Epic Failure
Then we'll find some other game to hyperventilate for a while. Getting excited about the game is half the fun for me.
Besides, I think all indications are that this will be at least a decent game.
Yeah, I know that feeling very well.
You know that game FUEL? The big, 5,000 square mile map. I was looking forward to it for months. But then the reviews came in. Then I played the demo shortly afterward. Bouncy physics, bad controls, virtually nothing to do but drive around, but it looked nice.
There wasn't even that much content in it. All the cars felt the same.
But as for Borderlands, I have no doubts. Whenever Randy talks about Borderlands, his face just lights up. So brightly that you can stick him on top of a lighthouse to guide the ships. He's been at the game for a long time and Gearbox seems to be having fun with it still, rather than getting sick of it. They got it.
Frankly if you have doubts like this in your mind, then just forget about getting the game. because if you you'll find something that's not even wrong with and complain, so save us the agony and get rid of the doubts.
P.S. Not being an ass, just saying. This game is way to awesome to have doubts about it.

Don't be a Negative Nancy.
From the videos, people had fun with it. I've checked out the demo of Too Human, which doesn't look anything like Borderlands. They probably got the loot system nailed down, but the gameplay was just chaotic and dying yielded no real punishment.
They had 2-3 years with this game, and it's Gearbox. It'll be good.
