*(does not) dance with glee with Suzerain*

Well good thing Quiet was here first, I might have made a lil' faux pas there...

It isn't up quite yet. Need to type up instructions and whatnot. Within an hour or two. ;)

And I am seriously considering doing an RP (as in, as soon as I think of something, I'll start on up). We'll see if ends up being good...

Haha, I should really do something aside from sitting here on Trisphee while I wait for Suzerain's game too :p

Sit somewhere else on Trisphee?

I still have my mini-fic to finish. I'm stumped for the moment.

Borderlands was such an amazing game. I haven't played it in a while since I did pretty much everything, but it's easily one of the best games of this generation in my opinion.

-ponders my nonexistant list-

Borderlands is on it >> I'm afraid of writing it all out and finding out exactly how many games I want to buy x.x

Alright, I'll keep that in mind Cupcake. I'd love to play it co-op myself, cames usually are a lot more fun that way. Not quite sure who I'd play it with but I have wanted the game since it came out.

I have no idea what this game is. *Hangs head.*

You do, too, Quiet, I told you about it before. It's like Diablo with guns. Has something like 17 billion different random weapons in it. I was pretty obsessed with it for a while, surely you remember.

Oh, and, check the gamer forum people. ;)

It's a first person(?) shooter game with RPG like drops for the weapons. With a quest mode and the like, with bosses and everything. I've never actually played it but many of my friends keep pushing me to get it.

Ah, okay. Sorry Sheol, I fail.

I'm hit or miss on shooters. My favourite is Time Splitters 2 which is first person shooter but also with a co-op and basic quest mode. Never played a third person shooter though, at least in the sense of your dude moving around on the screen. I don't know that third person views in first person games really count.

Borderlands is 1st person, and it's as much an RPG as a shooter. It's just... great. Endless entertainment.

Cupcake and Suzerain, which versions do you have anyways? I know my other friends (who likely don't play it anymore) got it for PC, but I'm always on the fence about versions.

I couldn't even begin to list off my favorite weapons in Borderlands. There are just so many crazy/awesome guns. For practicality, I always liked the Hellfire (submachine gun that shoots incendiary bullets that create clouds of flame) or the Defiler (revolver that shoots acid bullets that eat through armor).

But the wacky guns are just so much fun. Like the Penetrator (full-auto sniper rifle with no recoil) or the Mongol (rocket launcher that shoots multiple rockets that break into even more rockets.)

Oh, also, I have the PS3 version.

And I'm guessing that the different versions can't play with each other. At least that's what it usually seems like.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that's the way it is.

Heh, oh yes. My Lillith and her Mercenary class mod loved that weapon.

Did you ever get that rifle in the Knoxx expansion that holds over 1,000 rounds and fires them all in about 5 seconds? Can't remember the name, but that thing was ridiculous.

200 shots per second huh? Wow yea that is crazy. I'll make sure to get the PS3 version and drag one of you along when I go play then :p

Well, the gun normally comes with 0% accuracy, so the bullets end up going everywhere, but if you get lucky it can spawn as high as like 45%, I think.

Edit: @Dolly, Knoxx is easily the best one. The Armory has over 100 chests to loot in it and there's a glitch in the floor you can use to not activate the timer that kicks you out usually (if you're the sort who would do that sort of thing. I am. :p)

Reminds me of Perfect Dark when one got far enough into the game to get the really wierd weapons, like the alien one that could shoot through walls but you couln't tell who you were shooting at since it was essentialky infared vision. I was a fan of the Halo needleer. :).

What are the controls like? I'm a big stickler for that. I love Unreal for PC because the controls were so easy, basically the mouse was "steer" and the left button was the trigger. They keyboard was for forward and backward movement and strafing. Morrowind uses the same set up and so does Time Splitters on the controller: right directional stick was forward, backward, strafe left and right, and the left was steer (up, down, turn.) It took a bit of figuring out but once we (my friends and I) got going with it is was great.

The controls are pretty standard FPS fare, left stick walks around, right stick looks around, right shoulder button fires weapon.

I think you can customize them, too.

-sigh- Now I want-y... Well it will just have to be like everything else on the list.

I might be getting some spare money soon, via my roommate, but I want to make sure living expenses are covered first.

Borderlands wasn't a good experience for me sadly. I did terribly in EVERY fight for some reason and yes on the lowest difficulty. =(

The needler in Halo annoyed the mess out of me whenever I tried to use it lol It's homing ability did me no good, I couldn't kill anyone with that weapon unless I was bashing them (and I'm bad at melee combat in general haha). The needler Rifle that comes later though was beast! I think I started to favor that over the carbine.

Hmm. The only thing I can think of why Borderlands would be that hard is because of thee RPG elements. Despite looking like a shooter, it really is an RPG and if you get unlucky with weapon drops, it can make it really hard to deal with the enemies. Plus, some enemies require certain types of weapons to take down easily and if you don't get a good one to drop, it can make it really miserable trying to get through.

As for Halo, despite playing the second game nearly to death (only one I ever played) I can barely remember anything about that series.

Halo never did interest me, but the only first person shooters I really enjoyed were either the fantasy ones or the ones with an obvious RPGish look, like Hexen. I know that Halo is probably a good game, it just never appealed to me.

I went through a phase where I loved first-person shooters, but now I don't really have any interest in them at all. Borderlands was an exception, thanks to the RPG elements. Fallout 3, too, but that's even more of an RPG and less of a shooter.

I played Fallout 1 and 2, is Fallout 3 more "Elder Scrolls" style?

Yes, from what I gather. I never played 1 or 2.

The only shooters I ever really got into were the Rainbow Six games, mostly because they were so realistic (two to three shots from any weapon = you're dead). I used to play those online a lot. Other than that, I only really played FPSs to kill time with my DnD group while we were waiting on people.
