you dont even care about the wasteland and the backstory or the setting, am i right?dakan45
I always care about the backstory, setting, and immersion. In fact I rate those as some of the most important things in a video game. I fail see how different art style will take away from the immersion.

I think one of the reasons Gearbox changed the artstyle is because they didn't want people to think it was Fallout 3

[QUOTE="MrWednesday14"][QUOTE="dakan45"]it screams for shinny graphics and serious characters and gameplay like first playerdakan45
It doesn't "scream" for anything. Anytime a game tries something different doesn't mean it's wrong. What about TF2? Crazy art style, crazy atmosphere so different from every online shooter out there, but an excellent game in spite (and because of this). If you don't like the look, fine; but don't say that a game should be a certain way just because it doesn't fit your preconceptions.

WHY?.....Why to try something diffirent the product has been in development for years, why to change it? The only earned extra development time and lost the original fans...... its like it switched fanbase.

I love the art style, it adds so much more flavor to the game, not to mention it seems to be taking the silly cell shaded approach which seems to be working well. I'm just glad we didn't get another Oh so boring drab and dreary post apocalyptic gruesome generic shooter that plays just like all the other ones. Instead we get a wonderfully colorful new approach to the FPS/RPG and post apocalyptic setting. I'm glad it changed.

I thought "Role Playing Shooter" was invented when Deus Ex came out.Treflis

System Shock 2 was an RPGFPS

Borderlands looks like it is going to be great. I'm not too thrilled about their choice of graphics, but I'm sure I'll get over it by the end of the intro movie.

from what I'm hearing over at Giantbomb and 1up, this is a pretty solid game. Looking forward to it for sure, and of course, especially on PC. This seems like a PC title all the way, and with Geerbox behind the wheel, it's always a plus.

I'm really excited about this title .. Borderlands looks so engaging .. the art alone makes me just want immerse myself in it and stare/drool :p

The new genre thing of Role Playing Shooter is pretty funny because what this just means is it's an RPG Hybrid, which is there no shame being .. one of the best RPG Hybrid's ever was Deus Ex , which for me felt truly like a Role Playing Shooter (I did sniper shooting spree most the time).

So Borderlands could just be the next big thing in a long line of good company, which is 'EXCITING' for sure, gives me a sense of anticipation.

Here is to good things coming.

because thats what i thought about invisible war and look how much they dumb it down to suit to the console fanbase.dakan45
Suit the console fanbase? You do know that DE:IW didn't sell well on consoles. If DE: IW suits the console fanbase then Big Rigs: Over the Road Racing was defintely made to suit the PC crowd... Or the logical answer is that the developers suck and made a crappy game full of design errors because their company was going out of business and instead of making a good game, they tried to cash in on a name.

Oh, don't deny it. The direction they took with the game is definitely oriented towards console gamers. Console gamers are easily pleased with short attention spans with little regards for depth, complexity, atmosphere and richness of the story, and uses the multiplayer aspect of FPS to judge their games. Case examples being massive commercial successes such as Halo, COD:Modern Warfare and Oblivion. By the way, if a game doesn't sell well. it doesn't mean that it is or not console oriented.

The massive amount of additional development effort and cost to modernize and expand upon the original Deux Ex, with a mature features, is hard to justify when the above said games are selling so well, and necessary funding for blockbuster games are getting to nebulous amounts it isn't even considered nowdays. Don't blame the console players? Considering how the console players are spending their money, don't blame the console players?

Not only that i have that feeling, i know that it would turn out bad unless some drastic action was taken. An arcade RPG-shooter identical to Hellgate: London with limited ammo is a very bad design choice. And judging by the videos, the enemy health - weapon damage balance is seriously out of whack. Those who wish to comment on Borderlands should at least had played Hellgate: London. For those commenting on class systems should at least had played Titan Quest with it's absolutely wonderful dual class system.. Haven't yet? These games are for budget prices now days, and Titan Quest might just entertain you more than Borderlands.

I'm excited but cautious about Borderlands. It looks good but something just is telling me to not buy it right away. I'm going to wait to hear what people have to say about it first.

Really don't like the art style...in fact I think it's terrible. Thought I am still interested in the game, just unsure of a few things like how deep the item system is, skill system, ect.

Well as long you can turn off those flying damage numbers every time you hit an enemy....
