Dragon Age, Borderlands doesnt last that long, I have Borderlands...and I'd say its at its most fun, is when you play co-op.

Dragon Age, especially if you want to "mix it up a bit" with something totally different.

I haven't played either, they are diiferent games, but I would probably pick up Borederlands first based on what I've heard about it, but to be fair Dragon Age looks like a decent game also. It's down to you.

I owned Borderlands and love its, its really addicting. I havent played Dragon Age but, honestly, from what i've seen it looks boring, just depends on the type of games you like.

DA:O is a single player game with a long storyline and a ton of replay value. Borderlands main quest can be completed rather quickly but the side quests can keep you immersed for quite some time (tho nowhere close to DA). Borderlands most popular feature is its online co-op, so it all depends on what kind of game your looking for. Between the 2, id invest in DA (which is available for under 40 at walmart here in canada), and wait on the price drop for Borderlands.

You have to always go with the coop game 1st. Split screen and on-line and not to mention that the game is awesome.

Dragon Age. Borderlands is basically just a generic post-apocalyptic shooter with loot elements. I'd get Dragon Age and take advantage of this weekend's Steam deal (Torchlight for $10), that way you get a great RPG and a loot game done right, and it'll run on pretty much any PC.

Well, so far, borderlands wins on this, especially when you consider that DAO already has a required DLC that you have to pay $7 to get.

How is it required? You never need the storage during regular gameplay as there are a ton of backpack upgrades. Then again, if both are still full price the choice becomes a bit more difficult (Dragon Age is selling for $40 in Canada).

40 bucks for 100 hours of game play just cant be beat. Thats 2.5 hours per dollar.

Dragon Age... Wait for Borderlands on the cheap, I co-op'ed the game, loved it, and then it just kind of ended. Probably the biggest letdown of gaming in 2009.

I wouldn't call it generic in the slightest. Borderlands is a FANTASTIC game and so is Torchlight. Both are awesome.

unless I am mistaken, you only have a fixed amount of storage in dao fo the whole game. borderlands starts you off with only 12 slots, but if you do all the missions, you'll have 42 before long, not to mention being able to carry more stuff actively, which eliminates those equipped items from your backpack. and on playthrough 2, potential glitching/reloading for those same quests can get you even more storage upgrades, potentially giving you a character with 72 slots for items in hte backpack. On the pc version, some just go about enabling dev cheats, and then mod their files to then have 500-something slots to work with, but even I think that's more than a little extreme.

I have both games and personally i regret buying Borderlands, love Dragon Age. For me i should have realized that i cant stand FPS games, ever since Goldeneye on the N64 i have never enjoyed one and i picked up Borderlands cause it looked attractive but its definetelly not for me. U said u play MW2, FPS isnt a problem for u and Borderlands is more fun when u play with others, single-player isnt fun on it where Dragon-Age is a single player RPG. Do u like RPGs? If so u cant go wrong on DA:O, but both games are completely different, one is strictly single-player where Borderlans is a co-op expereience
