Borderlands 2: Building a Better Story

IGN: Combining first-person shooter gameplay with the habit-forming looting and leveling mechanics of Diablo, Gearbox's Borderlands quickly became a favorite around the IGN offices when it was released in 2009. It only got better with the downloadable content expansions, specifically the third titled The Secret Armory of General Knoxx. It wasn't until then that Borderlands felt fully-realized, with a story filled with goofy, memorable characters, making extended kill fests on the planet of Pandora feel more purposeful instead of random.

Borderlands had gorgeous graphics, outstanding gameplay, ans some of the best MP integration around. It's one of the best games this gen. The story was also 99% awesome...Meaning the ending was flat and ended on such a waste. Could of added a cutscene and:

SPOILER SPOILER ALERT ALERT
***Having no vault at the end*** was lame. They should of had it in there and had a bunch of cool weapons to take for beating the game.

I platinumed it and loved it. The DLC was also really cool. I hope B-Lands 2 builds on what they did. Tighten up the shooting a bit and you have an RPG GOTY contender for 2012 there.

Totally agree. Great gameplay (SP, on and offline co op), so much fun, especially loved General Knoxx' messages in the Armoury DLC.
I dont think Borderlands was ever about 'the story', more about the fun gameplay and they sure got that part right.
Most addictive game Ive ever played - and still do.

I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.

No one liked the Batmobile in Arkham Knight. Top 10?

I don't know... It was a strange addition to the game, and the parts of the game where you had to fight in it were tedious. But driving it around Gotham felt brilliant.
