Borderlands is fun

I dont know about you but I didnt think Id like this game when I first started considering it but after getting it on Steam it really is fun. And getting it for so cheap only makes it that much sweeter. Started out as a Hunter. I love sniping. The shotguns are pretty cool too.

How many hrs in? I thought it was fun at first also, but the lack of story or any reason really to continue made me stop playing. This may have been fun with friends, but I am a solo gamer and have to 1 man my stuff. None of my real life friends play video games. Graphics are great, gun play is also great, but not really engaging as a single player campain, just MO

give it 30 hours...it won't be fun. Not even in short spurts.

Games like those should be fun for thousands of hours, for 30 minutes or 4 hours at a time.

Borderlands just is not.

I'm on my 4th playthrough. Got a siren to 50 back when it was released, after the Steam sale a month or two ago my friend bought it and I'm leveling a Soldier now with him (he has a Hunter). Once we hit 50 we are going to run the DLC together.

Have to say I like my Siren a lot better than my Soldier, probably goign to switch back once my friend hits 50. I get knocked down a lot on my soldier and good CRs are hard to find. My Siren never gets knocked down, has crazy shield and regen, and is far more deadly.

So yeah, I like Borderlands :P Only thing I dislike is SOOOO... much crap to wade through, good upgrades are very few and far between.

did you play solo or co-op?

i logged over 1,000 hrs... evidently, i'm either easily amused (not) or a waste of life. :(

It's not fun if you're alone. There isn't much of a story to motivate. With friends, though, Borderlands is like a whole other kind of social and virtual experience.

no, all my time was spent online, though not with friends.

I got tired of it after about 5 hours.

I'm playing through it for the first time right now and loving it. Every time it starts to get slow I just go online and play through it with other people.

Gets boring fast, the challenges become rather repetitive, even when playing online with friends it becomes rather tiring.

The game is atleast twice as good in online co-op, just start from level 1 with a friend, trust me, it's worth it. You can just tell the game is designed for 2 people.robokill

I have been playing it this period.I am a 26 level hunter and l play solo.

Untill now l never thought of quiting or getting bored.

I thought it was fun for the first few hours and then ran into boredom.

I don't understand why really, I mean the game consisted of a plot of find a stash full of treasures and weapons......to get there you had to shoot things with creative guns....but to get those guns you needed to do side missions to make money....

Ok after thinking about it, the only main reason to continue to play this game was to get better and more interesting guns and to me, that should never been the main sell for a game.

With friends it's teh awesome.

Weak gameplay. Poor FoV. Bad controls/graphics. Unsatisfying completely.KHAndAnime

I thought it was amazing, even the single player.... i logged over 200 hours just in single player chest farming in New Haven and still find it fun knowing that a new dark orange legendary could be just in the next chest :o i love games with tons of phat loot

30 hours is long...for an offline game.

for a multiplayer-focused offering, I expect months of gametime, not a couple weeks.

And yea, the "hackers" kind of killed it for me. As did the atmosphere, the whole Mad Max'ish wasteland is just overused and stale.

I LOVE Borderlands. Add me (same name as Gamespot) and we'll co-op.

I didn't finish my 2nd playthrough. I got to 50 before the end and just quit.

I actually really enjoyed Borderlands for the time i was able to play but at some random point the game decided to hate me and now each time I get on I suffer from a total system crash within a couple of minutes :(

I played the single player and it was fun for first 5 hours, but then it's getting bored for me
