Borderlands

[Darren S]

I'd get this for PC - but I might wait. Simply have got too much with Fallout 3 to complete and a few others. Plus, L4D2 will be here in a few weeks as well.

whats so bad about it?

 

[Damo_Sport]

it doesnt make you wanna sit there and play it.... assassins creed 2 was awesome.. so was god of war 3.. but baring in mind the queue for all games pretty big at times, never a big one for borderlands.... didnt jump out at you.. more of a rental then to buy it

 

[Plummer]

Would take a few rentals to complete it!

 

[snick01]

anyone had a good go at this yet? cant decide to make a purchase or not.

 

[tyranical]

Disagree with guy who said it was s**t, the onyl thing thats a bit s**t is the ending its a bit disappointing (but i think it leads into another game), the game itself imo is awesome, thousands of different weapons etc, multiplayer is awesome (you work together to complete the SP basically but more people = harder monster = better loot), the SP is alot longer than most games these days it took me a good while to complete although that was because it had alot of "fluff" missions that just waste time but get you some nice weapons n stuff.

I'd highly recommend it tbh.

Completed it once and halfway through a second time, got all the achievements without too much hassle too!
Would defo recommend it!
Especially for co-op!

 

[snick01]

gd gd, might go game monday and get this then, really like the look of it, just afraid it may be abit shallow

 

[Chris V6 255]

I love it!!!! Rented it from Blockbuster for a week & managed to bag 550 achievements.
Gonna buy it when Ive got some spare cash, the new downloadable content looks cool too

Hmmm - I'm not too convinced by Borderlands, tbh. I've only tried single player so far, which I guess is its major failing, but I'm a little pissed that I have to start messing around port-forwarding, when PC games are so past that crap now.

As for the game itself, it doesn't have the instant appeal of say Team Fortress 2, but neither does it have anywhere near the depth of Fallout 3. I tried to compare it to L4D, but at least with that, I enjoy the single player campaigns with the AI for assistance.

It reminds me a lot of the way Hellgate-London plays. Plenty of potential, scope and options to be had, but ultimately it feels bland to me.

I'm not going to completely condemn it yet until I've given online a bash - but I can't see me commiting to it much. Shame really.

[shadowsun]

Can vouch for this game being superb. Really good fun! My fave weapon are pistols with scopes on them.

May I add I have the PC version.

 

[KDF]

Bought this game and MW2 but not yet had a chance to play either.. still playing Fallout3 !

So its not as good as Fallout 3 but still a decent game ? I just liked the idea of a coop being able to jump in and out throughout the game.

 

[Henry]

a friend recommended me this and i've rented it - initially unimpressed, but it's now starting to come alive - takes a few hours to warm to it

might actually buy this one

can i ask you a quick question? i'm lvl.22 at the minute and think i'm close to leaving the second area (with skagzilla in it) - how much more's left? just wondering if i should rent for another week, or buy

really enjoying this - very addictive

You still have quite a bit left to do. Plus you can play the whole thing again with everything on high levels.

 

[tyranical]

Its a longggg game. By the 2nd area, you mean you've only just got into the 2nd zone, the one with the buggies going round all over the place? arid badlands or something? If thats the case, you've got a LONG way to go, i was about lvl 40 by the time i finished it. It really depends, if you do all the side quests etc which i did, it goes on forever.

 

[BioHzrd]

your better buying it mate !

 

[Henry]

thanks

think i'll have a hunt around for a cheap copy

 

[BioHzrd]

Mate of mine got it for somin like £26 in Sainsburys

[Louism]

Mine will be waiting for me when i get home, how is the online and what is the onlijne like? COD Halo or what?

 

[AK]

It's like Halo IIRC you play Co-op online...

I never got it to work with Bio and Plummer for some reason, wouldn't let me connect.

maybe that's why i don't like it as much cause i only managed it on Single player mode?

 

[BioHzrd]

Bought the DLC the other night still havent played it though will give it a go before i head to pub !!!

Id say so its a right laugh in co op !

 

[Plummer]

Great on co-op!

I got the DLC the day it came out and still haven't touched it! :rasp:

 

[Darren S]

WhyTF do you have to enable port forwarding on the multiplayer PC version? That's like giving a new owner of a car a hand-crank rather than an ignition key.

Fcuking lazy b***ards. What, because it doesn't use the sacred XBox Live, online PC players have to configure it themselves?

Fcukwitts. :dead:

[McBunny]

only just started playing this on friday level 20 at the moment its a bit easy so far (apart from sledge i found him a bit of a challenge)

anyway anything i should look out for ?

 

[Lee]

I'm on my second play through with some of the lads at work during lunch. I should hit level 40 today. I'm not so sure I'd enjoy playing it on my own though, part of the fun is 4 of us and a bit of banter.

I think that's the key to this game. On your own, it gets boring quite quickly I think. Going co-op would no doubt add to the enjoyment factor - as long as you could get multiplayer working in the first place.

[McBunny]

i dont see why id need to play it with anyone else it would just make it too easy wouldnt it
