This is a trend that's become not just annoying for those with slower internet connections but a pain for anyone with limited storage space. Its 130GB file size makes it the largest PC title released this year. It's starting to look as if 100GB titles have become the standard, and that could be a problem for some people.Īs noted by PC Gamer, the recent launch of Star Wars Jedi: Survivor marks another game that many buyers will spend hours downloading.

Views from here, when there was time to look, were really impressive, and the huge landscape we could see is apparently all explorable in Borderlands 2.ĭevelopers Gearbox were keen to make the point that they feel many game sequels are just 'content dumps', additional levels with no substantive changes, so they want to make Borderlands 2 a genuinely new game with real changes, and from what I saw, they are well on the way to achieving that.In brief: While powerful graphics cards are becoming an increasingly important component for PC gamers, the big releases we've seen this year suggest that a large-capacity SSD would be a more sensible buy. The player was flung off a high damn structure by an enormous robot. There was plenty of macabre, violent humor along the way, and the demo finished with the start of what looked like a big boss battle. The moonbase can attack anywhere on the planet of Pandora, run by 'Handsome Jack', who is trying to violently bring law and order. Fighting through these as Roland is being taken away through the industrial complex, we saw enemy backup robots being fired in from a moon base, which looked really cool and emphasized the incredible scale. He has been captured by a large hovering robot, hiding out in a lair guarded by weaponized mining robots. The mission demoed saw you teaming up with a female siren in two player co-op mode, to rescue Roland, a character from the first game.

The range of weaponry is really varied, with the new use-once-and-throwaway-guns called Tediores looking really cool - they have ammunition in them, but you can also throw them as grenades, making them very flexible. All the battles in Borderlands 2 were reassuringly dynamic and dramatic, without feeling scripted.
