Borderlands has been out since October of 2009 and I finally got around to play it. Three months after a game is released for me to play is, well fast. Probably because I’m all grown up and I have a job and a household and limited funds and I still haven’t got around to playing those other three games that I bought that are still sitting on the shelf screaming ‘PLAY ME WE’RE DYING’ and I’m screaming back ‘I can’t! I have to pay the bills then vacuum the living room!’. I hate being an adult. If you can stay a kid forever, do it. DOWIT. It’s so much more fun.
Anyways, Borderlands. First off, this might be the coolest graphics I’ve ever seen. When I was a kid I LOVED comic books, and I’ll be damned if this isn’t a computer game comic book brought to life.
Secondly, the plot and people. So rough around the edges. Such low brow humor. LOVE. IT.
Thirdly, the game play. It’s an FPS (LOOOOOVE first person shooters) and an RPG rolled into one. I love collecting weapons, and upgrading skills. But it’s not a full blown RPG. You aren’t so confused by the skill tree and HUD display that you want to scoop your eyeballs out with a rusty spoon. It’s simple, effective, easy to learn and fun.
The best part? It’s got a co-op mode. Your friends can get on a lan or online, pick one of the four off the shelf characters, and have fun running around doing stuff together.
Consensus? I’m very glad I bought Borderlands. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have to go play it more. Time’s to precious to write more in this silly post.
