Borderlands had the single worse ending of any modern game IMO. I was so fucking disappointed by it it killed the entire experience for me. I was pissed because I had already purchased the zombie DLC and after I beat the game I never touched it again. The ending was so bad that I felt cheated by the developers. It just felt lazy.
Fallout had its weird moment but i never felt cheated by the game.
The only redeeming factor for borderlands was the multiplayer aspect. The game was fun to play with a chum. It would have been miles better though if the quests were not the same repetitive garbage every time.
Its not all bad though the weapons feature in Borderlands was nice. I loved finding unique and bizarre weapons. But you can find unique weapons in Fallout as well.
I cannot express enough how much the ending of borderlands disappointed me though. I am not going to spoil it for anyone, but damn. Some of you must agree with me.

I wasn't asking which one was better. I was asking why you would think people compare them. They have nothing alike.Pirate Kitty said:
Fallout 3, if you forgive the bit at the end when the story throws up a lung, and if you find the retro music fun whilst you shoot a man's testicles off in slow motion with a missile launcher.
Not really. Mario is a mixture of dice rolling and shit. While Resident Evil is a survival horror. Even though Resident Evil has slowly started to reside lately. So no...not really like comparng those games.Pirate Kitty said:
Fallout 3 is an open world singleplayer game. It's for you.
Borderlands is an open world game that I've always found more fun with more people. It's for you with your friends.

Cannot really compare them. Ones a story set in the post-apocalyptic wasteland and the others more or less treasure hunting for gun porn.
Fallout is an RPG with shooter elements.
Borderlands is on the other end of the spectrum, a FPS with role-playing elements.

Borderlands isn't really linear though. It is more linear than Fallout 3 is, but compared to say Call of Duty or Halo, it isn't linear at all.Estocavio said:
Anyway, Borderlands vs Fallout 3 is like Killing Floor vs Left 4 Dead.
The comparison is odd since Fallout focuses on a story while Borderlands is esstienally 'do this and we'll pay you.' Personally, I absolutely love Borderlands. It's style is much better, it's actually funny unlike the humor Fallout fails at, it's guns are so overblown ridiculous that shooting anything is enjoyable, and Gearbox supports a reat deal and doesnt put out buggy games and their DLCs work from day one.
no I think there is more then an entire year between them.Veterinari said:
my friend said he wasn't going to get borderlands because it looked like a fllout3 clone to him. I felt like hitting him for saying that but instead I spend a weak telling him why he was wrong. now he has the game and he loves it.
In my opinion, it goes like this.
Borderlands:
+Better gameplay.
+Better weapon systems
+Better loot system
+Better equipment customization
+Better bossfights
+Vehicles
+Multiplayer co-op and PVP
+Cheap re-spec
+Action akills
-Almost nonexistent story
-Way more repetitive
-No separate save system
-Lack of a proper difficulty selection system
Fallout 3:
+Better story (with Broken Steel anyway)
+Better add-ons
+Save anywhere
+Godlike endgame character
+VATS
+A few creepy areas
+Perks
-EXP doesn't scale well with difficulty of killing enemies (EX: Talon Mercs give the same amount of EXP as Super Mutant Masters despite the latter having way more health)
-No re-spec
-Slow-ass movement speed
-Crappy boss fights
-A bit more than it's fair share of glitches
-very easy (even on very hard) with good equipment
-No iron sights
All that said, they're both good games and it is difficult to choose between them, so I'm not going to.

They aren't even the same genre. Borderlands is a first person shooter. Fallout 3 is an RPG. Just because it has guns, and you can play it in a first person perspective doesn't mean it's an FPS. I often find people who didn't like Fallout tried to play it like an FPS.
