BORDERLANDS

[Whirlwind]

Is anybody else playing Borderlands?

I have started Borderlands, and so far I really like it.

My son and I are going to be playing co-op over our home lan, but for now I started a single player game.

It is a post apocalyptic world, but I for one like that .

In the short time that I have played this, I have found these things that I really like.

The game world graphics reminds me so much of Fallout & Fallout 2....except it is done in a FRS format and not isometric...I am really diggin the graphics because I loved the graphics in the first 2 Fallout games.

It is a nice change of pace to play a game where the graphics are not meant to be real looking.

I love the fact that while it does have RPG elements....it is pure shooter fun and realism of what could really happen in life are thrown out the window for some pure FUN!

I am early on, but I can see alot of DLC content coming for this game.

One of the best things I like is ALL THE WEAPONS

I can't wait to play this in co-op with my son...there are alot of laughs in store.

My wife watched my son play alittle and I think she too is going to give it a try.

I will post some screenshots of the game later.

Played for a few days, got to level 31. While it IS a fun game, it seems very repetitive.

Yeah, I stopped after reaching level 24 as Mordecai and level 14 as Brick.
Multiplayer is pretty sweet though, I setup a small LAN between my bros, myself and a couple of mates. Gotta love the weapon variety

I still don't like how the game actually looks though. And for gods sake, what's with all the 'post apocalyptic' games that've been released recently? far out...
I'm getting tired of all the barren wastelands and explosion-marked territories. Give me some Oblivion style maps again!

i am really considering buying this game, i kinda want to have people to play with though. Not many of my friends play pc games *they all pretty much play console games) and the ones that do play pc games either play really crappy ones, or dont have this game...i only know one person that plays this game (overlord from T-F. he already tried to get me to buy this game....) I'm not sure if i would like the game though, really not my usual type....the graphics are kinda weird too, i can't really tell if i like them or hate them.

yhea. the graphics are pretty strange. but i may pick it up. i know a guy who can get it for me for 1/2 price
