Borderlands 2

As annoyed as I am with the Black Thursday Friday sales, I did get a new game for my collection at an amazing price. Thanks to an awesome stranger who grabbed the copy for me, I now have Borderlands 2 on the Xbox for $25.

I had played it a bit split screen with my brother-in-law before, but this was my first opportunity to play it solo and full screen. Needless to say, I had a blast! I played it about an hour or so by myself before a great friend jumped in soon followed by my brother-in-law. The three of us played co-op together until the wee hours of the morning. We ended with us arriving in Sanctuary and taking care of a few things there.

This game is so much fun to play, especially with others. I'm just glad that I get experience for their kills as they are all several levels over me and were tending to kill everything that moved before I had a chance to join the fight... Oh well, still fun.

I also like the graphical style of the game and the massive size of the levels. Being a big fan of large world and loot games (Diablo, Fallout, Oblivion), I have also been enjoying exploring the world, opening as many containers as I see and finding as many guns as possible. I just wish I had more backpack space.

Right now, I've been working on an Assassin character and am almost level 11. I'm looking forward to trying out the other classes as well and eventually getting the DLC, probably via the season pass. I can tell you right now, this game is probably going to take up a lot of my gaming time now and is a welcomed break from Minecraft. 

Update: I guess I'm a 'bad blogger'. Here is yet another blog I've had drafted for well over a week and haven't posted yet. I'm now a level 12 Assassin and still loving the game. I just met the Firehawk when I left off.
