Is Borderlands Worth Renting?

[lvl9000_woot]

No, it's not worth renting.

ITS WORTH BUYING.

This.

Go do it Now! Now, now, now!!

I like the idea of the graphics, the fact that you'll never collect every single gun that's incorporated into the game itself without sitting in a bean bag chair eating cheetos naked for the rest of your life kinda gets my attention.

The game itself is fun the first time you play it but I doubt there's much replay value. I'm personally unable to finish the game a second time because of the inability to remove the supporting characters from the game.

Also, there are maybe 20 "base" models and some additional parts. Even "unique" weapons use the same model as any other gun of the type with only a special ability to make them different.(like a pistol with unlimited ammo, sure it does the same damage and looks exactly like the 30 other pistols you just sold, but hey, unlimited ammo)

This game is totally different than FO3. Borderlands is a frantic shooter with some RPG elements thrown in and a whole shit ton of loot. Think more MW with Diablo mixed together. Never mention Fallout 3 and Borderlands in the same sentence again.

Yeah, being in search of a Vault in a desert killing bandits, local wildlife and mutants while gathering loot is exactly the opposite of what you do in Fallout3...

The two games are very different. You can't really compare the two. I mean I could do the same thing you just did to compare Halo to Dragon Age. You run around killing things that want to kill you. You progress through a story until you come to the end and then the game finishes.

The two games are very different.

Again, The setting is essentially the same. The supporting characters also don't help by calling your character a vault hunter.
I also see I should have kept the sentence where I said that Borderlands is more a combination of ideas of other games, but I couldn't find a way to keep it without appearing too negative of the game.

You can't really compare the two.

Except that both feature a wasteland, a society in ruins, bandits raiding the land, people using whatever they can find to survive, an elite group of soldiers that want you dead and read this. [http://www.kotaku.com.au/2009/06/borderlands-eyes-on-co-op-fallout-in-reverse/]

Which are superficial similarities that are so unspecific that you're basically saying that a Ford is comparable to a Ferrari because they both have wheels.
