This is gonna sound nit-picky, but I can't let myself buy this. You know why? It's the graphics.
I hate cell shading, and everything that remotely looks like it. What's more, it looked fine beforehand! Over a million different weapons, RPG characteristics, Mad Max vehicles, I was sold. Then they turned it into a Guitar Hero FPS. Sorry, rant over.

I've got two guns pointed west and a broken compass.The graphics is really all that changed. The game will still be pretty much the same. It just looks more distinctive now. I will admit, it looked a little Real Is Brown at first.
'Ain't No Rest For The Wicked' in a video game trailer?
I approve.
The game itself looks bloody awesome. I like the cel-shading, myself.

Lots of games interset me right now, but I can't afford any til next month, and I'm kind of tossing it up between Borderlands for PC or Demon's Souls for PS 3.
Just finished playing for a bit. Notes:
- Probably better to play on an HD TV if you're going the 360 route. Goddamn eye-strainingly small text.
- If that bus driver calls me and asks me to take him to a strip club, someone will die.
- Claptrap is the Scrappy. Why can't I kill it?
- The art style is nice. A lot of personality.
- I can jump into an alternate dimension and kill everyone around me upon jumping out. This is awesome.
- My (automatic) pistol sets people on fire. This is also awesome.
- I'm not sure whether this due to me playing Lilith or if it applies to all characters, but it seems easier to snipe with a pistol than a sniper rifle. The rifle sways too much and the accuracy is frustratingly bad.
- Why can't I kill Claptrap?
- Sniper rifles do make the enemy explode upon landing a critical, though.
- I kind of wish there were more skills. And that there was more than one active skill for each character.
- Still haven't gotten the same gun yet. I have gotten similar, though.
- Why can't I kill Claptrap?
- Having a group of skags run after the people shooting you is fun. Even if they do turn try to maul you next.
- Please keep the doctor away from me mommy...
- Why can't I kill Claptrap?

What's the frequency Kenneth?|In case of war.If you want to play with friends, then it depends on how good their computers are. It has an option for split screen play on the consoles, but obviously not on the computer, so...
It also depends on whether you care about hackers and such or not. It'll be more of a problem on the PC.
