Resume Play's Nathan Grabowski writes "The reason I feel so compelled to discuss this with you all is that I see Borderlands as being dramatically different from Fallout 3. Yes, as I've stated, they are in the same 'post apocalyptic' setting (though not really. BL is set in Pandora, not Earth). The genre is FPS RPG (That's a lot of acronyms, ffs), but it is the subgenres of the games that really define it. Fallout 3 has elements of exploration, adventure, and even survival. Borderlands is an arcade-like shooter, built "From the ground up" for multiplayer action. Multiplayer, people. It features RPG elements found in a lot of classic and popular computer RPGs such as Diablo and even WoW (There is pvp, pve, epic loot, random generated loot, character classes, skill trees, different color categories for items, etc). Borderlands looks hectic and fun, with action taking the lead and story / variety of quests taking the back seat. Fallout 3 could arguably almost be defined as the opposite. People criticize this as 'slow pacing', but I consider it an entirely different type of play."
Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."
Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.
2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.
If you are looking for an awesome RPG, look no further. Steam is offering a significant discount on its Fallout Franchise Bundle.
"You can get all Fallout games in a bundle at a significant 20% discount on Steam. Individually, all these games add up to $244.91. With the discount, you can get them all for $195.91. That is $49 less than the original price. Quite a significant discount for such a popular franchise."
😊 😂 🤣 😐 - But why?
Just wait for a sale and get most if not all of it for a fraction of that price.
20% off...lol
The original games have been given out for free by Amazon for GOG and Epic, 76 is free now on Amazon if you have prime, Epic has also given out new Vegas for free and 4 has gone down to pretty cheap prices. 194 bucks is a total ripoff when you can get these games individually for less. Don't forget cd keys might sell em for a dollar less at times too. Come on man, us cheapskates won't touch anything near or above 100 lolz
The artist behind Fallout 4’s Deathclaw reveals just how bad things got back when Bethesda took over the series
People are stupid I get it. No one should feel unsafe,
But I think they need to talk about why they cut so many corners during the development process and why none of their games ever look current. And why they think all of this is okay while they charge full price.
Oh the choices. If only I could get both Borderlands and Game of the Year Edition. Although to be fair, I would have to pick Borderlands...BUT ONLY because I've already beaten Fallout 3 once.
It's a fantastic game. I don't think that Borderlands will have that immersion factor or as much environmental depth, but just the same, I'm quite excited.
I really need to pick up some good games for my 360, this one is definitely on the list.
In all honesty, the only really similarities I see is setting and genre. Other then that there different. Yes there both FPS/RPG mixes, but Fallout was a different blend then Borderlands looks. Fallout was like Oblivion, while Borderlands shares more similarities with games like WoW, skill tree's and class's and such.
I can't wait for borderlands
