Some games you buy because they're perfect.
Other games you buy because despite their frustrating flaws, they are completely unique and fun.
Borderlands is the latter.
My friend lost his fast regen shield for no reason. Joined a friends game and it was gone. Some achivments dont unlock either.What are the flaws? Because I'm thinking of lifting my Forza 3 reservation and getting this instead. I'm very interested in Dragon Age as well, but I may wait a little while to get that as well.

Character customization is a little lacking for an RPG. Some of the difficulty scaling is a little awkward. Some stuff is just a mindless grind, other stuff you'll die several times trying to survive (and early in the game too). Not really a lot of 'abilities' to choose from. No way to trade items with your party. You have to throw the item on the ground and they pick it up. Bland story and not a lot of character interaction/personality. The vehicles are kind of poor too. There's not a lot of physics in how they drive, and you can choose to have a machine gun turret or a rocket launcher in your vehicle, and they both do pathetic damage.

I'm adding framerate problems as well, has anyone gotten it, the PS3 version has it several of times.What are the flaws? Because I'm thinking of lifting my Forza 3 reservation and getting this instead. I'm very interested in Dragon Age as well, but I may wait a little while to get that as well.

Some people are nitpicking a great game. I haven't seen any technical issues at all; I've only played split-screen and single player though. The solid shooting, variety of enemies and weapons, great looking graphics and rewarding rpg elements out-wheigh the negatives. The story isn't too deep, it has no multiplayer trade window. Some people think the rpg elements could be deeper, but I think they're good. The game is fun and addictive and it has a lot of replay value. It's does exactly what the devs said it would do - it's a combination of Halo and Diablo with a Mad Max/sci-fi setting. It's easily one of my favorite games for the 360; it's my GOTY.

Weird, the framerate went down a bit like 7 times, but I'm renting the PS3 version to be fair.[QUOTE="JS0123456789"]

I was just wondering, I didn't know the 360 version didn't have those issues since IGN said so, to be fair, no one brought those issuses up here while some did on the PS3 forum. Oh well, it's still playable and fun and is also one of my faovrite games in 2009.Great game until you find out that custom matching or whatever is completely broken. Once you hit level 25 good luck ever finding a game with other higher level characters. You can create your own game but good luck getting someone to join it.
thats cause its only been out for a few days; just wait a couple of weeks and im sure the number of level 25 characters will shoot up dramatically. You cant say its broken just because the general population hasnt hit 25 yetGreat game until you find out that custom matching or whatever is completely broken.

You cant say its broken just because the general population hasnt hit 25 yet Why can't I find at least one game over the level 19? I have made two characters so far and both of them are level 25ish. I literally sit there refreshing it for around thirty minutes. Even when I was level 12 I could only find games with level 8 max.. What's up with that? It seems like after at least 20+hours into the game I would see ONE game with characters over the level 19. I believe the only time I see higher level characters is when they're in Firestone but only when I don't select a character. It also has all of the levels jumbled up.. That sounds like it's messed up to me at least.Great game until you find out that custom matching or whatever is completely broken.

I hope so as I want to play with four people at once.. I have friends that have it but obviously their levels are everywhere, they're playing with friends, and etc. The best part of the game is when you and three other people are running around together. I created a match with my friend and it was literally just us two for over two hours! It got very boring as I prefer playing with four people. Once they fix it I'll love the game until then I might just create yet ANOTHER character to avoid this.
i dunno, i prefer just having two people. Simply because its so much easier to control drops, with three randoms i think it would become every person for themselves; people would take all the ammo and good weps.I hope so as I want to play with four people at once..

So far people have been great. I have been given plenty of stuff for free and I give stuff to people for free as well. I haven't had any problems with the community so far and the majority of people have headsets. It has a very mature community right now and I hope it stays that way.

This is wrong, I have framerate issues on 360. Not unplayable, but annoying.
I'm a Level 25 Siren, yeah baby!:D Ima 24 Mordeacai and soon 25.:D[QUOTE="orb_03_2006"]yup, I'm loving this game! I'm a level 21 soldier so far :Dmitu123

That's why you get a friend,and play the whole game with them.That's what I did.I'm a level 37 Siren,and he's also a level 37 Hunter.Great game until you find out that custom matching or whatever is completely broken.

no, apparently the 360 version has frame-rate issues during big fights (a lot of enemies on screen) as well too.I'm level 35 Siren and am about to enter the vault (all other side missions in Arid Badlands and New Haven completed. I have achievement for proof lol).
Loved the game so far. Only problem I've had is the lack of more side missions. kinda wanted more with more bosses. Oh well it still is a great game.
Only technical problems I've seen where invisible players in co-op, walking through walls/objects and frame drops [spoiler] Especially in the Crimson Lance Enclave towards the end. [/spoiler] But these are hardly an issue for such an awesome game. Highly recommended. :D
