Love this game so much. Just hopped back in for a Siren playthrough. Last character was Sniper-only, so I missed out on the glory of SMGs (til now!)

Was bored, so decided to take BL for a spin for the first time in a while. Had some fun, sniped a bunch of dudes and Brutes, killed Krom by blowing up his turret from afar, then snagged a higher-level version of his gun.

Was bored, so decided to take BL for a spin for the first time in a while. Had some fun, sniped a bunch of dudes and Brutes, killed Krom by blowing up his turret from afar, then snagged a higher-level version of his gun.

Then, as I ran, accidentally hit the wrong button and dropped my legendary, 4x fire damage, master class sniper. In my panic I then proceeded to save the game. Hooray for me.

I still want to get to playing the DLC, though. They say it's where the series starts picking up.

Finished it, took me less than my first try but obviously everything got a bit more challenging due to the 3-man squad. Really nice game. Looking forward into Borderlands 2 with squad.

Started replaying it with 2 of my friends. I first completed it solo around 2014 if I'm not mistaken with a total of 25 hours.

One of the best Shooter games with implemented looting system ever made in my opinion. And it is much more fun if you try it with other people.

The sound effects of this game were awesome. The characters are crazy and memorable. One of the major downfalls was the field of view as it feels very zoomed in.
