first of all, no offence…In MY OPINION, What makes a game good is the “STORY”, without “it” any games with terrific gameplay will also falls into the oblivion and got forgotten very easily as the time goes… Personally i played this game, the gameplay is quite addicting at first i admit.. But, once u played the game for quite a long time, its boring..
The FPS gameplay they offered, when u compare it with other game like COD MW2 OMFG.. its a big difference you know.. i rather play COD MW2 than Borderlands….
And about the story! It sucks BAD!! Nothings good about it….
Even Fallout 3 a free open world rpg offers a good and better story than borderlands.

CONS :-
= A game without a STORY is a waste of time……
– Many Different weapons, but they just looked the same…
– the skills are not fun
– Less Character customization
– Boring graphics

PROS :-
= Unique rpg system? ( i don’t think so )
= good FPS experience? ( Hell no )

Compare these games with borderlands
FPS : COD MW2
STORY : MGS Series, FF series and many other games
SKILL ? Even a free MMOrpg got better skill tree and animation than Borderlands
Visual : Crysis, Batman Arkham Asylum, else

However, I JUST DONT FIND ANYTHING INTERESTING OF THIS GAME!

Borderlands is an never very in-depth game because it is totally based on muitlplayer not else. Sure it has it single-player campaign but it is nothing compared to feeling you get when you play fallout3 or TES:Oblivion. All this is not to say it not a fun game. It has it moments like when playing with a friend or picking up the controller and playing, but if your a fan of hard core shooters or RPG’s this is not the game for you!the reason i say it not for hardcore shooter fans is because there is not tactical feeling about it like when playing modern warfare 2 and you are camping and slowing progressing and picking off people from a distance.It not for an RPG fan because the progression within the game is poor and there is also very little customization. Overall if you want a game just to pick up and play this is it.

BorderLands is a great game that any one can love it should have deserved a 10/10. I just finished beating it.

I enjoyed the review, but I think Borderlands should be a realistic shooter. In fact, it is much better to have strong enemies rather many and weak. However, there are some things that I would change in the game. So I would:
*Improve story and make it exciting
*Focus on compeditive MP modes
*Add more customization
*Add some gameplay variety and armor

This game has a different replay value for different people. Some people after reaching 50 lvl will quit the game, some will enjoy the game with friends. As for me, the game lacks of compeditive Multiplayer…

Good review! May rent this one before I buy, but looks like a great game overall.

@tridenthawk

Loots are mostly ammos, shield, or weapon that you can sell on the vending machines that you can find across the wasteleands. Don’t worry about running out of ammos because there is a lot that you can find.

Nice review but a bit brief. What about the loot?How is it divided?Is it fair?Does it increase the fun factor?

And another thing: I agree with Jon that it’d be a con if it takes a lot of shots to kill an enemy. And guys, that nonsense about challenge can be stuffed sideways – the challenge in a game shouldn’t be only about whittling down an enemy’s healthbar by pouring bullet after bullet into it. And besides, it’d make the weapons feel grossly underpowered – I mean c’mon, 10 billion/trillion/gazillion guns and not one can kill someone quickly? In a game focussed around weapon loot, doesn’t their perceived ineffect derail the point just a wee lil’ bit?

And no, I’m not saying that weapons should insta-gib an enemy – I just want to feel and see that this uber gun I hold in my hands, with its uber mods, is an effective death-dealing, murder-bringing, life-ending weapon of final destruction.

Peace

An RPG mustn’t just have a decent story, it must have a great story. It’s what gives the game depth and the world spice, it’s what pulls the player in and gives motivations to his actions, its the golden thread that runs through the game.

The pickups are awesome and will drive sales on the game, but why at the expense of the story? The great RPG’s of our time are known for their stories too. And don’t make that tired “Action-RPG, multi-focussed” excuse. Diablo 1 & 2 are great action RPG’sm, with strong multiplayer components, and yet infused with a great background story. Someone earlier mentioned that WOW doesn’t have a story – wrong: the quests are well written and the world has an epic story.

Then again, I guess not everyone can pull off a Blizzard.

I think it’s pretty funny how everyone is so quick to criticize an honest review. You told them what you believed were the strengths and downfalls of the game in your eyes. That doesn’t mean that everyone will agree with you, but it’s just there to better inform people. Especially people are on the fence about purchasing the game. Honestly, to all you people who completely bashed this review go start your own website and write up a review. Let’s see how many people agree with your point of view.

Also, the game is not even out yet so stop acting like it is going to be flawless. I’m hyped for the game too, but I do not expect perfection. You have no idea if it is really a 5/5. So why don’t you grow up and show some respect for the time and honesty this writer put into the review alright?
