Speaking with VG247, Gearbox boss Randy Pitchford said “Everyone here loves the franchise, and it seems like the public is really coming back with praise and love. So yeah, if everything makes sense, Borderlands 2 seems like a no-brainer to me”.
Hardly an official announcement, but then, it’s hardly surprising, either. Game sells -> game is popular -> game gets sequel isn’t exactly a revolutionary turn of events.

Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 8:37 PMI gather you mean on Playthrough 2?
The story isn’t actually that long or hard to finish the game.
I hope for the next, that they add a heck of alot more RPG elements. Like being able to explore MORE of the world without having to do much of the main quest.
There aren’t really side quests like in games like Oblivion or Fallout that are irrelevant to the main quest. Pretty much, do some things for this person and they’ll give you this to go to next part which is all part of the main quest.
And the all the areas are seperate to one another. Disappointed in those fields but loved the game nonetheless.

Thursday, November 12, 2009 at 7:01 PMYeh, a fix to the multiplayer would be nice. I also hope the ending won’t be as anti-climatic as the original one was.
