That does tempt me, indeed. No more shitty Gamespy can only be a good thing.
Guess all that's left is to decide if the co-op can make the game for me. Need to scrounge me up a team.

Because that's the common accepted practice. Not everything is a conspiracy.
It will unlock 12:01 AM EST or -5 GMT whichever phrasing tickles your fancy.
That's why it seems weird to me; the game is bound to get great reviews.
I never acted like it's a conspiracy. I didn't know this was common practice with big games. It seems odd to me.
Every major release does this. Good or bad. You usually have to pay for an exclusive.
Yes it is very annoying.

All I can say is that after playing BL1 solo to plat. on PS3, all the DLC and then replaying it again to playthrough 2 on PC, the co op this time around on PC rivaled all of the fun I had solo and I loved the dialog and other story elements of BL1.
The crazy action you get into with other people is just pure fun. The improvements to the story, which I really look forward to, is just going to be a bonus. Lastly, you are rewarded with better and more loot the more friends you get to join in on the action. Win win.

How does a 21 item list become 23 pages?
Hand me the crowbar so I can fix your detector
Just kidding, he was being sarcastic.

Love being on Hawaiian Time when a new game is unlocked at midnight for the east coast. 7 PM baby whooo! Stoked to play this.

Makes me almost feel bad for the site if they are that desperate for page views.
Not enough to actually click through all that crap though.

cover page. 21 items. end page.
Going further with this, 2K tend to do this more often than most publishers. I still remember the day GTA Vice City came out. Could not find a single review anywhere by the time that the overnighted version on PS2 showed up on my doorstep.
No regrets on that one, that's for sure.
Amazing.
Pre-ordered just based on the my experience with the first game, so this is maybe the first bit of in-game media I've seen since the initial reveal. Now, I'm super hyped for midnight!

I always like sniper rifles in shooters and I played all of my borderlands 1 hours with mordecai but his skills were kind of boring..
Maybe I will switch it up this time and go shotgun style

The OP has it in there. Check it out.
weapons color rarity stayed the same as in BL1 right?
Didn't even bother looking at the colors and the weapon names, just wasn't as intuitive as just looking at whether it had green arrows pointing up or red ones pointing down.

Sure thing - I have a few of my builds printed out (thanks print screen!) ready for the coming weeks!
This is true :lol
I don't think I ever found a yellowish/orange weapon that was any better than a purple one I had.

Fuck my color-blinded self...yellow/green are the same brightness and can hardly be distinguished by someone who's red/green colorblind. Why do developers always make this mistake?
Combustion Hellfire I believe was the best orange out of the bunch. The rest were purples I believe. I remember the Vitrolic Crux, Glorious Havoc, and Double Anarchy were some of the best names as well.

How is it a mistake? I can tell the difference.
I think devs should put in a colorblind mode/option so that people who have trouble seeing certain spectrums of color can play without having problems. I've noticed that more and more games now do release with that option, though I can't speak for Borderlands 2 yet.
Yellow/green and blue/purple with similar brightness levels can look very close since we're less sensitive to red and green. It's so easy to avoid this issue (just make one brighter/darker than the other, solved). Just seems like a big omission considering 1/10th of your userbase is likely to be colorblind.
now i'm all caught up. thanks for that.
never played the first, but borderlands 2 just looks like too much fun so i'm getting it.
Yeah, it was the unique effects that set the oranges apart. A bad orange could have stats like a green or a blue, but they all had some modifier that you couldn't get anywhere else.
So it wasn't all in the arrows. The Hellfire had a massively more powerful incendiary effect than any other gun except maybe the Volcano; if you had a good one you could spray down a whole room with one clip and then duck back while the enemies burned to death.
But some of the effects weren't very interesting, and in general I wish more of the effects had been able to appear on different kinds of weapons.

I can barely tell the difference between the top three. Hell, even use different font treatments or other things that aren't so reliant on color.
