Borderlands 2, now with an ending…?

As many of you know, the most recent trailer for Borderlands 2 has just been released. It’s hard to really take anything concrete from a game trailer, but it seems like the developers are going the right direction with more weapons, more advanced skill trees, and a new lineup of characters. However, for all of us who played the first Borderlands, the characters and weapons were not the problem, in fact, they were the major reason why I played the game.

Borderlands is one of those games that is great to play with friends, and pretty boring to play by yourself. That being said, I remember distinctly the moment when my friends and I beat the last boss of the first Borderlands, only to be greeted by a giant middle finger from the developers. Leading the entire game up to a singular point, and then removing that point seems like a cheap shot by developers, and honestly, this was the only MAJOR flaw in the game as far as I am concerned.

So here is to hoping, hoping that the devs have listened to our cries of rage and disappointment, and finally put an ending into a game that was otherwise pretty damn good.

On another note, if you haven’t already, you should go download the Mass Effect 3 demo and give it a try. Even if you don’t want to ruin the story with a short demo teaser, the multiplayer is pretty fun as well, albeit a less polished version of Gears of War horde mode at this point. I don’t mind though, I liked Horde Mode in Gears and I like Mass Effect, so it’s really just pure fun at this point.
