So I am thinking about getting Borderlands, but first I would like to hear the opinions of my fellow escapists and what you guys liked best about it.
Borderlands
- Thread starter The_Lost_King
- Start date
I have it on PC. Haven't actually played a great deal of it, I think mostly because of the FOV. I never realised it was a problem until I did, if you know what I mean.
Also it's considered a shoddy PC port.
I'm sure if you're getting it on consoles it'll be a blast.

Do you have that "loot compulsion"?
Do you like shooting hockey mask wearing bandits and creatures that can only be described as a cross between a mangy dog and a graboid?
If you said yes, chances are you will love Borderlands.
The difficulty curve tends to dip way low towards the middle of the game though.

Pretty much this. For a slightly more humourous experience, I recommend purchasing "The Secret Armory of General Knoxx" DLC. That, for me, was the best DLC purchase ever. Of all time.oplinger said:
Yeah, pretty much what everyone says above me. Plus you're better off getting it now; the GOTY Borderlands has all the DLC with it. I guarantee it will keep you and your friends busy for a while and having lots of fun.
Play as a Siren it's SOOOO much fun. Also, make sue you have a friend to play it with, or it will get stale almost immediately.
Play with friends, and it's awesome. It's basically Diablo with gameplay that doesn't center on clicking and/or getting hacked.
Oh yeah, you will like Sheogorath or else he will tear out your intestines choke you and skip rope with themCrazyCapnMorgan said:
Despite what everybody is saying the game is PERFECTLY playable solo. I played through it probably 3 times solo. Don't really understand all the people saying it's unplayable without friends.
Get the GOTY Edition if you can. All the DLC's are solid.

As a fellow PC Borderlands player, this may be of interest to you. It's a tool that lets you customize a whole heap of settings with the game, including FOV, making it a much less awful port. Here's more information, a working download link is in one of the last few posts in the thread. [http://forums.steampowered.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1085076]Loop Stricken said:
I lose track of time playing that game. It's really easy to make any character overpowered, so you're basically Robocop. It may get repetitive, but it's fun as hell and I would recommend giving it a shot.
