Borderlands 2 - Introduction

First off, the plan was to do co-op with my brother, but schedules didn't line up enough times for playing video games and I want to get this game finished as quickly as I can. Secondly, I had started playing Borderlands 2 before this challenge, but decided to begin from the start again, but I didn't wanna document any of it, because, to be honest, it's mostly set up and nothing too interesting happens.

One of my favourite cover arts in recent memory

I loved the first Borderlands, it was basically Diablo blended with a first-person shooter with MMO style progression. And the humour, while pretty referential to pop-culture, was pretty well written and played most of the time. But above all, Borderlands just played well, the shooting was spot-on and it never seemed boring to me, especially when playing it with a group.

Which is why Borderlands 2 is sorta disappointing in the first couple of hours. It doesn't ramp up fast enough and makes it a slog. However, that could possibly just be a side-effect of playing it for a second time, and, as any ex-World of Warcraft player will you, leveling up by doing the same quests in an MMO is dull as shit. But now I've caught up to where I was and I'm ready to murder some fucking midgets!
