Ok, whoever said Borderlands isn't a FPS...is your grading scale: holding a gun controller = FPS? ;-)

Posted by JD (aka Jason Dean) Apr 29 '20, 22:30

There's a variety of sniper rifles for crying out loud

It is fun though AND it has option to save from pause screen.

At some point, I'm going to shoot Claptrap though.

Just run through the electrical fence....

If you run fast enough you'll limit the damage

Maybe run faster?

No selectable difficulty level, just the earned harder version but I think I've only died uh, 3..4..5 times? and one of them I either drowned or froze in the frigid water when I walked off the ice

I'm never, ever, ever playing one of these games with the rest of y'all on-line. I'd be the absolute worst teammate ever. You know those videos of kids playing tee-ball and there's the kid in the outfield who wandered off to look at a lady bug and then when its brought to his attention that ball is generally in his area, eventually picks it up and promptly throws it a base behind the runner....on 8 bounces. That's kind of how I play these games

Responses:

Whoever said it wasn't an FPS is wrong. It's the pure definition of first person shooter. -- nm - Shaun Apr 30, 05:22 4
- For some FPS only = Halo/Doom/Quake and the RPG nature of it pushes it out - Reagen Apr 30, 05:31 3
  - Yes. That was where I was going with it. I feel it needs to be differentiated from the call of Duty types. -- nm - Qale Apr 30, 06:19 1
    - I agree. It's a shooter, but not exactly the same genre as COD, Destiny, Doom, etc. -- nm - JaxSean Apr 30, 06:54
  - That's a dumb argument, but hey, people like being wrong I guess. -- nm - Shaun Apr 30, 05:32
someone said it's not FPS? I mean, open word RPG FPS, but still FPS. I just got 3 on sale last week, it definitely has scalable difficulty. - mafic Apr 30, 02:19
We have played with bery. After that kind of chaos, anything is tolerable. Are you playing BL2? Which character? -- nm - ST Draft Analyst Apr 29, 22:38 14
- I was using Battle Royale strategies before it was a thing. -- nm - Beryllium Apr 29, 22:58
- Did start with Borderlands 2 and just remembered that I was downloading 17 GB textures update in bkg so wonder what it will look like next time - JD Apr 29, 22:45 12
  - I'm a wanderer, it's why I like playing the campaigns on my own. - JaxSean Apr 29, 23:20 11
    - Same. I need to explore and can't play it with others. - Krusty Apr 30, 04:49 9
      - The nice thing about the BL model is that you can jump in and out of that style as needed. -- nm - Reagen Apr 30, 05:40 8
        
        When you're playing with a group it's hard to leave and go back. You feel obligated to stick with the group. Could just be me that feels that way -- nm - Krusty Apr 30, 05:43 7
        
        I always wander off when I played bl3 with groiny, so did he. - tRuMaN Apr 30, 06:55
        
        I've always found overall with Borderlands, that even though it's open, it's still fairly linear. -- (edited) - Shaun Apr 30, 05:50 5
        
        That's true. It's not open world like Fallout. But I still like to wander around and grab items which you can't do in multiplayer. - Krusty Apr 30, 05:53 4
        
        I think we probably pace similarly - Reagen Apr 30, 05:59 3
        
        Exactly. -- nm - Krusty Apr 30, 06:09
        
        Especially in Borderlands. Kill a major boss and it takes 30 mins to sort out all of the loot shower. -- nm - Shaun Apr 30, 06:03 1
        
        Yup. There is so much to go through after each battle -- nm - Krusty Apr 30, 06:10
    - I've realized I'm wanderer as I have no sense of direction. I manage to get lost even with the map - JD Apr 29, 23:27
