Forums - Gaming Discussion - Vgchartz ranking game--Borderlands!

 

All you have to do is put what score you think the game below deserves, and write a brief explanation as to why it deserves that score.

Voting is open for 3 days, after the 3 day period I will count up all the scores and get the average of the game.  I will be putting up a new thread with a new game every 3 days

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Rules

1. You had to have played at least enough of the game to form an honest opinion about it

(playing it for 5 minutes is NOT enough time, nor is watching a friend play the game)

2. Users with less than 100 posts cannot score a game unless they back up their post with very good reasons as to why they rated it so.

3. scores have to be on a 10 point scale with 7 being average, and anything longer than 2 digits (Eg: 9.75) won't be counted.

4. If you score a game under a 5 or under, you have to go into great detail as to why you gave it such a low score.

5. A game must have at least 15 people that gave it a score to be counted.

6. If you score a game more than once none of your scores will count

8.5.

Pros
-Co-op amazing
-Classes are distinct
-Class modifications are fun.

Cons
-They could of been a lot more adventurous with the weapons generation. You get a lot of variation, but each kind of gun basically always fires the same way. There is the occasionally odd gun, but those are a rarity and usually outclassed by the time you get them.

-The ending. I didn't even care about the story... but the ending just was horrible... with some weird pointless twist, that doesn't really give you any satisfaction, because although it was pretty obvious it was going to happen from a cliche point of view... nothing was ever explained what it was and what anything was.

- Enemy variation. Could of used a lot more.

- (PC only) No mod tools. What is this? The dark ages?



I will find this interesting, there are many tempting offers for this game, but I am not biting.... yet



Borderlands was never on my gaming radar, then my friend bought it one night, brought it over and 7 hours later I was shocked at how the game grabbed me, Sleep was the only thing in my way. It does have more then enough flaws though, and bugs! I played the 360 version and was screwed out of 95 acheivment points and 4 acheivments, big whoop I know but I twas pissed to say the least. A patch later came out that made me happy, but that really hurt the game in my opinion. The Story sucks! Im sorry I mean there is no story, this is a big thing for me as well, The gameplay rocked but not having a story that made sense, it was thrown in just to move the game forward, and I still dont get the whole Alien Vault crap. There was a couple of funny moments, Tannis comes to mind as she rambles about whatever. I love picking up Guns just to see if its going to be better then the one I already have. Zombie Island was a ok dlc, it did add a couple of hours to the game, in gameplay anyway. I have to say, with the next dlc not out yet, Mad Moxxi I think its called, I wish we could have waited on this. But this is still a good game, missing greatness by a inch or 2.

Very good game if you play it with your friends. Boring if you play it alone.



8.4

The good
- Extremely non-linear design
- Extremely well done co-op (local) and online elements
- Very long game with plenty of re-playability
- 4 very unique classes
- 3 talent trees per class (aka WoW)
- Each classes special are very unique and devastating
- Fantastic dialog and voice work
-No noticeable slowdowns on the PS3

The bad
- Found the single player a bit boring
- Lack of any real coherent story
- Need more enemies
- Cant remember any of the music for the life of me...so this cannot be good...can it?

Originally I would have given this game around a 6. Playing by myself I could not get into this game at all and it felt like almost a choir to play. A friend of mine convinced me to play co-op with him and now Ive done a complete 180. The game is fantastic as a multiplayer game and I hope that MANY more games in the future take the online/co-op model and use it.

Most fun Co-op game I have played in a very long time.

8.5 (X360)

 

It's good, but not great. The writing, story, and plot were a joke. Worst game ending since Half-Life 2.

It's one of those games that's more fun than it should be.



Yet, today, America's leaders are reenacting every folly that brought these great powers [Russia, Germany, and Japan] to ruin -- from arrogance and hubris, to assertions of global hegemony, to imperial overstretch, to trumpeting new 'crusades,' to handing out war guarantees to regions and countries where Americans have never fought before. We are piling up the kind of commitments that produced the greatest disasters of the twentieth century.
