So, Borderlands Game of The Year edition is out now, and I am really considering buying this game. I was quite interested in the game when it was released last year, but I didn't buy it, and now that this super deluxe edition is released, I am, once again, wondering if it is something for me.I played the game for a few hours right after it was released with a few friends, and thought of it as a fun experience. I looooved the way you got new stuff all the time, and I thought the music and the look of the game was quite pleasant. I also found a good deal on the thing,  getting the full game plus the 3-4 DLC for half the normal retail price. However, I have already bought/spend way to much on games this year, and I regretted a bunch of them, and I don't want to make another mistake. If I buy this game, I will primarily play through it on my own, and I'm not sure that it will hold up over 25+ hours, when it's just me playing the game. I've heard the game being described as an MMO of sorts,and I have never enjoyed playing those types of games, especially not on my own. Also, when Black Ops comes out next month, most of my gaming time, if not all will be dedicated to that game.
 
But can you rad dudes make some arguments, that will help me decide whether or not I should buy this game? As I said, I enjoyed the hour or two I played the game last year, but that was with friends, and I'm not sure the experience will be as enjoyable or long lasting on my own.

Do you find loot based RPG entertaining in single player..? think of Diablo, Torchlight, Sacred 2 or another game with lots of loot.. If the loot based gameplay interest you, thats a good start.. Now slap some funny characters, a cartoony style of graphics, good shooting mechanics and a descent story onto the thing.. That's Borderlands..  
 
I've also played the DLC's except for the new claptrap one.. Zombie Island and General Knoxx are amazing additions to the game while Moxxi's is an unlucky attempt on a coop survival kind of mode..  

Needless to say i loved the game.. completed it 2 times by myself, and 2 times with friends.. :) 
 
So i'd recommend it..  :)

buy it. 
 it's not Left 4 Dead

I just topped 100 hours and only tried multi-player once (unsuccessfully). I have 3 of the 4 DLC packs (Zombie Ned, General Knoxx, and Claptrap), and still have yet to finish the latter two. Personally, I bought the game on PC because I was told by 3 of my buddies that they would be getting it for PC. One backed out at the last minute, the second gave up trying after less than a week of trying to get the multi-player to work (the PC multi-player was a mess at launch), and the third ended up playing with a different group of people without ever telling me when. I wish I could've played some multi-player, but I don't like playing with strangers, and as you can see, playing with friends was not really an option. This is why I generally avoid multi-player focused games.
 
Even so, I still found hours and hours of enjoyment, and will continue to play this game (probably) until they release the inevitable sequel.

I won't make an argument, but I didn't mind playing alone.

I've put 20 hours into it so far, about 3 hours of that being with other people. It's fun on your own, but a whole lot better with others obviously. I've only played with strangers so far (something that hopefully will change when I find a co-op group, though I'm not overly bothered), and plan to play much more of it online now I have a pretty sweet character.
 
Don't restrict yourself to playing it by yourself, dip into the co-op occasionally. I feel the game is more about beefing out your character through levelling and looting and being proud of your dude rather than the story missions themselves, so in that respect it's comparable to an MMO, but I've never been able to enjoy one and I love Borderlands, so yeah... buy it.

Like most games, it's certainly more fun with friends. 
 
That said, it's still quite fun alone. 
 
Borderlands is on of those games where I just put my earbuds in and listen to podcasts while playing, because the dialogue in the game isn't frequent or that valuable (minus the claptrap stuff).

I've been playing it for a while now, and I'm enjoying myself immensely. Tried the multi-player once with a nice guy from the GB community, and had a good enough time that I'll definitely try that again. But even alone this game is fun!

I enjoyed the hell out of playing it alone.  So much so that I bought it again on 360 (already had it on PS3) and did it all over, and then bought the DLC.  If you're into levels and loot you'll dig it.  

Fun to play alone, more fun with friends.

I'm willing to bet most people played the majority of the game by themselves, so yeah you will.
