Considering that the game's three years old, I'm a little late on "discovering" it, but it's damn good. Like......second best game I've ever played. Discuss.

The game can really drag you into playing. I got it for the PC over Steam for $7.50 with all DLC and a pass to the Duke Nukem Beta.

Yes.

Me, Al Capone, Fiery Grave and whoever else was there at the time pretty much ran that game. we all shared in our loot all had different roles and we each have our own signature guns.

Loco: The Chopper
Al: Grenade (barrage) launcher
Fiery: Serpents or some other crazy gun (I forget the name)

So much fun. Cant wait for numero 2

No, I am one of those people. I got extremely bored of the game. It was alright, I suppose, for a FPS.

The game did make me realize that I need a story to keep me interested.

Exactly, after awhile I was like, need story please. I mean, its interesting but after awhile, its the same thing over and over again.

Yeah I feel you two there, Borderlands followed the bulletstorm meme of "If we can't get creative with our stories, let's make them funny as shit. That way we can totally say the uncreativity was just part of the humor or something..."

But the gameplay soooooo makes up for the story. I myself get extremely lucky with finding good guns in the wild.

Atm I have a (for those here that understand borderlands stats)

Support Ogre with a 60 bullet magazine, 125 damage, 4x Explosive element attatchment, and 86.7 % accuracy.

A Triple Helix Rocket launcher that does well over 2000 (too lazy to do the multiplication) that does 4x corrosive damage, and a 2x zoom. Ah, and I can fire it about 16 times straight without having to reload it.

Desert Cobra (It's purple :D) with 115 damage, 16 bullet mag, 98.3% accuracy, and fires in two bullet bursts.

Sledge's Shotgun (Still, because it's badass. In all honesty I've just yet to find a good enough replacement.)



I've been breezing past the campaign, just found the vault.....and now I have no idea where to go. Out of the thirty something places in the damn game i've found: 12.

Btw, for veterans of the game, where do I go next? I know there's dlc for it and I have it, but how do I aces it?

LocoCrazy

once you find the vault you can start "Play-through 2"

"Play-through 2" is the exact same thing however you can find better guns and you fight harder enemies.I would suggest that you play "Play-through 2" with 3 or 4 people.

Go to the Fast Travel Station (http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Fast_Travel) that lets you transport from area to area. This is the only way to access the DLC. Once you go to one of the DLC areas, a cut-scene will follow.

For example in order to access "Claptrap's New Robot Revolution" you will fast travel to "Tartarus Station".

Crawmerax isnt a threat now. The onlything that comes close to stopping us are his minions....thats about it.

The thing is, Crawmerax is alway 5 levels above yours, so 1-3 hits and your down, his minions are same level or a little higher i believe.

Right now, 37. Already killed The Destroyer and, I think, beat all missions on Playthough 1.
All boards, people needed to speak to, random dead bandits for map and transmitters.
All non DLC Clap-Traps for 42 backpack slots.

Randomly speaking of modding (as cheap as it is you get some pretty damn good looking weapons) I have a buddy of mine who got himself a chimera-whatever thing x4 and about 100,000 damage with one bullet.

Did I mention the thing has rapid fire? I believe I left that part out....

I was confused by it.

Lawlz I still don't understand why they needed to have me do math when I'm choosing weapons...I get enough of it in school bro....

*Comparing weapons, figuring which is stronger*

Damage: 567X11

Well I just found a way to get into General Knoxx's armory without having to set off the bomb timer, which is interesting considering I already set it off before I found it out.

In short, I found out the glitch to all the free weapons I want.....only after I set the detonator to blow it all up. F.....M.......L

Well that's arguable right there. The way I see it:

Knoxx goes down almost without a fight, and he has a chance of giving any kind of decent weapon.

Cramwerax puts up a hell of a lot more of a fight, but the rewards should you do it are incredible.

Also, you could just get a good modded weapon and rape them both, THEN reap the rewards.

speak for yourself... i only modded weapons for a short while and then they were no fun.... i made weapons.... one you would be able to find in the game but i didn't create ones that are not possible.

Crawmerex wasn't that hard if you knew how to do it.... i solo'ed him like 9 times in an hour

Borderlands still a really good game after all the years its been out all the DLC are well worth it aswell.
I have heard some roomers out there that there is going to be a Number 2. But yeah with all the guns the enemies bosses is everything a games needs love it best game i have every played :)

The really only thing that annoyed me with this games is the people online using modded weapons and one shoting the bosses as least give me a Challenge eh *sigh*

Well...Borderlands 2, or "Borderworlds" as some dub it, is somewhat of a rumor. It's really an on-and-off thing between gearbox and us. They're not saying anything about it; but they either keep dropping either EXTREMELY subtle hints or we're taking everything they say to a waaay different conclusion.

Also, even if there was, there's no gun customization. The entire element of the game is to find good guns, what's the point if you can just make them on your own? In fact that's the whole point behing modding XD

Now maybe if you could find individual parts in the wild. Say you find a magazine here and a barrel off a guy or something and forge guns out of that. Then it'll be fair, because you still need to find good parts.
