looking back at the parody demo now, it's almost like the joke was on the player base. 

has anyone played this purely in SP? is it good?
from what i've read, it's rpg stats + shooting, so i'm thinking, similar to fallout3?

price has dropped for this so i was wondering if it's worth getting. 

Weapons have random stats and whatnot, there's supposed to be over thirteen million combinations. 

someone did an in-depth review of it on here, and felt it was super repetetive. could be mistaken though. 

thanks for letting me know. quakis wrote the review, at 3150. :) 

Kinda sucks. Overhyped by fox. The main problem with it IMHO is that it grow old very fast. You get to a silly level once and you're done. And a soon as you get into a multiplayer game, it impacts on your status in the singleplayer world. The whole thing is based upon behavours of environments as you progress, the guns are like stats sheets with randomised values and according randomised appearences. It gets to be too clinical. I had fun with it for a couple of weeks maybe :D 

I play borderlands in singleplayer for about 20 (?) minutes before dropping it. Ugly, boring as shit, lame game play, awkward feeling. I heard it might be better in coop, but I haven't tried it to find out. But then, I would probably just play L4D2 in coop if I were going to coop a game anyway. 

I played a bit on a friend's xbox a while ago, thought the art design was good. 

Although, what is and isn't ugly is highly subjective. 

I was actually really excited about Borderlands from previews and whatnot and then they revealed their new art style - and I immediately lost interest in it. It still sold well enough to warrant a look, but what I saw I did not like at all.

Though I have a particular disdain for cell shading in most everything. 

the vanilla game with no dlc, quite fun if your having a drought of games to play. It IS fairly repetitive but the shooting mechanics are solid and some of the rarer beefier weapons are very satisfying to use (im looking at you, revolver with a chance to cause explosions!).

I imagine its a lot more fun in coop, but the single player kept me interested long enough to finish it :) 

I might as well post about this one I uploaded a few days back for those interested;

VVVVVV is awesome, Don't Look Back and Judith are also inspiring. 

I liked it, kind of felt like a Diablo FPS almost, and the visuals were nice and refreshing, but yeah, best played in coop of course.

And yeah VVVVVV is awesome.

borderlands sounds like my kind of game, i think. :)

even if it only lasts a few weeks, that's worth the current price (30 CDN). 

i went to were grils lather school jackets and tell them to call me at this number 8579142. 

 

are a lawyer and a Catholic church.

Go figure. 

Borderlands was a blast, one of the few games in the past couple of years that I really spent the time to explore every nook of every level. It's fun both SP and coop, give it another shot Zwiffle. The beginning *is* kind of slow and boring but it picks up. 

Anyone else having trouble creating an account so they can..you know, PLAY THE FRIKKIN' GAME? =)

its been stuck on the "creating account" message for 10 minutes now and there is no way to cancel it, w00t Crytek :P 

Apparently "bollox" and "bollox@bollox.com" were taken. So I'm bollox01 ;) 

Yeah, got in myself a few minutes ago.

I like it! Its modern warfare 2 with super powers thrown in =)

Everything feels really beefy, which is great. Suit powers are actually useful and I found that I was using all of the available modes and moves. The ground stomp thing is hilarious if you can get one off in a group of enemies.

It suffers from slight consolitis however, the fov feels very narrow, and the "Press start to continue" message when you first get to the menu is a little disconcerting =) I had to up the mouse speed a fair way also, but the game itself is fine.

Only other annoyance I had was that the graphics options menu is a complete joke. You have 3 preset options, "Gamer", "Advanced" and "Hardcore". There are no slider bars or drop down menu's for various effects, frankly from Crytek I expected there to be a buttload of graphics options... :P

Saying that though, I threw it on Hardcore and the game ran at a steady 60fps, and it doe's look very pretty.

All in all, colour me impressed by these first impressions. However they do need to add more graphics customization options!

Returning to a previous Crytek game, Crysis keeps crashing on what presumably is the final section, when the Admiral nukes the island, it always crashes during that cutscene. Have just upgraded to V1.2 and it does the same...
