How would you guys rate this game out of 10? What you like best? What you didnt

I didn't play the multiplayer portion so I can't be fully informed, but the singleplayer campaign was surprinsingly fun, and it'll keep you busy for 40-50 hours if you're thorough and want to collect the most badass weapons. It's a 8/10 for me.

I'd give it like a 7. It was a fairly cool game (though I only made it halfway) but there were some boring parts and the story failed.

9/10 - Excellent

Pros: Setting is fantastic, Pandora is a fascinating world; good character progression and customization capabilities; solid weapon diversity; nice boss characters, with many having well done encounters; three solid DLC additions; graphics and sound are good to great; I like the way the story is told, but then again I hate cut-scenes; lots of quests; can approach quests in different manners in many cases; a bit of humor.

Cons: Long hikes, especially in the instanced areas with no vehicles, open-world areas work much better; extra audio logs with lots of the background info were cut which doesn't flesh the world out for people who don't want to track it down; billions of weapons, but you generally keep to the same ones for a while until you find something significantly better; same for shields, grenades and class mods; lack of diversity in the standard enemies who are pretty dumb until after the "twist" and does somewhat limit how engagements go down; "CHECK ME OUT I'M DANCIN"; one horrible DLC; hiding too many options on PC, plus how it loses my settings every so often; Bloodwing in comparison to the other powers; does little to escape RPG style quests to fully utilize the FPS aspect except in a handful of cases; environments fit the world but are somewhat repetitive and bland, especially the instanced areas; they removed the red chests from New Haven.

Co-op: Can be more fun or worse depending on what idiot you're playing with. Especially if they're some kind of fool who doesn't know where to go in any game ever without following indicators even if the map is static and contained and you spend tons of time in it. And yet they whine if you drive them there because "they wanted to find it by themselves" so they drive across four zones with loading time instead of fast traveling or something.

"One horrible DLC"

And that I guess the Underdome one?

[el badman]

The Zombie island of dr. Ned (I think that's what it was called) was a really cool DLC.

Wow. The longest game install ever... I am applying path 1.41 right now on top.

Anyways. My Gamespy ID is: bowdown295

Hit me up.... or however it works.

This game so far is fucking ridiculous and repetitive. You are forced to kill a million types of dogs (Skags in the game) which require a million bullets to kill. Ive been killing those dogs for fucking ever. Just fucking bored. Waste of money

[benji]

Shoot them in the mouth when they roar. Or get a shotgun/sniper rifle, that'll put most of them down in one shot. Adults (early on at least) and Alphas excepted.

[bowdown]

Alright. Im lvl 31 right now and the game has definitely gotten better. I guess it just took me a while to accept the fact that dogs, spiders and other weird shits are part of the game.

Hey I am doing a new play-through with a new character. Anybody here want to play with me on PC? I want to try out some Arena stuff they have.
