So anyone else psyched for this game or what?! It's pretty much the only reason I exist right now. I already pre-ordered it and got the 100$ Vault Hunter package (but I guess they ran out of the red chests). The first game is pretty much my favorite game of all time and I can't tell you how many countless hundreds of hours I've put into it but I have easily played it more than any other game in my life. I'm playing it again right now. I have files for all four characters and I'm just messing around completing challenges and doing Crawmerax/Armory runs looking for rarities (I have found all Legendary weapons and all the Pearlescent weapons except for Avenger and Nemesis).
I've been devouring videos of the new gameplay but not spoiling myself too much. It looks pretty sick and already seems like it does a lot to break up some of the monotonous things from the first game. There are a few things that I am a little unsure of though. First off, I guess each new character has no weapon specialty. The pro is that you don't get locked into any one or two weapon classes but it kind of kills the whole role-playing aspect and you don't get the powerful feeling of boosting proficencies, skills and using Mods. Also, I'm not too sure about using Eridium to buy rarities. I like the randomness of the first game in finding those. Although it would be nice to know you can get a particularly good gun at any time even if it is expensive. There also something about the color scheme I'm not too keen on. I don't think I like the gun cards I've seen so far. Maybe they will change though.
So anything any of you Hunters want to add?
