Borderlands

The rpg and fps had a baby. Over 17 million guns. 4 different classes to play as, each with different skills and skill trees. Up to 4 players in co-op mode, with any mix of split-screen and online players.

Looks like it has way too many guns, weapon hoarders like myself would love this game

thechild · 10-17-2009, 11:30 PM

I've already played it, I reached level 20 after several hours, and it's amazing. The guns can be overwhelming when tons of great guns are dropped and found all the time but you have only so much inventory space.

You need to stop posting.

I watched a thing on G4 about Borderlands, and I have to say it looks amazing. The way they set up the gameplay system makes everything run and look great, and the fact that they started making the game with the multiplayer aspect of it in the front of their minds blows me away, it's rare for a game that isn't strictly online to do that.

Going to buy it

It looks great and an FPS RPG games, damn, I got a hard on. Not enough games that incorperates these two together.

Wanna finish Fallout 3 first though, also, gotten back to playing Rainbow six Vegas and bought rainbow six vegas 2. For game points really though.

thechild · 10-20-2009, 10:00 PM

I beat it. GREATEST GAME EVER. I love the final cutscene with the claptrap. I'm working on playthrough 2 and yeah I'm addicted.

Kraezymann · 10-20-2009, 10:03 PM

How did you get it early when its not supposed to be out until today?

nunocart · 10-21-2009, 11:39 AM

yey dude, the war smilie is wright the game only came out today and dont make excuses cause it was a world release so dont lie

MrGiggles · 10-21-2009, 11:58 AM

I've got a friend whose boyfriend works at GameStop. She got it early. Not early enough to beat it or anything, but a good 12 or so hours early.

Prime8 · 10-21-2009, 01:04 PM

I thought this game looked like some stupid Mercenaries knock-off, but after reading/watching some reviews, I actually want to try this out.

Really? I used to work at one and if we broke streetdate, we would be fined. I mean if he was allowed then cool, but I thought it was for all the stores. Oh well.

MalReynolds · 10-22-2009, 11:15 AM

It leaked for the 360 a week ago. 360 has a maaaajooor pirating problem going on right now.

I'm not exactly sure of the mechanics of what went down, but I assume you only get fined if you get caught.

Laharl · 10-22-2009, 01:40 PM

I work at a GameStop. Our District Manager makes rounds to all the stores the day before any major street dated game and checks our stock vs. the number of copies we're supposed to have.

Considering he does that literally the day before, I suppose some people might try to take a street-dated game home the night before, but all the guys where I work wouldn't do that anyway. Just not worth the risk when I could wait til 10 the next day (when we open and still 2 hours before I wake up anyway) and just get it then.

I know a guy who got fired for breaking street date. He did our in-store check out of X-Men Origins: Wolverine before street date. You have to log in that you did such a thing. District manager noticed it on the paper work. Dude was canned immediately.

MalReynolds · 10-22-2009, 01:44 PM

Are you guys supposed to refer to yourselves as 'a pawn shop, bascially?' Because I love my GameStop and everyone that works there is so chill.

Laharl · 10-23-2009, 12:59 AM

I try to build relationships with customers. I like to think that I could hang out with the vast majority of people who are regulars and it'd be a lot of fun.

And we are basically a pawn shop, just for video games. In fact, to trade stuff in to us here, you have to be over 18 because that's Nevada State law for pawn shops. If we're subject to the same laws, I guess we are then? Right? A = B, B = C, A = C, right?

I hate store credit though.
