How good is it in comparison to fallout 3?? FOR ME PERSONALLY (<– Note the emphasis) I think this game is WAY better. This game plays like an awesome FPS standalone….but the rpg elements are perfectly embedded. Plus, when you beat the game, you get to start a new game with your saved character and all the enemies start at level 30 minimum (Like Phantasy star online, Diablo 2 and so on)
The multiplayer is perfect! Imagine you're playing your game of fallout 3 and I'm playing mine…I can invite you and you can jump in with me….when you do all the enemies levels go up and they drop better loot. We do quests together and some characters have really awesome support skills. Also, this game is ACTION PACKED. Sure, you find yourself walking from one part of the map to another sometimes for a quest, but usually you're gunning down everything in sight. The end sequence leading up to the final boss (and the boss itself) was amazing.
So, too many cool things to ramble on about. The grenade mods are cool as hell, using the same type of weapon causes your proficiencies to go up… some skills seem useless at 1st but when you start getting to a higher level, things like “Gain 1% of your shield back for a few seconds after a kill” work out perfectly.
Rent it at least!! This game is too cool to just never try
barkiemailmanMemberI bought borderlands at launch and I couldn't be any happier with it! I think its one of the Best RPGs made in quite a few years now. I just finished the main quest with 1 character. Anyone want to play this online shoot me a friend request (barkiemailman). Also…….someone PLEASE get the silver viral trophy for playing with a gearbox member. If I can get it I'll share it with anyone else who wants it.
barkiemailmanMemberThis is a bad thread, you know there is a thread exactly like this on a 360 site somewhere right now asking “Why does sony suck so hard? Why do they epic fail lol lmfao omg omg omg omg”
Whatever. Anyways I do hate microsoft tho. I like to think my reasons for doing so are pretty valid. Here they are for those of you who dont already know why
1) All the games on 360 marketplace cost more than PSN. This includes DLC, Rock band/ Guitar hero content, games etc. A $10 game/DLC is 800 points on xbox (which translates to $12+tax) while the same game/DLC is only $10 on PSN. Examples include all COD map packs, Crystal defenders, Fallout DLC etc.
Beyond that Microsoft sells us those points, so god only knows how much of that extra 20% they get to claim for all those sales.
2) Microsoft dosen't let you use your own equipment with your system. On my PS3 I bought a western digital HDD (500 gigs for $137), whereas for xbox you had to pay $200 for the official microsoft 120 gig unit. Total rip off! I still got a 20 gb drive and I refuse to upgrade it.
3) Hmm another Money related one. Xbox does not let you game share (Which i totally understand) BUT!!!!!! They also wont let you buy a game and have 2 profiles share the achievements. Sooooooooooo If you have 2 kids and they both want the achievements in a game, you have to buy that same game twice. Make that 3 copies if you want the achievements too.
So thats a few of MY main reasons. I decided to omit the “$60 a year to play online” and things like that as everyone knows those. Also, I really appreciate what sony is doing with letting us gameshare with 5 PS3s, DL our PSP games on up to 5 psps, letting more than 1 user get the trophies etc etc etc. I just feel like I'm getting a lot more bang for my buck than I ever did with that Space age HD-DVD hunk o' garbage.
……oh yeah, and PSN has WAY more sales than Live too. BONUS!
barkiemailmanMemberEmdeepee is totally correct! This download sucks! You are basically just spending $3 on the trophies. Nothing like watering down the sense of accomplishment with the old “Hey, give us some money and we'll give you a few trophies!!”
Ok ok….so thats an unfair statement. Realistically a developer can make any software for PSN and now that software HAS to include trophies. Given the very short life cycle of use you'll get from this tho, it certainly feels like you're just paying for a few trophies. You can't even just set it to play your music in the background and have it as a weird equalizer at a party or anything…someone has to use the controller to make it do things.
If you LOVE having a trophy collection, it's worth the $3. Other than that AVOID it!
barkiemailmanMember………………I Love…Lamp.
Seriously tho. WTF??! Since when did the internet become a dumping ground for any thought that rambles through your head?
….actually, don't answer that.
barkiemailmanMemberI also did not like infamous…wouldn't call it the WORST game by a long shot. But I have no desire to play it again after renting it once.
My list of most hated PS3 games would be:
flOw, prototype, tomb raider underworld, skate 2, Stormrise. (can't think of any more right now)
But in my opinion, the WORST PS3 game is Mortal Kombat VS DC. YUCK!
barkiemailmanMemberJust Tower Defense games, Plants VS. Zombies, and awaiting Diablo 3 and Starcraft 2 (if not coming out on any consoles). Heard Plants VS. Zombies is coming out on PSN if anyone cares about that.

i might give this game a look how much is it i would look but the store is down atm
Sorry for the negative opinion here, but I just can't restrain myself.
I REALLY hated this game. It's a really easy 100%. I got all the “Play Game X” trophies by just starting the game and letting it play on its own, returning to the tv room every 20 mins to start the next one….my team even won a few games by themselves! (at least I got a lot of housework done by buying this)
Anyways, all i'm saying is be careful. Try the demo 1st please!

idk how the motion control will work for this but we'll see
much like RE4 for the Wii i'd imagine
Actually it can't work like the Wii one. For the wii you had to point at the screen and it used the sensor bar. For this the camera tracks the location of the controller, so instead of pointing the controller like you're aiming a gun, we'll be just moving the controller to move the aiming cursor on the screen.
So the Wii controls were good, but not very realistic as you could just rest your elbows and angle your wrists to aim. But for this one you'll actually need to move your arm like your holding a gun. Don't know if that will be good or not as when I was playing Wii my arms would get tired after a while if not resting your elbows
barkiemailmanMemberYo BigWoop, You totally ignored my post man! I agree with you though. I'm sure that not everyone is ONLY allowed to get 1 game for christmas and therefore they will buy MW2 and nothing else. I'm also sure there are loads of people that don't want MW2 and wanted other games for christmas that they now, cannot have.
Just check out that link I posted and read the article and check the rest of the site if you want. gr8jrfan's initial post that started this topic is correct (probably not the examples he listed later) but it is crazy how many companies have delayed their games specifically because of MW2 or other “heavy competition” this season.

28 here. First system was the NES. Have owned pretty much every system ever since, except for the xbox's.
…You just HAD to get on here and say that after I said we were the oldest didn't ya!

i seriously doubt releases are being pushed because of any “fear” of MW2.. for starters, MW2 is a specific genre, and will mostly appeal to those who currently play cod4 and w@w type online FPS games, while Bioshock 2, abeit a FPS, is a totally different animal, and there would be no real fear of it having to compete with MW2 based on the style of gameplay and the people. hell even MAG wouldnt have to worry too much, as it is a larger more different play style than MW2.
as Tom said, any of these games could release now, or during the xmas rush and sell, its so funny to see people act like MW2 is gonna be the “be-all-end-all” game…
Actually, According to Joystiq, MOST of the games pushed back to early 2010 are directly because of MW2. I'm NOT gonna post all the links (as they are all individual news stories) but here's one for example
http://www.joystiq.com/2009/07/08/singularity-sucked-into-q1-2010/
If you stay on joystiq. And keep clicking “Older Entries” you'll see a load of these stories…This one (as do the others) has a quote from the activision spokesperson directly stating they do not want to compete with MW2's release.
barkiemailmanMemberLOL. Hey Kris, if you were thinking we are the oldest ones on here, I think you're right!
barkiemailmanMemberyeah TomTom. “Being able to go online anytime I want”. Dude needs to get back on the proper meds.
“I was so bored after i went for a bike ride, but then I got on Xbox Live and Like, 7 hours blew by. I actually forgot I am paying for this service it's so amazing” LOL, What a loser. I imagine this guy typing that article with four 360 controllers stuffed in his pants, logged into 4 different profiles and playing Fusion Frenzy 2 all night long by pelvic thrusting on endless repeat.
barkiemailmanMemberDespite the fact DeadKlown lives up the road and was here the other day, I'll still leave a response to this.
Yeah, I'm Mark and I'm 26. First videogaming memory was before kindergarten when my dad would go to work in the morning but left detailed instructions on how to access games on our old 8088 computer. Had instructions to get into “Wheel of Fortune” in DOS. Of course at that time computers did not have hard drives. There was a series of “Big Blue Disks” (Thats the name of the series and does not reflect on the size, nor color of the disks) that came on 5 1/4″ disks that had an assortment of applications and games on them. If you think games like DOOM look ancient you have NO idea…This was LONG before the technological marvel known as the 486 Processor.
According to my parents they gave me dads old intellivision before that, but I cant remember playing anything on it. Probably just rubbed the controller up and down my face all day long, so not much has changed I guess.
