Borderlands

An alright game, made much better by coop. Stick around the same levels as the people your playing coop with, otherwise the boring, unimmersive numbers and stats behind the game start to show. It's fun while its a challenge to scramble to find a better gun, and the enemies are tough enough that they require teamwork to beat. Modding makes the majority of it too easy, and like going through the motions, so try not to play with the ridiculously higher leveled players with the obviously modded guns. The core game is good, but the DLCs are actually much more memorable, and better experiences. Dialogue is nice and memorable, or maybe that's just Scooter; "This is where the cars live! Get you one!"

If you like FPSs, and / or RPGs then you'll like this. I'd say leveling and the progressively better gear / artificially stronger enemies in a FPS never really feels right, but this is what it has, and while it's not great for it - it still manages to be a pretty fun experience.

TL;DR : Grindfest Numbers Game now as FPS! Fun while numbers game remains invisible.
