A quick video compilation of the good and bad of Borderlands' melee capabilities. The video was created to help visual my blog post on the topic. Notice the fail of meleeing with anything other than +percentage to melee weapons.

I KNOW RIGHT? The melee gets shafted way too much. But I guess that Gearbox thought that with 87 bazillion guns nobody would use melee. But COME ON. Mordecai has that awesome sword, Roland has his combat knife, Brick a LEAD PIPE, and Lilith with her palm strike. I also think you should be able to WIELD your weapons instead of just doing the R3/RT/V thing. It should be like Bioshock 2 where that only does a quick gunbutt that does a little damage. To do more damage, you'd have to EQUIP it.

Sledges shot gun is so awesome the way it launches enemies in the air, i once shot a bruiser and sent him halfway across a map

@abermants its because of the +melee dmg, he has taken the melee spec and therefore the shotgun is very good
