Borderlands

Lachrymose · 2009/10/24, 09:50

I just preordered Borderlands on Steam. Seems like it's gotten pretty good reviews, and it'll be a fun co-op game to play while I wait for L4D2. For anyone that doesn't know about it, it's basically a co-op (up to 4 ppl) FPS with RPG elements, but it also has FFA or team-based arena PvP. You can join in and drop out with other players throughout the quest line, much like Diablo, I would assume. There are a ton of quests, lots of weapons, vehicles, etc etc.

If anyone's getting it and wants to play sometime, let me know. ;p (no noobs plz)

I was already planning to go buy this game at the mall in like 2 hours, but... for xbox, sorry ^^

The game looks very cool indeed.

Bought it for my 360 yesterday, I'm lvl 11 atm and so far it's been a blast! If you're a loot-whore you're gonna love this game

Ewww... console gamers! Blasphemers! Die! :@

And no, I won't play with you Lachry, I don't like playing co-op with noobs, they slow me down.

This.

I've heard of Borderlands, but I've been too busy to play anything besides MO!

The only game I might make an exception for is Dragon Age: Origins. That looks good (and it's on the PC and console, guess which one I'll get).

I remember seeing something about this in GameInformer like 3-4 years ago, and thought it looked amazing.

But, a few months ago they announced the huge graphics overhaul and everything looked ridiculously cartoony and I lost interest

And I also saw videos for Dragon Age: Origins on the Xbox 360 home thing, but the graphics looked like Two Worlds...<-

DAO looks and plays a lot better on the PC. Reason being that it's actually a PC game that was ported to the consoles, not the other way around. This is starting to get rather rare these days...

When I ordered Borderlands yesterday, there was a discount offer for those who bought Borderlands + preordered Dragon Age: Origins.

So I checked it out. But I wasn't convinced by the gameplay vids. :s
I guess it reminded me of Baldur's Gate 2 too much, which I didn't like for some reason (against all odds really) and never finished (I never played BG 1).

I have been waiting for this game (and dragon age). BL for PC hits store shelves tomorrow. I already have it preordered.
