Borderlands: a Stu Review

[Stugots]

So far, I like it.  It's like, Fallout 3 meets Halo, meets WOW.  Fallout 3 because of the setting, Halo because....its alot like playing halo, you drive the vehicles the same, it has a recharging shield, and you the movement of the character is a lot like Halo.  And WOW because of the rankings of the gear you can get.  White, Green, Blue, Purple, Orange.

Action is good, fights are good, and tons upon tons of weapons.

I like the look too, kind of like playing some sorta cartoon.

There you go, simple to the point.  I like it so far.

ya its a good game, the co-op is nice, but i wish there was more versus.

The only complaint I heard was that the weapon upgrades are random, so you really can't mod them out how you want. You basically just pick up a new gun, get tired of it, and find another one. But still looks fun.

Yeah the few purples I have found had at least one stat that I didn't like much.  (got a kick ass shot gun that held 2 rounds and fires both...so...shoot reload shoot reload shoot reload etc.

I've heard that the quality of the shit you get increases when you do co-op stuff.

Also, what's the worst part of this game?

The fucking jumps.

i got it for x-box, stu. is PC different?

[Stugots]

I think its the same Paul, just can't play co-op cross platform I don't think.

The worst part of the game:  You go into an instance.  Fight your way to your goal (which can sometimes take a long time), maybe there's a boss...you die a few times, etc etc etc....which takes even more time.

You finish, kill the boss...start heading back to the entrance of the whole thing, and its respawned, so you have to fight your way out.

Not a HUGE deal but a bit of an annoyance.

Just thought i'd say, I'm liking this game even more post high teen levels.  It's shitloads of fun.  Hopefully going to try out some co-op play tonight with Bhustanut (old friend)....guess he's been playing aion with phaz and them.

I remember busta from waaaaay back.  I might have to give this game a whirl sometime.

I remember busta from a brief night of passion. He was a strapping young lad in his prime, and as for myself.. I was having a meltdown, and in the middle of an identity crisis. I felt as though I were a woman trapped inside the body of a man, yearning to breath free.

I remember when busta first came into my life. It was during a Carnival cruise in the Gulf of Mexico. I was a waiter, my body ever wishing me to be a waitress, on an escape from it all. I was lounging in my cabin, trying unsuccessfully to escape the midsummer's heat when I first noticed busta.

Busta was with the cruise ship staff, and he was sent to work on my air conditioning unit which had abruptly stop working. I can remember him now as if it were yesterday.. his short sleeve shirt on, and his firm bulging muscles, covered in beads of sweat. I invited him into my cabin for a glass of tea, and lets just say the rest of the night I will never forget.
 
I just can't believe that I would have encountered him again, after all this time. I might have to give this game a whirl sometime.

Fixed.

Offtopic, but what ever happened to Nutsock? That guy had a classy sense of humor.
