Trouble getting into Borderlands

Well i've been playing borderlands for a good 2 hours now, and i just can't seem to get into the game, i haven't discovered a main plot yet, i'm finding the missions repetitive and the game just kinda dropped you into the action from the start.

But people have told me its really good and they're going for multiple play-throughs but i honestly don't see why, can anybody explain borderlands to me?

ahh kk i'll have to convince my friends to buy it lol they better be ready for the ' its the best game ever' trick

I hated Multiplayer(Unless i was host) It always lagged, and its not my connection because I can connect Pretty Well.

I enjoyed the game both single-player and multi-player, but the game was built to be played in co-op with other 3 friends, in my opinion.

I think you will either like it or not right off the bat. ALL the fun comes from shooting things, that's it.

Don't bother trying to follow the plot too much. Basically you're just looking for the Vault and that's all the story you need. If you're not playing with a friend the game can get pretty boring. If you have a brother or friend that comes over often or anything like that you can play split-screen and that's probably the best way to play. You can play online too and that's not bad if you know the people you're playing with. If you do random games you might get stuck with loot-snatchers who pick up every single item they can and that takes out a lot of the fun. This game was made with co-op in mind so if you're not doing co-op, then you're doing it wrong! :P

if you don't like it aleady, chances are you never will, 95% of the game is having fun shooting (sometimes stupid) things and getting loot, and the atmosphere is like the Road warrior with some twisted humor, another thing is the mission are varied : sometimes just rush in an underground base, sometimes a camp on the side of a cliff, sometimes a grotto with mutant beasts ...
