The Borderlands Franchise is now home to four main records and the same number of spinoffs. Unlike some other popular game franchises where any entry has a chance to be something popular, Borderlands Fans tend to place one record over the rest.
For many, Borderlands 2 It is the best entry into the long history of franchise Looter Shooter. Many people believe it brings one of the best villains of games, has the best safe hunters in the series and provides the best bang for your buck in the history of franchise. Although I agree with these sentiments, Borderlands 2 is not my favorite entry to the series and this preference forces me to enjoy Borderlands 4 Even more.
Why borderlands 1 is my favorite record
2009 Borderlands It wasn't just the first entry I played, it was the first looter of the shooter I had ever tried, the first game I played, where the character skills were important, and the first title where humor felt more like the main event than in the future. Obviously nostalgia plays a big role in my love for the first Borderlands. But there is more than that.
I was revised Borderlands 1 Several times several times in the last decade and a little, each game coincided with the nice key stages of my life. My first Borderlands Playthrough occurred when I was only 11 years old, which of course was too young to play the game of their ILK. My first playback Borderlands 1 It happened when I was about 16 years old, where I remember to finally understand a lot of game jokes.
I was 21 and at the university for my third Borderlands Playthrough, and I remember how I found the newly found recognition for the mechanics of the looter shooter as a result Destiny 2Starting about a year before a year. And the last time I touched the first Borderlands A few months ago just to remind myself how far the series came.
Every time I re -evaluated BorderlandsMy love for the first entry only grows. There is inherent simplicity and magic to the great franchise debut that I admire so much, which is one of the many reasons why New hope is my favorite Star Wars, Batman begins is my favorite from Nolana Dark Knight trilogy and Community is my favorite Lord of the Rings input.
2009 Borderlands It is who started it all and in my opinion it is still the perfect distillation of the franchise identity. While Borderlands He still has a fair share in bizarre moments and characters over-the-top and juxtapos are those with grounded bets and “straight men” that are commonly used to emphasize the absurdity of the situation.
Sure, Borderlands“The environment may look a little boring and its skills trees are very limited compared to modern shooters for looter. But I think tone Borderlands 1 He still feels perfect.
Borderlands 4 gives me great vibration bl1 and i love it
Like many fans with whom I don't like Borderlands 3tone. Gearbox developer has increased the most suitable features of the series and the final product felt too immense for my taste. Borderlands 4From the beginning, however, he feels like returning to form.
Borderlands 4 It starts by taking the vault hunter into a new, evil corporation order. Players break out almost immediately, but the bets are effectively set up from the beginning and for a more grounded and mature tone Borderlands 4“The developers talked so much about the fact that it immediately consolidated before the start.
I'm about 15 hours to Borderlands 4 At the time of writing and this grounded tone was repeatedly reinforced at every step, while the game continues to insert a lot of trademark Borderlands humor all the time. For the first time in a long time, Borderlands“The characters will affect a good balance between a feeling like top cartoons and actually has depth and clear motivation.
All Borderlands 4Efforts to make the game feel more grounded while still retaining the basic features of the series Borderlands 1 than Borderlands 2And I personally love the tonal shift.
