Borderlands Launch Party

The Gearbox Software Website has an invite for those interested in partying with Gearbox in Dallas on Saturday (October 17), in celebration of the launch of Borderlands on October 20. The role-playing shooter will be playable at the party, which will feature some spinning from famed DJ Mix Master Mike. You must be 18 years of age or older to attend. Also, if you're the type that skips through the shows with your TiVo to see the ads, you'll want to check out the Borderlands TV commercial, which is available on ActionTrip and AtomicGamer.

I've pre-ordered, and can't wait to play. I got it with the 4 pack deal, so there's little chance of it not providing my money's worth.

They've only shown off the beginner and early areas on purpose so as to not spoil the community with hour long gameplay videos that show everything before you get into the game. Randy estimated people have seen less than 5% of the game. There are more advanced enemies and different locales, you're not just wandering around a desert the entire time.

To me it's Diablo as an FPS. I can't say no to a game like that!

After watching someone play it on the 360 (some guy got a copy way early and was broadcasting on justin.tv) I'm pretty sold. The gunplay is pretty nice, and it looks overall like a polished game. The guy kept dying to a mini boss even.

I saw someone mention poor AI, but I think it has to do with specific enemies because others who have played it have noted that enemies use cover and actual tactics. (Makes sense... I mean..scavengers vs trained mercenaries? Yeah, I bet all the scavengers have combat training...)

I'll give it a rent for the 360.

Picked up the 4 pack - look forward to co-op carnage.

So gay. Plenty of single guys there! Avoid at all costs of course.

I just don't know if I could summon up enough inner nerd to attend a videogame launch party...

That's cool, I remember Bethesda had a HUGE launch party with special guest bands, DJ's, etc. for Fallout 3.

I'm really on the fence border with this game.
