Those of you that have not listened to past episodes of Wonderpod Video Game Podcast may not know that I was never a big fan of the original Borderlands. Which is a bit strange considering how much I like both shooters and online co-op with members of the Wpod family. It may have been due to my picking up the title late after its release and those that I played with were much too high in rank to be playing with me. Perhaps it may have been because of the needless grinding that game sometimes had, I am not sure really. As a result, I have not been paying much attention this sequels progress at all. After watching the latest trailer I have to say its looking like more of the same gameplay, which for most of you out there is probably a good thing. For me? Well I will have to be really impressed with what the guys on the podcast will be telling us about it when the game actually launches in order for PatMan to make another borderlands purchase. Still, I can see why so many gamers loved the game and for you good people, go take a look at the new trailer and let me know what YOU think about this sequel!

It looks good as did the last one. Once I got past the cool art, the game felt really flat to me. I don't see myself buying this until it hits the bargain bin. If enough of the crew have it, I will eventually pick it up. Some four player co-op where you start out level one and work your way up as a crew would be interesting.
I think that was my problem with the first game, I was playing as a level 4 or 5 with Gunsage who was probably maxed out and also Stinky Wombat, who was very high in rank as well. Had I played it single player more I may have enjoyed it more.
One thing I learned playing Dead Island with G was making a co-op specific games is the best route. That way everyone is the same level and works together. I did not take enough time to co-op with the G man in that game. Should of, but got distracted by a tinfoil ball.
How the hell did the first game have needless grinding? If you did sidequests you could be several levels higher than you needed to be.
