That borderlands pic was all I needed to see.

Borderlands wins.

is this entire genre of fallout against borderland, if so i have to go with fallout with its armies of super muntants, power armored soldiers, robots, veti birds,energy weapons, mini nuke launchers and not forgetting giant battle mech Liberty Prime and aliens.

Correction, Fallout has been here before in the Gears of War vs Fallout, which is a universe fight like this one.
*Secretly hopes the FP Banhanmmer doesn’t crash down on my head.

Liberty Prime FTW !!!
I’m not sure who would win.

“well I’m pretty sure the MIRV, gatling laser, alien weaponry, and a giant Teddy armed Rock-it launcher are more than on par with anything from Borderlands or at least any weapons I have on it…”

At the very least Eridian weapons stand up against alien tech

The MIRV and the Giant teddy armed Rock-It luncher… both pale in comparison to a rocket launcher that can fire ten rockets in a large spread.

The Gatling laser and the FatBoy are the only things that Borderlands has no answer to, and even then Crimson Lance types look about as heavily defended as the Steel Brotherhood who don’t exactly fall in seconds.

Orbital superiority > Everything else

With only ground based enclaves, the denizens of Fallout era Earth are going to find life very difficult against an enemy with access to interstellar travel.

Gameplay wise I side with fallout, I can replay the story over and over.

However going off of weapons and the like, I’m going to throw my vote in with the crew from Borderlands.

Brick can take out an entire military company with his beserker mode, and for certain absorb more rockets and explosives than the Lone Wanderer can who, (if played properly) is arguably the most powerful character in Fallout 3. Someone mentioned Liberty Prime, but the borderland boys fight those Rakk Hives which are several times larger and meaner.

So while the Lone Wanderer can clean up stuff like ghouls, raiders and slavers on his own well enough — the crew from Borderlands — Mordecai, Brick, Roland and Lillith can perform similar stunts, so to the strongest character in Fallout 3, can be countered with the four main ones from Borderlands.

The fat man would be a helpful tool perhaps, but in a valley where both sides are fighting it’d be a bad idea to use. On top of this Mordecai is a certified badass with that rifle, on Fallout 3’s end there isn’t really anyone in particular that can be designated a sniper save for the player character. All the helpers in Fallout 3 are just sort of “use whatever is given” so I’m going to assume that no one can out-snipe mordecai save for an appropriately built Lone Wanderer.

So gameplay I’d keep fallout, but in terms of character strength and shoot outs, I’ll go with borderlands.

Like they say, Fallout 3 is rpg with fps elements.

Borderlands is a shooter with rpg elements. So the primary shooter wins the shootout.

fallout has aliens with spaceships

is intended to show that in the realm, orbital superiority, both forces have ships to wield for their defence and offence, showing neither side has the greater strategic advantage over the other.

meaning one side can sit back and utterly decimate the other, while they stand their helpless.

how does it being an add-on subtract from it being useful in this debate it doesnt stop being canon just because it wasnt part of the main game since it was designed, programmed and released by the company as a official part of the game.

since the point raised was one of orbital supremacy, in which i tried to point out that both forces have equal footing in this area.

“since the point raised was one of orbital supremacy, in which i tried to point out that both forces have equal footing in this area.”

Apparently unquantifiable has a different meaning to you than the rest of the human race.

out there by my quest

soz should be

out there be my guest

“Borderlands have Sirens which has supernatural abilities. Borderlands owns every anarchistic ruffians that roams the wastes.’

Eh the Siren’s powers aren’t really impressivebesides the game says that like only thirteen people have magical powers, and if their all comparable to Lillith’s then it won’t make too much of a difference.

“One more thing, no one in Fallout has a hula shirt like TK Baha.”

yeah Fallout is screwed there

They have different backgrounds. Sure, they are both fictional, but Fallout has actual human history and Borderlands is in a galaxy far far away (hey, that sounds familiar!). Just because they both have “Vault” doesn’t make them similar game system. IMO, Fallout crosses many barriers of basic RPG system by incorporating turn-based combat system (Fallout 1, 2 and Tactics) and then added FPS/TPS (Fallout 3). While Borderlands clearly stressed itself in FPS with character-building element, but less on some RPG elements like talking, etc. Anyway, story-wise I vote for Fallout 3 but for game-play fun it’s Borderlands.

im sorry everyone but i dont know where else to put this…..

can someone plz help me i bought the goty edition for ps3 i have downloaded no content and it has frozen 8 times within 1 hour has anyone got a solution?

Fallout does have the aliens, however, Borderlands, especially now with all the DLC, has major advantage. We don’t know the stats of any of their space ships, but the Crimson Lance, Eridians, The Destroyer, Drifters, and all of the other beasts would pretty much massacre Fallout.
