Today I’ve bought Borderlands. I don’t know why, exactly. I switched on the Xbox, fully expecting to be playing some The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Then I saw the ad for some Borderlands 2 stuff, and I thought that I hadn’t played a good shooter in a long time. The old game was available for download and cheap ($19), and I had been thinking of Jet Set Radio for a while. The cell shading mesmerized me. Now that I’ve played it for a bit, I’m sensing boredom around the corner because of the repeated “get quest, move there, fight, move back…” (I must admit that I have the flu, so that might explain it all.)
I *really* enjoyed playing Tom Clancy’s Ghost Recon Advanced Warfighter 1 & 2. What would you recommend? The review I read about Future Soldier basically said that the best part was mutliplayer online gameplay – something I’m not planning to engage in.
Back in the days I also liked Medal of Honor: Frontline. There was a mission on a train, however, that proved to be too much for me. I was frustrated and never finished it.
I guess I’m spoiled!
1. I want more realism and tactics like in G.R.A.W.
2. I want more radical differences in missions like in Medal of Honor
3. I want more meaningful plot elements like in Sykrim
I’m just happy that Borderlands doesn’t keep spewing forth enemies like the Call of Duty games. I *hate* it when the game forces me to advance instead of letting me pick off enemies from a distance before moving in.
One thing I really like right now is the soundtrack.

I’m on my second play through of Borderlands 2 currently. Somehow it doesn’t get boring for me. Unlike Skyrim which overwhelmed me with the amount of quests and the time they needed!
Get well soon.

The overwhelming number of Skyrim quests is in fact a bit of a problem for me, I agree.
