Borderlands was a really fun game I really enjoyed playing, and I still enjoy playing. I got it sometime in 2009 (I think), but I've still not finished every single thing in the whole game or the DLCs. Only DLC I've finished is "The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned", I started on the "Mad Moxxi Underdome Riot", and finished the story missions for "Claptrap's New Robot Revolution". And I've beaten the last boss in the basic game. But that's about it.
But over to something else. If you haven't played Borderlands before you might wonder "What kind of game is this?"
Borderlands is a FPS RPG. You can choose between 4 playable characters which represent 4 different classes. We got;
Mordecai - Hunter. His special ability is a bird he can upgrade to attack and give you loot. His special weapons are snipers and revolvers. Read more about him here: http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Mordecai
Lilith - Siren. Her special ability is the phasewalk. She goes into a halfinvisible state and can transfer elemental effects onto the enemies and deal damage that way. Her special weapons are SMGs and elemental weapons. Read more about her here: http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Lilith
Roland - Solider. His special ability is his turret. He can upgrade it so he can heal players when shooting at them, and to make the turret drop supplies. His special weapons are shotguns and combatrifles. Read more about him here: http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Roland
Brick - Berserker. His special bility is to punch the enemies and become more resistant to damage. He can be upgraded to deal more damage and endure more. His special weapons are explosives, and his special ability; the berserkermode. Read more about him here: http://borderlands.wikia.com/wiki/Brick
Borderlands is also a game for it's guns. I'm not kidding, there is alot of guns in this game! Many of them might look alike, but there is more than 2 000 000 different builds on the weapons! This makes it really varying and each weapon also have different bonuses. That can be different effects, like fire/lightning/corrosive/explosive effects. These are really handy in some cases, since some of the enemies are weak to the different effects. And it's really fun to see burning enemies run around like crazy! :p
Let's see, what more can I say? CARS! You can drive around in the world after completing spesific missions. They're not a huge part of the game, though, but it's fun to drive around like a boss and run over a few enemies :p
The game has 4 fun DLCs:
- The Zombie Island of Dr. Ned
- Mad Moxxi Underdome Riot
- The Secret Armory of General Knoxx
- Claptrap's New Robot Revolution
But you don't need to buy every single DLC if you get your hands on a "Borderlands Game of the year Edition" for around 30€, then you get everything! :D
Ok, so the basic about the game is told, I guess. Let's see what I think overall on the game!
- The fun cartoonish graphics style! It's not often you see games with these kind of graphics. This was really interesting for me who is really interested in high graphics. The style is pretty original and comforting to look at. It makes you feel like you're in another world, which you're supposed to be. :)
- The weird storyline is actually kind of awesome in it's own way. I won't spoil anything, but the story have it's emotional parts, and it's fun parts. The game is based alot on humor, and I guess that's one of the main reasons I love this game! <3
- Loveable characters! The character design is just lovable! Enough said (without spoiling things).
- Fun DLCs! The DLCs are totally worth it in my opinion! There is so many missions and bonus stories by playing them, lots of new weapons too!So I recommend buying the GOTY version of the game if you don't own it already :D
Well, i guess this is all I got for this game :D
Now I need to edit a few more videos for youtube^^ I got partnered a few days ago, so I'm pretty excited^^
Until next time~!
