Borderlands Game of the Year

游戏将第一人称射击的爽快感与角色扮演的养成、掉落体系深度结合，打造出独一无二的游玩体验。 四名主角各有专属技能体系：罗兰的炮塔支援、莉莉丝的亚空间移动、莫迪凯的鹰宠狙击辅助、布里克的狂暴近战，不同技能搭配让职业玩法差异鲜明，玩家可通过升级解锁技能树，打造专属战斗风格。 而随机生成的枪械是核心魅力，枪管、弹夹、元素属性的自由组合，让每一次打怪掉落都充满惊喜，暴击、元素特效带来的花式杀敌效果，更是将刷宝的成就感拉满。 游戏用粗犷的西部式叙事和黑色幽默，打造出充满野性的潘多拉星球。从话痨的小吵闹、野心勃勃的军火商马库斯，到神秘的守护天使、风情万种的莫西，每个 NPC 都有着独特的性格与故事，哪怕是主角团，也藏着各自的身世谜团，让冰冷的废土多了几分鲜活。 但作为一款主打玩法的游戏，《无主之地 1》的剧情只能用 “简陋” 来形容，主线围绕 “寻找秘藏” 展开，流程就是接任务、杀怪、交任务的循环，几乎没有跌宕起伏的情节，甚至不少玩家通关二周目后，仍对核心剧情一头雾水。 游玩后期容易产生审美疲劳。 《无主之地 1》并非一款完美的游戏，它的剧情、AI、细节设计都存在着难以忽视的短板，但这丝毫不影响它成为一款划时代的作品，开创了 “刷宝射击” 这一全新品类。

Heavily disappointed with the main story. DLC makes it slightly better but the amount of running back and forth required is honestly offputting and a huge waste of time.

Very fun, assuming you have the patience to apply 3000 different community fixes just to get it to run properly. Don't bother with the Enhanced Edition, it has even more issues. Look up the Borderlands SDK mod, which has plugins to fix common bugs, fix the FOV, add quality-of-life features, etc. Also, disable Dynamic Shadows in the graphics settings. The shadows are the single biggest source of performance issues, and the game doesn't even look that bad with them disabled. My GPU usage went from 90%+ to around 45% after disabling shadows. As for the game itself, it's a ton of fun. I love the difficulty level, which is actually quite challenging at times. The loot system is also balanced well. Some games with similar loot systems can get a little overwhelming, but plentiful shops and a decent sized inventory make it reasonable here. Progression feels really natural, and exploring the world is enjoyable. The gunplay feels a little dated, but it's serviceable enough. The animations are a bit stiff, and certain sound effects feel out of place, however the basic act of aiming and shooting feels fine. I also think the world itself feels kind of dead. There are plenty of missions and weapons to keep you busy, but there's a lack of variety in areas like NPCs, enemies, and dialogue. This feels like a solid start to a series, and I'm looking forward to playing more.

Borderlands 1 is old, and it hasn't aged well. Enhanced Edition provides some much needed QoL, but it can also muddy what you might consider the original experience. That being said, this is one of my favourite games of all time. The sheer atmosphere you feel walking around? It is dreary, it is hopeless, and it is dusty, but it is gorgeous. The music, the sounds, the blood, the screams of the psychos, it is just a delight to walk around and cause mayhem. Reading the flavour text of everything you pick up, choosing to walk instead of driving to explore every little shack and hut you see, this is a game that you can really get immersed in. And the loot? Don't even get me started. Play this game slowly, and savour every minute of it, the series hasn't been the same since.

this review is actually for borderlands 3 (who came up with not being able to leave a review for a game you haven't played before??? was it John Steam?? Because you can count your days buddy boy, the snail is coming and I'm bringing salty hell with me!!) anyways, the game was hard to navigate. I couldn't find the border nor the land. and there was supposed to be 3 of them?? anyways my stepson anthony and his vicious HARPE girlfriend (now fiancee) BETHANY came over tonight to watch the family feud. steven James harvey was on and he said something about my review regarding the park bystander 17 from before. I laughed, I cried but most importanly Madam Zeroni needs to be carried up the mountain still

Enhanced edition is better, but Borderlands is Borderlands! Awesomeness!

Para unos su primer GOTY, pero para mi... mi primera paja. XDDDDDD La verdad el juego ha envejecido como una esponja de alambre (al menos si lo comparas con su hermano con numero de mayor denominacion). Pero ya enserio, es un juego que te dara muchas horas de entretenimiento, su sistema de generacion de armas, su loot, el farmeo y la progresion te engancharan. y esto se intensifica si le sumas unos 3 amigos mas. Uno de sus elementos que no puedo alabar y destacar de forma positiva, es su historia. Honestamente pienso que la idea/concepto es bastante interesante y llamativo; al principio todo se desarrolla de buena forma, un ritmo normal nada super alaborado, pero esta bien, sin embargo al cabo de unas horas, pareciera que la historia desaparece por momentos prolongados, como en una forma parpadeante, por algunas misiones llegas a recordad: "ah! por eh llegado hasta aqui", y su presencia no se hace totalmente notaria, si no ya hasta el final del 3er cuarto de juego. Pero siendo totalmente honesto eso fue algo que nunca me importo. Como mencione, gracias a su sistema de generacion de armas + Farmeo + looteo + sus momentos de combates, lo convierten en un juego bastante adictivo y enganchante. Los elementos de RPG en un FPS, para mi fueron una locura, algo totalmente nuevo y acertado. La emocion de encontrar un arma legendaria y la satisfaccion de pegarle un headshoot a un enemigo (o diana viva, con capacidad de eleccion y conciencia o como quiera llamarle) con ella; Subir de nivel luego de enfrentarte a oleadas de enemigos y ver como tu arbol de habilidad crece. Todas esas satisfacciones efimera que llenan el alma ya que no las conseguimos en el mundo real se juntan en este comic en movimiento.

Borderlands GOTY is still a fun and important looter-shooter, even if it feels a bit dated today. The game’s biggest strength is its intriguing loot system, with tons of crazy weapons to collect and experiment with. The comic-book art style also aged surprisingly well, and the co-op gameplay is where the game is at its best. Also, the atmosphere's unique; it combines sci-fi with post-apocalyptic western elements and even some dark comedy tossed in. The world of Pandora is a  harsh, lawless desert planet, with plenty of empty roads, abandoned outposts, rusty metal towns, and endless rocky landscapes that give the world a lonely, dangerous feeling, while enemy camps and random encounters constantly remind you that survival comes first. The characters introduced are memorable (all 4 vault hunters are fun, plus some classic NPCs like Claptrap,  Scooter, Mad Moxxi,  Dr. Ned, Marcus, and even "T.K." Baha). The soundtrack is fitting and much more minimal than what you get in games nowadays; the game spends a lot of time with ambient sounds: wind, distant creatures, vehicle engines, and radio chatter, and when music does appear, it usually has a subtle industrial, electronic, or western-inspired tone (combat tracks become more energetic and chaotic, but the soundtrack is more focused on supporting the mood rather than grabbing your attention). At the same time, the game can become repetitive because many missions follow the same pattern, and the gunplay is not as smooth as modern shooters. The story is also pretty simple compared to later games in the series, but at least the characters are not cringe-worthy and don't have annoying dialogue. Even with those flaws, Borderlands remains a great experience for players who enjoy grinding for loot, building characters, and playing with friends. It may show its age, but its style, humour, atmosphere, and gameplay loop still make it worth playing.
