First Borderlands game i´ve finished. It´s fun if you are looking for mindless shooting, that aspect of gameplay holds up pretty well and it´s for sure the best part of the game. Main quests can be entertaining and varied, side mission are pretty repetitive, and sadly necessary to stay properly leveled, from early on, and still the game gets a little stale in its second half.
The DLC is fun too, and pretty varied in terms of setting, but suffers from the same issues as the main game, expect more of the same when reaching them.
I get that the planet is mostly desert, but the look is just really bland and unappealing. The cell shaded look is compelling enough, but it lacks color and personality, which i´m pretty sure the sequels fix this somewhat.
I too get that it´s presented as comedic, but i can´t remember laughing a single time throughout the more than 30 hours that this took to finish, your mileage may vary with this I guess.
The loot aspect felt a bit unncessary and over the top. Yes there are like a million different guns, but pretty much all of them feel good to use, are findable everywhere, and as long as you are properly leveled and are using a high level weapon (which I repeat, are very easy to find) you wont have a hard time playing and can forget about any other stat or buff or whatever. Maybe in higher difficulties this matters more, I played in normal and rarely found something i couldn´t get past by just equiping another gun I already had.
I played solo mostly, just tried out the multiplayer once and it seemed to be pretty fun, and it´s clearly set up so you can join up with friends easily, so maybe give that a shot.
Yes, I recommend it if you are looking for solid mindless shooting. It kept me engaged enough to finish both the main game and the DLC. Gave me 30+ hours of entertainment for basically nothing, so if you are curious and can find it cheap I say give it a try.
I´ve seen some reviewers saying that they had buggy experiences, honestly i cant remember encountering a single issue but I havent played the non "remastered" version so take my word with a pinch of salt.
I´m looking forward to playing Borderlands 2 now, as people seem to like that one more. If it retains the compelling elements and fixes the clunky stuff from this one I´m sure it´ll be a much better experience. Maybe try that one first if you aren´t convinced by this one.
