DLC is pretty cool. Only problem is the frame rate can get pretty choppy when there is a lot of enemies or even just a handful. I do wish they increased the level cap though. Other than that, I am glad I got it.

I need some help with this. I can't kill pumpkin face all by my lonesome. Tonight anyone?

[Hero]

F'real? I could get on tonight for some co-op.

Got this for Christmas from my wife. It's everything I wish Fallout 3 was.

Played till 4 in the morning last night.

It has major, major overtones of Road Warrior, which is post-apocalyptic. It's not that hard to figure out the comparison.

It also has a points-based skill system like Fallout 3 that determines how much damage you do, which works in-tune with how well you can aim your gun for accuracy. The comparison is a fair one. People getting their panties in a knot for comparing the two games are in denial or worried the comparison to Fallout 3 will drive people away. People who didn't like Fallout 3 will probably love this game. Because they went in to Fallout 3 EXPECTING something like this and got... well... VATS.

Borderlands has a much more visceral experience that I find FPS fans get more out of than Fallout 3. But the similarities are undeniable.

Since you're speaking in terms of gameplay, I can see those similarities. I don't like the folks who think because it looks barren and has Mad Max styling all over the place, the "OMG ITS POST APOCOLYPTIC LIKE FALLOUT"

Because, you know, it's not.

Hey semantics fags!

STFU.

Isn't it a different planet altogether?

I just started this game last night. It reminds me of Trigun more than anything else.

[icarusfall]

Yeah, good call on that.
