Also there was not one mention of the fantastic writing and voice acting. Scooter and Tannis (and all of the claptraps) always made you smile.

I have to disagree with the complaints about the poor porting. I just played through the game and apart from the inability to scroll down on the quest information when you are given it (instead you have to accept it and access it from the menu) I didn’t notice anything wrong with the porting. The visuals looked great without any glitches, mouse controls were great, auto-aim, although on by default, could be turned off and was never in the way.

But that hosting thing is BS, thankfully I have friends with better internet connections so I never have to host.

I agree the replay value sucked, i mean the DLC for zombie area gave me 4 hours more, for 800 GP I was exspecting more, but oh wells :/

I’d like to agree with you, but honestly this game had almost no substance after the first playthru, I beat it once and up until the ending it was a great game, but second playthru on it just seemed a drag. No replay value for me and this is coming from a person who has beaten Stalker: Shadow of Chernobyl a good 4 times. I’d give it around a 6.5 for previously noted UI and just lack of replayability.

I’d give it an 8.5, probably cause of all the horrible other pc games

I wish I could get the game to run.
After the install I click on the shortcut nothing happens,even going from programs nothing happens.
I even opened and closed the dvd drive that at least brings up the menu to hit play which of course does nothing as well.

…in a direction and flipping rather than bouncing around as they would in reality*

Apologies.

Pff. Who uses voice chat.

Borderlands is screaming fun, and challenges the Player in a way which make the Player experiment with tactics and weaponry. I prefer Long range attacks? Just use Longbow Grenades and a Sniper Rifle. I prefer Halo Style Beat-em-up? Use Bouncing bettie/Sticky grenades and Shotguns/SMG. There are a Bazzilion other possible stratagies to be tried aswell.

This is Phantasy Star Online + Unreal Tournament 3. Amazingly well combined. The Movement system is implemented well, but Players seem to bounce off cars when attempting to stand on top of them. If cars are hit with Melee attacks, they seem more occupied with moving in a direction and flipping then bouncing around like they would in reality(if the Player was a Muscle Man, rather than a Lax Couch po-ta-toe).

The coupling of this Unreal Engine 4, and RPG Elements is a bit like 2 ugly people getting together and making really good looking offspring, although there is an issue. Borderlands Streams Textures almost constantly, and having a low spec computer, coupled with programs (Windows Fista/Anti-virus/etc..) updating and using up your hard drive causing the mouse to skip and have jittery aloofness, is a recipe for INTENSE angry swearing at computer screens. Keep a tissue handy to wipe off excess spit.

Cheers to the Borderlands team. Playing a Port from the 360 is still a privelage to be playing this game.

Thank you and good night.

@Playthrough 3
I agree. Whereas I was playing Diablo II and Phantasy Star online YEARS after release, I doubt this game will have much of a following in 6-8 months.

I’m currently done with this game as of two days ago. I’m unbelievably experienced with oldschool RPG’s. Dragonquest, FF1, 2, 3, all completed before most of you were even concieved. I’m a vetran of counter strike as well, playing since v1.1. This game provides a beautiful blend of both honestly, with visuals and physics to match. However I sat and played all of the afore mentioned games for hundreds of times longer than I’ve been able to play Borderlands, why? Borderlands stops the interesting part of the gameplay after the first absolutely busted ending. I was somewhat psyched to the second playthrough but was pretty bored the entire way through as I had done 95% of the quests already. Hoping for some kind of different ending or SOMETHING to make the game seem worthwhile to beat twice I was thoroughly let down to know that you only get to go through the entire world with every mob at lvl 49+, no new quests, no third playthrough. I’m not sure what you guys are smoking when it comes to calling a game that only provides 20 hours of unrepetitive gameplay good, but I’d like to be there with you because as of right now I’m calling this very beautiful looking/playing game one of the shittiest of all time. Shame on the developers for not doing more with it.

Yes, it’s your Mom again kids. j/k

I bought this game on steam with the 4-pack, and it’s fantastic. I was blown away to see a review of 7.5 because of a menu, or crappy voice chat.

Also, opening ports on a router is very easy, and there’s tons of docs online to help you with it (I’ve even come across programs that’ll do it for you). I myself wouldn’t consider opening ports a workaround…

I had actually rented this game on ps3 (since PC was a week late), and loved it as well. What drove me nutz about the console version though, was the split screen. Talk about menu navigation problems.

Anyways, love this game, I would have given it 8.5 on PC as well as consoles.

Love,
Mom
