Seriously. Am I the only one who thinks this game is garbage? I was pretty excited about it until it went cel-shaded, but even then I was still looking forward to it. I'm at level 26 and this effin' game makes me feel like I put in a day at the office. Go here, collect that, but don't go too far cause the guys are gonna respawn right away. It's like someone thought, "Hey Fallout 3 was okay, but there was way too much of a storyline. Oh, and too many locations and textures. Let's make a game just like it and take away everything that makes it fun." Alright. I'm done venting. Give me crap if you must.

Maybe I was a little over the top in my opinion of the game. The one thing I really don't understand about how they hyped this game is how they tried to sell the RPG elements as being a new feature to FPS. I mean, Fallout 3 was as much, if not more, of an RPG than this. Where I really lost it for the game is the repetitiveness of the missions. Seems like you're always collecting random crap or trying to kill a bigger version of whatever the dominant creature in the area is. This is what I get for starting this game right after Assassins Creed 2 and Uncharted 2.

1. Fallout 3 is more of an RPG because it is an RPG. Borderlands is an FPS/RPG hybrid, focusing on FPS.

2. They made the game like Diablo, where you loot like crazy to get "teh 1337 loot!!!!"

Here, I'll show where you lost me

I was pretty excited about it until it went cel-shadedAaaSS82

Considering it's one of the best looking games this gen and is oozing more style then Tim Gunn in a bear hug I have to say that you're not wrong but you're certainly in the minority about this game

I was misleading with that comment. I do like the cel-shading, it looks great, but I remember the first preview I saw in Game Informer and it had a much more destitute feel. Kinda Gears of War/Mad Max-ish.

Gears of War is one of the reasons they chose cel-shading. So many games this gen have gone for the "gritty, mud brown, gun metal grey filtered" look. They wanted to be unique.

I absolutely hated it too. Two of my friends loved it, so I gave in and bought. Huge mistake because I was bored the entire time and traded it in after about a week.

I liked the cel-shading. Made the game very unique. I think the game was great for a playthrough but then got boring. I made a beast level 50 hunter and now im done. But i liked it while it lasted.

well i did a thread that raised the question what was the biggest let down of Oct. and Nov. The majority of the people said it BoredToDeathLands. This game was my biggest let down this year, so you are not alone.

I thought it was a great game and I'm enjoying the DLC right now. It's only boring when playing it alone in my opinion at least.

It's like Diablo with guns...fun, addicting, and relaxing to play on a sleepless or lonely night. I love Fallout 3 also but I wish it had Borderlands' gunplay. And vice-versa, I wish Borderlands had more of a story and interesting people to meet like in Fallout 3. Besides, it probably is more fun playing with friends. Although I enjoy it alone since I have no friends who have Borderlands. They're all Modern Warfare 2 junkies which is cool with me since it's fun playing with them. I wish they liked Borderlands though.

Wow, its actually my second favorite game of the year, second only to Left 4 Dead 2. I never had a dull moment. Maybe its because I played the whole game (Second playthrough and DLC) with Chaos Cougar. I had a blast playing that game.

It was fun when I played with a friend,but once we got our characters to level 50,we really had no desire to ever go through the game another time with a new character.There's just no storyline or driving force to actually make you want to play again.I have to say it was disappointing for me.

Nah, the game is great. I'm probably going to pick up both DLCs by the time they're both out, come December 28th. But to each his own I suppose.

That's a fair and pretty good view on the game. But that's almost like every game, so that's not really a criticism. I don't think I can play Fallout 3 with another character again or Diablo II with every class.

One of my favorites this year.... Its great playing on Xbox Live with friends but when your not doing co-op it can get quite lonely.I have a friend who absolutely hated but with no big reasons.He just says "It got boring quick." which I dont count as a legitamate reason for the game being bad.Most people just dont give the game a chance and quit halfway through the game but after that its where the game really starts to be fun.I played my first and second playthrough with the same three friends both times so my advice is get a couple of friends who like the game start it up and have some fun!

I think the way they went with the graphic was smart. It was the first game that use the unreal engine that I would suck has good graphic since there is no texture popping. Mass Effect, The Last Remnant, Gears of War one And two all have the problem with the unreal engine texture popping.

The story in both Borderlands and Fallout 3 suck very bad.

they should've made the enemies more unique, as well as the vehicles, and the guns, and the missions the game sucks big time. it's such an overrated pile

I'm sorry, but you are wrong. The cel-shaded look doesn't bother me. Especially because it's not fun when games try to be too realistic. Fallout 3 and Oblivion are **** boring as hell, and give ZERO sense of direction for where you'd want to be to move things along. Borderlands fixed that. Fallout 3 also wanted to turn real-time combat into a turn-based pile of **** with that VATS system. Borderlands does not do that. Fallout 3 and Oblivion made it so that on top of having an appropriate level, you also had to mindlessly grind every possible skill to be able to get on with it. At least in Borderlands, I've only kept a balance on my weapon proficiencies because I want to do that. And my shooting skill at least has more involvement of whether I live through or die at particularly tough points like those endurance arena challenges that you are able to do. About the ONLY thing I can say negatively for borderlands (now that I got quite into it enough to be on Playthrough 2 with my first character) is that I always feel like there's never enough storage for me to carry all those guns I find along the way, especially nearing endgame.

The game wasn't a let down, it was good when it came out and everyone wanted it, just now everyone wants to sell it because yes it became so terribly repetitive and boring.

The games are completely different. You can't even really compare the two. Besides, the cell shaded graphics make the game different and not like any other ordinary game.

Borderlands is awesome. And it introduced me to Cage The Elephant who is now one of my favorite bands (but I have tons of favorite bands so that doesnt mean a whole lot lol) but the game was fun and they seem to be doing pretty good with DLC. Hopefully they'll have the storage locker in the next one or at least soon after. I hate getting rid of a good gun even if I know its for a better gun and I'll never use it anyways. Also, the experience completely changes depending on the classes you play with.

yeah i thought it was pretty solid game, especially when played online with others, but it did get old once I found some of the top weapons, it started to lose its challenge, so I traded it in for MW2 :)
