Alright game. I can see how it's enjoyable to some people and I did enjoy some of the dialog but it's too stretched out and boring to play. If you're gonna play this do it with a friend.

i would die for Blood Wing it’s not even funny

Maybe I've got a bit of bias, since I grew up playing this game, but it's so distinct from anything else in the series—that makes it special to me.

There's this serenity to it. The NPCs you meet can only be interacted with so much before you have to leave them behind and move on with the game, and for that reason it's an isolating experience. But that isolation isn't lonely or painful. You're a vault hunter, little more than a mercenary, and the planet you live on simply isn't the place for a social simulator. Really, you spend most of your time doing quests, traveling the vast borderlands, collecting loot, and shooting baddies. Alongside an awesome, ambient soundtrack in the background, this game establishes a strong atmosphere for Pandora and sets a tone for the rest of the games. While, technically, it's far from the highest quality game in its series, I think it's essential to understand just what Borderlands is. For that reason, it's special!

Not as good as the second game but it's still worth it.

Borderlands is like a loot-splosion party on a wacky alien planet! You and your vault hunting buddies shoot your way through tons of crazy enemies (psycho bandits are hilarious!), grabbing a ridiculous amount of guns and gear along the way. The cel-shaded art style is awesome, and the world is full of dark humor. The story itself is kinda forgettable, and the repetitive quests can get a bit grindy. But if you love frenetic action, tons of loot, and co-op fun with friends, Borderlands is a blast.

I did enjoy it at the time, if I were to play it today I don't know
