This game is looking good. Anyone getting it (on this forum) besides me? Role Playing Shooter is what the trailer calls it. I'm getting it on the 360. Gamertag is in my sig.

im thinking about it...lol i was watching tv just now (south park) and saw a commercial and went online to see if it was out/reviewed. looks kinda cool but it also looks like it could be terrible. it looks like its trying to jack fallout 3 a little IMO. But im really interested in it.

I actually thinks it's trying to parody Fallout, because of the comic-look and stuff like that

But yeah, I think I'm gonna get it

That's what I thought to, Vincir. I found this on Wikipedia.

"Official Xbox Magazine gave Borderlands 8.5/10. The review praised the scope of the game and the "ferociously over-the-top" combat, but criticized the implementation of enemy spawning and co-op as well as the inability to save from anywhere.

In the latest issue of the Australian game magazine Atomic MPC, Borderlands received a score of 91% (out of 100%) where the reviewer praised the games cell-shaded art style and its blend between a role-playing game and a first person shooter. The main criticism was towards in how the guns started to feel similar after awhile, and how the loot was a little bit too overwhelming, as the rest of the players' weapons practically felt useless compared to the new ones they found. The review concluded with a "HOT" symbol, and as a possible contender for the Game of The Year 2009."

Probably. Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 is coming out in November as well though. I could see it winning seeing that the first one did as well.

I liked Hellgate London so I preordered it together with three other people off Steam (4-pack = 25% discount, preorder = 10% discount, American paid for it = 30% discount, final price 23.60€ instead of 50€). All I'm really looking for is some big gun carnage, I'm not very picky.

Raincoat whore!

And it has a "Bazillion guns" lol

Well, it has random generation for them so I see it like HGL's loot.

@y2josh:
Correction! According to the commercial i saw last night, it has "87 BAZILLION GUNS".
That made me laugh to the point where i actually am considering picking it up now. Need to read up more on it.

She-Ra is awesome. If you believe otherwise, you are clearly wrong.
Urban Champion is GLORIOUS.

Keeping an eye on this one. It looks awesome, but I'll wait to hear from folks when it comes out. Fingers crossed!

Okay. I've had this game for about 1.5 hours of play time and I love it so far. Everything I thought it would be. The enemies are a bit repetitive at the start and the missions. But I'm going to believe GT's vid review and hope more enemies and mission types start popping up. I love it though. If it looks like a game you will like, you probably will.

Oh yeah, I love the music too!

How is it playing online? I've never really played online coop before...what's the community like. What do you expect the community to be like?

Is there any kind of single player experience available, or do you always need people? Also, is it always four people? No more, no less? Does your group of four get to interact with anyone else's group of four?

Sorry for all the questions...but I have trouble imagining how the game plays. Especially if it's as expansive as it looks. (150 quests?! Surely you won't always have the same 3 people available to help with ALL of them...)
