    Borderlands is the best game ever made. I don't think I've ever been so satisfied with a purchase. I've definitely never wanted DLC so bad.

    @ShaolinSpade: Yup. You are totally qualified to say that. However, we'll see how you hold up against the end boss.

    Same here.  That end boss is a beast though.  The longest my Hunter has lasted against it was about 20 seconds.

    The end boss was really easy. The game is definitely fun.

    I'm curious about everyone's experience with it because the first time through it clicked and I loved it.  Then, when my friend and I decided to play it again since that's what loot games are about, I ended up hating the game and hating myself for playing it.  Seriously, I was absolutely miserable and never want to play it again because of it.  I'm not trying to troll, I've just never had such an immediately opposite reaction to a game like that.  Feelings?

    I love Borderlands, I've sunk more than 60 hours into it, bought the good DLC and started a third playthrough. Every time I played that game with someone else I HATED it. I tried with friends and the public, but it was the same terrible experience. I think that some people (like me) just don't enjoy it in a multiplayer setting.

    @avengedxsniper: While I don't hate it (nor was I the addressed party, so sorry for kinda budding in...), I think what pissed me off about the game were the first and second DLC packages.  I'm not a fan of grinding, and that's pretty much what the Brains achievements forced me to do (as brains picked up before you picked up the quest did not count), and I hear the second DLC was pretty ridiculous as well.  I think it's pretty easy to guess what people want in a DLC for a game like Borderlands: Increased level cap and more weapons and a fix to weapon stat displays.  I don't think it should have taken two mediocre packages to figure out what people really wanted.

    @cstrang: Yeah I defintely agree with you there. Not a big fan of the DLC. As for the actual game I really don't understand what could make someone hate a game after one play through. Of course this is an opinion and I'm not trying to say that everyone share my opinion on the game. I would suggest waiting for awhile then pick it back up and see if you still hate it. If you do sell it because I dont think they're going to come out with any good DLC

    i`m going back and forth with it right now. I think whats happened is that I have hit my cieling for appreciation of this game. Now it`s beginning to get old. Mabe i should have done lockdown palace as soon as offered, for the effect it had on travel....In the games defence, they made it hard, and I am almost level 56 now. 
     
    But  I`m still enjoying myself.

    @avengedxsniper: Oh, no, I loved the game for what it was before the DLC was released.  Two level 50 characters, countless hours spent on loot runs, and going online and obliterating things with friends.  As soon as I realized that I probably wasn't going to find a better combat rifle, and that the DLCs were pretty much a bust, I put it back on my shelf to sit.

    I've only found one SMG worth using, it's 
     
    184x2
    81.5 accuracy
    13.5 fire rate
    69 clip 
     
    Definition of a bullet hose. Drains ammo, but it destroys.

    It was a really good game with almost everything a gamer could want.  The only problem I have with the game is it kind of had a weak story.

    yeah i have some that are up there, but like, it's harder to find smg upgrades because none seem to drop. it's not like a competition thing either, i'm the only siren in a group of hunters and soldiers.
     
    like we killed crawmerax about 7 times yesterday, and the best i got was a shield upgrade. there were about 2-3 smgs per kill, usually blues and trash purple ones. meanwhile it takes like half an hour to pick up all the extra purple/orange combat rifles, shotguns, revolvers, and snipers.

    This game ended up boring the shit out of me.
     
    It doesnt reward you for the time you put into it. It's just one big grind with no real point to it. fun to paly with friends, but once you hit the level cap the game is over and it feels like a big waste of time. I thought grinding was something gamers had decided was bad, yet this game is nothing but grind with no reward at the end.

    True. I do wish they would have made it worth playing over again. I can see where people wouldn't really like the game.

    It's all about farming the armory.  Over, and over again.
     
    If you know how to, that is. Once I figured it out, I did it eight times in one day. It's so fucking beautiful, every time I go in there it almost makes me cry.
