Borderlands, while good, is nowhere near Saints Row 2.

I called it that in a video I submitted a while back. While I appreciate that you think I hit the nail on the head with my comparison you also don't like Deus Ex so it is very hard to give any value to your opinion.

Also the game isn't AS GOOD AS SR2 but it is to FPS/RPG hybrids what SR2 is to sandbox crime games.

But to be fair to Borderlands, virtually nothing is as good as Saints Row 2.

Also, it's not my fault that Deus Ex was bad and I'm one of like three people who noticed it. You had to go through the whole rigmarole to change your freaking weapon, just to use an integral grenade launcher. What the fuck?

You bastard!!! Deus Ex is not about asgfvglkja I can't do it. Those Bayonetta guys took it all out of me.

Absolutely it's the gameplay. I think I'm about halfway through (just hit the Rust Commons) and while none of the characters besides Scooter have made an impression on me at all, I keep loading the game for a quick half-hour session and finding it's like three in the morning. Especially now that the game's gotten properly Diablo-like, with the addition of class mods and actually worthwhile weapons in the shops.

The shooting and looting are great, and are better with at least one friend. Plus, the writing on The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned is pretty good.

I agree anything involving doctor Ned was pretty funny. Plus I'm a fan of cheap ways of disguising a character as something else. I'm surprised he didn't just hold a fucking comb under his nose and called that a disguise.
