A few weeks back I was chugging along in Borderlands 2<\/b> when I figured I’d call it quits for the night. My buddy, Mat wasn’t around to play online so I said, “What the hell,” and hopped online, something I hadn’t done in BL2<\/b> yet. Turns out, I joined a game that was precisely where I was and we blitzed through the remainder of the game in a four-player carnage-fest. It was insanity. It was awesome. Our connection was spectacular, the enemies and loot were superb and it was a hell of a lot of fun.<\/p>\n
Now, in the grand scheme of things, BL2<\/b> had a better story, a few new tweaks and shiny new guns but it wasn’t that different from BL<\/b>. This may affect the Game of the Year<\/i> rankings – as The Walking Dead<\/b> was nothing like anything I’d ever played before. However, BL2<\/b> was brilliantly executed and left me with a TON<\/b> left to do. Two DLCs, two more to come, a second playthrough and a bunch of golden keys to use (L00t!)<\/p>\n
I can’t say enough about this game, really. It has everything I wanted in a game and I’m still playing it (three months after its release). Definitely one of the year’s best and certainly one of the best of this generation IMO, trumping BL<\/b> with certainty. Love it!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
