Borderlands is woke slop and DEI infested trash. Gearbox is now trying to shut down the steam discussion for their upcoming game, Borderlands 4. Hundreds of people posted about their dislike for what the company is doing, and were banned from posting, had their posts deleted, and generally, the company is moving forward with DEI and Woke content nobody who plays the game wants. Respect Gearbox as much as it respects you: don't buy their games.

I played this version before I realised there was an Enhanced version and had to restart through XD Not saying the game is bad bit for a game this old with the graphic resolution and specs before the upgrade playing it is full blown nostalgia but not the way you would want to with the alternative better remade one, shooting low resolution pixels surely was great back then but not so now.

got soft-locked at the general knoxx dlc and effectively wasted hours of grinding. incredibly frustrating and soured the whole experience. if you've never played borderlands before, skip to borderlands 2 and save yourself the time. this title's only worth going back to if you're absolutely desperate for more looter shooter content.

A pretty fun game to play with friends or alone. The story was pretty alright. Gameplay wise it's like any other Borderlands game with a lot of loot and cool character abilities. Though in this one weapon drops seemed garbage but that might've been just my luck. From achievement side I hope that Moxxi's head explodes in the most gruesome way. That DLC (Moxxi's Underdome) was pure garbage. It's boring, unnecessary and Moxxi's repetitive comments really don't make it any more fun. Zombie Island had an interesting story idea and a pretty map. General Knoxx one's map was horrendous with all the driving back and forth. Claptrap's Robot Revolution was the best one and sadly felt like it was the shortest one. Overall the game is less exciting than the ones after it, but still worth to play since it's an older one and the very beggining of everything. 8/10

Can not believe I 100% the game, it was tough, seeing that it's the OG Borderlands game, and the second one, is my favourite of all, I could see all the flaws that this one had, but it's not bad, it has more of the 2009 feeling, I will say it's more brown coloured, more plain and not as colourful or bright as the other games. Besides that, the gameplay is like any other Borderlands game, it's all the same and the special abilities of characters are dope af. It was a fun game to play, sadly taking quests do not initiate dialogue about said quests, so thats a bit sad, kinda forcing me to read the description of the quest. Achievement-wise it was a pain in the ass. Moxxi's Underdome can go straight to hell and below. Zombie Island of Dr. Ned - I did enjoy (Overall I like zombies) it was just annoying that you need to walk ALOT. The Secret Armory of General Knoxx - Instead of the zombie one where you need to walk alot in this one you need to drive alot, it was boring driving all acros...
