PS University writes "The signature theme song for Borderlands continuously claims that "there is no sleep for the wicked," but anybody who has stepped into Pandora will tell you that the good aren't getting much shuteye either. A lot of gamers have a hard time classifying Borderlands due to its expansive formula of gameplay that offers not only a free roam philosophy, but a loot system, leveling system, first-person shooter mechanics, player-Vs-player gameplay and 4-player co-op. While the developers are dubbing the title a RPGFPS, appropriately, Borderlands kind of reminds me of a smash up of all of my favorite things from four to five other games under one roof. Is this something that is a negative? By no means is it a negative, because while Borderlands does borrow from other franchises, it provides a unique experience that those other games can't even begin to think of offering to a gamer from any stand point."
The developers behind the original Borderlands discuss their last-second Hail Mary to change the course of the franchise.
ever since XIII came out I really loved the cell shaded artstyle in games. I probably wouldn't have tried it if it didn't have such a style like that
Pure Arts Reveals Borderlands Collectible that fans should l8ve.
Take-Two admits the Borderlands movie was disappointing, though it still contributed to the game catalog's sales.
"we don’t really need to break out the contribution from the film because while it was economically positive"
Come on, there was nothing positive about it, it literally bled money...not really economically.
No there was not. The same way there was no Dragon Ball live action movie, nor an Avatar the Last Airbender live action movie :)
So the movie cost 155 million to produce and another 30 million dollars to promote . Borderlands movie brought in around 31 million worldwide . So basically, the Borderlands movie was a 154 million commercial for Borderlands video game franchise.
So close to release date and yet it feels so far away :(! I also agree with this part of the review:
"Borderlands only true downfall has to be the fact that it’s stuck releasing between Uncharted 2 and Modern Warfare 2."
Curse you Uncharted 2 for being so godly!
Since I don't have enough money for this, I guess it'll have to be a rent.
I'm debating which one I should get Borderlands, MW2, or AC2.
I picked up a filler game during Toys R Us buy 2 get 1 sale and I've got 45 days to exchange it for another game and those 3 are the ones I want.
I hope Borderlands is good though, I'll have to rent it first to check it out.
I wanna see more reviews for this and decide if I really do want this game
Where the f are the reviews. This game comes out in 2 days!
ALthough the art style looks great and the shooting mechanics look spot on, I having heard 1 thing about this game's story. I am concerned it won't have a good story as I am a sucker for stories in my games.
Need to see more reviews. If it turns out mediocre, which is possible as this is gearbox, then it's MW2 used, Assassin's Creed 2, Rachet, and Dragon's Age for the rest of this year.
