Borderlands Game of the Year

Scooter is so much better in BL1 than 2 qwq

This is why nostalgia is blind~ its not as good as I remember it to be! Okay here a run down. Borderland is a looter shoot at heart. Shoot kill loot rinse and repeat~ That fine and all if the gun play wasn't ass. I feel like my shoots didn't hurt anyone at time and I don't mean it in the way when you fire n hit an enemy it gave feed back of how much damage dealt more like my gun in their booty hole and still miss. I is very annoying at less. The NPC felt there just to put a face to who giving you missions to do.... That bring me on to the story: the game starts on a bus this is where you choose to play from 4 characters, known as Vault Hunters. with each comes with different play styles cool. short version is you looking for a vault on an alien world that makes you feel like you are in mad max. and each mission is go to point A kill B and collect 5/5 C then talk to D then finish the boss F!!! Let me just say at the end I used phasewalk to the final Boss because it felt like a chore to kill every thing in my way.

⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Dived into the game blind, no expectations at all. I grew up hearing a lot about how great Borderlands 2 was and I didn't want that to affect my enjoyment of the game. I've got to say though, it's genuinely such a solid first entry to the series! So many, so many, memorable characters that made an impression on me. I'm sure i'll recognise them all once I start Borderlands 2. The story itself isn't anything to write home about, It doesn't blow you away. But it isn't bad at all, by any means. It was very enjoyable and kept me engaged up until the very end! But it didn't stop there, I loved the expansions too! If I had to put them in order of least enjoyment to most, it would be: Mad Moxxi's Underdome Riot, The Secret Armoury of General Knoxx/Claptrap's New Robot Revolution and finally The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned. The gameplay itself is very fun! No complaints from me at all, however I did have a little gripe with how TVHM or the "Second Playthrough" went. Some enemies really do end up feeling like absurd bullet sponges, especially the final boss which can take a little while to beat. Maybe the weapons I had weren't as strong as I thought they were :(. Wrote a lot more than I thought I would, probably isn't that coherent or well formatted. Oh well. Overall I don't feel like I wasted my time at all by starting the series from the beginning, I'm actually very glad. I would probably recommend people to start with the enhanced edition though. Anyway, very excited to start BL2 now !

Borderlands GOTY é aquele tipo de jogo que envelheceu com personalidade. Misturando FPS com RPG e um sistema de loot quase viciante, ele ainda consegue prender mesmo anos depois do lançamento. O grande destaque aqui é o ciclo de gameplay: explorar, enfrentar inimigos, coletar armas absurdamente variadas e repetir. A quantidade de armas é insana, e o jogo realmente incentiva experimentar builds diferentes. Cada personagem tem habilidades únicas que mudam bastante a forma de jogar, o que ajuda na rejogabilidade. O estilo visual em cel-shading também merece elogio — ele não só dá identidade ao jogo como ajuda a mascarar o envelhecimento gráfico. A ambientação de Pandora é desolada, mas cheia de humor ácido e momentos inesperados. Por outro lado, nem tudo é perfeito. As missões podem ficar repetitivas depois de um tempo, geralmente envolvendo “vá até tal lugar, elimine inimigos e volte”. Além disso, a história não é tão marcante quanto nos jogos mais recentes da franquia, e a falta de um minimapa mais intuitivo pode incomodar. O combate, apesar de satisfatório, pode parecer um pouco “duro” comparado a padrões atuais, especialmente para quem vem de shooters mais modernos. Mesmo com esses pontos, Borderlands GOTY continua sendo uma experiência divertida, principalmente em coop — que é, sem dúvida, a melhor forma de jogar. Resumo: Um clássico do looter-shooter que ainda diverte, mesmo com algumas limitações da época. Recomendado? Sim, especialmente se você gosta de loot, coop e humor meio caótico.

[h1] Returning to this game 16 years later. Does it actually hold up? [/h1] Coming from a longtime Borderlands fan... only buy this on sale. I’ll be completely transparent. I have a lot of nostalgia for this series. Borderlands was one of the first games I played with friends, exploring an open world full of loot, fighting bosses, and experiencing it together. I remember playing Call of Duty every single day after school, and Borderlands was the game that finally pulled me away from that, and I feel like that really matters. But coming back to it 16 years later, I realized there’s a lot about this game that feels very generic. [h2][b]The Good[/b][/h2] • The loot is still special. It makes getting kills and progressing feel fun and rewarding. There’s something genuinely unique about Borderlands loot. • The game is funny. The crude humor holds up, and I found myself laughing again at moments I got to re-experience. • It still feels like a solid first-person shooter. Movement, mantling, and general gameplay all feel good. • The skill system isn’t overwhelming. It’s nice having clear direction instead of too many choices. • The characters are classics. They feel distinct and make you want to try different classes. • Bosses are unique and memorable. • Extremely fun with friends. Better with other people, but still playable solo. [h2][b]The Not So Good[/b][/h2] • Controls feel off. Sensitivity is too fast, even at the lowest setting. • No FOV slider. Very noticeable by modern standards (it personally really bugged me). • Mission structure is repetitive. Go here, do this, kill that, come back, repeat. [h2]TLDR[/h2] It’s hard for me to review this game because of nostalgia, but I personally think it still holds up. That said, a lot of it feels dated, especially the mission design and settings. If you’re curious or have nostalgia for it, it’s worth trying. Otherwise, there are better modern options. [h2]Verdict[/h2] ☐ Skip it ☑ Buy it on sale ☐ Worth it at full price [quote] [b]Steam Roulette (Episode 94)[/b] This is a review based on coming back to the game 16 years later, and I only returned because of my Steam Roulette series. My rules: play for at least 1 hour and leave a brutally honest review. At the end of the day, this is just my opinion. Take it or leave it. [/quote]

Won't even run. Imagine a game so fundamentally broken that the "Improved" (GOTY EHNANCED) version is a 3.5/10 disaster and the original version won't even open the launcher, then won't start a game, then will explode at random anyway. 2K and Gearbox are truly in a league of their own when it comes to selling randomized, unplayable garbage. I already 100% completed the Enhanced version. I am not wasting another second of my life troubleshooting a 17-year-old game that the developers clearly didn't bother to test on a modern OS. 0/10, only have this because of Pandora's Box Bundle, so you can't even refund it.

Muy buen juego, en cuanto a la historia, creo que está medio flojo pero tan poco taaan mal. Los DLCs, recomiendo los siguientes si quieres pasar un buen rato: 1- Secret Armory of General Knoxx 2- Claptrap's Robolution 3- Zombie Island of Dr. Ned 4- Moxxi's Underdome (Si quieres algo desafiante). Creo que el DLC de la Armería del General Knoxx es el mejor dlc para pasar el rato, por los vehículos nuevos, Bucherax, farmear el loot de la Armería, etc. El DLC de Claptrap está bien, aunque el hecho de reciclar (varias veces) jefes de la historia y algunos dlcs durante la parte final del dlc me dió la impresión de que quizás estaban intentado lucrar antes que agregar contenido, o se quedaron sin ideas, no sé. El DLC de los zombies de Ned (El dr. Zed con bigote) está bien, aunque los zombies son especialmente molestos, quizás ese sea el punto. Y el DLC del Underdome de Moxxi... creo que sólo si estás buscando algo con dificultad deberías considerarlo, (fue el último dlc que completé, y fue gracias a farmear la armería de knoxx, de otro modo quizás no lo iba a completar. Recomiendo hacerlo al nivel máximo del personaje, para no tener que luchar contra enemigos de nivel superior.) o si buscas acceder al almacén/banco en donde puedes guardar items/armas. Eso sí, vas a tardar varias horas en terminar el nivel de 20 rondas, cada nivel me tomó 5-6 h. Sin embargo los primeros niveles de 5 rondas pueden completarse sin complicaciones en 45 min cada uno. En fin el juego base 8/10. Los dlcs, subjetivo (compralos si de verdad te gustó el juego base. A mí me encantó, tanto que decidí comprar los otros juegos con los dlcs "Pandora's Box").
