With Borderlands 2 just announced, we look at what Gearbox Software can do to make a great game even better.
While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.
GF365: "Whether it be style, speed or firepower, these rides are sure to satisfy. Here are our picks for the ten best vehicles in video games."
The Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak from the Gran Turismo series
Nissan Skyline from Need for Speed Underground
Motorcycle Steamroller from Dead Rising 3
And finally a car you never drive but saves your ass over and over : Honey Badger from COD MW2
I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.
GF365: "Sometimes a funny and less stressful game is a welcome change. Here are the best comedic video games that will surely improve your mood."
1. Keep and improve the epic multiplayer co-op of the original.
2. Improve interactions with NPC's
3. Keep the unlimited weapons variety - and add customizable weapons
4. Add more varied environments - the waste land is great, but more areas would be cool (e.g. jungles)
5. Improve AI (they were a little stiff) and add more enemy variety (there were far too many repeated enemies)
6. Keep the intuitive leveling/skill-tree system, but add new abilities and classes.
7. Story could be better, although I would prefer gameplay improvements
8. Keep the unique and good-looking art-style of the original
9. Add a little bit more variety in quest objectives
Do that, and your good to go IMO.
4 v 4 Team Deathmatch.
That all DLC that comes out for Borderlands 2 lets you take the role of the Vault dwellers in a new adventure that leads up to Borderlands 3....we all like a little cliffhanger.
Make it like Guild Wars...
Hub towns with lot's of players walking around and interacting with each other and NPC's, forming groups for quests/missions, but without being able to draw weapons or fight in town except maybe in arenas.
Outside obviously instanced in the same way that Guild Wars is!
Other than that...
Better story.
More lively feel.
Less crap childish humour and instead more actual funny humour.
1. Better boss battles
2. Better HUD/Map when driving vehicles
3. Scale-able quests so im not fighting enemies 5 levels lower that i am
4. FAR better story and ending
5. More challenging and interesting quests
6. Smarter AI
BL:1 was fun with a friend, but not as great as N4G members say it is.
