Borderlands is a new Role-Playing/First Person Shooter game for the PC, 360, and PS3 coming out this November. It looks fantastic, as the game seamlessly blends the two of the most popular game types. Here are descriptions of four characters you can play as:
- Brick: A massive beast of a man who has the ability to beat the daylights out of anything! He wears a necklace adorned with the paw of his beloved, but deceased, dog. He fills in for the the walking tank role and can take quite a beating, and can chug berserker-state inducing pills for short bursts of power.
- Lilth: Once a human, Lilith at one point was turned into a siren. One of only six known Sirens, they are a group of people with amazing powers but no way to control them. She can affect time and become invisible.
- Mordecai: Mordecai comes to Pandora in search of a man from his past named Demosthenes. When he learns Demosthenes has died, Mordecai sets off to learn how he died and what he was carrying. He specializes in sniping and hunting players.
- Roland: A former member of Crimson Lance, a sort of highly trained private military that disregards laws, he is here to fulfill a decade old vendetta. He is the support player.
There are four more playable characters that haven’t been anounced yet and will have individual roles and stories.
The guns l0ok like the best part and amaze me! There are to be more than one hundred thousand guns in Borderlands. In fact, the latest count of the number of guns in Borderlands is 17,750,000. Holy shnikies! According to Gearbox producer Simon Hurley, “Silver weapons have greater chance of achieving an extreme critical hit, while black weapons will fire quickly, but lack accuracy”. A poster on the Gearbox site says that the color of a weapon signifies its type. Yellow is high explosive, green is acid, and blue is electrical. You may never see the same gun again!
It looks amazing! I am definitely buying it!
