The wait for an incredible number of fans of the original Borderlands game is coming to a close. With a tentative Borderlands 2 release date being scheduled from the developers as mid to late 2012, I Am Monster: Idle Destruction Mod Download gaming geeks and fanatics alike already are speculating if the second installment can live up to the first. Why don't we cover what made Borderlands such a hit to begin with and investigate if 2K Games and Gearbox Software can step up to the plate with their most current iteration.

Borderlands was unveiled in 2009 and received critical acclaim because of its meshing of gaming genre's, namely First Person Shooters and Role Playing Games to coin a brand new phrase in video gaming, the Role Playing Shooter. By the end of 2009, Borderlands had sold more than 2 million copies worldwide and this figure has now hit 4. 5 million. The games' success was because of a number of reasons which includes filling a gap between your RPG and FPS makes, the striking cell-shaded images, almost endless list associated with weapons and enormous quest lists. Re-playability also factored in to its ongoing success with four items of downloadable content which broadened storyline, Beyond This Side Obb Download quests, leveling abilities and included the best of challenges, Crawmerax the Invincible.

The stage for Borderlands was the planet of Pandora and the storyline revolved around you, as one of the four main protagonists on a quest to find mysterious items of alien artifacts to be able to open 'The Vault'. The game catered nicely for single player in addition to co-op through either two player split screen or up to four players over the net.

Borderlands 2 picks up five years after the opening of the vault (the conclusion of the first game) and the scene is once again laid in Pandora. The new main antagonist, Handsome Jack, has claimed the credit and also the riches from the opening of the vault which has allowed him to take over as CEO from the Hyperion Corporation and implant himself as the dictator of Pandora. The players' role within this story gets started when Jack back stabs and then leaves the player for dead around the frozen tundra, The Abandoned Apk sufficient enough motivation for payback.

Everything that made the original game so successful is placed to return in its sequel. What can be garnered from available information just before its release date, the visual style and entertaining dialogue is going to be back, but what is planning to set this apart from its predecessor?

In a word...Guns. The selection in the initial was almost unending but in the second, they will be. Guns will also be easier to identify visually so forget about cross-hairs over weapon to see if you need to add it to the inventory. The customizations to weapons may also be ramped up with the introduction of Eridium upgrades along with the traditional mods available.

There are four new roles to select from, only two of which were announced prior to the Borderlands 2 release date. These roles are Salvador the Gunzerker and Maya the Siren. The skill trees for Salvador and Paladog Apk Hack all the new characters have been fully overhauled as well. My favorite so far is Salvador's' 'Sexual Tyrannosaurus' (is it possible to name the movie this was taken from) which regenerates health while taking damage.

Vehicles have received some attention with four person transports now being obtainable, a great leap in advance as anyone who played four person co-op in the first can testify to.
One of the criticisms of the first Borderlands was the 'sameness' of the settings. A concerted effort is being made this time to ensure an array of different zones, with the extra bonus that when you can see it, you can explore it. Three areas which have been named are the arctic tundra, dangerous grasslands and the corrosive caverns.

Brand spanking new adversaries are also on the cards with these already being named:


Elemental Skags - This time around they pass their power to others nearby.

Arctic Bullymong - A gorilla-like monster that can chuck torn up pieces of scenery at you,

Surveyors - Bots that can re-energize nearby allies,

WAR Loader - A sizable bot that fires missiles as well as bullets, and my favorite,

Nomad - A chubby bandit with an all-round shield, along with an angry midget tapped to it.
Coming from the reasonably limited knowledge available to date, it seems that a considerable amount of time has been spent to rectify the tiny shortfalls that were present in Borderlands. With the Borderlands 2 release date approaching, it appears to be that 2K as well as Gearbox have gone much further than a 'spit and polish' simply to rake in some money.
