A Real Life ‘Borderlands’ Boss Kill
(Click to enlarge)
Despite it’s way too short run time and lies about “millions of types of guns,” Borderlands is in let’s say, my top three games of the year so far (though I haven’t picked up Assassin’s Creed 2 yet), and I’m obliged to promote it to all you who haven’t played it yet, and therefore don’t understand this joke.
It’s a homemade pile of loot, featuring cash, statues that equal cash and of course, a bunch of Nerf-looking guns, which actually resemble a lot of guns found in-game, albeit with a slightly more enthusiastic color palette. And the fact that they don’t shoot acid or lightning.
Anyway, Borderlands should probably be in stock at Blockbuster by now, seeing as everyone currenty has their eyeballs glued to Call of Duty, so I would definitely recommend checking it out for at least a playthrough.

Question: does the co-op make the gameplay THAT much better, or just slightly? Because I’m thinking about giving this a shot…
Yes, it is better, but it’s most definitely still fun going solo. But I would rent, not buy, if you can.
@Madison: It’s playable and enjoyable in single player, but the game REALLY shines in co-op. The playable character’s special moves all work really well with one another and makes everything just easier.
The only downfall to the co-op is that it requires time dedication. The game doesn’t, at least for me, play very well for short periods of time. It’s one of those games that you have to set aside a couple hours of your week to really get into, and it’s even harder to do that with a partner. Ashweee and I, however, didn’t have that issue too often.
I’t doesn’t lie about millions of guns. Random generation man. The gun can even be considered “different” with the same parts and colors as long as it has different stats.
