"Get ready to joy puke your face off"

RPG-FPS hybrid Borderlands 2 finally has release dates: September 18 for North America and September 21 everywhere else. And for PC fans looking forward to the promised features and optimization, you won't even have to suffer a delay -- it's a simultaneous release for once.

Going along with the news, we've the "Doomsday trailer", which goes over just about every aspect of the game you could possibly want, and throws in that crazy chainsaw music the kids like for good measure. Enjoy, then get off my lawn.

They did some interesting things with this video. They could have done a lot better with the entire thing. Like the part where the music stopped, that sucked. I don't care about the narrative, you're already going with over the top footage and descriptions, keep it up. They did at the end, I know, but consistency is important sometimes. They could have just put the Claptrap for longer if they needed time. The live-action bit at the end was just stupid.

Looks a lot like the first, obviously intended, but I don't know how I'd feel with the same four classes being in the game again with extra skills. Those skills don't change the fact that I'm still playing a Rogue or a Tank...

I'm so pumped for the release of this, I just wish they would have gone with a release date similar to the first.

Zero looks like a total badass. I think I know which character I'm going to use.

Very interesting. I can't wait to see how the characters play out, but I'm leaning towards either Maya or Zero. I'm also really digging how the weapons are looking. I'm not so thrilled about the release date, but hey, a little more catering to the PC audience? I approve.

Holy hell. I wasn't really psyched about this, but now I am.
I can't decide to choose either Zero or Axton though...

While I had agreed with your point on the live-action part at the end, my friend made a good point: The Guardian Angel in Borderlands looked like, or was, a live-action recording with video effects. Perhaps Lilith will also communicate with you somehow in a similar fashion? She _is_ a Siren after all and their abilities haven't been defined other than being supernatural.

The placement was strange and if she does play a part in the story, she will undoubtedly look much more integrated into the scenery and background compared to the video.
