Tell me about Borderlands...?

[seawasp]

I've heard some good general buzz about the game, and I have heard that there's a sequel out or coming soon, but I've never played it or seen it played. Is it a game I'd enjoy?

Games I've played and enjoyed:
  A bunch of the JRPGs, with Chrono Trigger and Star Ocean and Persona at the head of the lists
  Fallout 3 and New Vegas
  Oblivion and Skyrim
  Dragon Age

Games I have enjoyed but found I can't play them for long before my aged reflexes betray me and I am filled with fail:
  Action-RPGs like Tomb Raider and inFamous

Games I don't really enjoy are FPSs.

  I've also been thinking about Mass Effect. Is it important to play ME1 before ME2 and ME3 or are they pretty much separate?

Me personally? I've gotten Fallout New Vegas and I really like it. It is from the same people who did Skyrim and it has a long of open world and story. You don't have to play the earlier Fallout to enjoy this one.


But to go old school, I HAVE to recommend Legend of Dragoon. It is from the PS1 era but it is still go enjoyable.

Now if only my PS3 store would put up Chrono Cross for me to buy.

I /hated/ Legend of Dragoon. That is, I hated the twitch combat mechanic. That is, I hated the twitch combat mechanic until I used a cheat to get enough cash to buy a bunch of the rings that bypass the mechanic. The game wasn't so bad after that. :)

Persona and Grandia are still my top recommendations for PSX.
