Add me on steam, we can run through the Co-op together.

That's not all bull shit. The game has good things going for it but it also has shity parts holding it back. 9/10 is certainly bullshit though. While I enjoy this game, the most I could give it is a 6.7 and that's a pretty big stretch.

Alot of folks are pissed. This was a bit of a kick in the nuts. It's like going from the movie Terminator 2 right to Terminator 4.

Well, I really bought this game for the multiplayer. Let's see what the patches do to fix it.

It was obviously rushed, no question there. I wonder if gearbox will send out an explaination/apology. This certainly isn't good for their future.

Eh, because I listed to you Adretheon...

This is what they did with Borderlands 2 as well. I may pick up the season pass just cause Gearbox usually does some amazing DLC. Of all the DLC they did for both Borderlands I only had maybe 2 that I didn't like much.

lol they aren't rushing the DLC so it will be much better

Not that fare from truth.

But I will admit I got suckered in. I would have bought it even if 20 reviews called it carp. But I would have waited for a much lower price.
