Well, i'm just wondering what you guys think of borderlands...

At the moment I will get it because my friends are getting it and it looks fun, plus i love rpgs!

Just that sort of thing because I was questioning if it was innovative as they say after watching countless interviews and gameplay

The cartoony graphics have kinda steared me away from the game. I prefer the fallout look

I like the new graphic look, something different and unique to the genre. And 4 player coop, your character stays with you regardless of who's game you join, and thousands of weapons. If they can pull it off it will be fantastic.

Getting regardless, just looks amazing.

Borderlands is a posibility for me. I mean look at all the games coming out recently. It's all getting too serious. Where's the fun? Games now-a-days have become too serious and the gamer gets too serious and too much into it. I think Borderlands seems really fun and I miss plain ol' fun games! Plus....I love RPG's.

I really want to get Borderlands, I'm sure many of you dont like WoW but the skill trees remind me of that game and I used to play WoW alot, also if I can get my friends to get this, co op would be kick ass.

it's looking set to be a fantastic game,the blend of shooter and RPG really appeals to me and the random generation of weapons,terrain and missions will provide a huge lifespan for this game. So yes,im really looking forward to this game

As someone wrote onthe BL board: "Living breathing concept art > Gritty shooter #1475"- HarveyTheHammer. So many games coming out this year are a lot more of the same thing (cod:mw2, halo:ODST, assassin creed 2), but its good having a new (and original) IP.

I trust Gearbox and they're becoming, I think, one of my favourite developers. People have to understand, the game didn't really look like Fallout before the art style change. It still had cartoony looking characters that had no distinctive look. It didn't look right. Now it has personality, for better or for worse.

But I'll be buying this (on PC, though) because you really can't go wrong with co-op, and anything influenced even partially by Firefly.

Definitely one to watch. I hadn't seen much about it apart from the video on the Marketplace, but I think the graphics have changed a lot since then. The idea behind it sounds very good, with a truly massive number of weapon variations - current magazine preview has the number at over 16 million. Now we just have to see if the gameplay is there and how fun it is to play.

I definetly liked the way it was originally better but, I've warmed up to the idea of the game not taking itself too seriously and the new art style.

I think the artsyle is a nice change of pace, but for the actual game I'm keeping an eye on it though not expecting anything super amazing.
