What if the game was called "Sexlands" and we could have sex with the monsters and bandits

This game has become my favorite game to play lately! It is time to give a comprehensive review Borderlands Game of the Year Enhanced is a fantastic reminder of why this series became a cornerstone of the looter-shooter genre. While I wasn't there to play the original when it first came out, I have heard from others that the remastered visuals and improved performance of this version give it a fresh coat of paint without compromising the charm and grit that defined the original. I played from start to finish, and it’s impressive how well its core loop—shoot, loot, and repeat—still hooks you in. What stands out most is how satisfying the gun play remains. Every weapon feels distinct, from explosive shotguns to electric sniper rifles, and the sheer variety of loot keeps experimentation fun. But my go to weapon has always been the revolver weapons. My Lv19 Masher has legit carried me the moment I got it up to Lv44. The RPG-style leveling and skill trees add meaningful depth to each character, encouraging different builds and playstyles. My first run was with the soldier but I ended up getting stuck on a level and made a new save with Siren and it was so much better playing as her. Maybe a bit too good. Having an on demand ability that gives you a moment of invisibility and invulnerability while also regenerating your hp? Yeah perfectly balanced. In addtion, I wasn't able to play the co-op because I prefer playing the game solo. That said, some aspects definitely show their age. Mission design can be repetitive, and the story, while serviceable, lacks the polish and pacing improvements found in later entries as I heard from other reviewers. But the world of Pandora still oozes personality, from its wild bandits to its grimy humor and eccentric NPCs. I am looking forward to playing the other games and learning more about the story. In the end, Borderlands GOTY Enhanced is a great way to experience where it all began. It’s not perfect, but it’s still a blast to play—especially if you enjoy that addictive mix of action, loot, and irreverent charm. Whether you’re a returning fan or a newcomer curious about the series’ roots, this version is absolutely worth picking up.

I enjoyed playing through this game again. The entire story and all four of the DLCs. I didn't pay attention to the plot. I spent most of my time running around looting. Getting all of the achievements was really enjoyable until the Underdome DLC.

The Review: Borderlands is a good game. You should at least try it. Now, the main reason I am writing this. No, the game is not spyware. It’s a misunderstanding based on updates to the terms of service. What happened was the games publisher, Take Two Interactive, updated the terms of their end user license recently. Several actors in the Borderlands community misread these changes as them turning the currently released games in the franchise into literal spyware. This is not true. The games are perfectly safe to run and your data will not be stolen. The codebase for the games is unchanged, all the update did is add an advertisement for the upcoming fourth game and you have to agree to the new EUL before you can play online. That said if you feel uncomfortable playing due to this controversy, I understand. I post this only to clarify the situation and will update as needed. QnA: Will the game spy on me? – NO. The codebase is unchanged from before the update. The game itself will not collect any information. Will I need a Kernal Level Anti-Cheat which will spy on me? - NO. You will not need to install any anti-cheat to play Borderlands. The update did not change this. Will I be banned from multiplayer or sued by Take Two for using mods? - NO. The game is a 10+ year old co-op shooter. Take Two does not care if you mod it. This part of the EUL is relevant for modern releases and in active development projects such as Grand Theft Auto Online where cheating via mods is a very real problem. Besides, this part of the EUL is targeted at cheat creators, not individual users who use mods. Will I be banned from multiplayer for using foul language? - NO. Again, this is a 10+ year old game. Take Two does not care if you trash talk your teammates. Again, this part of the EUL is relevant to more modern projects. Still, please respect your teammates. What data does the new EUL cover? - Emails, phone numbers, username, name, IP address, and passwords if relevant. If this sounds concerning, know that this is standard for many EULs where you need to create an account. You provided all this information except the latter to Steam when you created your account, Take Two just asks Steam to look at this information. The password clause is only for your Gearbox Shift account, it will not steal banking passwords or your Steam password.

Yes, it's raw, it's unbalanced, it's light on story, and it's excessively brown, but it's got personality and an incredible gameplay loop. I love it and I keep coming back to it.
