What got you into Borderlands?

I just pick it up out of pure interest and just got into it. I heard about Borderlands on the internet and I decided to play it out of curiousity and I loved the game.

 

I was watching a walkthrough of Borderlands 2 by one of my favorite Youtubers, and thought to myself " hey, I could actually play this " and so I did.

 

I am certain that Youtube played a role in my coming around but I am not sure how much exactly. I know my good friend go me hooked but I cannot remember how much was Youtube driven versus just seeing it played.

 

I think both the story line and the characters are what have drawn more people into playing it. They are okay.

 

I was already playing other games so I was just looking for another game that I haven't played before and that's when I came across borderlands.

 

A friend of mine recommended it once and I later decided to get it and the rest is as the say, history.

 

To be honest, I cannot exactly highlight what originally got me into Borderlands. I was at a friend’s house and he was playing the original Borderlands. I was bored and he made me play Borderlands and the rest was history. Roland was my favorite in the original game and he was a pretty hilarious character saying things like “Awww! You know that hurt” whenever I got a critical hit in-game.

 

Yes same, that applies to almost any entertainment platform.

 

A very good point there. Somebody should research the correlation between games recommended by friends or family and games currently played and see how much it impacts a gamer's preference. On a more serious note, I probably would have found Borderlands at some point because I remembered a few years ago, Steam had a Borderlands promotion running for almost 4 months straight. I mean everything you clicked on in Steam, the Borderlands deal would pop up(mind you - this was the most annoyiing pop-up ever).

 

That would be interesting to look at @killamch89 but at the same time pretty tough to measure I suppose. I bet there are some clever ways but then you wonder who would pay for it to be done. Either way, maybe someday.

 

I see.

 

Definitely.

 

I guess it was not as annoying now as it was

 

This Borderlands 2 game is very entertaining and has some very in-depth characters like Tiny Tina and Handsome Jack, also this game has a way of being humorous as well - and loads of weapons.

 

And also to break the boredom. You can't survive working 24/7 without playing even a single game.

 

That my motto you always need to take time off even for a bit

 

I got to know the game via word of mouth, so I tried it out.

 

True sentiments.
