Action hit with stigma

As I release the game still had little interest, but now it still wanted to try, I picked up the GOTY edition with all previously released DLC.

The GOTY Edition
With a (for me) visually beautiful package than the normal Edition GOTY came to my house and was immediately unpacked times. The absence of download codes put me in the same positive mood, because I would have taken forever with my Internet connection, download the DLC. Attached is the manual, where are the complete information and an overview map on the playground Pandora, venue of the game. It is held in comic style, which she has rather little to do with overview, but it is nice to look at anyway. The game takes place but already inserted the first disillusionment. The DLCs must be all cut individually to the plate again, which would not bother me, I could not install the 80GB PS3 version and a still larger hard drive for missing. I'm sorry, but I can see that very clearly on a shortcoming. Example, there is a Red Dead Redemption GOTY edition, which already has all the patches + DLCs on the disc, thanks for Rockstar. Well, for me it was only once additional space on the disc to create order at all to install everything.

May I ask - Characters in brief overview
After a nice intro and the selection of the character you are already in the game. There are four different characters, each with different special abilities:
-For A an ex-soldier named Roland, who may establish a turret to support it.
-A Hunter or sniper who goes by the name of Mordecai. He keeps an eagle as a pet, which can support him as a ranged weapon.
Brick is in the Berserker class who likes to go into melee weapons and explosives used.
-To Finally, the Representative of the sirens Lilith with the special abilities auszufüheren a phase Walk, ie to be shortly invisible and depending on trigger a phase explosion.

Why Pandora? The story of Borderlands
Prior to selection of the characters tells a voice you what it is. You are on Pandora, because you're looking for the hidden chamber, a sagenumwogender treasure of once every 200 years from the Earth Pandora rises. Full of adventure embark the four to Pandora to try their luck. It reveals itself the guardian of the chamber of the selected character is the task of finding the key parts of the chamber and finally to open.

Short breaks on Pandora first impressions Game
Without much about the story I'm trying to tell you closer to my first game impressions. The game is a mix of RPG and first person shooters, or rather a first person shooter with RPG aspects, since their ballert in first-person view you through Pandora. The weapon handling is balanced, no special conversion to other shooters. Once you have played the intro of the game, gets her orders from people or can accept orders on the bulletin board, these are usually recover it objects to collect things or kill opponents. Sounds boring, it can be sometimes. Each mission and each slain enemy gives you XP, which can ascend to you in the level. In addition, opponents have like weapons, money and other useful things fall. By car you can quickly explore the world which is divided into several sections. To move to the next, you have you go to a transition point and teleport you there, so to speak, that is not a true open-world title. The various sections are designed relatively varied and includes recurring opponents and animals which face you in the way. Sometimes a bit of a hassle, but you will be rewarded for it yes.

There XP? The Level System
By condition of XP (Experience Points) you rises to the level. From Level 5 can enable her your special ability and any further level brings you an unlock token. This can you use to add value to normal and special abilities of the character, so that for example the phase Walk another phase explosion can be hung. Each character has different abilities. Furthermore are XP level important to carry better weapons which find their all, decrease your opponent or buy can - There bazillion of them.

Bazillion? Wow! Weapons and accessories in the game
It is true there are many weapons, but one must be said: There are several basic arms companies produce different weapon models. This weapon models may have different essays and special abilities, such as 40% more damage, less recoil or different elemental powers such as fire, shock, acid and explosion. Each small difference is counted as a separate weapon, so the variety of options which can endorse you in your expandable inventory. In addition, there are grenades and modifications for those shields to prevent damage which however damaged with each hit and then only need to be recharged and Klassenkits which can be worn only by the respective character class but.

How is it looking? The technology behind the game
The whole game is kept in cel-shaded look reminiscent of a comic style, which however can not be the game look cheap. On the contrary, it is refreshing to convince otherwise and white. I do not know how the game would have looked normal graphics, but the look I like. Occasionally there are at several explosions and a lot of details on the screen jerks which are however to get over in the face of good game. One shortcoming, however, I must mention is that determined with better programming work better performance and a little sharper textures would be possible. Sure, there are comic textures, but also they can look more beautiful. In how far the Unreal Engine 3 is to blame I do not know, but this has also been a few years under their belts. The weapon sounds were in my opinion may be a bit more versatile because they resemble each other. The sound of the game in general is but ok. If nothing is going on, it's very quiet and you can hear fighting dauernt the roar of the animals attack you, the screams of the human opponent or just Ratatata of weapons.

I and my fellow co-op part in the game
With up to three other friends can you explore Pandora and stir up trouble, but only to the universe of hosts. Say, only the story of the host is being driven, but everyone gets XP. Nice change, which I have not yet tried out many times, and therefore little can say.

And? - The Conclusion
Borderlands A nice trip in a colorful cartoon world with lots of action and force of arms. The variety is sometimes on the track, but the collecting mania breaks out in any case. Gearbox has a great game made the shooter and RPG fans should try it. So anyone who wants to make a variety of enemies in the way to solve the mystery of the Chamber, should grab just for this price for GOTY Edition, as this includes all DLCs. Have fun while playing.
