Considering the game pretty well revolves around loot, having a final boss that drops a bit of cash, some ammo, and a craptastic pistol thats worse than an average C-Lance handgun just doesn't fly. It's like beating Oblivion and only getting some mediocre armour set..oh wait...
Yeah, I knew they were going to throw somehing like that, but still.....
The boss was so easy! You took some cover behind the pillar, shoot the bastard for 10 seconds, take cover again, repeat 100 times.
And what was up with that Claptrap at the end?

I was expecting something unpleasant. But I was expecting a challenge too.bob1052 said:
I think my rage was due to the combination of no loot, no challenge and no fun.
Then I went back to start my second playthrough. And loved it. Borderlands, for me, is so much more about the journey than the destination.
Are they all in the town proper? I've only seen two chests in town, and all the others are hiding in the scrap piles guarded by bandits. Also, I think the patch that just came out broke the farming somewhat. You can still do it, but you need to exit your session and start the game over again. No fast travel exploits.Mekado said:For great guns it's much easier to game the system in new havenSoviet Heavy said:
There's 5 chests in town(including 2 red high-end ones), no enemies or obstacles (other than jumping around), just loot them, teleport and repeat ad nauseam until you get the guns you want.
...kinda broke the game for me though.
Oh, and yeah the ending sucked.
I was soloing it, and for some reason, as soon as the Crimson Lance portion of the game started, I began getting the shittiest guns imaginable. So I had to take down the bastard with an SMG that I got around level 25.ciortas1 said:

Personally, I think the Secret Armory did.AnOriginalConcept said:
Get Knoxx, that is the true end to Borderlands.
i thought the ending was brilliant in a bizzare kind of way, now hear me out first, and look at it from this perspective. If you though you were disapointed with the ending, how do you think the characters in the game felt story wise? all of their hard work pursuing a myth they heard in childhood involving a vault stacked with riches and it turned out to be all for nothing
You know I expected there to be nasty surprise when I first open the vault. Ancient evil, vault guardians, space vaginas, what have you. But my problem was that there was no actual reward for defeating said monster. In the end all of my grinding and gun hunts were for nothing. Its like finding the end to the rainbow but there's no gold just a leprachan who kicks you in the nuts.
"it's all about the journey, not the destination..."
Plus, you have a second play-through and DLC that you keep your weapons through.

I lol'd hard when I saw this post, mostly because I saw it coming.Soviet Heavy said:
I was the exact same when I completed it, I could have eaten the disc at that point in time. Although I still went and almost completed a second playthrough and DLC, as well as getting to level 50.
This guy knows where it's at. Middle of fight looting is also the worst.GoldenMech said:
"Hey! I wonder what's in this red chest?"
"I'm dieing over here!"
"Hold up, animation sequence."
"DOWN, I AM NOW DOWN. THANKS TO YOU."
"Cool, a super powered [gun that you use]. I bet that will sell for a lot."
[Player] quits, the monsters of Pandora weaken
Actually, I absolutely love it. You're being misled the entire game by money and treasure by Hyperion (who is seemingly aware that there's nothing in there) that is using you to snuff out their biggest rival Atlas, I would have been really disappointed if they had have given you all the guns, money, and pat on the head saying, "Well, there's your happy ending you mindless twit." The DLCs do wrap some story up, especially the ninja claptrap.
As for the boss fight, yeah it's easy but the entire game was easy. Hell, if you were weapon farming like I was, I had a 188 (x4) SMG that killed almost anything in six shots.

Yeah, pretty much this. Though you can actually hit 69 before beating Knoxx and do the farmory glitch, which works well for pearls and legendarys without actually having to kill Craw. Sadly, I learned about the glitch after I beat Knoxx. :/Sir John the Net Knight said:
Yeah, you were only safe if you played with people you knew, and then you STILL got into loot arguments.KEM10 said:
With building up something like that; it needs to either meet the expectations or it needs to go in the other direction and be absolutely shitty or totally empty. It would have made more of a point if the legend had been a total fabrication built up by years of escalating rumour. And it was built on an exculpating legend, it was doing pretty well. The problem is they put in something that was meh. It was meh because it seemed like it was supposed to be an enemy that was genuinely impressive but it fell short.
Still I enjoyed the game over all and I?m not going to hold the mishandling of the ending against them too much.
