Great game, if you love borderlands games you will probably like it, but it is held back by a few flaws: side missions feel forced instead of optional, the car combat sucks and the main story is boring. This is also probably the best way to experience borderlands 1 and is far better than the enhanced edition due to the drop rates not being over the roof, making the loot grind harder and the memory leak glitch is non existent. You can also add most of the features from enhanced using mods or configuring the .ini files.

Now that it has been more properly explained, no, there is no spyware in borderlands. Take Two still shouldn't have changed their EULA without telling gamers, and it shouldn't have taken them months to respond to say "no we aren't spying on you". Company is still shit, but at least the games aren't spying on you, these ones at least.

This version is better than enhanced. Less bugs, smoother frame pacing with less traversal stutter, and less general hitching. No overpowered gearbox weapons, etc etc. Apparently a memory leak is present in the original version as well as the enhanced version. But due to the lower RAM requirement of the original version, it will take almost 10x as long to even notice your frame rate being affected by this to the point it basically is negligible especially if you have newer system specs. https://www.pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Borderlands This link will provide you access to some things to improve the experience, such as FOV fixes, extra settings (V-Sync, and various other settings). Sadly this version was unlisted, and as such probably can't be purchased anymore... Personally I dislike the enhanced version, mainly due to some texture differences, color palette changes, some weapon textures being bugged or not displaying properly. Some weapons in the original version may have a semi-gloss finish, while in remaster they are a solid matte color. The biggest complaint about the Enhanced version is the amount of bugs, one of the most common I've seen is when you get in Fight for your Life, and your camera begins to erratically spin, guaranteeing player death. I've never observed this in the original version on PC, or the Xbox 360 version.

This game is too old, thats what i thought at least. I genuinely did not even know that Original Borderlands existed on steam. After giving Borderlands 2 at least 4th try and finally enjoying it, i decided to completely go through all the series that borderlands has to offer. The game is extremely simple, there is also hardly any story. The entire game, you are looking for the vault keys, you collect them and then it opens. That is pretty much the whole thing. Now, obviously, there are some parts, where some characters interfere and some that suggest to aid you in the journey. Missions are as simple, you have to go to a certain place, kill something, turn it in, get EXP, repeat. It was rather difficult for me to distinguish main missions from side missions, because there are no specific marks, which notify you of the fact that you are currently on the path of the main quest, so... i got up and did all the missions. Turns out, i had to do them anyway, otherwise the final boss would have been impossible to defeat (Final boss was a bit boring). Gunplay is great, there are variety of weapons at your disposal along with their different types of elements. They sound great, feel great, look good and all that. Few issues i had, accuracy is horrible. Even if my crosshair is at the enemy's head, it still misses. During my last mission, i obtained an yellow sniper riffle, which dealt a lot of damage, but the accuracy was so bad that i was missing 8 shots out of 10 despite having an enemy in my sight. Another thing, Rocket launchers are absolutely horrible. Sure, if they have elemental damage such as fire and you hit it to someone, the fire keeps on deteriorating the HP of the hit enemy. However, i am too used to RPG dealing a lot of damage on impact rather than gradually lowering the health. Imagine, you shoot an RPG and it deals 20 damage, but inflicts fire and the health gradually deteriorates. it might take up to a minute to kill an enemy like that. Dialogues are hardly ever used, actually. I was hoping to hear a lot, but most of the time, you have to read the missions, which was not a problem necessarily. Although voices were really well done. Despite the game being almost 17 years old, it still holds up really well. I personally did not have any issues with it or the gameplay. Some minor inconvenience was my fps being locked at 60 and i could not do anything about it. However, there are a lot of issues with the Enhanced Edition. Framerate is low, it often lags, crashes, settings and graphics are pretty much the same. It comes with a lot of issues and is simply not worth it. two positives, which i have seen in the Enhanced version, were the map and auto-pickup. I still have not played any DLCs just yet, but have started with claptrap. I heard a lot of good things about it and im sure it will not disappoint. The main game was not boring for me either. I enjoyed the RPG elements of it. It was repetitive indeed, but in a good way. I believe, it costs 2$s on a sale and comes with EVERYTHING. Even without a sale, it is worth it. With all the DLCs in mind, you get around 40 to 50 hours of gameplay. I highly recommend it, since it deploys the fundamental idea of what borderland is all about.

It's a game where you hunt for treasure, but mostly find bandits and guns that shoot everything but bullets. The graphics are like wallpaper, but you're too busy to pay attention - everything explodes, and that's enough!
