Forum:Borderlands = Lame

I'm sorry, but i don't believe that this was a "great game" or that it was even good. Several things about the game just bother the crap out of me. First of all, it seems like a cross between WoW and Fallout 3, which sounds kinda cool except it wasn't NEARLY as well developed as either of those games. In fact I would say that it wasn't nearly as well developed as a great deal of games I've played. The characters had no stories or no history what-so-ever (oh, except for Tannis, one character, whoopty-doo), and the main storyline didn't really either. And as far as the game being "fun to play", how was the combat gameplay any different than any other FPS like Halo? What happened to games like "Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind", where EVERY SINGLE ASPECT of the game was deeply developed? There was so much information about the rich history of Morrowind and the Empire hidden throughout the game that you could easliy play it upwards of ten times before you knew everything about it, and the character building was so intricate that it could be a different experience everytime even if you played it 20 or 30 times. Not to mention the absolutely immense amount of content as far as quests and factions to complete. But this game? This game is weaksauce with a sprinkling of powdered weaksauce. I would call this game mediocre at best. Shallow entertainment for the weak-minded drooling morons of mainstream America. There's a lot of different weapons, but you can't customize them, there's no enchantments or weapon upgrades. I would have also liked to have been able to find armor pieces instead of just getting a new shield here and there. The character building is far too limited to be truly customizable, and to top it off, the main objective of the game in the first place is never achieved. The whole time you're playing the game you're fighting to get a shot at all the sweet loot in the vault and then you get nothing. You don't even get to enter it... lame.
