Several weeks ago, one of my friends showed me Borderlands, and upcoming FPS RPG game from developer Gearbox. I was skeptical at first, but he talked me into it with the expansive world, Co-op and unbelievable amount of weapons. I've seen a couple of gameplay videos and the trailer and I think the game looks great.

I've heard it will have the expansive world like Fallout 3, which will be good because I need a game that will last me a while and that will still offer new things to do. I especially like how the guns are almost mixed and matched (my personal favorite : The scoped semi-auto assault rifle[like an M14 w/acog] that reloads like a revovler) and that there will always be new things to do and see w/ or w/out your friends.

Another interesting thing is that you can upgrade and change your players so two people can play as the same character but can be utterly different in strengths and weaknesses.

So, your reward for getting this far is this question, are you getting Borderlands, and if so, what games would you pick Borderlands over (like, would you rather get ODST, MW2 or Borderlands, splinter cell: conviction, Assasins Creed:2, just to name a few).

P.S. Why do the characters in the game have such odd names. My friend who told me about it was getting all pissed 'cause he's got a real thick british accent(like the Queen's English) and can't pronounce some of the names. LOL, He really stands out in LA.

This is one of the few games I'm actually excited about. The new art style actually looks very good in-game.

Yes it does, and the decapitation makes it look soo much sweeter.

I'm actually a tad skeptical about the game. On the one hand, there are people throwing it praise left and right. On the other hand, there are people who just don't care about it.

The game looks interesting, I'll give it that, but I think I'll have to wait and see before I decide if it's worth buying.

I've only seen a bit, but the bit that I've seen looks awesome...I will probably look into it more now that I have a PC that can actually play games...I definitely like the art style though...Going to be keeping a close eye on it in the near future...

We've had a few Borderlands threads lately.

As someone who's been committed to the awesome that is Borderlands since... awhile ago, I'll be buying this on day one. The only game that's more important to me is Mass Effect 2, but it isn't coming out 2010 I believe.

Ok just watched the trailer and it looks... amazing. I just got really excited for this game. Another thing I love is they have a sense of humor which is something we don't see much in games. It just got added to my games to buy list.

Any game with 87 bazillion guns is good enough for me.

This and The Old Republic are the only two MMOs that I am interested in playing. Borderlands seems like it's shaping up to be pretty unique in the MMO world. Plus, if it has a Fallout vibe to it, them I'm definitely there. Love post apocalyptic worlds :D

EDIT: 'Cause I'm dumb and said Badlands and not Borderlands.

Now correct me if I'm wrong but isn't Borderlands a Role Playing Shooter with 4 player co-op; not an MMO?

Still looks great though.

It certainly looks good, but I wouldn't buy it until I know it's good.
I'd rent it without hesitation, though.

who says i'll have to pick over anything?

from what i've seen, the game looks excellent though; i love customization so this will be a must have for me (however this doesn't mean i won't be getting other games). damn proletarians!

I believe you mean 87 bazillion guns and counting.

Seriously though, they actually lost count with how many guns they have, last count was a couple million!

Not saying you gotta choose, I'm just trying to get a feel for where Borderlands ranks among the other new titles by saying IF you had to choose.

Finding all those is going to be a *****.

It looks interesting, but its too bad every gun is gonna have such little difference that you can't even tell if you have a different gun or not.

It looks interesting. Like a more dynamic Fallout 3. Bit merrier, though, whihc is never a bad thing. Will definitely rent, at least.
