    I need to get this off my chest, Borderlands is possibly one of the most overrated games ever made. I don't see what the big deal is at all. It's a fun game, but by no means is it a big deal. The multiplayer isn't anything too special I mean we've seen similar features in games like World of Warcraft and the Campaign while indeed fun has no story to speak of and is just point and shoot. I'm not saying it's bad, but it isn't one of the best games ever made or anything.

    I'm lost... are you getting a rant off your chest, or are you being sarcastic?  That "/sarcastic" at the end of your post is indicative of a sarcastic tone, but you prefaced this and titled the post in a serious manner.

    Nobody ever claimed it was the best game ever. I mean even Jeff, who really likes Borderlands, says it does have it's problems and that playing by yourself can more easily get tedious.

    Internet sarcasm is lost on me.  
     
    Borderlands is a fun game with a lot of flaws.  I haven't seen many people who will argue that the game is anywhere near perfection.  If, on occasion, it made some GOTY lists it's on the strength of the "fun factor" and not because of the animation, richly envisioned characters or moving plot.

    I love Borderlands, which is amazing considering how much of it is borked. I don't think most share that mentality too. It's not over-rated at all. It's a really good game with flaws. And?

    I think you're being overly critical - but don't worry, it's a common problem with most gamers.

    Maybe so, but Modern Warfare 2 is overrated and I have good reasons why it is. They may not be original reasons, but they are certainly valid.

    Pardon? I didn't post the first comment. I was merely stating that I thought people were overlooking the sarcasm of the original poster.
