Borderlands

I just wanted to have a peak into this game, being a FPS fan, and... I decided to stick around. The game is utterly fun. It really is, but on some occasions it gets tiresome, just like most of RPF/FPS games, well if you're playing for pretty damn long time. It grabbed my attention maybe because it reminds me on S.T.A.L.K.E.R., Fallout 3... and maybe little bit on Hellgate London. You know, it has a lot RPG elements... you play with the character that you choose at the start, you can't make your own character, you can just... change their clothes color. But, all those thing are justified in high-voltage, twisted and tense gameplay, really the game action is pretty cool. The more you're growing with levels... the stronger you get. Your opponents are pretty hard, they are specific, which is good point in the game, the AI is also pretty good. The music score sounds pretty swell and ominous on some occasions. The graphics are cool, like being in a comic book. The same graphics were used in new AVP (2010) I guess. You are a mercenary who fights his way to the legendary vault, full of treasure, being attacked by desert nomads, killers, psychos, spider-ants, flying Rakk things... mutants... There's also a lot of references to Mad Max for example, which I like very much. Another reason, perhaps for some people to play this game. I gladly recommend this game to those who likes post-apocalyptic games (well, it just looks visually post-apocalyptic, actually it's an another planet), you'll enjoy it.

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.

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.

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.

Let me start this off by saying I'm a massive borderlands fan, I played a little bit of the second game at my cousins house and I immediately bought the pandoras box collection for my Nintendo Switch (yeah yeah I didn't play it on an Xbox or Playstation but I can't afford much). It was a ridiculously good deal at 30 bucks for all six games not including Wonderlands. Now I played this first of course, and despite hearing mixed signals about this game, it's an absolute blast. I played by myself the whole game, and it was the most fun start to a video game franchise ever. A lot of people judge it for not having a good story or good gameplay, but I actually love the gameplay, and yeah the story is meh but still this game started it all. You get to pick between four vault hunters to play as. This game has cool gunplay and the enemies are unique enemies instead of typical thugs. I absolutely recommend getting this game for whatever game device you have if you have one. If you're a fan of fun story first-person looter shooters, than this game and the franchise as a whole is damn perfect for the people that love that kind of stuff. Overall this game is great and it's the second best of the franchise, and then a couple years after this a masterpiece of a sequel came out.
