Poll: Borderlands: Good Idea or Bad Idea

I heard that they actually had 17,000,000 guns in that game
I sure hope at least one of them is a revolver

It's more like 17,000,000 comibinations of 5 guns' parts. I mean, you aren't going to go out and find a chicken-shaped guitar lightning sniper. Its just typical guns that shoot different ammo.

i dont know, we havnt seen enough variations to determine whether or not said poultry shaped instrument weapon is possible

the idea is great
but thats all we know until it comes out

I know,the idea is great, but what really matters is the gameplay.

I really like the cartoonish graphics. Probably one of the first games i'll buy when I get my xbox back.

I saw that too, It kinda looks like Crackdown graphics

The FPS, RPG hybrid has been tried before, I think. At least you've got games like Oblivion, Fallout 3 which are RPGs from the first person. I don't think they were true RPS games though. Borderlands looks to tweak that concept in an interesting way, and it certainly sounds like a fun idea even if it's not well implemented.

Huh? Of course they were RPG's, I don't know how they could of been any more of an RPG, every element of an rpg is there except you play in first person.

I don't think fallout 3 really pulled off the FPS side of it that well, it didn't really try to, not that that's a bad thing.

Borderlands won't be as good of an RPG as fallout 3, but hopefully it will overcome that with great FPS elements.

It really comes down to execution, if its got great fps game mechanics, good rpg story and the rest, I mean it could be a game of the year contender but I have a feeling it's going to fall short somewhere along the line.

Great idea, but lets wait and see.

I think that R is supposed to be an F the S isn't supposed to be a G. Pretty sure he meant FPS, I can see how it would confuse you though. I think it's a great idea and it looks promising so far, really hope gearbox can pull it off. I have faith in them, since they made Half Life: opposing Force.

Actually you are wrong and he meant RPS. RPS =Role Playing Shooter.
