I do as well, but when the graphics are off-putting it's really hard to bother investing time into the gameplay mechanics. That's my point. As someone that actually followed Borderlands development, it wasn't always cel-shaded animation. In all truth, Borderlands originally looked a LOT like Destiny initially. See for yourself : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g8qF3q5GRFI When they shifted direction to the cel-shaded style it put me off so much I stopped caring about the title. I rented the original to check it out and was so annoyed by the graphic style I couldn't play for more than an hour before returning it.

  • I feel ya. Thanks for the link but I own the game so I already know. Also have you tried BL2? Game's awesome in my opinion but to each their own.

  • If you didn't watch the vid, watch it. The game you own looks nothing like they originally conceived it to be. It was a complete shift in direction to the dismay of many fans. Of course back then people didn't rage about them changing things and cry for lawsuits - they just didn't buy if the graphics put them off and did buy if they still thought it looked cool/fun =)

  • Hmm I see what you're talking about. Yeah the graphics looked better. Could be a bug they found that caused them to go back? I'll need to replay BL1 and stick with it this time.

  • Rumor mill was they intended cross-platform play and the systems at the time couldn't keep up, frame-rates became unstable and they had to scrap the idea - but move to something more accessible for console gaming at the time. This is also why BL(pre-sequel) will not be on nxt-gen systems. It's designed for PS3 & X360 specifically to work with their hardware sets. It's not even a new code, it's just BL1&2 engine with updates. It would look extremely sub-par on new systems and people would complain loudly that their spiffy new systems are playing outddated looking software. End of the day, each their own.

  • BLPS is fun. Just need to set a date for me to play that game on. Nisha is also kinda sexy too!
