Borderlands - Quick Look @ Giant Bomb

I posted my thoughts on GiantBomb.


SHOOTER+BIOWARE STYLE Rpg=Deus Ex WIN

SHOOTER+MMO QUESTS = Borderlands FAIL.

hm, with Hellgate London i KNEW it was going to be shit long before it was released, everything pointed to it, with this i dont know.. it seems to a bit too much arcade like for my taste, it'll lose a lot immersion wise because of that. Healing bullets etc, its just a bit too strange i think, but we'll see..

It is going Diablo with guns IMO which is OK, but probably not something I'll play a lot. I have a old friend from when I was young who wants to play, so I'll give it a shot. I'm horrible at anything shooter so he winds up killing 75% of everything while I stand around a go DUH.

and yes I've been lurking for 18 months.

Diablo with guns is ok by me.

If it's like a MMO with guns then I'll pass.

Yeah, all the new information is showing that it's very arcade-y. Like it'll be constantly reminding you that you're playing a video game, so no immersion at all.

It's just looking less and less like anything I'd call an rpg. I still think it'll be pretty fun though and since I already ordered it I guess I'll find out for sure in 10 days or so.
