Video Games?

I bought Borderlands and I've never been more disappointed in a game. It is so fucking repetitive and boring. I paid 64 bucks for such shit and haven't gotten a response to any of my craigslist ads to buy the game.

The biggest lowpoint is the damn respawning enemies. This is what makes a game repetitive because once you clear out 10 enemies, once you leave and come back you must clear out the same enemies. This gets very boring fast.


The other lowpoint is the easy boss battles. I fucked up on sledge and died multiple times before realizing that of you just run circles around him, he dies quickly. That's how every boss battle is. Skagzilla was probably the easiest big thing I've ever beaten in a game. Just jump when he's about to land. Its too easy.


Its gotten mildly better as you go along, but its still just an average game at best. Sorry for the rant.

Have you played through it a second time after beating it?

You keep your weapons and level from the start and can then max out your weapons and character. Then if you go for a third playthrough all the enemies are harder but drop better loot.

I'm anticipating the next Fallout game.

Bioshock 2 is now going to have a Collector's Edition as well as the regular version.

Needless to say, I changed my pre-order to the CE.

It's just 2 extra multiplayer character classes and an art book right?

If it was as cool as the first collectors edition or Fallout 3's collectors edition then i'd get it ... if not then the standard edition is fine.

It sure as heck better be more than just that, as the cost is $40 more than the standard edition!

I may have to look into this, as I am not paying that much for just an art book(I don't play multiplayer, so the extra character classes are useless to me). Gimme stuff I can hold in my hands, not useless things like extra characters or an extra item(such as you would find from Dragon Age, Two Worlds, Hellgate:London, etc.)

Rocka, I just checked out Amazon.ca and it looks like there are a few more extras than that.

It comes with:

-Vinyl 180g LP with Bioshock orchestral score
-Audio CD with Bioshock 2 orchestral score
-Three vintage Rapture advertisement posters(rolled)
-Bioshock 2 Artbook, 164 pages and hardcover

Here is a picture:

I'm a sucker for soundtracks for the games, and this one has one for both Bioshock 1 and 2. If these are the goodies it comes with, I will still get the CE.

That's cool , but i would have loved a "Big Sister" figure to go w/ the "Big Daddy" from the first game.

I think because they had so many problems with the Big Daddy figurines from the Bioshock 1 CE, they didn't want to risk it happening again. A lot of the figurines ended up with their arms being broken off during shipping and they had to return them. It probably cost them a lot of extra money because of this.

I like a lot of older games. The newest one I own is GTA4, and the newest since that is probably Quake 4.

I like games like old school Unreal Tournament, Final Fantasy (the NES version), Neo Geo's Metal Slug series, and Castlevania: Symphony of the Night. I recently started replaying Quake 2.

Actually, I lied. I have a few newer games that my coworker suggested. Spelunky and Super Meat Boy. They're both deadly platformers.
