After watching some interviews regarding the coop mode, i was quite excited. Now that i've checked some more gameplay trailers, the game seems to be more of a maniac shooting-feast in which you

1.do nothing else but constantly fire like a madman at everything

2. collect gigatons of stuff

I wish the rpg-element would be a bit stronger, as it is still a bit too much of a "shooter with gimmicks" for my taste.

that doesnt sound so bad. most FPS games as of late have too many gimmicks and focus a lot on realism. i like the sound of mindless shooting of hordes of enemies, like the old Doom games, or Painkiller. of course thats just me ehehe.

Sounds basically like a diablo style fps

Could be fun, i'll probably end up giving it a try since it supports coop play.

I guess the game is more suited for the Diablo 2 and Hellgate (lol) crowd. A deep RPG game comes out on the 3rd November (woho).

I enjoyed Hellgate... but when they did that whole P2P fiasco I think it just really fell on its face. I hope some day it gets revitalized because it was never a bad game and I think there's still a lot of untapped potential there.

I'm totally not interested in Dragon Age: Origins, and Borderlands looks like it's going to be an entertaining romp filled with laughter, loots, and destruction! A game right after my very own heart.

Picked up my copy monday night and it is tons of fun. So many mobs to kill so much loot(grenade mods, class mods and artifacts) and the 4 player co-op is great. It is almost exactly like Diablo 2 and Hellgate but with guns. You will finish the first playthru around level 30-31 and the next playthru is harder with better loot and more badass mobs to kill. It is very addicting. :)
