So, I had been wanting to play borderlands for a while, but I just never got around to it. I picked it up about a week ago though, so I am finally seeing if it lives up to the reputation it has garnered in my knowledge circle. So far, I'm kind of undecided on it.
To be honest, I hadn't really heard anything definitively good or bad about the game. The only things I have heard about it are the usual things one hears: Its really fun, but there's this one boss...
The only thing is, "this one boss..." should have been "every 5th enemy you fight..." But whichever, a challenge in a game is a good thing every now and again. It gives me a goal to drive for. Tough, sure. Aggravating, absolutely. But possible.
I'm playing through as a soldier for no reason other than I could. Based on how the game plays, I'm guessing the only purpose for the choice was to give players a little variety with the action skills. That's cool, because chances are at some point ill be more keen to pick this game up again to play through as a hunter or something.
I like how the game has a skill-up system in place for the various weapon types, because I don't like to be locked down by a choice that I liked early on, that ends up not being too good for a specific thing later. Case in point, before I started I was leaning heavily towards the hunter because I like the idea of sniping dudes before they can see me. Heh, that would have been the COMPLETELY wrong choice for this game. I'm happy I chose the soldier and am able to build my sniping skill up as I play.
I actually really like the multiplayer in this game also. I like being able to drop in and out as I please without having to worry about screwing the other people over because I have things to do.
I'm currently really liking this game, here's hoping it stays that way.
