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.

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.

I have weird memories of this game. I got a platinum trophy on my PS3 because I played the hell out of it. I have found memories but now that I have returned to it, I'm just staring at the screen, asking why did I think this was fun?

Shooting feel just bad but at least they have some gory effects. Every shooting game has numbers behind it, but when they show it, it just stops being satisfying and becomes a number's game. Now it is about getting the best gun to shooting the best bullets, but it's all luck based if you get the big bad gun.

It can does work, I remember the last borderlands game has some really fun guns. The weapons are simple with not too many gimmicks. Before or later they feel the same with small differences.

It has character I kinda enjoyed the humor and npc feel so destroyed mentally, but not over the Top So it's bearable. But it just can keep the feeling of emptiness away when playing it.

When I play the as a child, it was a game that was different, with colorful characters and 100000 different guns, but now as an adult, I need more in my games than that.

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.

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.
