Worth grabbing on the sale?

[Ranch]

15 bucks for everything with dlc, i know theres been issues with multiplayer and endgame. Im mostly looking for a game i can sink a few dozen hours into and just enjoy the ride. Worth the price?

[(Clever Name Here)]

Very much worth it. While I regret paying full price for it, I would have happily paid $40. I don't really do the coop stuff, nor do I do the boring mirror arenas stuff. However I still put about 90+ hours or so into it. Including messing with each charterer for a bit. I would be happy with another game, if they focused more on story DLC instead.

no this game is garbage, i bought it on sale and i regret. if u want to play a borderlands game play bl2, even pre-sequel is better

Firstly I'm a Borderlands vet - I've completed 1, 2, Pre- sequel and 3 and most of the DLC for 1,2, and pre sequel (generally it was the arenas that I left unfinished).

So 25.2 hours in - and generally it's positive.

1) Check the specs. You'll need a powerful rig to run it at all and a very good one to run it anywhere near highest settings.
2) The weakest element is the meta story. There are two co-characters who don't appear on screen but provide voice overs and they're not a patch on the characters from Assault on Dragon's Keep.
3) Content is very good. So far lots of places to explore, lots of interesting things to shoot and melee, the usual huge variety of equipment, some nice special abilities. And ignoring popular wisdom to go for a magic user or necromancer I have a walking mushroom that poisons enemy. Nice. I haven't yet found a "gun" that auto fires though - you have to pump the left mouse button.
4) Levelling is good. Apart from one really tough mini boss - spoiler follows - the Banshee - I ended up with a super powerful shield that I then boosted so I've managed to avoid dying or having to fight for my life very often. Enemy aren't that aggressive and with companions you give them targets other than you. And dying is still just a small amount of lost money and a return to nearest spawn point. And humiliation obviously.

So far at sale price a solid recommendation.

S.x.

My group has the same problem. I tried to reach out to 2k support about it and even pinpointing the issue they seem to not want to report it up. I do have a workaround for you. If you setup a vpn for your friends to connect to and play on local it bypasses the shift servers which allows multiplayer to function again. It's not exactly a great solution since the game should work as advertised but it's at least something.

Not a bad game

It’s okay not a waste for the current price.

Ya noticed that in the reviews as well. Ill keep sitting on it waiting to see.

If you wanna play alone, sure. With people? Don't touch it. Coop is broken and I was thankfully able to refund it.

The core gameplay is decent, maybe even fun for the most part, but this game has a major problem. The writing. You should only buy this game if you can handle poorly written dialogue being barked at you almost constantly, dialogue that was penned by people who spent way too much time patting each other on the back for all the "clever" things they came up with.

There is also some extremely annoying, and rather bad voice acting from certain characters that you will hear from WAY too often and to top it all off you get a fairly lame, poorly written story.
