Durante's DSFix + gamepad highly recommended! Desire for punishment optional but recommened as well... this game will kick your ass over and over until you get better or quit, much like life. Nothing will be handed to you but the reward for progress is so satisfying.

This is one of the most engrossing, life-consuming games I have played in a long, long time. It brings me back to the SNES days where I could spend 100s of hours on a game, digging through every little thing to learn all the story/lore I could, finding all the secrets and trying to master everything, learning advanced techniques & shortcuts, squence-breaking, min-maxing builds....

TL;DR this is an EPIC action-RPG and on par with classic games like Metroid, Zelda, Final Fantasy III(VI), etc. Highly recommend must buy.

It's a masterpiece!
Everything you loved about Borderlands cranked up to 11 - FPS of the year without a doubt. The dialogue is great, the graphics are great, the interface is so far improved, it's been lovingly (properly) been brought to PC, the guns look and sound awesome (even the shitty ones are awesome) just everything about it screams polish with a big fat dose of humor. I <3 Gearbox for this

Gun porn and endless loot - what's not to like? More fun with friends, and I'm still not sick of this game after playing it on Xbox 360 and repurchasing for PC!
