Kevin VanOrd talks about his hands-on impressions of Borderlands 2.
Cant wait to play the game, i really wasen't wild with the art direction in the first game mainly because of the very narrow color pallet but man it really pops when they add the bright greens and blues to it. This might be my favorite game this year if it lives up to the hype.
3 Like I'm looking forward to this one, its...
O, I thought this was the comment section for a Borderlands 2 video, not one for a "rip on transgendered people" video...
seriously, what about the game?
2 Like I'm a Christian living in southern Alabama, so yeah, I don't agree with the transgender stuff, but come on guys. Quit being a bunch of spiteful jerks about it. Sure I don't agree with her decision, but I'm not about to treat her like she's not a normal person, and neither should you.

When half the comments here focus on Carolyn's gender (not the first time), Gamespot should probably do something about it before it gets out of hand. I just wonder if that means more censorship or changing something about their videos with Carolyn.
Caroline Petit totally did not want to be there. Im in school for clinical psychology and Im very good at reading peoples body language and tone of voice. I dont know if she had other things on her mind or was too busy to bother but it was very apparent she couldnt give two shakes about what Kevin had to say regarding Borderlands 2.
1 Like Borderlands 2 is looking good from what I've seen so far. I do have to say that unless they introduce some groundbreaking changes from Borderlands 1, this should basically be an automatic win. Shooters have become very stale and the Diablo-ish loot formula really helps in differentiating your game from this bland mass. Also, offline coop is still the one feature that can make any half decent game a gem in my mind. In the nineties I predicted, that offline multiplayer would become a standard feature in gaming and it's still mind-blowing to me, that this is still not the case. For that simple fact, I'll support this game as much as I can, in the hope that other publishers may at some point see the light.
Also, don't take this the wrong way, but there's nothing wrong with fixing yourself up a little, if you're going to be on video. I don't think it's something to get mad about, as some do apparently, but if you're going to keep doing this, it might be a good idea to 'follow suit'. (sorry for the pun)
2 Like Diablo = Loot, Story, Blood
Borderlands = Guns, Loot, Story, Blood
Borderlands 2 = Same thing (Hopefully)
Seems good to me
1 Like Perhaps, nodding is her way of showing enthusiasm and being polite and attentive during conversation? There doesn't seem anything unnatural or awkward about that to me? Quite the opposite, it's called being friendly and it's actually endearing behaviour....? *shrugs*
3 Like So, this vid is basically about Carolyn Petit nodding at everything Kevin VanOrd says.
@shadow580 Ha! Yeh, that's probably true, specially if your job is in the very line of your nodding. ;)
Still, I'm sure there's a moral indicator that tells us: "Woah, that's it! You just crossed the line of 'too much nodding'!".
12 Like I will say it again, I love video games and hate video game fans. Instead of a talking about Borderlands 2 all the posts are imature hate. People are different. People who play video games are different. Get the fuck over it losers.
6 Like Kevin VanOrd is the man! When he speaks you listen. Unfortunately when he said he didn't like the first one much I kinda disagreed with him. He definitely gives a great unbias opinion with his reviews. But Borderlands 2 will be great!
1 Like Stop the 1:45 length ad trailer!!!!!!!!!!!We get its south park now piss the long ads OFFFFF!!!!!!!!XD
1 Like Wow borderlands is sounding like its going to turn out great! I loved the first one so It will be day 1 for me to. Thanks guys, Also is that Johnny, Seb and Jane from the UK in the background???
1 Like I shrugged of Kevin's intimate weirdness after awhile, but I can't seem to get over caro...

"It's a day one purchase for me..." - Kevin Van Ord
Yes, cause you actually have to take into account that $60 can't be an every day purchase you're not getting paid to play and beat the game before it's even released.
Does look like a potential day one purchase though...
I'm sorry but I am not a person who hates on people for being different but this bothers me a bit and I couldn't watch this whole thing because I was so disturbed. I really wanted to learn more about borderlands 2 as I played borderlands 1 more than any other game.
2 Like @Demonicstriker All the more reason to watch more of these vids. You get used to something different the more you're exposed to it.

3 Like @Helloween_Fan lol to be fair i didnt knew she was a "she" until now. if you never look the videos of gamespot like me, well that girl sure looks like a man at first sight.
6 Like @Helloween_Fan Have you just joined GS right this moment just to make that comment?
Carolyn has been and editor for GS for years, So go back under you rock and keep comments like that to yourself.
I don't get you commenting idiots, so what if she is whatever, we are bloody here for borderlands 2!
And i am sure many of you could live a full life without mentioning anything, why comment so stupidly?
1 Like If you're here about Borderlands 2, why are you commenting about what other people are commenting? Just comment about the game :)
1 Like @mishdogg and that bring me to this act of foolishness, are you actually trying the defend the ignorance around here? or are you just as ignorant, commenting as if you are swinging a bat blindly towards no balls/ metaphorically speaking.
An perfect example for a useless comment....pathetic attempt.
@DITHRICH Let's all calm down and try to take our own advice. Set an example for everyone here.
@3vosix Hey buddy, you seem like a twit so i will address you as one, don't tell me what to do, want to preach to someone, go to your local church group or whatever, you simply think i am mad because i am aggressive? mate please, go play your games, and keep your useless comments to yourself!
@DITHRICH You seem like a great guy but seriously shut up about defending Carol... just play some fucking games and take your rage out on the noobs on the battle ground.
@slycooper21 The game looks awesome, hope to get a demo for the commando class and the assassin one.
stop freaking, talking about Caroline as if she/he isn't a person.
most of you people hide safely behind your keyboards thinking of yourselves as gods and shot callers. she dose a great job doing many stuff here for you guys, appreciate it and grow the bloody hell up!
sorry i talked too much about borderlands again right?
@mishdogg If you would have taken your time reading you might have seen that i mostly relate to those who have no tolerance to others, different....
@DITHRICH I'm simply trying to hold you to your own standards. You complain that people are discussing other things instead of the game itself, but you seem to be doing the same thing :-)
