From what I heard, it's the same as left 4 dead in that playing it by yourself demeans the game and makes you look like a friendless loser. It looks like so good old fashion co-op shenanigans and I shall probably buy this and blow shit up with a few colleagues of mine. Also, it's got some damn catchy trailer music.

So I like the originality... the cel-shading is a bit much... The theme of it is decent enough... The content and how much there IS I'm not too excited about... So I thought to myself... "If only I had $50 to blow..."

I've heard this game is pretty buggy, and is not really that good if you've already played Diablo or a Diablo-like game.

It looks nice. I like the art style. If anyone ends up getting it, let me know if it is any good.

Not to ride the hate-train too far, but the millions of guns are really just random number generated, and most are identical but with a slightly different scope.

yeah the gun thing is there's 3.7 million guns, but for each one there's different traits(i.e Damage, range,accuracy) that get randomly changed.
I'm just happy that supposedly u can use the vehicles as transport and to kill ppl in road pirate battles.

I bought and installed it yesterday. I've been enjoying it so far. I personally like the art style and as to the game play so far I haven't encountered any bugs.

So far I've only played with Aus but I think that once I catch up to him in lvl than I'll enjoy it more what with being a little more equal.

Yay for bumps.

I bought Borderlands two weeks ago, but I've only put in about 5 hours of game play. It's somewhat interesting and the weapons system is cool, but there's no addiction factor to it.. Which is sad because I was anticipating it being teh s3x :(
And lolz, refer to my Steam nickname :) *I mic-spam that song for Tgame all the time, xD
