Updates just to piss you off
I am a huge asshole. Not being truthful to my fans (if I have any) and not even giving a shit. I went ahead and spent $100 on three new games. For anyone curious, the games are Far Cry 3, Saints Row 3, and Skyrim. I'm expecting Skyrim to be the next review since it's most likely downloaded first, but we'll see. Anyway, I'm going to start making this into a video series to get some more fans, but don't expect that soon. Short update, not incredibly important, but it's okay.

Borderlands - Is it worth it?
I know, I said I was going to do AirBuccaneers next, but I just bought Borderlands and Guns of Icarus online and they both sucked out my life, so next, I'll do a comparison of Guns of Icarus and AirBuccaneers, deal? No? There's just no pleasing you.
Gameplay
Borderlands, to be honest, looked boring when I first looked at it. The only reason I got interested in the game was Tiny Tina in the sequel. No, I don't have the sequel. Anyway, Borderlands really isn't all different compared to other shooters. Melee, shoot, and collect what they drop. The only difference in gameplay I've noticed is jumping around trying not to get hit. There is no health generation by default. That sucks because I get killed so goddamn often. I've played 7 hours of this game and it just gets boring after a while. All you do is kill things, complete quests, and find new places. However, just because it's repetitive doesn't mean it sucks. The only complaint I have about this game is the driving controls suffer from Halo syndrome, which is where your vehicle turns in the direction you face. WHY? There's no purpose. This control is okay if you have a fixed gun on the vehicle, but the mounted gun on your vehicle is controlled by your mouse if it's not mounted. What's the point if your vehicle turns in the direction you look? That's all for gameplay.
Reputation (I can only talk about the community if I've played the multiplayer, which I haven't.)
Borderlands is loved by everyone who's played it. Everyone. I still have yet to see a single person who doesn't like this game. And to be honest, they're right. I like the game to an extent, whether I've played the multiplayer or not.
Replay Value
Even after you finish the campaign, there's still side quests and oh so much to do afterwards. There's even an arena mode where you can fight against your friends. So much to do in this game.
Is it worth it?
Almost. I bought this game during a sale, so I didn't pay the full price. I haven't played the entire game yet, and I haven't tried the multiplayer, but I like it so far. It may be worth it for some people, but not all.
2/3
Thanks for reading the full review, if you have any questions, (I said questions, not requests) send me an email at lemonsanddragons@gmail.com. Like I said in the beginning, instead of reviewing AirBuccaneers, I'm going to do a comparison of AirBuccaneers and Guns of Icarus online. Hope you enjoyed!
