What did everyone think of Borderlands?

I just beat Borderlands today and it was great, I'm excited to see what they'll do in Borderlands 2. (I won't get it right away, I'll wait for GOTY edition.)

What did everyone else here think of it?

There was lots of guns that did the same thing.

What killed enemies? couldn't that apply to every game, particularly shooters, ever?

I bought it during the steam summer sale and I've played 8 hours or something, pretty f*cking boring tbh.

It was a good game...

Nothing exeptional,nothing mindblowing...

Just some solid,simple FPS fun...

Would've been better if I had some RL friends to play with,though.But I'm not allowed to have friends :P

Still,looking forward to the sequel...

I love Borderlands in my top 5 games this generation. I cannot freaking wait for Borderlands 2 to come out!

I didn't like it, but more power to you if you're looking forward to the sequel. I just couldn't get into it.

Haha yeah. Not what I mean though.

They promised gazillions of guns, but I was dissapointed it was a gimmick. Even though it was obvious.

Well the thing about the game, one of the reasons it's addicting is because, amidst all the guns that are basically useless to you, you may find that one gun that puts all others to shame... It's about finding the next big item.

Yeah,only some quests were literally impossible without co-op partners,like that creature in General Knoxx DLC...

it was pretty boring. story was trash, guns were mostly the same, the world was pretty bland and so were the missions and it needed more gigantic bosses. its only fun co op and even then it still gets boringmems_1224

I honestly thought it was kinda boring, but I'm still excited for Borderlands 2.

I thought the game was boring as hell.

Extremely boring. It took me over a year to finish it, because it never got better.

Junk.

Terribad RPG elements, average shooting, crap looting system, terribly repetitive environment and enemies, cringe worthy storyline.

Nothing in it is worth being remembered positively.

Couldnt force myself to finish it. I played solo since i cant stand playing with morons.

For me it was a little repetitive. Let's hope this one is not.

Great Game and great artstyle but FAR FAR too repetitive and for a game that boasts a bazillion guns most were pretty much the exact same thing

I thought the game was boring as hell.

Oh c'mon, people areexpecting too much.
It was fun with some friends, doing stupid stuff like hijacking each other's vehicles and shooting random stuff.

Borderlands 2 is going to be great!

It was **** boring. Downloaded it during Steams free weekend, and stopped playing after 20 minutes. **** was just too boring and I didn't like the gunplay either.

Really fun with friends, but anything is really fun with friends. Won't be buying the sequel unless it has some actual content.

BLA... i been so attempted buy the game mutiply times off steam sales for 5-7 bucks even on release. but i never did. something kept pushing me away

Then steam put it up on a free weekend game i played about 2-3hrs. and i got one thing to say

GLAD I DID NOT. Quest was stupid, guns felt same with different reskins.

My old roommate let me give it a try for a few days back about a year ago or so, and it just seemed kinda boring and generic. I really hated the art style too, just wasn't my cup of tea.

I thought it was pretty bad. I'm suprised I got as far as I did.

Great game if you don't take it too seriously.

I found it absurdly addicting. My favorite game this gen surprisingly aside from ME series. Loved the DLC too.

Oh c'mon, people are expecting too much.DrTrafalgarLaw

It was really fun and addicting, but in single player it lacked the substance of a game like Fallout or the amazing combat of RAGE and really was a good hybrid meant for co-op. Still, I put in like 30 hours and I'm still not finished so I loved it.

One of my favorite titles this gen and my third most played game this gen as well. I maxed every character, DLC and all, twice lol. Some single player and some co-op. Made no difference to me.

It was kickass.

Pretty much non-existent story
Good art style but repetitive and lonely environments
Adequate shooting mechanics
Tedious fetch or "kill so many creatures"quests
Great fun in co-op
Different classes that played legitimately differently encourages a few different replays
The worst ****ing final boss battle in any game, ever.

Overall, the game for me is a wash, but I do think that it set the groundwork for Borderlands 2 to be really great.
