Borderlands

[Arcane1129]

Picked it up for PS3, and I must say, it's one of the most addicting games I've played in quite a while. Definitely recommend it to everyone with a 360, PS3, or a PC that can run it.

Anyone else have it?

For those who don't know about it, it's a first person shooter with an emphasis on loot collecting (like Diablo or something), and there is both online and offline co op.

I got it for PC. Anyone want to co-op, send me a PM and I'll add you on Steam.

It's a lot of fun. Very addicting.

Got it for PC but I keep getting an error saying something about General Protection Fault. It's a pretty common error for a lot of PC users, but no one has come up with a solution so far as far as I know.

I can play a few minutes before the game crashes.

They'll most probably make a patch for that soon.

So far, everybody on the Mecca likes this game. I don't like the cell shaded graphics (I think it suits more for platformer games), but I put gameplay over graphics any day. I think I'll give it a try.

I hope you're right.

It doesn't seem to work for everyone, but it helped some.

Thanks but I've tried every one of those "solutions". Just gonna wait untill a patch comes along.

Shame, I love them. Good to hear that's not putting you off, though.

What class did you guys end up picking? I went hunter (Mordecai) but I'm sure I'll make a file for everyone eventually.

Heh, I started with Mordecai as well. I always forget to use the bird. It's basically a 1 hit kill, but it always slips my mind.

Ive seen a lot of the game, im on the video game sites everyday and i havent heard a single thing about the story.. is there any story? or is it just a massive shooting game?

There is a story, but it takes a backseat to the shooting and collecting, which is what the game is all about anyway.

I was the same way at first, but now I have the hawk's damage all the way up, it heals me 28% of the damage given, and it dazes enemies.

I'm working toward it being able to attack multiple people and reducing its cooldown time, which will be awesome.

I got it on Xbox...
Co-op is great

Mordecai is the worst in co-op...apparently he gets a less share of the loot.

 

[ironheart]

gonna buy this for sure!

For all the fellow Aussies here looking to get Borderlands on steam... just a heads up. there has been a mix-up

 

[curtisymoo]

it's great

but the nultiplayer/online is bugging out for me and my friends
forwarding ports etc does nothing

 

[dilatedmuscle]

im not a loot whore so it probably wont be a good buy for me. as far as shooters are concerned, im interested in MW2 and Battlefield Bad Company 2... im also really excited for Mass Effect 2 and if i had money i wouldve gotten Ballad of Gay tony the other day... but i gotta save up for MW2 lol

 

[Hypocrisy86]

got it

Yes that's true. It's because he is a sniper and his skills cater to long range. When you kill someone and they drop good loot, chances are you are far away.
