Re: Borderlands
 

I don't usually find these sort of videos funny, but that is fucking classic.

Re: Borderlands
 

So what is this? A game with a lot of guns?

Re: Borderlands
 

If that's classic, you might as well choke me with a 360 controller cord right now, because I didn't laugh at all.

One man's treasure I guess...

Re: Borderlands
 

I've got a few friends that's picking this up mainly for the co-op feature. Of course one of the main selling points you see is the "81 Brazillion Weapons" which of course sounds insane. But after reading one's post about the 'CONS" mentioning you're stuck after 6 hrs with the same weapon something doesn't sound right. If you're not going to be able to constantly upgrade what's the point of having "81 Brazillion Weapons"?

Re: Borderlands
 

The endless supply of weapons is one of the reasons I am going to skip this until it drops in price. There is such a thing as overkill. Also, while I love the idea of endless enemies to kill, I hate the idea of them instantly re-spawning if you just take a few steps away...another reason I will wait.

Re: Borderlands
 

Did that mean after 6 hours you're stuck with whatever you pick up - but you can pick up different weapons? (ie no customization or alteration or modification of the weapons). Or does it truly mean that you actually continue to use the same weapon, and is that a choice or are you locked into it?

I was interested in Borderlands, then I read an interview or something where it was apparently FPS first, RPG second, and I'm not a huge FPS fan. Still, it looks energetic enough, and I like the screens/videos I've seen so far, and I also like offline co-op, so I'll keep an eye on it.

Re: Borderlands
 

There is no customization at all on the weapons. From what I can pick up, there are guns that drops from mobs (ala World of Warcraft or any mmo really)

Re: Borderlands
 

Usually when a game says "200,000 weapons," they mean that there are a limited number of weapon types (say 10 or so -- pistol, shotgun, machine gun, etc.) that come in a variety of flavors stuck together at random ("The +5 pistol of armor piercing," "The +3 shotgun of electricity," "The +4 chainsaw of poison," etc.)

Re: Borderlands
 

Kotaku has some impressions HERE.

Re: Borderlands
 

Here's some other reviews just hitting...

IGN
Giant Bomb
1UP

Re: Borderlands
 

I'm sold.

Looks like a mindless, fun time. I haven't played one of those in awhile.

Re: Borderlands
 

ok...I changed my mind, this game does look good. To bad NO one has any sort of sale on this other than Canada.

Re: Borderlands
 

I think you all have talked me into it. I'll try to hit TRU tomorrow for it.

Re: Borderlands
 

I'm going to wait for a few impressions. If people here are enjoying it, I might pick it up.

Re: Borderlands
 

I'm fine with lots of different tweaks on lots of different kinds of weapons. As i said I'm not a hardcore FPSer but especially given the theme of Borderlands, I think I prefer the "loot" way of getting new/different/differently featured weapons over tweaking and modifying existing ones. The Diablo loot junkie in me.

Re: Borderlands
 

Yeah. That's kind of how I'm leaning right now. I'm on the fence with the game as is, but there are enough things that pique my interest. When in doubt, trust DVDTalk users!

Re: Borderlands
 

I've always enjoyed the grind aspect of any MMO that I've played, and it sounds like there's plenty of that here, so I'll likely pick this one up next week.

I'd like to finish Uncharted 2 before I get this, and hopefully this will keep me occupied until COD in a few weeks.

Re: Borderlands
 

Well Teamxbox gave it a good one....9.0. And yes one thing they mentioned...endless fun that's just a blast.

Good write up but honestly I'm still unsure. Something is bugging me about the game but just can't put my finger on it.....

Re: Borderlands
 

I couldnt pass up the $30 off for today only at Walmart deal.Not that i need a new game but hey a deal is a deal ;)

Re: Borderlands
 

It's $30 at Walmart today?

Re: Borderlands
 

In Canada it is. :(

Re: Borderlands
 

If it makes ya feel better it was $40.The regular price of new games here is $70 now.

Re: Borderlands
 

It makes me feel better because now I'm not compelled to enter a Walmart.
