Not me. From what I've seen it looks like it will slay.

It's pretty badass.

There are some annoying elements but overall I'm having a blast.

yeah, the amount of walking, driving is lame, but killing fools is fun every time.

Yeah. And I get angry every time a bunch of dudes I've already toasted respawn while I'm in the same area or backtracking.

On the other hand, headshots are awesome. Running over people is awesome. Finding better weapons is awesome. Hoping to spend some more quality time with the game again tonight.

Speaking of respawns, everytime I go to the bandit camp beside Fyrestone, I have to fight the Bone Head boss. I think I've killed him a half-dozen times and collected an equal number of his "rare" weapon, the Bone Shredder. Anyone else experiencing this? Is it a glitch, or does the game continually respawn "boss" characters?

This is what I meant by respawning. And it's not limited to just the bosses. Good for XP farming but that's about it.

Nothing worse than clearing out an entire area only to have to backtrack to get out of there/back to base and having to fight your way through the same army you nailed the first time. :x

I generally end up just sprinting, since you can sprint away from just about anyone and I don't want to spend all my dollars on restocking ammo.

Gotcha.

I just fought my way through Sledge's Safehouse. Up until then, I felt there was something missing from the game, some intangible draw to suck me into the world of Borderlands. But there was something just awesome about the atmosphere of the Safehouse that has me pumped to keep playing!

Spoiler: show
There was just a sense of dread mixed with anticipation. The big room at the end containing the key (clearly a boss fight), the ridiculous amount of weapons and ammo discovered along the way, the tight, claustrophobic confines (as opposed to the wide-open spaces I've played through so far), the tortured cries of the Clap-Trap, those terrifyingly hilarious midgets running at me in droves. The whole thing was great! Not to mention an insane boss fight.

Yeah, that part is great. So is the boss fight in Headstone Mine.

2-4 player co op with the extra in game option to play a quick vs match at any time.
The more players you have the harder the enemies becomes and the more rare items they drop. You just go complete quests together and its a ton of fun due to the variety of characters and special weapons/addons. Its easily my favorite xbox game. I love both the offline and online mode. Dying to have a few more people to play with. Right now I just have 1 friend iwht the game.
