I'm playing Borderlands at the moment and I like it, but I have a few problems with it:
- Respawning enemies in the same places are annoying (like those three pointless bandits that come out every time you come out of Firestone).
- Endless amounts of skags. I hate that if you kill one skag, two more always come out and are invulnerable until they start moving, and then they keep coming. Jesus, someone had a hard on for these things. They just keep coming and it's more annoying than difficult or fun.
- The world doesn't feel alive.
Those first two problems are only minor gripes, but one thing I've noticed is that world just feels so dead. Even with the enemies and objects moving all around, the world is just so boring.
In Firestone (pop 24) you have Claptrap and Dr. Zed, then you have the blind guy outside of Firestone, and then Sledge. Even with the Bandits and skags all over the place, the world just feels so dead and not in a good way. It's a shame because the game looks brilliant but then the fact it just feels so underwhelming ruins that atmosphere. Anyone else know what I mean?
Just about everything else in the game, characters, items, PC's, animations,oozes personality and it just seems wasted on that dead world.
Don't get me wrong, I like the game (I'm especially looking forward to the DLC) and I'm going to continue to play it, I'm just wondering if you ever encounter anything else that actually gives the world life?
I have my buggy now and I'm doing Sledge's quests if that's any indication where I am. I'm also not playing co-op (because I just really don't want to) so not sure if that might have something to do with it.
