Borderlands

A game i have had a fascination with is Borderlands. It is the first of its kind, a game that incorporated the online multiplayer RPGs and a first person shooter. It was a fantastic mix, because it could attract both people who love to play RPGs and people who love to play first person shooters.They managed to incorporate many of the elements in RPGs into a first person shooter. One was, like the armor you colect and switch out with all the time in RPGs, shields, which you find various versions of with different capacities and abilities. Another was the weapons, which to do they made a huge range of different types of weapons you could find, because every time your about to find a gun, it will be randomly generated with a number of different gun parts, features, and every statistic, so to obtain good weapons you will have to look for one, just like in a RPG. The third similarity is the skills, which in borderlands is the special ability of the character you chose. Each of the four characters has a different ability, like to drop a shielded turret, or to throw a flaming attack bird, and as you level up you gain points to spend on different abilities which affect your gameplay, whether it be to increase your gun's fire rate, or to increase the damage of your turret.
The beuty of Borderlands is taht it is the first of its kind, so what it is now is only a preview into what it will be, and what other games will be. Borderlands is only the start, so the future looks good.
