Borderlands Message Board  

Well, I`ve been playing for like 3 hours and would like to share my first impressions.

The game reminds me of Hellgate: London a lot. Generic loot, general RPG elements, open world... BUT with a much better storyline and a lot of humor. The little robot is hilarious, kinda like Wall-E character, if you`ve seen that movie. ^^

A mix of Solo and Co-op gameplay is great! I`ve been soloing so far, it`s all ok, but something seems to be missing... Companions, that is. I would strongly suggest that You play with at least one friend. A party member would surely make fights more tactical and easier since all encounters include at least 2 enemies or more. Not to mention that the game auto-adjusts difficulty settings according to player number and level, thus providing more challenge and a much better loot.

The only thing that bugs me is the item capacity limit(12). I am forced to either return to the closest shop constantly, or to simply drop the less expensive goods.

Well I like the game's visuals. Beeing a hardcore FPS fan, I am definately going to get this game. I am looking forward to some reviews though, as money does not grow on trees.

You get backpack upgrades as you go further in :P Yea it is kinda annoying but at the same time, makes sense - Hell, tbh - I wanna see a guy carrying 800 rounds of ammo, etc. with 7 guns and ****loads of other items lol. It's nice.

Honest -
This game is nothing like manhunt >.>;; If it does get banned I'll be amazed.

a d I find it funny since every gaming site rates it pretty high because of everything it does.

Not only that, but the graphics are far from good - Their cartoony which adds a bit more to the humor part and yea, you really should look up info about the game before saying it was bad .

i dont know what to add to your first post, i agree completely. i haven't tried it in co-op yet. but i hope that i as you say provide a challenge compared to single player. cause its very very easy.

and yeah that robot made me laugh hard =)

and the equipment limit is just stupid, i finde my self throwing weapons and items allover the place. i know there is a "human limit" but still the characters have nothing to do with human =)

I've been playing this game on 360 for the past week and with almost 55 hours played, I must say that the experience gets much better with at least one other person playing alongside. I picked up the PC version earlier (gotta love Wal-MART, and not just for the weird people that go, and work, there) and look forward to modding the crap out of it.

I have already started poking around with tSearch and have found several addresses with which to increase, exp, money, etc. I am having a little bit of trouble with infinite ammo and no reload. I'm not good enough to actually make a trainer, I will leave that up to these fine folks, but it is nice to at least poke around and see what you can find (pun not withstanding that is).

edit: So far, the funniest thing that I have seen is the intro to Nine-Toes. If you have seen it, then you know what I'm talking about. Also, has anyone else noted the robot's name, Claptrap? Isn't that an old colloquialism for Working Girl?

I like this game, its different.

The only thing that bugs me is the cartoon sytle "thick black outline" on everything.

I'm all for something different, but it gets on my nerves a bit..

But I will overlook it as the story and gameplay is great...

I first misunderstood it to be for Saw 3, I edited the very next second I posted it. Amazed how you manage to read the whole thing so fast.

hahahaha It's cool I was like wow wtf? XD; Comparing it to Manhunt :P - Yea I saw that right after I posted it was like vanished I was like...****, To lazy to reedit XD.
