Why do they forget about the pc gamers??????? I'm hoping that they make a few more dlc releases after this one, cause the replay value is a steady decrease after the first playthrough.

I haven't been this excited about actual DLC for awhile! Can't wait to see how much more Gearbox has in store for Boarderlands. Game of the Year (so far) IMO.

I'm stoked that this DLC is on the way. I've completely finished Playthrough 1 and 2 with my Siren, unlocked all the achievements, and my other three characters are wrapping up Playthrough 1 slowly but surly. I'm still addicted as hell to this game... so yeah... I just need more... not that what's already there isn't enough, because the game itself will have no problem tiding me over a couple more weeks.

Day 1 purchase. Already done everything there is in Borderlands, and I need more.

I hated that it was almost impossible to fight enemies above your level. What's the problem with some over-ambitious player? Why not let him skip some parts of the game and go for the big guys faster? After all, they're tougher anyway. You don't need to nerf players damage against them on top of thier already higher power.

So my only problem with this game (besides the drawn out go here, go there missions) was that I could stay very far back and kill any end boss/bad guy I needed to... I never had a problem with the difficulty in this game for that reason(Which sucked). I guess I could have ran in and fought up close but then I would have been making it harder for myself rather than the actual game being hard itself. Also the ending WAS ass mouth wash!

I wish we had some more details and what this content contains. Is it just an area and a new enemy type? Does it add anything else? Is there a coherent story or just a bunch of little missions? If it's coming out in just a couple weeks, you'd think there'd be a little more information.

dlc looks fun but i felt like this game was way to short for a rpg i know its a fps rpg but i was still expecting it would take me more than a week to finish it not 2 days...

Man...I am traveling from SEA to PA from that Tuesday until Sunday or it would be a day-one play through until completion. What is it about this game that makes it so cracktaculous? It has been ages since I got all achievements so promptly.

gah...i couldn't get away from this game for ...one week. Just finished the playthru 1 and on playthru 2. I really hope that they will keep pushing out DLC. Just annoyingly addictive game....

I'm excited for this DLC. My only concern is the level of the enemies. At what level do these enemies for the DLC start out at? Will they be too low for my high level characters? That's the thing I'm worried about. It would suck to pay $10 only to have to start a new character to thoroughly enjoy my purchase (aka, having some level of challenge and fun). I think this is where enemy auto-leveling like in Oblivion comes in handy.

Better release some more details on the length of the DLC and what it changes.

for one, zombies aren't lame, only people who hate zombies are lame.

and second, it's like you guys played a totally different game to me. Borderlands SUCKED.

4 player co-op gameplay vs a horde of zombies. NICE! Now I don't have to buy a gimped version of L4D 2 :D

Not sure I wanna visit Pandora again anytime soon. The ending of this game was such a letdown. Anti-climatic and not even rewarding in the slightest. I'm simply pissed at how lazy they've obviously been here.

Yeah, I can agree there, it's Halo 2 ending bad. You could do a satisfying ending AND cue up a sequel without having to abruptly end, and then do some arbitrary random thing like make Claptrap evil for some reason. But I got my loot on in the game, and if the DLC is pumped out on a consistent basis, I may still hold on to my copy for awhile.

No, everyone else went into it without some ass-backwards vendetta against Gearbox, without already deciding it sucked before playing it.

The game wasn't perfect, there was a decent amount of moderate flaws and a good amount of minor flaws. But it was a good game. It took something RELATIVELY unfamiliar - role-playing shooters - and really did both halves well.
