Borderlands Gamespot Review - PS3 - 8 360 - 8.5

Dang!! I was looking forward to this too. More time for Demon's Souls now, which isn't a bad thing.

That is very discouraging they release a lower quality version of the same game on PS3... The PS3 may not be blatantly superior in processing, but it also is not blatantly inferior. Why release the game if it is apparently not ready? Post release patches for a broken game is kinda ridiculous, especially when the score doesn't always change to reflect the fix in the patch.

Like Fallout 3 for example, I played post patch and never had issues with the game. But the intial review claims it is flawed because a developer that preaches equal quality all through development releases a sub par game on one console.

Not that big of a deal I suppose, but still discouraging.

It is probably first day server problems. The game is probably the same and will change the score a week later. Not even a patch.

Hopefully its like the NHL 10 review.

That sucks though. The reason is: Online issues at launch, including broken Friends list functionality

Hopefully this is something that gets patched

"Alas, PS3 owners will have to wait for a fix in order to fight alongside their friends."

Wow, talk about unprepared launch.

A whole 0.5 off for that though? Im wondering if the review will be changed when it gets patched seeing as this is an unacceptable issue. I wonder what the other online issues are

But they never go back and rereview, change a review, or change a score.

The problem will likely be fixed, but I doubt GS will change their review. They didn't do so for Socom: Confrontation after all.nervmeister

It just wouldn't be feasible for Gamespot to re-review games because of patches and what-not.

So, the PC version gets 90?loco145

[QUOTE="loco145"]So, the PC version gets 90?Halo__Reach

Good reviews, but I'm still waiting for the PC version. Judging from what IGN, Giant Bomb and Gearbox have said about the PC version, it'll hopefully be worth the wait.

[QUOTE="Halo__Reach"][QUOTE="loco145"]So, the PC version gets 90?delta3074

[QUOTE="delta3074"][QUOTE="Halo__Reach"] nopeCouth_

The console versions run at 30FPS with occasional FPS drops as opposed to the PC's constant 60FPS. This is a pretty noticeable difference if the player wants smoother gameplay. But if you don't have the hardware then there wouldn't be much point in waiting for the PC version unless you have plenty of friends on the platform.

Glad I got the 360 version. I thought the game had a good chance at AAA, but an 8.5 is still a nice score. Can't wait to get it and start playing.

Great score for BL yet sadly another Multiplat bites the dust on the PS3. Even if it's fixed or not, that's no excuse to release a version that scores lower.

I wonder what the PC version will get. About on par with 360, perhaps?nintendoboy16

[QUOTE="AgentA-Mi6"]If they dont patch the game in the next 4 weeks Im sold for Sigma 2 instead of Borderlands.Fizzman

Just get it on PC its cheaper, and better.

And then cows will hate gamespot then..or maybe they will say that MS paid gamespot for higher review than the ps3 version..or maybe they will said gamespot reviewer is lemming-ScorpionKing

the single player will keep the ps3 owners occupied till the patch it, it's a server issue so it should be patched most ricky ytick,lems can't claim ownage on this, it's not the ps3's fault, it's the devsdelta3074

I agree.

[QUOTE="gamerlifegrace"] Dont be hatin on TO now.clone01

Ohh im not i personally think he is hilarious, and still a great reciever.

This should be played on PC anyway so... /thread

No offence but this is a typical Sony fanboy post. Using this logic PS3 owner never play multiplats on their console since every single one looks better on PC...:?

On topic, congratulations 360. It never desapoints :P

Nice score, Def gonna read the review at work to see if i'll buy it or not.

Not at all....:|

Split screen is fine though right? Cuz that's all i really care about :P

Anyway, nice score, got what i expected

Sweetness and I need to go pick my copy up so I can started my gun collection. :)

If this was the other way around,ps3 fanboys would be going around rejoicing and claiming victory over XBOX360..

So YES! this is Ownage....deal with it.

you fanboys simply just cant Brush this one off by Yelling "Patch!" or simply saying "Lazy Devs!"

now i see why people pay for xbox live.....quality online Gameplay.

so you ps3 fanboys can keep your version with broken online gameplay and ill take the better version.

the fact remains:

XBOX LIVE>>>>> PSN

8.5 > 8.0

i can see it right now...

Boss: "we have to release this game now!"

Employee: "but sir,the online portion is still broken."'

Boss: "what version?"

Employee: "PS3 Version"

Boss: "meh, most people will play it on XBOX LIVE anyway"

Employee: "True"

"Alas, PS3 owners will have to wait for a fix in order to fight alongside their friends."

Wow, talk about unprepared launch.

i find it interesting that ign review of borderlands didn't mention the ps3's issues at ALL... i skimmed their review and i found nothing.

PS3 review

heh, that's pretty funny.

seems like PS3 owners always have to wait for a patch, bottom line, 8.5 for the 360, 8.0 for the PS3. Its a joke how the PS3 seems tohaving these problems

Boss: "we have to release this game now!"

Employee: "but sir,the online portion is still broken."'
