Borderlands is AWESOME!

Borderlands was released here in the EU yesterday, and I don’t think I’ve been thinking about anything else since. I had high expectations towards Borderlands, but nothing like this! Man, it’s so fucking awesome you won’t believe!

I’m absolutely loving the RPG integration with the FPS gameplay. Fallout 3 also did this in some way, but nowhere near as excellent and gracefully as Borderlands.

Don’t get me wrong, Fallout 3 is one of the best games of all time, but even though many similarities with Borderlands, they are still so very, very far apart. I gotta admit though, it seems Borderlands took the throne from Fallout 3 here. Added multiplayer co-op, and so much more RPG elements, it was bound to happen in my honest opinion.
I love Borderlands.

I’ve started off with the soldier class (Roland), as he seemes like a good allrounder for getting to know the game, and I’m glad I did. His speciality lies in Assault Rifles and Shotguns it seems, which suits me perfect as those weapons are my favourite weapons in any FPS shooter. Now, combining these weapons with special skills, elementals and attributes, makes my beloved weapons all so much more satisfying in both usage and fragging!
Did I mention I love Borderlands?

Haven’t tried online play yet. I’m still a little catious regarding it because of the known bug which deletes your progress together with XP and loot. There are several other bugs reported by many players, but I’ve been so lucky to not have encountered a single bug. Worked perfectly out of the box for me. And I hope it stays that way right up to the patch arrives.

I don’t get a huge ammount of gameplay like I sometimes wish for, but today I will!
Mrs. Ca9ine is heading out for the night, so that means GAMING TIME for Ca9ine! :D

Borderlands rocks, TBH. IT ROCKS!
Go get it! Don’t wait! GET IT NOW!
