When I first saw this game i thought it looked like a great game. This was way back when they first announced it. I was excited for this game until a read a while back that they were changing the graphics. When I saw the pictures of the new cartoonish graphics I was pissed. I dont know why they did this but it was really a letdown for me. They have cool things in this game, like the million different weapons or whatever, vehicles, enimies etc. All hope is lost on this game for me.

Thankfully Rage is coming out. It already looks better then the original idea of Borderlands. This game is going to be amazing. I think Rage will outdo Borderlands big time, and will be better then Fallout 3. Fallout 3 was another great game but Rage is going beyond Fallout 3. For one, Rage will have multiplayer which might have to be on a second disc, thats how big this game is going to be.

It's hard to compare. Rage is a shooter through and through. Borderlands is a Shooter/RPG hybrid. Fallout 3 is an RPG with FPS elements.

The art style of Borderlands puts it past Rage just for starters

Borderlands is bringing something new to the table, that gets my vote

That's true I prefer something different instead of the incredibly "original" realistic graphics that most games seem to have nowadays. I miss the graphics from older games they were always so awesome.

Why not at least rent the game? Seriously when I'm enjoying a game it can be ugly as sin yet it can still be a lot of fun.

You're not really going to know if either is better than the other until you play through the game yourself. Fallout 3, Borderlands, Rage are all just variations on a post apocalyptic shooter/rpg. A lot of it is just going to come down to personal preference I bet, and I loved Fallout 3 and the other 2 both look good from what I've seen so far.

Not at all

Rage looks like the same old thing.

Borderlands on the other hand looks perfect, not a pixel out of place and nothing else looks like it this gen

Borderlands by far is the superior looking game

Agreed. Also, why are the majority of games this gen filled with gun metal grey and dirt brown? And blood red.

You know the kind of graphics I don't like? The ones that kick me in the groin, box my ears, and then urinate on my open wounds (jellyfish stings notwithstanding); basically, graphics are only important if they hinder gameplay. To be vehemently against a game is pretty weird and unproductive. Or perhaps it's the most ballin' and forward thinking thing on the planet... you might just be on to something there, guy :) Nah I don't really care how you live your life, I'm just bored at work wanting to talk about about video games lol.

I think Borderlands looks better with the Cell Shading, but the above comment is right, you are going to miss out on a great game.

What are you talking about? Cartoon network is AWESOME!!!! I think you're forgetting that, though comparatively one may be better than the other, ultimately they BOTH rock balls compared to what we used to have to deal with.

This is my opinion. Thats cool that you like Borderlands, it will be a good game but it would always bother me playing the game with the graphics I hate.

But, if it has gameplay and story, then grpahics don't really matter. I was able to play hours of Fallout 3, despite my hating the graphics.

I think the graphic change was a right move by Gearbox. It's colorful, fresh, and cell shade isn't used much. I'll pick it up on day one.

Something tells me you wouldn't like TF2 even though it is one of the best shooters to date...

As for rage it is a TB in size (1000 GB) so it should be big even if that is decompressed.

That is just insanity right there, I swear to god this game is going to blow up every console and computer it touches. :o

Exactly. I didn't know what this game was until the graphics change.
The new art direction they chose is SO, SO much better than the original direction.

Getting both as well, tho personally i think Borderland will have the biggest replay value. Simply because of the 4 players coop.

the graphics are so much better then they were before, before it was so generic. as a comic book fan, im loving these new graphics, because its completey unique and original, and im glad they took the risk. borderlands graphics are fun, instead of the dreary dark, cliche normal graphics

I love the new graphics in Borderlands, they're awesome! I don't see how a games graphics could in any way not make me buy a game that looks amazing. I think Borderlands will blow Rage out of the water.

And as a side note, the graphics in Rage seem to be a little cartoon-ish, whereas Borderlands is cell shaded, like a comic book(well, a stereotypical comic book).
