Is Borderlands worth it solo?

I want to get Borderlands GOTY but I don't have xbox live. Do I have to play it online with others to fully enjoy it? What changes does online co-op add to the game. If you are playing solo, do the characters classes that you choose from become AI and can go on squad missions with them still? I can play split-screen with family but I don't know if they are available anytime.

Thanks

yes it really is worth it! such an awesome game... Dont worry about not being ble to play online because of the split screen. If your family/friends are not available it doesnt matter as they can hop in and out of your game.

When playing solo it's just that, solo. No AI, squad missions etc. Just you. I've played it through twice now solo and I had a lot of fun, so I'd say it's worth it.

It's worth noting that you can play splitscreen co-op offline, so you aren't totally without options.

Edit: And I just noticed someone else already noted it. I guess I should read the whole thread before I reply, especially when it's only 3 posts long :P

I was wondering this myself.

Would anyone recommend playing it totally solo? I have no interest in playing with randoms and I doubt any of my RL friends would buy it...

So, it'd just be me playing. Would it basically be the same game, except for the fact yopu don'y have any teammates or people to talk to in-game?

Yea it is still worth it, not as much fun solo tho

I personally found Borderlands to be a completely miserable game to play through alone. I only boot it up if someone is willing to play along.

I had a blast playing the game by my self.

So yeah I would say it's worth it.

Almost all of my playtime on Borderlands has been solo. For the co-op achievements, I just plugged in a second controller and got them while playing solo. The only time I played with people was when killing the major boss at the end of the Secret Armory. I definitely recommend playing Borderlands, even if it is solo. I had a blast. The story is good enough and funny enough to make you want to keep playing through all of it.

Personally - I tried plying it solo but just found that I didn't enjoy it - too many parts where i didn't have enough fire power to complete sections.......the looting and leveling up etc is fun and the look and atmosphere of the game is great - but I didn't end up finishing it as I just go so frusrtated with parts of it......just my opinion :)

Simply put, no.

Game is awesome in single player mode. In fact, I liked it more solo than with co op. But really it just depends on circumstances. I was continuously being paired up with individuals with bottom of the barrel IQs so I suspect co op would be better with the right people. None the less the game is quite enjoyable even while playing by yourself plus no fighting over loot.

I had most fun playing it offline with a split screen coop....

It's better online but I had a blast offline too.

I thought Mordekai was pretty easy playing alone. Especially if you go with a gunslinger build. My most powerful weapons were always revolvers for some reason.

YES!! I played it solo and had a blast!

i put 40 hours into the goty edition SOLO. its the best game ive played on the 360 and so worth it!
