the game wasnt made to be an incredibly story, im happy they focused on one thing and instead of making a half a** game. honestly i play the game with music on my comp going and the sound effects up, so the only thing i really hear in the game is the gunshots. other then that i could careless about the story its a game based on loot-collecting and leveling. it wasnt made to compete with fallout or kotor for story or dialogue.
 
plenty of good single player games out, most recently Uncharted 2 and Ratchet and Clank that will provide a good story.
 
every review, and borderlands them self have said that this game falls in line with the diablo niche, and its all about loot collecting.. i feel bad if someone bought the game for another reason because you arent going to get some epic story out of this game

They should have cut back the weapon variety and adde more (less annoying) dialogue, hearing they same stupid laugh over and over almost drove me insane, and i was only a fraction of the way through the game! Wonder if we can get our 4.99 back for renting this!?

I've tried duelling before and really, once you're in berserk you're like, unstoppable.
Oh I already started my 2nd go by now though, with warheart and xerxes.

drokun im about to beat the game ill play with you on my 2nd playthrough

i got a level 34 soldier right now, and im looking forward to getting him to level 50 so i can start dueling, theres an achievement for winning 100 duels and i want it :)
 
yea dueling locks you into a small area so berserkers probably beast it but my soldier is f***ing ridiculously powerful and i have a build idea that should dominate pvp.
 
plus theres an open pvp arena in fyrestone where most people should duel
 
the game is like diablo LITE as far as rpg elements.
 
what i like is the fact not only do they let you level to 50 and have skill trees is that they have the added weapon proficiency. my rifle proficiency is like around level 17 i think

What if you're facing another Berserker of the same general level?

At the beginning of the game you get to pick one of the 4 cla**es, which mean which starting weapons you'll have and which skill tree. Next to that each cla** has their specific power to active with a press of the button and a cooldown. - Also there will be cla** specific powerups later on in the game.

You and most of the moving stuff around you you can shoot have levels, and you're really gonna get in trouble facing something 5 levels higher than you (Appearantly the level cap is at 50 atm).
The loot and guns you find on your travels get worth more as you go along and get stronger and rarer.

From what I've seen so far you're not really required to have people of different cla**es in your party although the healing one is pretty usefull. Also if you're a Berserker you're pretty much guaranteed to not lose a duel.

It's not an RPG, it's an FPS with very shallow RPG elements.  There are not a ton of stats to keep track of besides those on the weapons.  It's best to think of it as an FPS with a taste of RPG aspects (like leveling, persistence, etc.).  Most reviewers, and I'm pretty sure Gearbox themselves, refer to it as an RPS (role playing shooter).

That's my main concern with this game: Are the RPG elements truly fleshed out? Or are they simply tacked on?

Coming off Fallout 3 since launch day, I must remain skeptical.

This morning I finished my first playthrough on 1 of my accounts, my lvl 36 berserker will be on hold for now, until I get some more people to play the 2nd playthrough with.

oh and helscream.. this is from someone who played all the original fallouts and beat fallout 3 a few times. borderlands is nothing close to a rip-off of it. fallout 3 is one of my favorite games of all time, but they simply are diffrent games. bethesda makes its own style of games.
 
@killingugood, same im gonna get to probably level 20-30 before i go online
 
 
@silverj, my copy of r&c should arrive any day now, ive played every one of them minus ratchet deadlocked. they are great games.
 
borderlands is kinda similiar to r&c in the way you constantly are collecting money and the way weapon proficiency works.. like in ratchet and clank the more you use a wep it raises the weps level, in borderlands the more you use a wep you raise the weps proficiency
 
but one is a platforming 3rd person game (r&c), and the other is a fps/rpg hybrid.. so dont think you are getting the same experience from either or
