    Very Fun Game To Play With Friends. The story is OK, the graphics are OK, the soundtrack is Good and I think that one of the best things of this Game is the variety of Weapons. Playing alone, like I did some of the times, is really boring, but with friends...Completely Different Game! 7/10

    I wouldn't define Borderlands' plot as useless or inexistent. It mostly represents a pretext, it certainly does not shine by writing, humor is at medium levels, without ever exaggerating too much. Characters like Scooter, Claptrap and Zed still lack that characterization that would have made them iconic; the most interesting character is, indeed, "Angel" played by beautiful Brittani Johnson, who accomplishes to present herself as seductive and eloquent. These elements make it a light plot, which is followed with pleasure, although it can be quite boring in some parts.

    Borderlands' gameplay wanted to offer something innovative and, in a sense, it certainly succeeded. Quest diary, I must admit, is one of the best I have ever seen in a video game: always clear, it provides the information needed, it has no obvious problems of overlapping objectives; really well done. Variety of secondary quests is good, they differ in type and they entertain, although obviously some excel in quality over others. Excellent the idea of ​​creating different weapons/equipment manufacturers, each one specialized in a type of weapon and with its own recognizable peculiarities; this, I'm sure, is one of the game's success factors. Rarity system used for the loot (even the weapons) works well: colors - from white, through green, blue, purple and finally orange - give a nice visual impact at the time of obtaining the reward; a good design choice. Unfortunately, at least in the basic game, the problem relating to levels and "experience aging" is very noticeable: it becomes increasingly difficult to get EXP points, and only the most recent enemies guarantee a good leveling. As in other cases, I would have preferred an increase in the NPCs' level directly proportional to that of the player. Weapons are also subject to aging: a legendary orange but low-level weapon can easily be outclassed by a common white high-level weapon. Loot generation's random algorithm works well, but it's obvious how it would have been improved, since it's actually quite common to find weapons that are very similar. Variety of enemies is good, which is also reflected in the vulnerabilities that every type of enemy has: fire, acid, electric or explosive. In general the concept of "Role-playing shooter"... works. It turned out to be successful with the use of different classes, each one with its own UNIQUE class ability and perks, impossible to be found in other classes. Does it remind something? Yes, that's how RPGs worked until the first half of 2000s, and it's interesting to think how, looking both in 2009 and 2019, shooters incorporated elements from RPGs, while RPGs themselves lost things like "classes", which made them, well... "role-playing" video games, in fact.

    Cel-shaded graphics turned out to be a strength in Borderlands. Making good use of Unreal Engine 3 rendering, Gearbox managed to guarantee a stylish look to the game, which at the same time struggled to age: it's still nice to look at and succeeded in everything, from characters to environments, even 10 years later. In short: cel-shading ages well and better. Nothing exceptional about the soundtrack, though. Certainly a catchy song like Cage the Elephant's "Ain't No Rest for the Wicked", which is only heard during the opening sequence, is not enough to save the whole thing.

    Borderlands is a great video game. Not perfect, and not everything positive it has, eventually come to shine... but it's influence is tangible. With at least 4.5 million copies sold, the game became Gearbox's golden goose, which would then create a sequel on these basics that would eclipse this first chapter. Then, after 10 years, just think about Cyberpunk 2077 and how, as far as we know now, will use a color-based loot and rarity system similar to Borderlands.    … Expand

    The most overrated game I've ever played in my entire life.

    First off, it's repetitive as hell and extremely boring. Second, the shield is useless.

    First off, it's repetitive as hell and extremely boring.

    Second, the shield is useless. The idea was to allow you to take a few hits before losing any actual health and it recharges over time, but 90% of the enemies you face follow you, the other 10% have ranged weapons, and both deal enough damage to completely deplete the shield in 1-3 hits. This is especially frustrating when the enemy AI is extremely high to the point where they have better accuracy than you do and can kill you easier than you can kill them even with worse weapons and equal level (sometimes even lower leveled) as you. Plus, all the bosses are enemies that follow you and deal more damage to you than you can to them to a degree worse than the normal enemies in the game and you can't run away from them far enough or fast enough to give your shield the time that it needs to recharge.

    Speaking of running, it takes forever to get anywhere in this game. Sure there's vehicles, but they control worse than the MAKO from Mass Effect, and there are some areas where, even with vehicles, it still takes forever to get anywhere. And if your vehicle is destroyed for some reason, you're forced you to walk around in an area that takes forever WITH A VEHICLE. And while one person could argue that the game's "Fast Travel" helps with this problem...it does not. The "FT" system is another good mechanic in theory, but it has its own set of problems that make it completely worthless. The first being that some areas have multiple "Fast Travel" ports while others have none making it useless for certain missions. As if that wasn't enough, there is almost no way to find out which port is which without spending some time making a map to use detailing such information as the map in the game doesn't do it for you.

    This brings me to my next problem: the maps. First off, you have to go to the options menu in order to see a map of any kind. For the first few missions, it's not that bad. But as you progress through the game, it gets more frustrating as you have to constantly check the map to make sure that you took the right paths to get where you want to go. I guess that the developers at Gearbox forgot the industry standard that is the mini-map. Not only that, but the game has multiple areas, each with its own map. That's all fine and dandy until you find out that there is no way to look at the maps of different areas if you're not in them. None. This is also something that makes the "Fast Travel" mechanic such a waste as you can't see what areas you need to go to or find out what area with an "FT" port is closest to where you need to go. The DLC makes this problem even worse as every time you exit the game, you return at the very beginning of the very first area in said DLC, requiring you to go ALL THE WAY BACK to a mission point if you didn't completely finish what you were doing before you left the game.

    Instead of a mini-map, the game gives you a compass. But that has its own problems as well. While for some games the compass works fine, like Call of Duty that don't have an expansive, open-world map, for a game like Borderlands that do have an expansive, open-world map there are so many different paths to take that unless you frequently check the maps in the options menu, you'll more than likely get lost and have to backtrack to go the correct path.

    Additionally, most of the weapons are downright useless compared to the assault rifles. The handguns and the revolvers don't cause enough consistent damage to an enemy to warrant you using it added with the fact that you're usually facing multiple enemies and focusing on one for too long will get you killed. Sniper rifles work for long ranged enemies, but not when you face at least 1 enemy or more that run towards you while you aim. Shotguns are powerful, but they're too slow to use and getting up close to a ranged enemy takes too long to do before you're killed. Rocket launchers are even slower and get you killed when reloading.

    The RPG elements aren't much to talk about either. While not as frustrating as the AI or the area traversing, they are pretty useless if playing solo. Most of the perks that are of any use in single player are only good for strictly offensive strategies, but those can only get you so far without dying constantly. When it comes to defensive perks, on the other hand, most of them can only be used when playing cooperatively making them useless to people who don't generally play cooperatively.

    All in all, I would give this game a D rating. Maybe a C- when I'm not overly frustrated by its idiotic mechanics. However, even with a generous C- rating, I can't possibly fathom how this game could be considered even as an honorable mention for Game of the Year during a year when games like Batman: Arkham Asylum, Ratchet and Clank: A Crack in Time, and Bayonetta were released.    … Expand

    Borderlands looks beautiful. With the cel-shaded graphics giving the entire world looking straight out of a comic book or cartoon.

    BUT... there are some other things to talk about.
    The entire game lacks a story. I mean your a treasure hunter going after treasure, but the game forgets this plot for large periods of time and then your "guide" all of a sudden reminds you of your original goal. The side stories that the game introduces you to aren't amazing either. It isn't until he end that the game finally decides to make any resemblance of a plot. The who back and forth between its your story to create and no wait there is a plot becomes jarring toward the end. And then the game ends. No literally this is a complaint it just ends. You fight the finally boss and turn in the quest and it is just over. No cut scene that signifies the end except a tease for DLC. The game continues through the use of expansions. All of them relate to the story of borderlands because the DLC actually has a cohesive story that can be followed and flows into the events of Borderlands 2 and Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel. If you do buy the game you should buy the game of the year edition as it contains story related features not present in the vanilla game.

    Through the in cohesive plot that the game throws at you it is still fun to play. Especially with friends, which I have none of... so I'll rate the game as a solo experience.

The first being story, or the lack thereof. I just remember that you basically did fetch quest after fetch quest until another area opened, rinse and repeat, until you got to the final area. Then, the final area was extremely long and drawn out and I just found myself hauling a$$ in the last area to get to the final boss so it could be over.

    Which leads me to the second thing that annoyed me about the game, it seemed like to me that it took forever to beat. I am pretty sure it took me well over 30 hours to beat this game. And while that is a decent sized game to play for most games, it is brutal for a FPS that does the same things over and over again with little variety.

    At the time this came out, it was a very unique FPS in a sea of pretty bland WW2 FPS games, and stood out because of that. Unfortunately, for the most part it is a long, bland shooter that is really best in small doses.    … Expand

But, the game is still a fun and enjoyable experience that is only enriched the further along you play. One of the only issues I have with this game is the lack of a concrete storyline that flows. An example of the weak storyline are the boss battles. The boss battles happen and are forgotten for the most part as you continue to make your way through the game even though they are very important milestones which should be remembered in later levels of the game. The only recurring plot point is the vault, which is brought up pretty frequently throughout the game. In conclusion, the first installment in the Borderlands franchise was a great idea that came out half baked.

    Edit: After finally getting around to playing this game for a second time, I've really come to appreciate the atmosphere, humor, and character this game presents. The music and color pallet really made you feel like you were alone in a desolate wasteland. Plus, the character and dry humor commit to the idea of a lonely planet full of maniacs even stronger. But, this game obviously still has it's flaws. The gameplay isn't all that exiting compared to Borderlands 2 & 3, and the skill trees especially suck. The story is also really dull and not interesting. Yet, because of just how good the atmosphere and feel is to Pandora I'm raising my score.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Borderlands is a remarkably ok game, especially now when we have an objectively superior sequel.

    While I can appreciate this game for what it was, going back to it nowadays is nothing short of disappointing, the overall gameplay is fine, if less interesting than with its smaller array of weapons. It's really the writing where this game falters, unlike every other game, even the Pre-Sequel, I struggle to remember a single line of dialogue from this game, it's all very unremarkable, from the story, which amounts to "go do **** to the characters, all of which are made far better in BL2 and have striking little personality here, and to the dialogue, which is pretty humourless, or maybe not, I don't think I laughed once, so either it isn't a comedy like the following games, or the writing really is just terrible.

    Something you can say about every Borderlands game is the villain is memorable, from Handsome Jack, an unforgettably charismatic villain who you simultaneously want to take down and also don't, to hell, even the Streamer Twins in BL3 with their terrible cringe personas, and Tales has some pretty memorable antagonists even outside of Jack, Vasquez is a brilliant bastard, but BL1 falls flatter than a board because the villain here... just kinda exists? The only remarkable thing about her is how unremarkable she is, she exists, then she's killed, then you fight the final boss, end of.

    Borderlands isn't a game I'd recommend you go back to for any reason really, it's not awful, the gameplay is still fun, but it pales in comparison to both BL2 and BL3, while good for its time, it's best seen as a Tekken 1 or a Resident Evil 1, good once upon a time, but perfected by its successors in every way.    … Expand

    Un buen juego pero con un problema de balanceo bastante mayor que el de sus siguientes entregas. Me he llegado a quedar atascado en partes en las que NO podía progresar de ninguna manera o bien por mi poco daño o bien por las armas que tenía. Esto te obliga a farmear armas en un juego donde apenas hay loot y/o, farmear nivel.

    Las clases también son muy simples. Tampoco es que se espere    Un buen juego pero con un problema de balanceo bastante mayor que el de sus siguientes entregas.

    Las clases también son muy simples. Tampoco es que se espere mucho de un juego de 2009, pero especialmente la habilidad de Mordekai me parece una risa de lo aburrida que es.

    En general buen juego y buen inicio de franquicia. Tiene también uno de los mejores DLC de la saga con el DLC del Dr.Zed, tremendo.    … Expand

    A great looter-shooter with a great sense of style and humor. Borderlands also serves as a great cooperative game.

    A bland first person shooter that got revitalized with a new coat of paint? Yeah, somehow Gearbox made this work.
    Borderlands 1 is filled with fun characters and locations. A sense of solitude adds to this oh-so weird planet of Pandora. The true sense of being alone in a post apocalypses is brought here and it stays. That's definitely something that can't be said for the next games.

    Call it a first-person Diablo, an evolution of Resistance 2's co-op mode, Monster Hunter for the west, or a party game for FPS gamers. Call it the best example of the transformative power of multiplayer. Whatever you designate it, Borderlands is a decent single-player FPS/RPG that simply becomes great -- when playing with others.

    It's also one of those games that's so strong in parts that its shortcomings become almost glaring by comparison. As such, the game's barebones story, lackluster AI, and insufficient player trading options are real disappointments that prevent the game from reaching its full potential. But when you're frantically trying to stay alive while getting swarmed by an angry horde of gigantic spiderants, chances are you won't care much about that other stuff.

    It's something action role-playing game fans looking for an experience more up-close and brutal than genre entries of the third-person variety should have a blast with, and one of the more memorable products of 2009.
