    -Game Description
    Borderlands is a 2009 action role-playing first-person shooter video game developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K. The game's story focuses on a group of four "Vault Hunters", who travel to the distant planet of Pandora to search for the "Vault", which is rumored to contain advanced alien technology and other priceless riches. The hunters piece together clues to find the Vault while battling the savage wildlife of Pandora and the bandits and outlaws that populate the planet, ultimately banding together to prevent the Atlas Corporation and its privately funded paramilitary forces from reaching the Vault first.
    This is the part of the description where I put a bunch of keywords to get recommended to more people.

    I love the concept and design of the psycho. A convicted prisoner who may have been an ordinary man once, worked to the bone doing back breaking labor on a faraway hostile planet for a mega corporation that abandoned them and left him to die and instead, he just gives into his insanity and enjoys the chaos in the hell his life became.

      They created a simple cel shading filter that layered over the top of the graphics. Considering how bland the original's graphics looked, this absolutely saved the game from being forgotten about forever.

    Honestly Claptrap isn't that annoying on his own, it's the fact that he constantly hounds you with messages saying that various places have new missions available, which is something he doesn't even do in the later games.

    It's impressive what Borderlands 1 got right so early on, but also shocking how much it got wrong, most of it's problems were fixed in the sequels. Fun gunplay, addictive loot chasing, character builds, co op teamwork, irreverent humour in a pre-Marvel era that played off internet culture (this was the first time in a AAA game), unique art style that stood out, popular on console and PC alike. Terrible netcode making multiplayer laggy, console focused UI, guns under 90 accuracy missing where you aimed them especially snipers, weak character skills, lack of good drops until late game, sharing loot drops between players, dodgy driving physics.

    They should do a non-cannon remake of 1 that has the old 'Realistic' design from pre-release, with the old Rage like graphics, futuristic guns, bandit outfits (Some of the old stuff from the bandits appears in game) and environments

    Borderlands 1 just scratches a weird, unexplainable itch. I don’t know exactly what it is, but Halo CE also gives me the same feeling. It’s just something about the gameplay experience that other games in the franchise haven’t replicated.
    Pisses me off how sorry of an excuse of a remaster the enhanced edition is too. If we got an actual proper remake in the bl3 engine with updated mechanics and some nice modernizations, it probably would’ve been my favorite borderlands title.

    • @Zanyverse
