If anyone has played 'Borderlands' online... am i "forced" to co-op in a group?

Like if i want to just farm items or whatever, can i join a game with 3 others and then just run off and to what i feel like or am i stuck with their group?

Cuz i joined a game and tried to walk out from the cave i spawned in, but by doing that it said i "initiated travel" and it counted down, then all 4 players got teleported out lol, i heard some dude that had voice chat on and he was a wee bit annoyed when i did that, they had to run from the beginning of the cave again heh

I picked up a copy of Resonance of Fate about a week ago and have been playing it off and on. I'm still in chapter 3, so I haven't gotten into the real nasty mess of combat, but I can safely say that RoF has renewed my faith in (some) JRPGs.

The two killer features are honestly the dual audio tracks (for my inner weeaboo, though the dub is good too) and the Suspend function. Being able to stop just about anywhere is really convenient because I just really don't have that much time to sit and not be able to sit through hour-long cutscenes or not be able to save for several hours. Unless it is a boss fight, I've been able to stop within 20 minutes max.

The other plus is that it doesn't take itself serious at all. The game knows it is cheesy as hell, and plays up on it. A lot of JRPGs recently take themselves so seriously but still filled with such stupid situations that I can't take them seriously. Resonance of Fate plays it up worse, really getting into its own cheesiness, and it works wonderfully. It comes off as a Buddy Film and the over the top John Woo style combat ties into it perfectly. The stand-alone nature of the chapters also works nicely into my schedule that doesn't always give me a lot of gaming time.

Plus you even get to play dress-up with the characters (like FF X-2 but more fun).

The real shining star is the combat system. It requires a combination of strategy, technique, and general skill to be the most effective. The system necessitates that you are able to use the variety of methods (each requiring planning) to gain back the gauges that you need to pull off the flashy moves. Even those are vital, because enemies will turn away from you to guard themselves. That combination requires the strategy to be in the right spot, the technique to pull it off, and finally the skill and timing to get that one last shot off. There is always room to grow in skill, even after you've got a handle of the complexity behind the combat. I still can't pull off Bonus Shots reliably.

Let your guard down for even a little bit, and you die really fast.

Still playing CoD MW2 - its quickscoping time now.
also i'm playing through FF XIII and Ef visual novel.

[Assertn]

Starcraft 2 beta. duh.

[Xelbair]

SC2 beta got me bored already - maybe because I've been playing with my friend with Korean-like skills..
I'm going to do 100% run on last remnant after i get it back from my friend.

Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Heroes 3 on PSP. I'm currently making my way through the Master Road mode trying to unlock more characters, since the game only gives you 11 at the start.

[Buffalobiian]

Watching and co-playing Red Dead Redemption with my brother.

Cheating in poker's never been more fun.

Is the game good? Im still undecided wheter to get it or no.

[Marik]

If you liked the first 3 Ultimate Ninja games on PS2, then you'll probably like this one. To me it's much better than those because of the roster, 4 player battles, and I can use X-link Kai to go online and fight others, which adds a lot of replay value to the game.

[KrayZ33]

played through Lost Planet 2 yesterday

awesome game if you ask me.. but it would be even more fun when u play co-op with 3 friends during ur first playthrough.
really well done.

Now I'm going to play Killzone 2, never played the first one because I never had a console before.

[animus]

Just started playing a bit of Alan Wake. It's pretty fun so far.

I'll prob pick up Red Dead Redemption in the near future. Not really itching for a sandbox game atm.

[Halodude]

for me I'm still going strong on Halo:CE for the 'puter, Minish Cap on GBA and Halo 2 PC.

Playing Split Second on the X360, pretty awesome game. It's a racing game with a twist that's probably been done before but is still a lot of fun.

Does it have split screen multiplayer?

If I have a race where it's P1 vs P2, is there an option to have bots on as well, or does it only set you to up to race?

I'm trying to decide whether I'll get this or Blur.

(After some more trailer hunting.. maybe both. Still leaning towards Blur for the multiplayer experience, but might get Split Second for the story-mode.)

[Animeniax]

Yep, there's split screen multiplayer (2-player max split I think) and you can set it up to split horizontally or vertically. Not sure about the bots when you're already on multiplayer.

Has not been done before.

And yes bots in splitscreen.
And yes splt/second > blur (imo).

Though they are both great, if you can just get both.
