The bandits in bl1 were already physchopaths before they landed on pandora. The Dahl coperation were carrying prisoners to force them to mine for the vault when atlas attacked dahl abandoned everyone causing pandoras problem with the physcho.
Also, Endgame is crazy easy as Mordacai cause of his Tresspass skill. Like the Erridians gimmick is they have a lot of shield, but are very squishy. Tresspass ignores sheilds, and snipers already have high damage. AND THEY FLY TOO, it's a skeet shoot end game. Just keep a good Acid gun for the Crimson Lance running around.
I don't know man. I prefer 1 over 2 tbh. 1 is the perfect pick up and play game. It shines with its simplicity of picking up a quest, getting the gist of its context, shooting a bunch of people and getting the loot all in the span of no more than 15 minutes. It was my pandemic comfort game. Borderlands 2, however, seems to go on forever and ever with combat and dialogues constantly fighting for my attention. It feels grinding to finish all the objectives and realize it's just phase 1 while the quest giver is trying extremely hard to sell me on a joke.
In my opinion, Borderlands 1 is the most balanced, at least difficultly wise, and doesn't get enough love, also a small correction, The GOTY enhanced edition is available on Xbox One/Series consoles, PC and Playstation 4/5 (it's memory leak free on console) and the original is playable on Xbox via Xbox 360 backward compatibility. Edit: it's also on switch and playable on steam deck
It also has the best distribution of legendaries, they aren't impossibly rare like BL2 or laughably common like BL3. They're just right, though I do love the Dedicated Drops mod that give pretty much every boss a dedicated legendary, for instance 9 Toes has the Legendary Atlas pistol Troll in his drop table. BL1 has had magnificent modding boom recently. They're mods for adding fast travel to the DLC, buy all ammo from a vendor without having to even go into it, the aforementioned dedicated drops, and many others. Also, a HUGE DLC-esque mod is being worked on which I am HYPED beyond belief for and it seems to be in the final stages of development.
Memleak is still an issue, if you've gone for Underdome completion then you'll know that the remaster crashes on both PC and consoles (Xbox AND PlayStation! Don't ask how I know lol)
gearbox doesnt fix the remaster on purpose if randy and them ignoring people like K6 and joltzdude voices of the community. then its obvious their ignorance is a choice
They don't even care about their latest games working properly let alone anything almost 16yrs old. I recently bought Wonderlands to play while Destiny was in a bit of a mid-act lull, and I genuinely enjoyed the gameplay, the campaign and some of the cool weapons and abilities.....but when we got to the endgame (particularly Chaos Chambers) we had multiple crashes where we had made it through an entire Special Featured run (which they hadn't made any effort to tell us was going to last over an hour), and we were on the 3rd Major boss of the run, killed it......and both immediately got sent back to the home screen without any hope of getting any of the rewards we would have earned. Since then, we have tried multiple run to boost our chaos levels, only to both get kicked randomly at differing points of the runs, including yet again, getting kicked at the very end of the run, with one particularly frustrating one being right as I opened the final chest which would have given me enough crystals to have 2000 in total. Borderlands 3 has also had a ridiculous amount of bugs and glitches, some of which continue to this day. BTW, both were were played on the next-gen version, on Xbox Series X, but I've heard similar stories from people playing on PS5/PC
Borderlands 1 is my favorite game In the series and after almost 15 years of playing them it’s the only one I can go back and actually play. Borderlands 1 💚
I spent more than 4 months working on a Borderlands 1 OG mod. I am still working at it. I've never did anything like this in my life. Somehow, this is a pivotal moment in my life and I owe it all to the first Borderlands. Maybe not better than the second game overall, but still an amazing game. And I've honestly made it way better. Love it.
The guardians you see in BL1 arent eridians. They're robots. Baically just sentries to guard against those that would open the vaults and unleash their horrors.
The memory leak issue in Borderlands remastered has been there since release, it's never been addressed and that in a nutshell is exactly what you can expect with Gearbox when it comes to resolving any major issues, they could make Bethesda blush when it comes to bugs
Gearbox games are least stable enough to run for a day straight without a single crash. I have never played a Bethesda game that can claim that since Morrowind.
The weapon part system is so much better than any other BL game. I love how much more “open minded” the weapon logic can be as opposed to the gimmicks of the weapons holding back the parts/effects
Remasters and remakes are distinctly different. A remaster is basically a port of the original game. Some elements may be changed or fixed to allow it to run on modern hardware or fix particularly frustrating bugs if game's code allows it but broadly it's the same as the original ported or run through an emulator. The Metal Gear Master Collection is a great example of this. A remake is made with completely new assets and code using the original as a blueprint. A remake might be faithful (i.e. An exact recreation of the original, warts and all) or reinventive (takes creative liberties to add or change content to create a different or better experience). Faithful and reinventive aren't mutually exclusive, for example MGS Delta is looking to be a faithful remake but has a number of optional system changes to allow players to use more modern controls if they wish and make switching camo easier. An easy way to remember the difference is to look at The Last of Us 1. There's the PS3 original, the PS4 remaster/port and the PS5 remake in Part 2's engine.
Don't forget no motion aiming and subtitles definitely need fixing. Motion aiming just makes aiming better for those who aren't shakey The subtitles are a no brainer. There are too many words per phrase, way too small to read unless squinting, and hard to read on bright environments
Regarding the Destroyer Loot Pool: The first chest in the REMASTER will always contain one of the 6 new Gearbox legendries added with the remaster. In the original the boss dropped Jack Diddly Squat. For finding good loot, the Chest Room in Tartarus Station you get from beating Robolution is a REALLY good farming spot, due to the awesome rating of the chests you are almost guaranteed to get at least 1 base game legendary and because of the vending machines present you can sell any loot you DON'T want for cash to buy class mods, shields and even SDU's (plus due to a glitch you can refarm Knoxx's armory as long as you have one of marcus's quests active) Also the Mem Leak is Exclusive to the PC GOTY edition, if your playing on PC Play the original, but console players do not have to deal with the Mem Leak.
I played Borderlands because I was recommended Borderlands 2, so it had been years after Borderlands 2 was out and already had a bunch of its DLCs out. I’m not an FPS person, you could even say that it’s a genre I generally don’t like. But I love the aesthetics, the alien location, the color, and the dark and self aware humor. As for the weapons, the fact that the guns are interesting beyond standard realistic military whatever was already enough for me to be charitable to the game’s playstyle, but the RPG elements allowed me to keep going, especially playing as Sniper and good old Bloodwing. In fact, Playing Borderlands as Mordecai was basically a requirement for me investment and enjoyment of Borderlands 2. Because of the emotional attachment I made with Bloodwing in the first game made what happened in Borderlands 2 hurt so much more. And of course knowing all these characters beforehand makes the sequel make sense and the fact that people skip is wild to me. Maybe it’s because this was basically my first “looter shooter” but I didn’t have a concept of what the gameplay loop was. The concept for even grinding for weapons and equipment didn’t hit me until the second game and by then it didn’t matter, I was here for the story and characters and humor. I think that this game has probably earned a remake for all the reason you stated. It definitely has issues with balance and this is probably a me thing but a game that feels like it requires four people isn’t my bag.
Borderlands 2 just doesn't hit as hard without playing through the first game. Seeing right away how Jack had all the Claptraps killed off, that you worked so hard to repair. Or how they turned an odd quirk in Bloodwing's ai into a little character trait, where they wait for Mordecai to be watching before getting the kill. It goes from a funny game with heart, to a passion project from people who understood the original.
Commandant Steele’s design is so cool, it’s wild how little screen time they decided to give her. And they’ve never really revisited her either, despite doing that with many dead/“dead” characters in later games
17:18 Ive been playing borderlands literally since it came out. I believe around the time they released the handsome collection, they went back and adjusted the drop percentages for the game and it is VERY noticeable. They also did this for the other games in the handsome collection too.
the loot loop for me was "ooh, cool gun! :D" followed shortly after by "oh no it sucks D:" I ended up using the same level 12 4x shock revolver through the whole game and halfway through playthrough 2 when i dropped the game and started bl2.
Hmm. I might be the only person on this planet who prefers the legendary system of BL1. I hate that people would go "Let's go get this and that" and then be able to just farm their stuff like working through a shopping list. I agree that bosses should drop special loot, but they should be uniques instead like they actually are in 1, or only drop more legendaries when they are special bosses, maybe like Takedowns in 3. The best loot being simply rare gave me that constant excitement of "oh, maybe I'll randomly get a super good weapon while going through this normal area!", and that honestly was good for how the pacing felt. In 2 I used to farm bosses so much that I legit considered just editing my inventory, cause eventually the feeling of "just drop the dang thing already" would creep in. Especially when some of those dedicated drops come from side bosses you can just 2 shot. Then you get the item and just move on to the next, and so on. It starts to just feel like formality.
Yeah I have this feeling with bl3 now, doing bosses I can respawn with a mod 1000 times in a row to get mag size and grenade damage or whatever on my artifact isn't that thrilling, even if you get the drop you think "alright.." because the bosses aren't a challenge in itself
But Borderlands 1 is available on modern platforms? We don't need anymore remakes than what we're already getting. The game (while a little dated) still plays fine
i also end up with a crap ton of legendaries before finishing the game. that being said i DO notice that certain legendaries tended to drop WAY MORE than others, the crux being the most common legendary i kept getting to drop randomly. that being said i also found quite a bit of legendaries from the vending machines. something that they got rid of in 2, but brought back in presequel and 3. sometimes i would just quit to menu and load back in if i knew i was gonna load close to a vending machine just to farm legendaries that wasnt the ones that kept dropping
I would love a remake of the first borderlands game. I go back to it all the time and it really stands out in the series to me, it has a whole different feel and energy to it compared to the rest of the series. Some QOL changes would be amazing for new players so that they could have fun with this as well.
BL1 is one of those games that the overall experience and feeling hasn’t been replicated by other games in its franchise. HALO CE is another game like that.
I personally think Borderlands 1 is good enough but I do agree that the game deserves a remake. It's the start of the series and it will benefit the most from a remake.
The first week of 2020 lockdown, I found Borderlands 1 in my Xbox library (acquired as a freebie). That was it - three games plus the presequel carried me through that insane year. Love the lore, love revisiting the worlds... yes, 1 is janky, but I remember gaming in the 90s 😂
The truth is that a remake of Borderlands seems like a 50/50 idea to me, it's true that the game feels rustic compared to the others and that it's quite simple, but in a certain way that's what gives it the essence and what makes me like it so much and I feel that a lot of that would be lost if the game were made again with the modern elements of Borderlands, but at the same time it would be incredible to see the game more modernized with things like movement or weapons, in addition to fixing things like the final boss, the villain and putting fast travel points in the DLC, but the truth is I would like the story, dialogues, humor and to a certain extent the artistic style almost untouched.
I first played the second, and only after that, I played the first one. I learned to appreciate the rough edges of the first one and appreciated that the gameplay felt different.
You can farm the hyperion gift shop reward at the end of the claptrap revolution. The chests there have very high quality loot pools and vending machines to sell loot. The playthrough 1 gear can reach level 43. Playthrough 2, the gear will level up with you. In the vanilla game, you can farm the chests you get for defeating the destroyer. But I agree, the loot system was rough and flawed. You shouldn't have to use the DLC to work around bad game mechanics,
I had never even HEARD of Code Hunters. So I doubt they would have won a lawsuit. I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the Legendary Edition fixes a lot of these issues. Pretty sure it allows you to farm bosses over and over.
You hit the nail on the head imo. I've been a huge bl2 fan, with many runs on bl2, tps, and bl3. But only just started my first playthrough of bl1 this week
Started a new character a few days ago after playing the original back when it was new on ps3. It looks and plays amazingly. Personality, i think the borderlands series is beating any new modern looter shooter.
Even though I do enjoy Borderlands, I'm gonna disagree strongly and say it does not. It's the trend in gaming and even if I could enjoy whatever they basically dropped out of a toilet for a remake, I'd rather them do new than respin the wheel and act like "we did something" when they mostly copied their own homework. Gotta stop with the "re" trend.
I wasn't aware of the BL1 Enhanced Edition memory leak issue. I am glad that when you get it, you can still play the OG game as that's what I tackled on my Steam Deck a couple months back (and yeah I agree Knoxx DLC needs traversal fixes) I did not encounter a single issue with crashing or load times, etc. Pretty optimal technically speaking.
@@2.GendersOnlyI literally own a physical copy of BL1 for Xbox One which will work on both Series X and Xbox One. If PS5 can’t play the PS4 version of BL1 that’s sad. The series X ( and series S if you own them digitally) can play each borderlands game except pre-sequel 360 and Tales 360.
I agree there should be a remake. Besides the fact that it's nostalgic for me with bl4 coming out it would be helpful for new people wanting to get into the rest of the bl story.
Yeah but i would change some things like make it replayable as many times as you wan't, add better rewards to the Underdome and Dr. Neds zombie island, maybe add some more quests to the base game if possible, the vault should be shared for all characters, add movement to last stand and add fast travel points in the dlc's.
Went back to play it cause if this video and honestly I just like how simple it was like I'm not thinking about my builds and such like I am in the newer games or like planing things out too much I'm just playing idk it just felt like a different era in a good way
BL1 is available to modern audiences via the Switch though. Although I like your definition of and reasons for a remake. Wish companies would adopt it.
I also would like a full remake for Borderlands 1. Yeah Mods help a bit, but I would like to see Gearbox go lets make the first game but with everything we learned. I say this having started my Borderlands journey back in 09 in the original. Grade school me was absolutely blown away by this game.
its weird bc i couldnt buy bl1 by itself on ps4 but could buy it in the ledgendary collection and pandoras box which i ended up buying and loved the experience of its simplicity and seeing where the games started
its funny how you say the game isnt acessable while a remaster of it does exist and then say you have the memory leak which means you are playing the remaster, which is the version that has the leak
Sorry for the comment spam but I wanted to give a tip for playing solo as Mordecai: ignore the middle skill tree most of the skills there only buff Bloodwing and while bloodwing is useful you're going to want to go for kill skills especially one that I believe gives you chaotic health regeneration.
I'd rather have a remake of bl 1 over another wonderlands game any day! My problem with bl 1 was never the story or vault hunters, but the gun play. Seriously, for Roland being a soldier, youd think hed know how to hold a gun still but he can crouch down and aim and still wobble the gun side to side like he is spin-botting. bl 1 with bl3 or maybe even 4 (dependant on how good that ends up being) would be so cool.
The first had the best atmosphere, this dead wasteland where life was far between with bitter and hilariously obscure reminders that life is terrible here.
I just finished replaying Borderlands 1 last week with my girlfriend (on PC Remaster), and I don't know if it *needs* a remake, but it could definitely improve from having one. If the remaster was just touched up a little bit, it'd be a perfectly fine and modern way of playing the game, but the memory leak and gun accuracy issues that you mentioned were very apparent during our playthrough (I was also running Sniper Mordecai, and I gotta say having a Lilith there to keep aggro off of you while you aim for crits is extremely helpful.) If it was to be remade though, I wouldn't mind if they touched up the way the story is delivered to the player, as I found the way that it was delivered would probably not be that captivating to a modern audience. The story itself shouldn't need to undergo any major changes, but since a great deal of the story is told through text only shown in mission descriptions (which is fairly easily missed if you are not the host of a co-op session), I feel like the delivery of the story itself could benefit from being a little more streamlined. Also give Claptrap new lines of dialogue. I've heard "Come on everybody, check me out I'm dancin' I'M DANCIN'!" a few too many times.
Borderlands 1 GOTY and Enhanced are on Steam, it can run on your potato that played Portal. Should it really get a remake just over accessibility that's already a cheap bar to get?
I don't blame you for not knowing this, but should somebody tell him that corrosion does actually increase your damage? It's not just an elemental dot damage.
BL1 could really do with a complete remake due to how rushed the last minute changes left the game and how just... bad alot of the story and quest design is, not to mention the opportunity to reexplore aspects that contradict later canon or were underdeveloped the first around. For example, what was Commander Steele's Siren ability? Could most of the quests be changed to not be fetch quests? More backstory for the bosses? Loot not being trash? Overall, I'd love a remake because currently I don't play BL1 for the base game campaign, I play it to play the DLCs where the writing has found its stride and the fetch quest padding is not as egregious.
I have all the "Borderlands" game ever put out...a lot of "BLS" fans favor the second part. Honestly after "Tiny Tina Wonderlands" & "Borderland 3" I favor the more updated parts cuz with "3" the shooting mechanics & the weapon shields are excellent. Now I admit "BLS 2" had the best story. But "BL3" just a better game to me...know "BLS 4" will be more superb than "3"...... 😊🤔🙂🤔🙂🙂🤔🙂
14:45 this is literally only an issue with the remaster. I play the original game every week with some other streamer buddies and my brother on Xbox360 and ps3s, this complaint only came around after the remaster 😭
yeah because its a Harold but if its anything remotely balanced it become trash in 2 lvls because of trash expo scaling whats the poin of farming for legendary thats trash in 2 lvls with bl2 drop rates as they are. also vendors are trash.
Personally I wouldn't say that it needs a remake, but I have had enough positive experiences with quite a few remakes that I've played lately that has removed the jaded feeling I used to have about the idea of remakes
Borderlands is the only in the series i've ever really liked. I like the mad max feel and atmosphere and the cruel humor. The loot was cool but not as important to me. plus it introduced me to one of my favorite bands. I've beaten the others in the series once or twice but just never liked them as much. Getting a remake of 1 with 3's movement and shooting and update the bosses to be able to keep up would be a dream come true
Hard agree. We need a complete remake in the modern BL engine with modern graphical fidelity. The enhanced edition is a slap in the face for borderlands fans. It’s so inconsistent or outright bad with its “enhancements”. I actually think the current selection of legendary and unique gear is enough for the game. Having multiple legendaries per weapon brand/type just makes it harder for each to stand out. That is the issue enhanced edition faces with the new legendary gearbox weapons they added. Most of them are literally just better, slightly different versions of already existing legendaries. And they’re SO easy to obtain too so it’s not worth farming the OG weapons they copy. My bucket list of changes for a remake would be: Stay true to, but enhance the wasteland aesthetic Add dedicated drop sources ADD FAST TRAVEL TO DLC Fix all the weird random bugs making skills and gear not working how they say in their descriptions Buff/balance all legendary gear to be viable (even the troll) Please for the love of god actually make unique items be viable and noticeably better than their non-unique counterparts Match aim flinch to the later games and remove the dumbass random accuracy mechanic Make ALL bosses AND unique enemies respawnable Make driving less awful and jank
I remember BL1 was my entry, I managed to finish the story and *almost all of the dlc. (General Gnox kept crashing on me so never got far into it.) However I actually gave up on 2, for some reason it did not grip me enough to keep going but I also never really got to grow up playing co-op, so maybe that'd have kept me more interested in the sequel. Going back to Borderlands 1 now though, despite having a blast as a kid, I find many aspects of it very slow unfun and very restrictive. But in general I seemed to struggle replaying this series, I think it's just a case of it not being a series I'm passionate enough about to stay dedicated to along with not really caring about the multiplayer aspect. That said, in spite of all this I think if they remade borderlands 1 and changed enough about the game to really feel fresh and especially more enjoyable in solo I'd have a blast with it still even if the OG isn't as dear to me as it was in the past. (However a sentiment shared by many is that the Game Of The Year/Remasters have some very clunky problems and Gearbox should absolutely fix the issues with those versions.)
Agreed - dog shit gun accuracy and bad animations are the reasons BL1 isn't as fun to play as BL2 despite having that special "something" I can't explain. Is it nostalgia? Unlikely, as I've only played BL1 a little bit in 2009 and didn't even finish it. Perhaps it's atmosphere, just like you mentioned. If they ever remake BL1 (probably not gonna happen), using BL2/TPS systems and assets would seem fitting. Using BL3 ones would feel weird - almost "too good", if that even makes any sense
I think the first game still holds up, but I realize I am a bit biased as this was my entry into the series. An old geezer can play an NES game no problem because he grew up with it, whereas a young whippersnapper like myself will struggle (believe me, I've tried.) I can see how the first game may be off-putting to newer players. The thing is, I'm always wary of remaking PS3/360 era titles. I feel as though they're beyond the threshold. They're much more suited to a remaster. But Borderlands already got a remaster. Though remasters don't usually change the gameplay, thus not solving the aforementioned issue. I mean, I'd welcome a remake of the first game on Wonderlands' engine, but at that point, why stop there? why not put 2 and The Pre-Sequel on the new engine? Bundle 'em up as a remake collection. Depending on how 4 goes, this might be Gearbox's best move. If they can't make a good new entry to save their lives, then just re-sell us the old games with the engines swapped out.
I played the first one at a cousins place once when I was maybe 12? I got to the 3rd boss and never beat them. I enjoyed the game; but I didn't have a good enough console to play it well until highschool; when 2 came out. After playing 2, I tried to go back into 1, but it was so sluggish, the world felt pretty empty, and it kinda dragged on. Same with the pre-sequel
I had this game on ps3 and found it very hard to get into, fast forward to a month ago I booted up the remaster on ps5 and I just let it consume me so much so that I got the platinum and iv come to appreciate it more as an avid fan of the series. It has a darker tone to it, something I wish some of the later entries would try incoparate instead of the silly jokes that die out when you revisit the game a few years later "Midget lover".
Im fine with a remake as long as they keep the narrative format and weapon scaling the same. Let the story be read or skipped and let guns last for a few levels
I have a hard time deciding if I BL1 or 2 more. BL2 is far too restricive in the meta of endgame so much that I never did OP levels because it just wasn't fun for me to use the short list of viable equipment. I've certainly played BL2 more but 1 has a sort of charm that I feel like 2 lacks. The narrative tone, aesthetics, and sound design just feel so much more gritty than the rest of the series.
I've thought for a while a Borderlands 1 remake could be cool... if done right. It'd be cool to see it get all the additions of newer games, and see the skill trees get more expansion. They're REALLY underwhelming compared to the ones and newer games and you really feel it. There's also other things that'd be cool to see brought back again. I thought weapon proficiency was an interesting idea, and there's maybe more they could add to it. And for real, why haven't we seen the Eridian manufacturer as it appears in this game come back? Also with the sorry state the franchise is kind of in now, who knows, it might be good to just make it a reboot too. Go back to the drawing board and take things in a different direction, maybe a better one this time. There's a few very good reasons for this game to get a remake. I still think it's great and I'll go back and play it often-ish, but still. But I kinda doubt the dream I have with all this would even come true in the first place so oh well!
Borderlands 1 is still my favourite due to the aesthetic and feel. Borderlands 2 is a much more in depth game, but the first for me is still my number 1.
Borderlands 3 was the first game i ever had to play with all the sound off cause the characters were really annoying. I wouldn't mind going back to BL1. But they gotta add more enemy variety, redo the skill trees and update the loot system for it to be worth it, to me at least.

Aqua: Struggling with sniper build at endgame.
Me, a Brick melee/rocket launcher user: Can't miss if everything is exploding or getting punched.
Also, Endgame is crazy easy as Mordacai cause of his Tresspass skill. Like the Erridians gimmick is they have a lot of shield, but are very squishy. Tresspass ignores sheilds, and snipers already have high damage. AND THEY FLY TOO, it's a skeet shoot end game. Just keep a good Acid gun for the Crimson Lance running around.
I don't know man. I prefer 1 over 2 tbh. 1 is the perfect pick up and play game. It shines with its simplicity of picking up a quest, getting the gist of its context, shooting a bunch of people and getting the loot all in the span of no more than 15 minutes. It was my pandemic comfort game. Borderlands 2, however, seems to go on forever and ever with combat and dialogues constantly fighting for my attention. It feels grinding to finish all the objectives and realize it's just phase 1 while the quest giver is trying extremely hard to sell me on a joke.
like Lilith phase walk better in BL1 than Maya Phase lock in BL2 skillset.
In my opinion, Borderlands 1 is the most balanced, at least difficultly wise, and doesn't get enough love, also a small correction, The GOTY enhanced edition is available on Xbox One/Series consoles, PC and Playstation 4/5 (it's memory leak free on console) and the original is playable on Xbox via Xbox 360 backward compatibility.
Edit: it's also on switch and playable on steam deck
Side note: seeing someone's view on the first game who wasn't introduced to the series until the second is...fascinating.
Absolutly not
It also has the best distribution of legendaries, they aren't impossibly rare like BL2 or laughably common like BL3.
They're just right, though I do love the Dedicated Drops mod that give pretty much every boss a dedicated legendary, for instance 9 Toes has the Legendary Atlas pistol Troll in his drop table. BL1 has had magnificent modding boom recently.
They're mods for adding fast travel to the DLC, buy all ammo from a vendor without having to even go into it, the aforementioned dedicated drops, and many others. Also, a HUGE DLC-esque mod is being worked on which I am HYPED beyond belief for and it seems to be in the final stages of development.
@@XxLaingYxXabsolutely not what?
Memleak is still an issue, if you've gone for Underdome completion then you'll know that the remaster crashes on both PC and consoles (Xbox AND PlayStation! Don't ask how I know lol)
As i said before, and I'll say again, we need the remaster fixed up first. They have tons of issues on pc, and im sick of all these remakes now.
Me and a friend 100% booth and the og had better netcode then the remake.
gearbox doesnt fix the remaster on purpose if randy and them ignoring people like K6 and joltzdude voices of the community. then its obvious their ignorance is a choice
They don't even care about their latest games working properly let alone anything almost 16yrs old.
I recently bought Wonderlands to play while Destiny was in a bit of a mid-act lull, and I genuinely enjoyed the gameplay, the campaign and some of the cool weapons and abilities.....but when we got to the endgame (particularly Chaos Chambers) we had multiple crashes where we had made it through an entire Special Featured run (which they hadn't made any effort to tell us was going to last over an hour), and we were on the 3rd Major boss of the run, killed it......and both immediately got sent back to the home screen without any hope of getting any of the rewards we would have earned.
Since then, we have tried multiple run to boost our chaos levels, only to both get kicked randomly at differing points of the runs, including yet again, getting kicked at the very end of the run, with one particularly frustrating one being right as I opened the final chest which would have given me enough crystals to have 2000 in total.
Borderlands 3 has also had a ridiculous amount of bugs and glitches, some of which continue to this day.
BTW, both were were played on the next-gen version, on Xbox Series X, but I've heard similar stories from people playing on PS5/PC

The fact that there is STILL the memory leak from Launch baffles me
The best part about Bl1 is that the npcs actually be quiet instead of screaming random things at you every ten seconds, if you’re lucky
I actually do like a lot of the one liners in Borderlands 1 compared to Borderlands 2 such as "strip the flesh, salt the wound"

In the most Borderlands way possible, Aqua abruptly shows up and tells us his balls are hairy.
Borderlands 1 is my favorite game In the series and after almost 15 years of playing them it’s the only one I can go back and actually play. Borderlands 1 💚
I spent more than 4 months working on a Borderlands 1 OG mod. I am still working at it. I've never did anything like this in my life. Somehow, this is a pivotal moment in my life and I owe it all to the first Borderlands. Maybe not better than the second game overall, but still an amazing game. And I've honestly made it way better. Love it.
The guardians you see in BL1 arent eridians. They're robots. Baically just sentries to guard against those that would open the vaults and unleash their horrors.
The memory leak issue in Borderlands remastered has been there since release, it's never been addressed and that in a nutshell is exactly what you can expect with Gearbox when it comes to resolving any major issues, they could make Bethesda blush when it comes to bugs
The original game still has four bugged legendaries, that can be fixed with a single line of code.
Gearbox games are least stable enough to run for a day straight without a single crash. I have never played a Bethesda game that can claim that since Morrowind.
@stephenhouse1705 Your joking right
The weapon part system is so much better than any other BL game. I love how much more “open minded” the weapon logic can be as opposed to the gimmicks of the weapons holding back the parts/effects

You can play it on Modern Consoles. It got a remaster.
Remasters and remakes are distinctly different.
A remaster is basically a port of the original game. Some elements may be changed or fixed to allow it to run on modern hardware or fix particularly frustrating bugs if game's code allows it but broadly it's the same as the original ported or run through an emulator. The Metal Gear Master Collection is a great example of this.
A remake is made with completely new assets and code using the original as a blueprint. A remake might be faithful (i.e. An exact recreation of the original, warts and all) or reinventive (takes creative liberties to add or change content to create a different or better experience). Faithful and reinventive aren't mutually exclusive, for example MGS Delta is looking to be a faithful remake but has a number of optional system changes to allow players to use more modern controls if they wish and make switching camo easier.
An easy way to remember the difference is to look at The Last of Us 1. There's the PS3 original, the PS4 remaster/port and the PS5 remake in Part 2's engine.
@@PlebNC In the video he says that Borderlands isn't accessible on modern consoles.
Can you buy borderlands 1 on the ps5 and current Xbox (whatever it's called)?
@ayyLumao Okay he said that but it isn't true. You can play borderlands one goty edition on ps5 and series x
@HNcomics yes you can buy it on ps5, it's a ps4 version of the remaster
Borderlands 1 got the PS4 remaster. It's plenty fine, except for the matchmaking. It takes a half hour to get everyone in one game
For me I just invite them and they join
Don't forget no motion aiming and subtitles definitely need fixing.
Motion aiming just makes aiming better for those who aren't shakey
The subtitles are a no brainer. There are too many words per phrase, way too small to read unless squinting, and hard to read on bright environments
To be fair that's a playercount problem, not a game problem. Can't blame the devs if not many people are playing it.
14:26 That BadMutha Marine dodged a bullet at 1 hp, they don't do that in any other borderlands.
Regarding the Destroyer Loot Pool: The first chest in the REMASTER will always contain one of the 6 new Gearbox legendries added with the remaster. In the original the boss dropped Jack Diddly Squat. For finding good loot, the Chest Room in Tartarus Station you get from beating Robolution is a REALLY good farming spot, due to the awesome rating of the chests you are almost guaranteed to get at least 1 base game legendary and because of the vending machines present you can sell any loot you DON'T want for cash to buy class mods, shields and even SDU's (plus due to a glitch you can refarm Knoxx's armory as long as you have one of marcus's quests active)
Also the Mem Leak is Exclusive to the PC GOTY edition, if your playing on PC Play the original, but console players do not have to deal with the Mem Leak.
I played Borderlands because I was recommended Borderlands 2, so it had been years after Borderlands 2 was out and already had a bunch of its DLCs out. I’m not an FPS person, you could even say that it’s a genre I generally don’t like. But I love the aesthetics, the alien location, the color, and the dark and self aware humor. As for the weapons, the fact that the guns are interesting beyond standard realistic military whatever was already enough for me to be charitable to the game’s playstyle, but the RPG elements allowed me to keep going, especially playing as Sniper and good old Bloodwing.
In fact, Playing Borderlands as Mordecai was basically a requirement for me investment and enjoyment of Borderlands 2. Because of the emotional attachment I made with Bloodwing in the first game made what happened in Borderlands 2 hurt so much more. And of course knowing all these characters beforehand makes the sequel make sense and the fact that people skip is wild to me. Maybe it’s because this was basically my first “looter shooter” but I didn’t have a concept of what the gameplay loop was. The concept for even grinding for weapons and equipment didn’t hit me until the second game and by then it didn’t matter, I was here for the story and characters and humor.
I think that this game has probably earned a remake for all the reason you stated. It definitely has issues with balance and this is probably a me thing but a game that feels like it requires four people isn’t my bag.
Borderlands 2 just doesn't hit as hard without playing through the first game. Seeing right away how Jack had all the Claptraps killed off, that you worked so hard to repair. Or how they turned an odd quirk in Bloodwing's ai into a little character trait, where they wait for Mordecai to be watching before getting the kill. It goes from a funny game with heart, to a passion project from people who understood the original.
I want to know your thoughts on The Pre-Sequel. Part of me wants a remake of it because it deserved so much better
Same! I really enjoy the Presequel for the storytelling, specifically Jack's arc and the Claptrap DLC
Commandant Steele’s design is so cool, it’s wild how little screen time they decided to give her. And they’ve never really revisited her either, despite doing that with many dead/“dead” characters in later games
it was originally Lilith's design from before the changed the games art stye.
17:18 Ive been playing borderlands literally since it came out. I believe around the time they released the handsome collection, they went back and adjusted the drop percentages for the game and it is VERY noticeable. They also did this for the other games in the handsome collection too.
the loot loop for me was "ooh, cool gun! :D" followed shortly after by "oh no it sucks D:" I ended up using the same level 12 4x shock revolver through the whole game and halfway through playthrough 2 when i dropped the game and started bl2.
3:47 "So your gift to cougars dont look like Freddy Kreuger's."
Bruh I just started replaying BL1 because of your BL2 video, and now you hit me with this goodness? Hell yea brother
Hmm. I might be the only person on this planet who prefers the legendary system of BL1. I hate that people would go "Let's go get this and that" and then be able to just farm their stuff like working through a shopping list. I agree that bosses should drop special loot, but they should be uniques instead like they actually are in 1, or only drop more legendaries when they are special bosses, maybe like Takedowns in 3. The best loot being simply rare gave me that constant excitement of "oh, maybe I'll randomly get a super good weapon while going through this normal area!", and that honestly was good for how the pacing felt.
In 2 I used to farm bosses so much that I legit considered just editing my inventory, cause eventually the feeling of "just drop the dang thing already" would creep in. Especially when some of those dedicated drops come from side bosses you can just 2 shot. Then you get the item and just move on to the next, and so on. It starts to just feel like formality.
Yeah I have this feeling with bl3 now, doing bosses I can respawn with a mod 1000 times in a row to get mag size and grenade damage or whatever on my artifact isn't that thrilling, even if you get the drop you think "alright.." because the bosses aren't a challenge in itself
But Borderlands 1 is available on modern platforms? We don't need anymore remakes than what we're already getting. The game (while a little dated) still plays fine
i also end up with a crap ton of legendaries before finishing the game.
that being said i DO notice that certain legendaries tended to drop WAY MORE than others, the crux being the most common legendary i kept getting to drop randomly. that being said i also found quite a bit of legendaries from the vending machines. something that they got rid of in 2, but brought back in presequel and 3. sometimes i would just quit to menu and load back in if i knew i was gonna load close to a vending machine just to farm legendaries that wasnt the ones that kept dropping
I would love a remake of the first borderlands game. I go back to it all the time and it really stands out in the series to me, it has a whole different feel and energy to it compared to the rest of the series. Some QOL changes would be amazing for new players so that they could have fun with this as well.
BL1 is one of those games that the overall experience and feeling hasn’t been replicated by other games in its franchise. HALO CE is another game like that.
One thing I'd love is if we didn't have Claptrap telling us about side missions every 10 minutes.
I got a orange assault rifle when I started on my ps5 last month, in fyrestone, before nine toes.
Loot is crazy in this game
Another great video! Loving the Borderlands content
I personally think Borderlands 1 is good enough but I do agree that the game deserves a remake. It's the start of the series and it will benefit the most from a remake.
The first week of 2020 lockdown, I found Borderlands 1 in my Xbox library (acquired as a freebie). That was it - three games plus the presequel carried me through that insane year. Love the lore, love revisiting the worlds... yes, 1 is janky, but I remember gaming in the 90s 😂
The truth is that a remake of Borderlands seems like a 50/50 idea to me, it's true that the game feels rustic compared to the others and that it's quite simple, but in a certain way that's what gives it the essence and what makes me like it so much and I feel that a lot of that would be lost if the game were made again with the modern elements of Borderlands, but at the same time it would be incredible to see the game more modernized with things like movement or weapons, in addition to fixing things like the final boss, the villain and putting fast travel points in the DLC, but the truth is I would like the story, dialogues, humor and to a certain extent the artistic style almost untouched.
I would love to see Baron Flynt and Tannis's relationship as ex partners more. And Sledge deserved more screentime, not to mention Commandant Steele.
I first played the second, and only after that, I played the first one. I learned to appreciate the rough edges of the first one and appreciated that the gameplay felt different.
You can farm the hyperion gift shop reward at the end of the claptrap revolution. The chests there have very high quality loot pools and vending machines to sell loot. The playthrough 1 gear can reach level 43. Playthrough 2, the gear will level up with you. In the vanilla game, you can farm the chests you get for defeating the destroyer.
But I agree, the loot system was rough and flawed.
You shouldn't have to use the DLC to work around bad game mechanics,
I had never even HEARD of Code Hunters. So I doubt they would have won a lawsuit.
I could be wrong, but I'm pretty sure the Legendary Edition fixes a lot of these issues. Pretty sure it allows you to farm bosses over and over.
I never had the issue you did with accuracy. At least not after becoming proficient with the weapon type
You hit the nail on the head imo. I've been a huge bl2 fan, with many runs on bl2, tps, and bl3. But only just started my first playthrough of bl1 this week
The handsome jack collection is what you need
Started a new character a few days ago after playing the original back when it was new on ps3. It looks and plays amazingly. Personality, i think the borderlands series is beating any new modern looter shooter.
Even though I do enjoy Borderlands, I'm gonna disagree strongly and say it does not. It's the trend in gaming and even if I could enjoy whatever they basically dropped out of a toilet for a remake, I'd rather them do new than respin the wheel and act like "we did something" when they mostly copied their own homework. Gotta stop with the "re" trend.
I wasn't aware of the BL1 Enhanced Edition memory leak issue. I am glad that when you get it, you can still play the OG game as that's what I tackled on my Steam Deck a couple months back (and yeah I agree Knoxx DLC needs traversal fixes) I did not encounter a single issue with crashing or load times, etc.
Pretty optimal technically speaking.
Huh 2:34 it is on modern consoles lmao.
Literally my first thought
Can i buy borderlands 1 for ps5?

@@2.GendersOnlyyes lmao
I agree there should be a remake. Besides the fact that it's nostalgic for me with bl4 coming out it would be helpful for new people wanting to get into the rest of the bl story.
Gotta disagree here, I think the PS4 release holds up well still.
Yeah but i would change some things like make it replayable as many times as you wan't, add better rewards to the Underdome and Dr. Neds zombie island, maybe add some more quests to the base game if possible, the vault should be shared for all characters, add movement to last stand and add fast travel points in the dlc's.
Went back to play it cause if this video and honestly I just like how simple it was like I'm not thinking about my builds and such like I am in the newer games or like planing things out too much I'm just playing idk it just felt like a different era in a good way
Borderlands remake is most definitely gonna happen within the next year or two. It’s just a question of when rather than if.
BL1 is available to modern audiences via the Switch though. Although I like your definition of and reasons for a remake. Wish companies would adopt it.
Great video, you should review the Bioshock series next.
I also would like a full remake for Borderlands 1. Yeah Mods help a bit, but I would like to see Gearbox go lets make the first game but with everything we learned. I say this having started my Borderlands journey back in 09 in the original. Grade school me was absolutely blown away by this game.
its weird bc i couldnt buy bl1 by itself on ps4 but could buy it in the ledgendary collection and pandoras box which i ended up buying and loved the experience of its simplicity and seeing where the games started
its funny how you say the game isnt acessable while a remaster of it does exist
and then say you have the memory leak which means you are playing the remaster, which is the version that has the leak
Borderlands 1 is available on modern consoles (Xbox series X and ps5) btw
Sorry for the comment spam but I wanted to give a tip for playing solo as Mordecai:
ignore the middle skill tree most of the skills there only buff Bloodwing and while bloodwing is useful you're going to want to go for kill skills especially one that I believe gives you chaotic health regeneration.
Borderlands 1 is literally in the PlayStation store
I'd rather have a remake of bl 1 over another wonderlands game any day! My problem with bl 1 was never the story or vault hunters, but the gun play. Seriously, for Roland being a soldier, youd think hed know how to hold a gun still but he can crouch down and aim and still wobble the gun side to side like he is spin-botting. bl 1 with bl3 or maybe even 4 (dependant on how good that ends up being) would be so cool.
No. Not every game needs a Remake.
This stupid trend of remaking everything needs to stop.
Quick point on rewatch is that corrosive gives the same de buffs as slag.
it only a 20% damage buff as far as i know so not as much as slag but it still better agast armor and the dot so that probly makes up for it.
The first had the best atmosphere, this dead wasteland where life was far between with bitter and hilariously obscure reminders that life is terrible here.
I just finished replaying Borderlands 1 last week with my girlfriend (on PC Remaster), and I don't know if it *needs* a remake, but it could definitely improve from having one. If the remaster was just touched up a little bit, it'd be a perfectly fine and modern way of playing the game, but the memory leak and gun accuracy issues that you mentioned were very apparent during our playthrough (I was also running Sniper Mordecai, and I gotta say having a Lilith there to keep aggro off of you while you aim for crits is extremely helpful.)
If it was to be remade though, I wouldn't mind if they touched up the way the story is delivered to the player, as I found the way that it was delivered would probably not be that captivating to a modern audience. The story itself shouldn't need to undergo any major changes, but since a great deal of the story is told through text only shown in mission descriptions (which is fairly easily missed if you are not the host of a co-op session), I feel like the delivery of the story itself could benefit from being a little more streamlined.
Also give Claptrap new lines of dialogue. I've heard "Come on everybody, check me out I'm dancin' I'M DANCIN'!" a few too many times.
Borderlands 1 GOTY and Enhanced are on Steam, it can run on your potato that played Portal. Should it really get a remake just over accessibility that's already a cheap bar to get?
I'm gonna stop you there. Borderlands 1 needs to never be touched ever. It's perfect and needs to live the rest of our days left in its perfection.
I don't blame you for not knowing this, but should somebody tell him that corrosion does actually increase your damage? It's not just an elemental dot damage.
Just putting it out there borderlands 1 is available on current consoles
BL1 could really do with a complete remake due to how rushed the last minute changes left the game and how just... bad alot of the story and quest design is, not to mention the opportunity to reexplore aspects that contradict later canon or were underdeveloped the first around.
For example, what was Commander Steele's Siren ability? Could most of the quests be changed to not be fetch quests? More backstory for the bosses? Loot not being trash?
Overall, I'd love a remake because currently I don't play BL1 for the base game campaign, I play it to play the DLCs where the writing has found its stride and the fetch quest padding is not as egregious.
I have all the "Borderlands" game ever put out...a lot of "BLS" fans favor the second part. Honestly after "Tiny Tina Wonderlands" & "Borderland 3" I favor the more updated parts cuz with "3" the shooting mechanics & the weapon shields are excellent. Now I admit "BLS 2" had the best story. But "BL3" just a better game to me...know "BLS 4" will be more superb than "3"......
😊🤔🙂🤔🙂🙂🤔🙂
2:20 bro, what shaders are you using?, it looks so good !
14:45 this is literally only an issue with the remaster. I play the original game every week with some other streamer buddies and my brother on Xbox360 and ps3s, this complaint only came around after the remaster 😭
bl2 is also victim to the same problem with guns if u get an unkempt Harold on your first playthrough it will carry 10 plus levels
yeah because its a Harold but if its anything remotely balanced it become trash in 2 lvls because of trash expo scaling whats the poin of farming for legendary thats trash in 2 lvls with bl2 drop rates as they are. also vendors are trash.
@ there are a lot of weapons that are poorly balanced in bl2 lol
Ngl I've never once farmed in any Borders game. I just play very casually just using what i find and given from quest
I promise you, grinding for certain guns and builds is like a whole different game, and it’s so much fun
Lmao that manscape sponsor part had me crying 😂😂😂
Meh, I like remakes
Absolutely loved Silent Hill 2.
Personally I wouldn't say that it needs a remake, but I have had enough positive experiences with quite a few remakes that I've played lately that has removed the jaded feeling I used to have about the idea of remakes
Borderlands is the only in the series i've ever really liked. I like the mad max feel and atmosphere and the cruel humor. The loot was cool but not as important to me. plus it introduced me to one of my favorite bands. I've beaten the others in the series once or twice but just never liked them as much. Getting a remake of 1 with 3's movement and shooting and update the bosses to be able to keep up would be a dream come true
Hard agree. We need a complete remake in the modern BL engine with modern graphical fidelity. The enhanced edition is a slap in the face for borderlands fans. It’s so inconsistent or outright bad with its “enhancements”.
I actually think the current selection of legendary and unique gear is enough for the game. Having multiple legendaries per weapon brand/type just makes it harder for each to stand out. That is the issue enhanced edition faces with the new legendary gearbox weapons they added. Most of them are literally just better, slightly different versions of already existing legendaries. And they’re SO easy to obtain too so it’s not worth farming the OG weapons they copy.
My bucket list of changes for a remake would be:
Stay true to, but enhance the wasteland aesthetic
Add dedicated drop sources
ADD FAST TRAVEL TO DLC
Fix all the weird random bugs making skills and gear not working how they say in their descriptions
Buff/balance all legendary gear to be viable (even the troll)
Please for the love of god actually make unique items be viable and noticeably better than their non-unique counterparts
Match aim flinch to the later games and remove the dumbass random accuracy mechanic
Make ALL bosses AND unique enemies respawnable
Make driving less awful and jank
I remember BL1 was my entry, I managed to finish the story and *almost all of the dlc. (General Gnox kept crashing on me so never got far into it.)
However I actually gave up on 2, for some reason it did not grip me enough to keep going but I also never really got to grow up playing co-op, so maybe that'd have kept me more interested in the sequel.
Going back to Borderlands 1 now though, despite having a blast as a kid, I find many aspects of it very slow unfun and very restrictive. But in general I seemed to struggle replaying this series, I think it's just a case of it not being a series I'm passionate enough about to stay dedicated to along with not really caring about the multiplayer aspect.
That said, in spite of all this I think if they remade borderlands 1 and changed enough about the game to really feel fresh and especially more enjoyable in solo I'd have a blast with it still even if the OG isn't as dear to me as it was in the past. (However a sentiment shared by many is that the Game Of The Year/Remasters have some very clunky problems and Gearbox should absolutely fix the issues with those versions.)
Also sick video my bad for spam commenting I just love borderlands 1
Agreed - dog shit gun accuracy and bad animations are the reasons BL1 isn't as fun to play as BL2 despite having that special "something" I can't explain. Is it nostalgia? Unlikely, as I've only played BL1 a little bit in 2009 and didn't even finish it. Perhaps it's atmosphere, just like you mentioned.
If they ever remake BL1 (probably not gonna happen), using BL2/TPS systems and assets would seem fitting. Using BL3 ones would feel weird - almost "too good", if that even makes any sense
Even people that like BL1 don’t like Underdome. No sane person likes Underdome.
The head joke was wild 😂
The aliens in 1 aren't actually aliens they are robots called guardians
they just need to fix the memory leak for bl1
it really does need a serious remake. Even the GOTY is quite dated in comparison to BL2.
I mean if they can combined 1 and 2 in to a big remake I could see it
I think the first game still holds up, but I realize I am a bit biased as this was my entry into the series. An old geezer can play an NES game no problem because he grew up with it, whereas a young whippersnapper like myself will struggle (believe me, I've tried.) I can see how the first game may be off-putting to newer players. The thing is, I'm always wary of remaking PS3/360 era titles. I feel as though they're beyond the threshold. They're much more suited to a remaster.
But Borderlands already got a remaster. Though remasters don't usually change the gameplay, thus not solving the aforementioned issue. I mean, I'd welcome a remake of the first game on Wonderlands' engine, but at that point, why stop there? why not put 2 and The Pre-Sequel on the new engine? Bundle 'em up as a remake collection. Depending on how 4 goes, this might be Gearbox's best move. If they can't make a good new entry to save their lives, then just re-sell us the old games with the engines swapped out.
Would you do a video on Wonderlands?
They should remake it so that Lilith is now 60 years old, Roland is 5'2, Claptrap is voiced by Jack Black and Brick and Mordecai? They don't exist.
I played the first one at a cousins place once when I was maybe 12? I got to the 3rd boss and never beat them. I enjoyed the game; but I didn't have a good enough console to play it well until highschool; when 2 came out. After playing 2, I tried to go back into 1, but it was so sluggish, the world felt pretty empty, and it kinda dragged on. Same with the pre-sequel
I had this game on ps3 and found it very hard to get into, fast forward to a month ago I booted up the remaster on ps5 and I just let it consume me so much so that I got the platinum and iv come to appreciate it more as an avid fan of the series.
It has a darker tone to it, something I wish some of the later entries would try incoparate instead of the silly jokes that die out when you revisit the game a few years later "Midget lover".
Talk about it!!!!
Im fine with a remake as long as they keep the narrative format and weapon scaling the same. Let the story be read or skipped and let guns last for a few levels
I have a hard time deciding if I BL1 or 2 more. BL2 is far too restricive in the meta of endgame so much that I never did OP levels because it just wasn't fun for me to use the short list of viable equipment. I've certainly played BL2 more but 1 has a sort of charm that I feel like 2 lacks. The narrative tone, aesthetics, and sound design just feel so much more gritty than the rest of the series.
i ended up turning off aim assist because it just ruined my aim with my lovely, savory, luscious, beautiful elephant gun.
I've thought for a while a Borderlands 1 remake could be cool... if done right. It'd be cool to see it get all the additions of newer games, and see the skill trees get more expansion. They're REALLY underwhelming compared to the ones and newer games and you really feel it. There's also other things that'd be cool to see brought back again. I thought weapon proficiency was an interesting idea, and there's maybe more they could add to it. And for real, why haven't we seen the Eridian manufacturer as it appears in this game come back? Also with the sorry state the franchise is kind of in now, who knows, it might be good to just make it a reboot too. Go back to the drawing board and take things in a different direction, maybe a better one this time.
There's a few very good reasons for this game to get a remake. I still think it's great and I'll go back and play it often-ish, but still. But I kinda doubt the dream I have with all this would even come true in the first place so oh well!
Borderlands 1 is still my favourite due to the aesthetic and feel. Borderlands 2 is a much more in depth game, but the first for me is still my number 1.
Borderlands 3 was the first game i ever had to play with all the sound off cause the characters were really annoying. I wouldn't mind going back to BL1. But they gotta add more enemy variety, redo the skill trees and update the loot system for it to be worth it, to me at least.
