Borderlands

This game is amazing! Sure I did get tired of the repetitive side quests, however the shooting makes up for that. It is so much fun! Play this game, it is my favorite in the series.

Just listening to this song define what Borderlands is about. This game has some dark and dry element to it which makes it feels like you're really are in a wasteland. All brown and gray, dry and bland, atmospheric, very cartoonish, and shiny meat bicycle. The humor in this game is the charm of this game and will go along time in the series.

This game is so much fun. To me it combined the FPS shooter of say Halo with the character leveling and weapon variety of Diablo. Don't get me wrong, it is neither of those games but thats the best way I could describe it to friends that since have played the game and love it as well. The game itself has a simple story, nothing overly fancy going on here. There are main missions and side missions that you do not have to complete. The enemies come back after leaving a level, including bosses. Which, at first are hard to defeat but upon leveling up you can always go back and destroy them for the hell of it. The weapons are fun and so are the character classes you can choose. Now if you are looking for weapons like in say Call of Duty, this is not for you. This game is not meant to be an epic FPS, it is more meant to be fun and a good way to kill some time. Online content I am not sure of, I have only ever played co-op campaign online and it was enjoyable, anything else online I'm not sure. But this game, if you like leveling up, building your character the way you want, using cool random guns, and just blasting random mutants, then don't even think about it, go get this game.

A great loot n' shoot co-op experience that built the foundation for its masterpiece sequel. I love this game for opening me up to a genre I knew nothing about.

Remastered Game of the Year Edition: My friend has been bugging me to play this franchise of games so here I am, coop and all. Got to say, not bad at all. The story is a little weak. I enjoy the premise of a planet people go to to find this secret vault, but they don't really elaborate too much in this game. You kill lots of guys, endless variations of weapons to pick up, (which is annoying at times tbh) driving like an A-hole, and of course, doing missions for sketchy folk. Speaking for the dlc, I enjoyed most of it. One I didn't find too good was Mad Moxie's Underdome. Didn't really have a purpose or story to it.

In all, I'm not disappointed. I had somewhat low expectations, and they did surpass them, but not by much. I wish there was more to this thing; a lot of the missions seem unimportant, and really, all of the main missions feel like side missions. I did like a lot of the jokes throughout, and specifically enjoyed Scooter. "My mamas ladyparts". Can't wait to dive into these sequels.
