Borderlands
 

I think it looks kind of interesting.

The one problem I can see with it is that it could wind up being less like Fallout 3 and more like Hellgate London. The ads make it seem like they're headed in that direction already, with all the emphasis being put on the "millions of guns" in the game (read: Tough Shotgun of Dashing, Fiery Pistol of the King, etc).

No demo, though, so it's hard to say for sure. Thoughts?

apparently is selling out everywhere and reviews say its ok lets wait and see how the community treats it

It's been getting bomb-ass scores, unlike Hellgate: London. I think it'll feel more like Red Dead Revolver than Fallout 3, environment-wise.

When they first started talking about this game months back I was under the impression you made your own character. Much like in Fallout 3. In more recent talks it seams like there are 3 main characters you have to chose from. Anyone know the story on this?

Four characters.

The story is that it takes place on a planet named Pandora, and the four of them are treasure hunters looking for "the Vault", which contains wealth, alien technology, and all the things you want to find. No one has any idea where it is, but the four of them recieve guidance from some mysterious figure called "the Angel".

Oh wow, I smell a predictable plot twist somewhere in the middle of this. :rolleyes

It turns out the Angel is using mutagens from a secret military base to create an army of mutants, and you have to stop her after you retrieve a water chip from the Vault.

And all four of you are cloned from earlier, legendary warriors.

I was looking at the trailers and gameplay videos, and I really, really want want to play this now.

How does the multiplayer work on this?

LIKE GANGBUSTERS

Can you only join up with friends? Can you join up with anyone? Does it play out like the normal game? Or is it more like a death match kind of thing?

The co-op on this game is a fucking BLAST of awesome.
