@gamerzndplayerz no, not at all. the only grinding you will do is replaying the campaign your second time around to reach the highest level. by the end of your first 30 hour playthrough, you will be about a rank 34/50, eventhough i think they bumped the cap to 70. your second playthrough is what i would call "grinding." you grind to get better weapons and more exp, but you don't half to play a second time in order to enjoy the game.
The thing I hate about borderlands? No character creation.I also miss the fact of getting to collect armor and things versus just guns, shields, class, and grenade mods.
@ybucket it's an rpg, tactics don't fucking apply, ur obviously a pure fps player who doesn't know crap about RPGs, it's all about quests and items, not k/d and gamebattles in this game
True, it doesnt have branching dialogue where ou can make decisions and all that, but there are side quests and dungeons and bosses that are not required to kill to beat the game (side-quests)
I's just a fucking dumb shooting game with no tactics or strategy at all and a lot of re-spawning of extremely dumb enemies, it's pure crap! Terrible graphics and animation too and VERY repetitive!
you compare how much you enjoyed the game to the other. and this totally owns fallout 3... i found f3 really borring. but then again people have their own opionions
Yeah, but you're comparing an FPS to an RPG. Although Borderlands has RPG elements and Fallout 3 has FPS elements, Borderlands is mainly an FPS and Fallout 3 is mainly an RPG.
yup and i found this game boring and i enjoyed fallout 3 ...it wasn't my favourite game but i played through the whole thing. ....cant say the same about this game. Perhaps i will give it another try one day but ive played 2-3 hours and didn't like it so i dont think my opioun will change.
yes haha people keep on saying the graphics blah blah blah sucks blah, its the gameply that makes it fun. it's fun figuring out enemies's weakness and co-op with friends.
hey if anyone else thinks there getting this for christmas or already has it for the ps3 then reply to me so i can get some people to play this game with :D
i wasn't a huge fan of fallout 3 simply because the gameplay left me desiring more, and of course, gameplay is the true backbone of every videogame, so i found fallout 3 relatively unenjoyable, whereas borderlands felt equally as good as games like call of duty or halo and it delivered some really fun bosses, great coop, a lengthy campaign, and a rewarding loot system, so my vote goes to borderlands, but a lot of people would argue against me. they really are 2 completely different games tho
yea ill probly rent both and see if i like ethier one and if i like both ill buy them but borderlands does look like alot more fun to me but just wanted another opion so thanks
For story go for fallout 3. For addictive gameplay go for this one. By the way there are many guns in this game, but many are almost the same. Game is a 8+/10
That is from the Soldier's Turret skill. You can add skill points into making the turret heal all party members inside the red field. A Blue turret field regenerates ammo for everyone in the field. It's very nice :D
to clarify things, whenever i kill an enemy a red ring appears around me. anybody within the area of that ring, along with myself slowly regenerates health. you can also have this perk for shields as well, wish i think i also have maxed out for this video. i believe that every class is able to carry these abilities, not solely the soldier class, but don't hold me to that. hope that kind of clears everything up for you
Isn't the last skill in from the Medic section for the Soldier? He doesn't have a turret out and it moves with him. He shows his skill tree and he has that skill. It heals you when you kill someone.
everybody has to own this game, its probs one of the funyest and most fun games ive played ever, there are some bugs but they are so overshadowed by the pure awsomeness of the game. and u gotta love the arcade style damage values spewing off the enemys.
Well I am getting this game later today. In about 2 to 3 hours. I cant pick this in my head, so tell me, which character do you think would be best for a first time Borderlands player?
i think the soldier class is by far the best class. the ability to shoot and heal your teammates is hands down the most important ability to have. in my opinion, the hunter is by far the most overused and weakest class of them all. i know a lot of people will rush to defend this class but it's only because they think being a sniper with a deadly hawk is cool. that's just my two cents though
i was thinking about dusting off my ps3 and hooking it back up for uncharted 2, but then i remembered how much i hate psn and decided otherwise. with dragon age coming out in a week and a half, i simply dont have the money to pick up a copy, maybe ill rent uncharted one of these days...i said that with the original too and here i am a couple years later and i still havent played it....sad really
Well the online options are very similar to Halo 3. It uses matchmaking u can create your own room and you can also watch previews matches u played record and edit them. So its probably the best onlie game on the PS3 that ive played thus far.
i just cant handle not being able to cross chat games/have a party system. i also can't handle the fact that the amount of users with mics is drastically less than on the 360 since the ps3 doesnt come with a headset, and i cant play a cooperative, team-based game without communicating with my teammates so i end up getting pissed off. also the friends list and menu system is still nowhere near as user friendly as xbl. those are the main reasons i never get online on my ps3.
I would tell you to give Uncharted 2 a chance. I am in no way a person who believes in the hype of any game, but U2 truly is a reason to own a PS3 which gladly surprised me. I wholeheartedly agree the PS3 has major issues with PSN, but Uncharted 2 is well worth it. It's been one of the few games to get me away from my 360 and other consoles.
Great review and agree 100%. To me the joy of the game is that it makes you want to continue playing over and over just to see what new kickass weapon you will find next. Who needs story when you have that?

RPG has branching dialogue. Does this game have that? I don't think so. Quests and missions are one fine line. This game is a FPS in my view.
