Just picked up the game Borderlands yesterday, didn't know what to expect, but WOW. It's absolutely amazing.... a very well done, aesthetically pleasing and intuitive first-person shooter with RPG elements. I had been looking for a game that had some sort of sniper specialty mechanics and this one is perfect for it (as the Hunter class anyway).

Played it all evening and got to level 13... I haven't been this excited about a game in a long time!

I just picked it up myself, and I'm very impressed. I'm also playing the hunter class. Love me some sniping!
on ps3 or xbox? just curios
xbox here.
I got it for PC, it was $30 on Steam.
I've already put so many days into this game, about 5 or 6 on my main character. My main is a hunter level 61. I recently traded it with my friend for Mass Effect 2(which is awesome by the way). If I get it back anytime soon I'll play with anyone who has it one the 360.
How do you guys find sniping on the console versions of the game? I've found a mouse to be rather convenient trying to hit critical hit spots on enemies, and was wondering last night if a control stick could give the same level of accuracy and control following enemies. I haven't really played any console FPS games since Nintendo 64 though really, so maybe it's just a personal preference or whatever a player gets used to?
I'm horrible at console fps, i much prefer the pc, mouse and keyboard for fps and rts. Most other games i like a controller on though.
it was made by freethinkers i believe. there is missions in there that you burn scriptures. then there is the songs at the beginning and the end.
It was a very entertaining game, especially taking it online with friends.
I'm actually making my way back through it and the dlc now.

What did you think about the ending?  The game was great but the ending left me  wanting.  Luckily there is sequel on the way.  I felt like I kept in the dark during the game on purpose.  Maybe the sequel will finally answer some of those questions.

The last boss in the vanilla game was a little unsatisfying... was level 40 or so and killed it with a level 17 pistol... I liked the shorter, more entertaining boss fights throughout the game, but this last one just left the whole "Vault" thing completely anticlimactic.

The ending in the General Knoxx expansion was the best imo... pretty hilarious, and after the fight you get the craziest reward.

the last boss was very unsatisfying, and what was the vault.  We were really left hanging.  I never finished general knoxx I will have to go back and finish it.
