Borderlands 2

[Frag]

I rented the first and had a great time playing it for a night with bonemage, but even in that time frame it got pretty repetitive so ended up not buying it.

Indeed, that's why I stopped playing it after level...I forget, 15 or so. It just got boring. Different strokes, I suppose.

I've heard this from about a dozen people so far, and I admit I don't quite understand it. It took me around 160hrs of gameplay to get the point I felt like I had mostly mastered the combat, and still had challenges left that really pushed me (mostly 2.5x New Haven & Crawmerax). That's what keeps me interested in the game is the very high skill cap on being able to perfectly fight each and every major opponent. I do accept that I'm likely one of the few who probably see the game this way, though.
