@ Mikewarrior, I’m on Deac friends list and I’m not a 360 fanboy and I do know a good game when I see it. As far as good games, it depends on the likes/dislikes of the gamer. I like Modern Warfare and I will be getting Modern Warfare 2. And I think Halo sux so I have to agree with you on that one. But again, opinions are like a$$h@l@s, everybody has one.

Always a good rant from you Mike!

I want Borderlands ever so bad, but my wallet is ever so skinny…. :’(

The people I know that saw it loved it but the atmosphere apparently is what helped make it good. It was a packed theater filled with people that scare easy and yipped out of fear lol, everyone fed off of that and enjoyed it.

By Teh Way: Hi guys I love you and bacon is awesome…..

Yours is full of 360 fanboys… That have no clue what a good game is. They buy Microsoft exclusives (Like Halo) or be a true sheeple & buy CoD whatever. lol

Hell Deac, even you were hardly on. = IN YO ACE!!! lol

@Mike, you don’t have friends apparently LOL. watching your friend’s list is a good measure of how hot a game is. but then like i said, your friend’s list is obviously not as diverse as mine

First of all Deac… Stop hating on Borderlands! Just because it’s not an EA, or Crapcom games doesn’t mean you should show your bias. lol

Sales will be very good for Borderlands due to word getting around about what a great game it is. Basing how good a game sells by just your friends list alone is not the wisest thing to do… Hell, if that was the case, I would say most 360 owners are not playing games on 360 at all… We know that’s not the case.

About that FiftyOne marketing… Are you joking? = I sure hope so.

Is that what you would like for your bday? And do you really want all these fine people to read about your fetishes all out in the open like that?

So paranormal had brilliant marketing. They only opened where they knew they would get money and to a crowd the desired their product (win and win). As far as the movie itself- it wasn’t THAT horrible. ‘Bout as good as the SYFY channel weekend B movies. It had some cool parts and pretty good actors for a low budget flick.

As far as learning from it’s marketing- there was much to obtain from that.

Borderlands will most-likely pick up in sales since it is a pretty good game. But you make a valid point that timing is a bit off. In this economy many gamers have to be very thoughtful in how they spend their money on games.

As far as your birthday goes… Jesus called and said he wants his sandals back! (I just had to :p )

#1. As Gamerskills pointed out it came out at a bad time. Timing is KEY

#2. I haven’t seen much marketing for it, even though it DID receive good reviews

#3. I told people the economy has finally started to HIT gamers. I would expect good sales for only well known, or highly anticipated, heavily marketed games.

#4. This holiday season will be very interesting

That’s all I have to say, tune in tomorrow for my next analysis.
