There is of course also the lack of the trademark humor from Borderlands 2, since Borderlands 1 in general had a more laid back tone to it. Compared to the sequels which had gameplay that felt much faster paced and twitchy, it definitely makes the game feel unique to play. The difficulty is generally higher which means that running and gunning is more likely to get you killed faster, even if you have a decent shield. The gameplay in general is far slower and more tactical, with more focus on shooting from cover and advantageous locations than running around blasting enemies. You can also sell all items marked as junk in any store with a single key press What Makes It Unique?ĭespite the changes that makes Borderlands 1 play more like Borderlands 2, it is still a very different game at its core. Inventory has been massively overhauled, with items now being markable as junk or locked so that you can’t accidentally lose them. BORDERLANDS GAME OF THE YEAR EDITION REMASTER UPDATEThe Game of the Year Edition of Borderlands is a far more substantial update of the core game that adds those improvements back into the first game and also updates the visuals by an incredible amount. And therefore I would argue it is the game that has benefited from a remaster the most compared to the games in the Handsome Collection which were essentially just glorified texture packs. Because while it is a great game, it still suffers from being the first in the series, with a lot of the quality-of-life improvements from Borderlands 2 having always felt absent from it. What Makes It Different?īeing the game’s 10th anniversary, it’s therefore a perfect time to release a remaster of the game. The Game of the Year Edition of Borderlands adds “heads” which are essentially just accessories to your character. This of course would be an easy task if Pandora wasn’t also an incredibly harsh environment with not only local wildlife to deal with but also humans that have either turned insane or are there to seize the Vault for themselves. As the four vault hunters, your main task in the game becomes to assist Tannis in her journey towards opening the Vault and finding out what’s on the other side. You learn that Patricia Tannis, an archeologist on a planet called Pandora is studying something called Vaults, which she isn’t entirely sure on what is but she seems to have found one on Pandora and intends to find a way to open it. The plot in Borderlands is pretty simple. The so-called “vault hunters” who each had a distinct personality and skill sets. Being a co-op shooter, it gave you four heroes to choose from. The original Borderlands was in that regard a very original shooter when it came out in 2009. When your co-op partner gets a perfect headshot on the person you’re about to attack. What we ended up with was a pretty addictive game that combined FPS combat with hack’n’slash mechanics. It’s best described as someone at Gearbox having the lovely idea of getting Diablo and Call Of Duty together in a bedroom with some sexy music and letting nature do its thing. It’s a term that gets thrown around quite a bit nowadays, but Borderlands was in many ways the first of its kind. If you’ve never heard of Borderlands, you have probably heard of the term looter shooter. And that is of course their very own IP, Borderlands. When they aren’t busy pissing off the collective Alien and Duke Nukem fandoms, there is one franchise that they seem to put more effort into. Gearbox is a developer that most gamers probably have a bit of a love/hate relationship with.
