So I finally picked up my copy of Borderlands from Datablitz earlier this morning. For anybody who's been following this game prior to its release, you know that it's essentially a first-person shooter variant of Diablo/World of Warcraft - randomly generated guns (complete with rarity, elemental damage, unique effects etc.), respawning monsters, quests galore, and plenty of skill points. After playing through the first 5 hours (!) or so, I must say I'm currently very happy with my purchase.
Borderlands definitely has that "just one more quest" addictive quality to it that Diablo had in spades, and since me and my younger brother are both reformed Diabloholics (between us, we must have played D2: Lord of Destruction for a total of more than 200 hours) we both really wanted to play this in the absence of Diablo III this winter. (Obviously, I played first, as I bought it.) I had a total blast playing through (my Siren's currently level 12) , and after letting the PS3 have a break while we watched us some PBA, my brother got started on his Hunter character. He's actually still playing as I type this. Addictive as hell, I'm telling you.
After he finishes this quests we're gonna launch us some co-op and test out how the framerate holds up in split screen. :-) Peace out for now.
