I can't decided between Borderlands or Uncharted 2. I mean Borderlands looks flat out fun but Ive heard amazing things bout Uncharted.

Borderlands just looks soo good though, i mean what with the coop and the massive weapon selection and all.

It did...

But I'm not hyped for Borderlands that much anymore. I've been waiting more then a year and they've changed it too much for me to like it anymore.

Yep, same as me. It was a tough decision, but Borderlands is my type of a game more. But I will pick up Uncharted 2 eventually

i know this may sound dumb but i probably wont ever likeboderlands because of the graphics. if they wouldve went with a diffrent artstyle i wouldve probably been really interested in it because the other aspects of the game seem pretty cool

That' s a really tough choice but I would pick Uncharted it' s got an amazing SP,fun and challenging co-op, and a great multiplayer mixed with the awesome platforming mechanics of the entire game.

Well, it would have, but they wanted to be different from Fallout 3 so they went with cell shaded graphics basically.

Borderlands has a horrible artistci look, which ruins it i think. Uncharted 2 is amazing! There is no contest between Borderlands and U2. U2 wins easily, get that

Borderlands is a poor man's Fallout 3. The cel-shaded style is looks dumb and I think Uncharted 2 would be much better.

Well I wrote a entire blog about why I am not purchasing Borderlands, I mean im sure it will be fun but the graphics just do not fit for that type of game, the whole open world thing and like lightr showed you and that same pic from my blog the game looks alot better before they down graded the graphics. I mean cell shade is not bad or anything but I justthink it does notfit for the open world experience.Not only that but there is not even going to be armour the the damn game, just a mindless fps to grind to level up in without even looking at your character. Its all up to you but I would go for Uncharted 2 because it has an awesome story and a pretty rich single player experience.

I personally played Uncharted 2 and it is a damn good game but it feels too much like 1. I mean sure they updated all sorts of things when it comes to graphics and AI (sorta) and of course the damage (again sorta) but they only went so far from the first. The platforming is so close to the first and he is still in the worst possible predicaments and just everything pans out to feel the same. I personally will be getting Borderlands for the fact that it is something totally new for me. I don't mean the idea of a sandbox rpg shooter... I mean the concept of randomized weapons and skill trees rather than skill points. The scenery is new and the characters don't have that "Exactly what I expected from him" feel. It seems more worth my money right now.

Yes it does look really good. And Uncharted 2 is way overrated. Only 5 vs 5? weak. And a very linear one player experience.

I will be trading it in for this title :)

People keep saying that Borderlands is trying too hard to be like Fallout 3. If I am not mistaken Randy Pitchford stated they were delaying it to change the graphical style so they don't get compared to Fallout 3. That if he knew that people would compare the 2 so closely that they would have started with cell-shaded graphics. Not to mention comparing the 2 is like comparing Tekken and Mortal Kombat. They both have a following and are both 3D fighters... but not really on the same page to be able to compare them. That is just me though.

I could not agree more with you. The seconds story imo is just like the first just more well written, I also felt the combat was very dull since I have played the first the second Uncharted has all the same weapons with the acception of 4 new ones that you will barely use.

I think the biggest flaw with it was the update to the AI. In the beginning of the game where you are in the courtyard sneaking past all the guards with the fountains and such.... I stood behind a guard and hit [ ] togive him a swift judo chop to the neck and instead drake just swings mid air... that is cool I wasn't directly behind him my bad... Then the guard turns around MGS style. Oh crap I am caught. NO. I duck and he scratches his head wondering where I went. Granted I was on the first playthrough. Only on Hard but seriously n Hard they should know where I went to...I would have kept it if they patched it before Borderlands.

BL is a definate day one purchase for me. I am getting it for my 360 though because I have several friends that are getting it also. As blown up as the 360 board is about this game you would think it is an exclusive. I have seen hardly any hype here...maybe because of DS and U2 (Bought DS as import and playing through U2 now).

Lol yeah in my review for Uncharted 2 I said how the AI was a little above average and it would get very annoying at certain parts of the game.
