[citation][nom]WannaTurnUpTheHeat[/nom]You haven't actually played Borderlands, have you? Not saying it's not mindless -- it is, in a Diablo 2 lootfest kind of way -- but your statement sounds like it's implying that Borderlands should be lumped in with you vs. an army FPSs like... every other one.While its execution was certainly lacking, Borderlands was able to open up the FPS genre in a way that other games refuse to do -- while some games have either had pseudo-RPG things tacked on (the only example I can think of is CoD multiplayer with its perks) or were SO RPG as to not be shooters anymore (Fallout 3), Borderlands really was like playing Diablo 2 in the first person. With guns.I really hope they can improve the endgame and/or story on BL2, and it's an almost guaranteed buy for me.[/citation]
*sighs* you obviously lack any understanding of fallout's history IT WAS NEVER A SHOOTER , fallout 1 and 2 were top down RPG's so it is the worse example for a game that's "SO RPG as to not be shooters anymore" you say "any more" like the original fallout games were shooters , WHICH THEY WERE NOT Fallout series is NOT a shooter series it IS an RPG series.
sorry to get so hung on this just getting tired of every noob idiot calling Fo3 and FO:NV shooters when they aren't.
