlands came along. Another aspect that I am looking forward to
is the reworked AI system. Enemies will re-spawn more often and traverse the World;
they will also interact with each other promoting aspects of team-work in the
new advanced AI of the game. This should add further excitement in contrast to
the damage system that will allow enemies to take damage specific to the area
where they were injured.
Finally 2K games also released a sweet collector edition of
the game. It took the shape of the
signature loot-able borderlands weapons cache. I thought this was definitely a
nice touch to what is most likely going to be a phenomenal game. Also, there
will be other goodies like a bobble-head figure, cloth map, stickers, steel-book
case and of course bonus DLC (digital-download content) I am slightly miffed
that I missed this one down-under as the pre-orders for this were sold out very
fast. Hopefully I may still have some hope purchasing this at a later stage
online.
