Topic: Borderlands

I haven't even went online with it yet. I'm at work now and only had a little bit of time to play it. I got my character to level 7 in 1.5 hours.

There is single player and you can do the missions alone, offline. It felt like an MMORPG without all the other people hoping around. It looked like even in single player a friend could jump in to your party at anytime. The enemies appear to scale to fit the size of a party, seeing as how I'm just 1 guy and there would be 1 to 4 enemies coming at me at once - unless it was a mission like "Kill 6 of the ..." There is not much of a story this far into the game. Kill, level up, collect and meet new people. Supposedly, it picks up at the end. There looks like there are a few different types of online play, 2 to 4, something like that. I didn't check any of them out yet. The player that you use in single player though you can use in multiplayer games it appears.

No problem, Chicken, just wish I were more helpful, it's real fun so far. I like the not so serious tone to it.

THIIIS GAME IS AMAZING! It's...I can't even describe it. It's one of the most engaging games I've ever played. Just played for a couple hours online.....got a soldier to level 9.

Seriously, if you own any "real" console( )/PC, this game should be a no-brainer. Absolutely spits in the face of every other half-assed attempt at cel-shading. And yes--the music rocks too.

What system you have it for swerd_murd, or is yours the PC version?

Sounds awesome, y2josh. I might pick this up this weekend. Don't get sick of it before then...we'll play online!

Oh, also, how extensively can you customize your character?

EDIT: This offer obviously applies to Swerd as well, as long as he's got the Xbox version.

So far, not much. All it gave me option to do was change the name and change the colors of my shirt and pants.

Sounds good, Chicken. Got a Halloween party to go to Saturday from 7 pm til 10 pm, but I'll more than likely be free other than that.

Forgot to mention, there are 4 different people you can choose from. They all have their specialty. Melee, sniper, shotgun/rifle, then the woman is invisibility or something.

Swerd is Xboxless. I own the PS3 version...I'd be happy to console you next time your console explodes into a flame-spewing wreckage, but can't co-op with you unfortunately in the conventional sense.

And yeah, chick is sorta Spy-from-TF2-style.

Haha. It probably will happen and I definitely will want to cry on your shoulder

I just realized that's the first time I've ever used con-SOLE and CON-sole in the same sentence. That looks amazing.

Yeah, it took my slow mind a second to realize what you was talking about.

I'm in awe there aren't more people on here talking about/playing this game. It's pretty much "amazing", to me at least.

The game looks fun and I like the art design. Unfortunately I do not have a 360 or PS3 so I have to do without.

Waiting til Sunday to get this, so's I can take advantage of Best Buy's 3 for the price of 2 sale. Damn my frugal nature.

Don't blame you there. You're on my friends list, so if you ever want to play sometime I'm game.

Looks like the ad's are Borderlands today. Well... for now

L4D2's CG trailer I saw looked pretty awesome. I'm going to buy it as well.

hit 29 tonight. Also played split-screen co-op--FANTASTIC! Framerate hitches but overall it plays really smooth and allows for zooming/scrolling w/ right stick for full-sized, non-partner-interrupting menu-screen perusal. Very, very nice.

Sweet, I'm just about to be 16. Not got much play time, but it is Saturday and I shall be playing a while tonight and tomorrow. The only problems with the game I have noticed are the "Scavenger" missions. The last part on the sniper rifle took me at least 20 minutes to find and I walked right by it. The navigation thing was leading me to a rock and a hard place, literally (tee hee). But I love this game.

Curse my lack of money! I need this game .

I barely heard about this game. But after reading about it, count me in...on my PS3.
