    I really enjoyed Borderlands. I was wondering if there were more fps shooter games with rpg elements in them with ironsight and quests. Thanks!

    You could check out Fallout 3 or stalker. Gameplaywise they are quite different for borderlands but they are RPG/FPS with roleplay elements

    Theres really no mmo fps, there was a game huxley that fell through the cracks lack a funding. like satyrion said, fallout 3 is awesome for its mix of rpg and fps, the open world really brings you in. you might wanna try something like monsterhunter out too, its not fps but really fun rpg if your up for it.

    Fallout 3 for sure... but there are a few games like boderlands... Far Cry which is crap IMO.. Gears of War maybe.. but the best IMO is the world war 2 game , The Sabetour...

    STALKER over Fallout 3 imo. The gunplay in Fallout 3 is horrible. Stalker is a much better shooter. Fallout 3 = RPG with some FPS. STALKER = FPS with some RPG.

    Have you played all the Borderlands DLC? There's also more coming soon! "Claptrap's Robot Revolution"

    You might also try Bioshock. Not quite as RPG as Borderlands or Stalker but a very good game.

    oh and Dead Space!

    Borderlands FTW! :D

    Umm, I'd go with Mass Effect, maybe? It has guns...and RPG elements. Otherwise Fallout 3 and Dead Space sounds good.

    haha yeah I have beaten all the DLCs, twice/each for each playthrough. That's how much I loved Borderlands. and I already have dead space lol

    Thanks guys for some suggestions. I've been thinking of getting sc2 just randomly since I've heard some good things about it. I just wish that its single player portion will last few hours worth of 60 dollars.
