Its been a while since iv posted on here, i haven't had too much time to do anything relative to this blog, but making a point to continue updating it.
I bought the game of the year edition of borderlands last week and immediately after purchased saw something that sent me into a fit of rage that didn't end until the next day. The game of the year edition comes with all the DLC including the newly released clap trap revolution DLC. The thing is though the game doesn't actually come with the DLC. Instead you get a 'voucher' to download them all from the PlayStation network store. A download i might add that took me a full day and a half with my shitty Internet. This as i mentioned at least 80 times that day, is a fucking outrage. if i had wanted to download all the DLC i would have oh i dunno...just downloaded all the DLC! ya sure maybe its cheaper buying it this way but i could have saved a trip to the store and a full day of RAGE!!!! not to mention there are people out there who still don't have an Internet connection, or one that wont take them a whole week to download it all. Other than that though its an amazing game. I played it through once on the PC a year ago, for about a month straight it was close to all i did. Borderlands had completely consumed my soul in the quest for golds, and now its happened all over again. on the exception of mind numbing homework and a break for an old PS1 classic silent hill 2. a absolutely beautiful game for the time. A superb example of how a survival....SURVIVAL horror game should be. unfortunately these days most developers focus on the horror and even then its usually just gore and overplayed BOO! moments. More focus on the survival aspect gives you more of a sense of "oh shit! this shit can kill me in two hits i only have 4 bullets and one health pack and..OH GOD there are five more zombie things coming at me oh shit oh shit oh shit!!!" and not so much" "WHOAH..scary pop up monster ooOOooOO.....now lets shoot it to death with my near infinite ammo" this shitty gameplay mechanic needs to jump off a cliff and developers need to fall back on some more old school elements to refresh a stagnant horror genre. Anyways with that said and done its time to numb my brain some more then go snipe so skags!
CHEERS!
