  • With all of the problems I've read about ACM, this seems like they were working on the patch pre-release instead of the actual game.

  • 5 years of dev time and it still needs a patch???
    No thanks Gearbox, should've done a better job in the first place...
    Also, does it make the game any good?
  • I don't think a day 1 patch is going to fix a game that was in the works for as long as it was. It's not like it's a complex game like Assassin's Creed or GTA so I'm just going to chalk it up to it being that terrible. Good job, Gearbox.
  • No amount of patching can fix this.

  • Borderlands One of best games of a generation Aliens Colonial Marines on of the worst this year Both by Gear box...what the hell? Does it it not deserve care?
  • I'm slowly starting to loose fate in GearBox. Borderlands 2 is one of my favorite games but the DLC has been lackluster. I remember Randy saying in an interview that each one would be the length of General Knoxxs armory and none of them has come even close. Add this horrible game to the resume and Gearbox is really disappointing me.
  • Gearbox reminds me of Star Trek movies with the up and down level of quality they have in their games. Borderlands 2 is one of my best gaming experiences this generation, from the people who "saved" Duke Nukem Forever!
  • The game is fine, the only problem I have with it is the less than stellar graphics for such a new game.
  • Man, I was so bummed by this game, being a gamer and an Aliens fan. I actually plowed through work yesterday so I can rush home and play it...after an hour, I basically went to bed early.

  • Even though this game has scored low on reviews my friends still enjoy it. I'm thinking about getting the demo.

  • I caved and bought it on the PC, it really isn't that terrible. I've been playing on the hardest difficulty. Not really a bunch of handholding or anything, no UI, non regenerating health. Pretty tough. AI definitely seems to be smarter cause they know where you are, but not to the point of it being to OP.

  • MOST under rated game of 2013
  • I saw the Test Chamber on this. With all that time you'd think they would smooth out the rough edges at least. How could a studio responsible for a AAA title like Borderlands churn out a game that doesn't even appear to be properly tested? Ample time to develop this and yet the final product is just plain sloppy. Why would they put their reputation on the line with this game? They had to know it was subpar...
  • Does it alter the review at all? :p I was really hoping this game would be awesome. I knew better, but I was hoping. Hell if I had the money, I was going to buy it on the spot. Glad I waited.

  • I've played this for a while today, and tbh it isn't that bad of a game, however, the game could've been a lot better. I have yet to try multiplayer, but hopefully it'll add some replay value to the game.
  • It may be February, but I'm sure this'll be kept in mind for a spot on the Most Disappointing List for this year.

  • Is it just me, or are games starting to really suck? I can't be the only one thinking the quality of games has really gone downhill...
  • bullets that dont pass through open doors!? Man this game really fell through.  How do testers and dev teams miss something like that?  Maybe in 5 years someone else will try again and get it right.

  • Is this better than AVP. I know AVP wasnt perfect, but the human campaign was pretty damn fun.
