Two million travel to the Borderlands

Damn good?

Its goddamned awesome!

that's if they follow pandora's story, if they follow the characters it could go into another planet, after all, the girl tells you she'll be looking out for you.

I've had my copy rented since the week it came out. I havent brought myself to be able to return it. THis is the 2nd game that I've bought DLC for a rented game before(first being last years prince of persia), and I'll prolly keep it until the next DLC comes out and buy that to...

should have bought this from the beginning... to late now though... already have platinum trophy, and on my 3rd playthrough...

I agree with the weak story argument. But to me the process of traveling and leveling up is an integral part of most RPG. Now, does it have to? That's an entire different question.

As for DA:O, I like it very much, and you'll get a better story by multiple magnitude, but believe me when I say that there's as much traveling and leveling up involved.

Tru dat, and not to mention if someone managed to glitch out of the ending (happened to me twice), they were able to nab all the decent items for themselves (of which there were like.. two? One artifact and a purple gun (on the second playthrough)).

The ending was a bit of an anticlimax, considering that the game builds you up up and up for a vault with some stupidly strong guns, and women and whathaveyou.. And you get nothing! I would've prefered the ability to enter the vault, nab a few random guns and maybe a new specific gun and then get mauled by that big son of a gun.

Yeah, the ending was a complete joke, no two ways about it. I mean, right from the first three minutes of the game, it was all about GET WHAT IS IN THAT VAULT, and you'd get regular reminders from your ever-present observer about how close you were getting to your goal, but when you're finally there... bluh. Sure, the story threw out some half-assed reasoning to explain the anti-climatic wrap up, but I was pretty dissatisfied.

That said, the shootout I had in Old Haven playing as Mordecai was pretty epic in scale. Definitely the high point of the game for me, and worth the price of admission.

Agreed. Old haven served as a climactic moment from a gameplay perspective, it was really fun blowing through that with a friend. I heard that they were interested in revisiting old haven in dlc, so hopefully we can get more of that style of shootout soon.

Wow, Borderlands had a dénouement. That is more than many games can say.

"Thousands of years ago the Eridians were living the good life on multiple planets including Pandora. One day, the Destroyer appears on Pandora presumably creating the landscape we see in the game. The Eridians gather the bulk of there forces on the planet for a final showdown. In a last ditch effort to stop the Destroyer they lock him away in Pandora's vault sacrificing everything in the process turning it into a prison. The Survivors then stash the remnants of there civilization in the vault on Prometheus. Centuries later it is discovered by the Atlas corporation and the "gold rush" for alien tech is sparked. The remaining Eridians knowing this hijack a Hyperion satellite and place the Guardian Angel ai inside to make sure the that vault/prison is never opened."

This seems likely. I don't think that all of the vaults hold treasure like Prometheus' vault. It was just a rumor, basically.

Give it time for MW2 to calm down (should be within weeks if they don't get the glitches fixed) and your games will go back up.

True, or as soon as the new Bank DLC comes out I reckon.

While I don't think it is an incredible set up, gameranger holds most of the Borderlands population. I thought most people knew this by now.

I loved the look and combat of Borderlands a lot more than Fallout 3. Borderlands' FPS bit is A+, now I think they should flesh out their RPG bits. Dialogue instead of mission summary screens would be a nice start, I think.

Did you say weapon variety in Fallout? You can't be serious. There is a reason why there are more weapon mods for Fallout than just about any other game.

I'm under the assumption that with this game and its millions of weapons it will turn out to be a bunch of guns that work the same but have different skins. Is that right?

***SPOILER***


He's not exactly resting or peaceful...

Hungry, though... REALLY hungry.

the game starts off slow, give it a bit. Level up and get better weapons. You'll be hooked.

Kind of like a first person Too Human.

Loved the art style and humor but zero story and repetitive gameplay left me bored.
