There could be a thing as too many guns Borderlands.

I'm excited for Borderlands, i think it looks like a lot of fun.

But the developers keep touting that there are 500,000 - 1,000,000 guns in the game. And i know they want people to believe that all these guns are unique and different and cool.

But the thing is, it's going to end up being guns that are similar but with different stats. I feel like this is going to turn in a micro-managing fest to get the best of each type of gun. Could add to the experience or could become tedious.

Also, how are the guns scaled? As you level will the guns level with you or do you run the chance of finding a crazy good gun in the begining of the game? If they are scaled to your level. Than everytime you level you'll have to renew your stock of weapons and all the weapons you find will have very similar stats, making all the millions of guns in the game totally pointless.

Thoughts?

yea I have a feeling this game is either going to be A: an inventory nightmare where you are trying to keep 60+ guns in your inventory, or B: you have 1 gun you love and the rest of the guns are just junk you sell off.

I hope this game doesnt turn into a mess. It has tons of potential.

500,000-1,000,000? i dont think there has been that many weapons invented in the history of man kind. Maybe if u took every gun from real life and every game ever created, maybe...but even then i think your pushing it

EDIT: are they talking about completely new guns or are they talking about pistol, pistol with silencer, pistol with scope, pistol with silencer+scope etc?

All I can say as a true gun nut is you can never have too many guns.RAMRODtheMASTER

I think most of the guns are going to end up sounding and feeling the same when you fire them.

That's what i'm worried about. I would have rather they come up with 25 good fun weapons with different levels (ala Mass Effect) that i'll actually use instead of millions of worthless things. Whatever, nothing to do but wait and see. I'd hate to see this game ruined by this aspect though.

I agree that there can never be too many guns. You'll probably only use the best few you've found or the few that your particular character uses best. It's not like you'll have all 500,000 in your inventory all at once. With this many gun variations no one gun should ever get old. I'm more worried that they don't seem to have incorporated armor.

Wow you guys know nothing.

Go to the Borderlands forums, you can have four guns equiped with a limited amount in your inventory and unlimited in you safe.

The game has over a million guns by the way.It will be awesome so get over it.
