Looking forward to getting Borderlands next Friday, never really played it before but I've heard it's a cracker.
Can't beat a bit of Star Warsfoxy said:There is a severe lack of games coming out, I'm glad that I'm still entertained with GTAV.
Rumours are that Starwars Battlefront gameplay will be released in April...

I beat the second boss last night then stopped so i've not played it long enough yet to decide whether i prefer this to the souls games. The lack of a shield is a bold move. Takes some getting used to, was getting my arse handed to me at the start for a good hour until i started to get to grips with it. I like that it encourages you to play on the offensive though giving you a chance to earn lost health back for attacking straight after taking damage.
Not sure how the streamlined stats and seemingly lack of many weapons/armour/spells will go down, especially later on as i get further into it, so far it seems like there's not much purpose for going off the beaten track and looking for secret areas as there's so little loot to obtain.
The enemies all being practically giants is, for me, a strange choice. standard "villager" enemies are all about 3 foot taller than your character. It doesn't have any impact on the gameplay, bar maybe them having a slightly wider reach then you may be used to fom previous games but it's just a very odd decision.
Love the way they've gone back down the demon souls route of everything being inter-connected and the way you're rewarded for progress by unlocking shortcuts back to starting areas, i wasn't a huge fan of the bonfire warping.
One major flaw right now is the absurd loading times everytime you die or travel back to your home area. It's literally about a 45 second wait staring at a black screen with the title on it and nothing else. It's far too long but thankfully they've already come out and said they are aiming to patch it asap to reduce loading times.
