Picked up the game today with a friend (I'm playing it with him right now). Don't actually think it's that good. Leveling up and finding new gear is basically all there is to it. I'm not very far in, and already feel kinda disappointed. Does the story pick up at some point (or dare I say, does it ever get interesting?).
I sorta felt the same way when I started, but I'm having a lot more fun now. Stick with it at least til you get to New Haven and level your toon up a bit.

Damn it's going to have bank. Of course it's in the paid dlc and not in free update... otherwise looks kinda cool. I'll wait when it's on sale.

really wish there was armor drops and stuff like that to further customize your character to make them unique... hopefully borderlands 2 will address this

There's plenty of issues for Borderlands 2 to address. Some of the multiplayer features are so dry and basic that they almost seem like an afterthought. And no bank? I have to pay extra for that? Come on...

Okay, so not only is the bank only available if you pay extra for it, but it's not even shared between characters?! What year is this, Gearbox?

well that sucks, was hoping for that to transfer gear without hastling friends :(

But yeah i see your point on the multiplayer side of things, but its gearbox is this there first "IP" i thought they used to be just porters.

What? No. Gearbox did not just used to be "porters." They just happened to port Halo CE.

Not their first game, not their first IP, and there's no excuses for having the features of a 10+ year old online RPG!

This game could use some vast improvements and hopefully the sequel will combine them all into one package instead of selling to them incrementally as DLC. It's still pretty fun though. I'm about to finish my first play through. I do believe I only have one story mission left.

Ahh sorry i was vastly missinformed then, must have a mooch at there other games then.

Yeah the game has issues hopefully patches (lol) or the sequal will fix it

What happened to the days when no one said "free dlc" because it all was, people expected devs to look after there fanbase ..... :(

I don't mind paying for DLC, but for features that have become a standard to the genre it just feels so sketchy. This isn't the year 2000, but the out-of-the-box features we get sure make it feel that way sometimes.

Hopefully Borderlands 2 feels a little more complete. There's still a ton of content though, and it's very enjoyable all the same.

Ok so i have been playing Borderlands, and it's fucking amazing. It's very addicting.

Things that are bit meh: Use of Gamespy; Menus suck on PC. While DLC seems fine, it's expensive, and it's giving us stuff that should be on the game.
Bank? NO place to store loot on a loot game? Insane. And it isn't even shared between characters. So rudimentary :)

Waiting for a weekend deal on the DLC, they should just pack it together, and sell at discount. (speaking about Steam).

Come on Gearbox, you got a good game here, a good start of what can be great franchise. If they can fix stuff from first game, 2nd can be sooo much better.

The game has been a let down for me, even though my expectations were very low to begin with. There are way too many things that jump me right in the face that let me doubt the quality and effort put into this. I don't know if I did something wrong, but even collecting weapons is not fun because they either seem marginally worse than the ones I already have or they have some ridiculous constraints like a tiny clip or a lengthy reload rate. As a result I run around for hours using the same weapons.

I have the feeling the weapons have been balanced around their inability rather than extra ability and diversity. That's lazy game design. The humour is good but it's such a small part of the game, it isn't worth mentioning.
