So far so good

This game is great! A nice departure from the average FPS. The RPG elements really add some depth, but they dont get in the way of the action.

When I was considering whether to buy it, I had some reservations since it looked to be a pretty demanding game graphics-wise. But it plays very well on my imac (granted, Im not that deep into the game yet). Im running it on an i3, 512 vram, 4 gb ram, and it looks great. The only thing is it defaults down to 1280x720, with all graphic settings maxed. I tried it at 1920 x 1080 and found that the fps suffered even with the settings scaled back.

The thing is Borderlands is still very playable at lower res! Theres something about the graphic style that just works. Some other games Ive played on my imac just dont feel right when I lower the res. Dragon Age Origins for instance really starts to feel claustrophobic, and the performance improvments are negligible at 1280x720.

All in all, if you cant stand to play games in anything less than native resolution, then maybe think twice. Otherwise go for it and enjoy! Very original game!
