Someone managed to get a copy of Borderlands early...

 

There's less than a week until the public release so I do not think that it's too impressive. o:)

Less than a week till console release. *shakes fist* The point was less about the "early" aspect and more about, if you want to see some gameplay, he's streaming it right now. As a bonus there are a couple devs in the chat room watching him play as well.

 

EDIT: He dies a lot.

I need info on how the single player game shapes up. Story, dialogue, towns, shops, characters etc and so forth.

 

If its 99% running around shooting things, it will need to do that really well before I'm willing to pay full price.

Notice how I can belittle your beliefs without calling you names. It's a useful skill to have particularly where you aren't allowed to call people names. It's a mistake to get too drawn in/worked up. I mean it's not life or death, it's just two guys posting their thoughts on a message board. If it were personal or face to face all the usual restraints would be in place, and we would never have reached this place in the first place. Try to remember that.

It looks like a Fallout 3 wannabe.

Fallout 3:

-wasteland

-humor

-"traditional" RPG

-"realistic" graphics

 

Borderlands:

-wasteland

-lot more humor

-Diabloid action FPS

-cell-shading

-colour

-co-op

 

Yeah, it's a total ripoff.

 

I fixed up the Borderlands part of your post.

I cautiously pre-ordered this on Steam. Curious to see how it turns out. With all the games that I'm working on but haven't finished, I think I'm going to need a little staycation sometime next month to catch up.

Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.

Yes, thank you.

I didn't say it is a Fallout 3 wannabe, only that it looks like a Fallout 3 wannabe. Sheesh people, lighten up already.

I'm surprised that no one called out on the RPG/FPS "baby" marketing, because wouldn't that go to Deus Ex?

 

As for Borderlands, I'll wait until the price drops. I've got a ton of other games that I should really finish anyway.

I just heard about this game. If the singleplayer component is ok (like Diablo2's was), then I might like it. Certainly looks amusing.

Deus Ex would be a WRPG/FPS hybrid, while Borderlands is more of an ARPG(hack and slash)/FPS hybrid, focusing on the loot and multiplayer aspects instead of the story or characters.

My neighbor has a flashed console, so I got to play it a little last night. Loved the music(very mark morganish) and towns, dialogues are ok. Story just works, nothing too exciting. There's a ton of different guns, really cool. Overall it's pretty much what a fallout action-rpg should be.

I don't see how this has any relation to Fallout at all.

 

It's not like the Fallout settings/atmosphere, it's not like the Fallout story, it's not like the Fallout combat, it's not like the Fallout graphics.

How does a game get 7.4 for story when the reviewer just got through saying there really isn't one?

Because there are sidequests and there probably is a main quest as well. Those probably have stories or maybe they're really mundane. Usually games with absolutely no stories at all (basically things like WiiFit Plus) skip the story rating in GT reviews.

Don't ever pay too close attention to the review score. I watch/link the GT reviews because they give a nice overview of a game, the score is as bad as any other.

 

The game review score scale has been 6-9 for a long time now.

Overall the game seemed sorta interesting. Have to hear more though.

Their statement is still fine. They didn't say it was the first merging of the genres.

story might also include things like character and dialogue, so even though there is no main "story" the characters and dialogue make up for it to the point of a 7.4?

 

im just guessing, i know nothing about that site

 

i really just want the game for the splitscreen, i love splitscreen coop games that dont suck.

Giant Bomb 30 min gameplay video.

Ok, I can't wait to play this game.

I took this job because I thought you were just a legend. Just a story. A story to scare little kids. But you're the real deal. The demon who dares to challenge God.

So what the hell do you want? Don't seem to me like you're out to make this stinkin' world a better place. Why you gotta kill all my men? Why you gotta kill me?

Nothing personal. It's just revenge.
