Borderlands? whats it all about? is there a point to all of this?

[champ222]

So Borderlands has a lot of fans, so i thought id check it out.

i'm nearly 20 hours into this now, and ive only really learned that there might be a vault, or some treasure, or something. and that everyone is a loony.

What are the high speed travel things for? I start a challenge or whatever and i just follow the arrow/waypoint thing, but i dont know "where" that is, so i cant use the speed travel thing, as i dont know what area i need to travel to.

I feel like ive missed the point of the game somehow.

Ive kind of been enjoying it up until now, but ive just quit a mission as i got the hump with it as there is never ending travel and i keep dying, the guns are ****, he can jump really high, and really slowly, but not onto anything useful, or over anything useful.

WTF?

I just want a game thats not irritating to play

I'm playing the first game. The enhanced version.

So there is no real story to it then?

I'll stick with it a bit and play it in smaller chucks perhaps.

thanks guys, maybe i'll just dip in and out of it, but start something new. I need something to play when COD is doing my head in... which is quite often these days, or maybe i'll just play black mesa, HL2 + episodes again
