I'm really digging the graphics. Before it was realistic-ish looking but we already have enough of those right now.

I can't wait for this ing game!

i really like the cell animation and the 4 player co-op looks nasty. quite frankly this game has shot to my #2 must have game of the fall:

1. uncharted 2
2. borderlands
3. ratchet & clank cit
4. codmw2
5. assassin's creed 2

Same for me minus ratchet and AC and plus tekken 6. I'm hoping for B2G1 to get this, T6 and uncharted 2, then codmw2 for Christmas. That would be awesome but I won't get my hopes too high.

I'm feeling this game is going to be like a full fledged R2 online coop, which I absolutely loved. I'm really hoping this won't disappoint.

I really can't wait for the game.
But it's not a Day 1 buy for me.

-because I have to make sure the FPS is playable.
-Know there's forever lasting appeal and replayability
-good storyling

One question: have we seen anything on the PS3 version?

Every preview I've seen has been either 360 or PC. I can't seem to dig up any PS3 info on borderlands, google/bing just comes up with the same stuff over and over again.

Does this bother anyone else?

Im really excited about this game. I'm probably going to use my Brutal Legend $10 credit on it, as long as Amazon adds some sort or preorder bonus to it.

I love the graphic/art style, and Im a sucker for couch co-op gaming.

But hmm.. only 30 main quest.. I hope they're like 5 hours each. lol

Really undecided about this game. I love the graphics and setting (still love Fallout 3), but I can't decide on gameplay and a lot of the intangibles (intangible without playing, like fun factor). I'm hoping the review scores are great and push me to grab it. Really saddened that they chose to not release a pre-release demo.

I remember reading about this in Game Informer a loooong time ago. It looked very exciting then but, so did a lot of other games. Maybe I'm the only one who got super hyped before I bought a next gen system and then when the games actually came out, I was extremely disappointed. I hope to be proven wrong.

Anyone else picking this up tomorrow on PS3? I'd love to get some co-op going.

Also, you can check out the skills and make builds if you want here:
http://www.borderlandsthegame.com/skilltree/mordecai/

Replace "mordecai" in the link with Brick, Lilith, or Roland to get to the other characters.

Here's a mordecai build that focuses mainly on the Sniper Rifle. Start with a critical headshot that penetrates shields, get a quick kill then get huge damage boosts for the next shot, and pistol upgrades for close combat. No focus on the pet

Really excited to play this tomorrow, going to spend TRU trade in credit on it.

Yeah, getting it tomorrow ^
Nice build. Anyways, feel free to add.

thinking about picking it up MAYBE

Good review. I can't wait to get my hands on a copy:

Nah, havent seen anything unless you are interested in the PC version. Theres a 4 game bundle for $33 or something around there that you can split with 3 others.

It's a bummer Amazon didn't have a $10 credit

the review piqued my interest. but i just have too much on plate now.

I wonder if this or fallout 3 is better?

They are vastly different kinds of games with similar settings imo.

Fallout is heavy on RPG elements (deeper character customization, slow combat, etc) while Borderlands is infinitely more FPS-like. Really shouldn't be compared.












For the record, probably Fallout 3 :P But Borderlands will be badass!
