  • it might have been boring for phil but for me the game is really fun sure repetitive and grinding but fun actually my friend let me borrow the game

  • @dspgaming you know that this game had dlc right

  • @mastergamer98007 you do know he did this before any dlc was released right and it has been about 2 years since this video came out right?

  • What fucking games do your friends buy, every game you have your friends don't buy they don't buy this or Fable 3 or any other fucking game you have mentioned. I just lost almost all respect for you after watching this. Borderlands is one of the best games ever made, and you have to play it multiplayer, it isn't that damn hard to find some one with this game, shit me and 5 of my friends bought this game release day, so ya, you have no idea what you are talking about.

  • @blainecol you do know this is his old channel right?

  • Oooh so the reason i don't like to play wow is because i hate grinding no matter if its throught quests or just killing random monsters ...

  • If u are playing with some friends this game is freaking AWESOME.

  • @MrMinecraftiano Hell yes.

  • Wait, isnt world of warcraft just like it though...

  • BORDERLAND IS AMAZINGGGG

  • i only grinded from lvl8 to 10

  • This game would have been much better if he played with John Rambo

  • cant wait for him to do borderlands 2

  • Grinding a.k.a doing the quests your supposed to do!

  • the last boss reminds me more of the last boss in half life opposing force. The final boss in opposing force was a large monster half way inside a portal with tentacles. to kill it you had to shoot weak points on its sides, and then a weak point in the center of it, then repeat. sound familiar?

  • @CaliforniaCODBoy THAT'S EXACTLY WHAT I SAID! cept I was playing with kids who never even knew that Opposing force existed. Shame really. But I agree with you. It was some nice nostalgia.

  • @CaliforniaCODBoy That's what I was thinking XD

  • i never had to grind once with this game, i did the quests like you're supposed to.

  • whats the music at :46 ??

  • Borderlands is the only game where grinding is fun. Theres so many guns you can never get bored.

  • i love borderlands because of the grinding.... ik stupid right?

  • hmm I had a different idea of what grinding was...

  • @ckmojoblow lol

  • I never grinded in this game. Just do all the side missions and you can easily be a decent level.

  • Borderlands is the greatest game of this generation.

  • for the final boss, i think it should have ben invoulnerable, everywhere but like 5 spots, so you shoot the 4 spots whitch do not do ny damage, but you will reveal the one spot where you can do some damage, like a metroid prime boss or something...

  • The giant squid has historically been apart of our legends, folk tales & now in our video games. You could also say that a take on this boss was also in God of War 2, Metroid, Jaws Unleashed, Kirby's Dream Land, Conan, Star Wars The Force Unleashed, Command & Conquer: Red Alert 2, Skies of Arcadia, Soulcalibur III, Sly 3: Honor Among Thieves, BioShock, Endless Ocean, Super Mario RPG Legend of 7Stars, Dragon Quest VIII, & Tomb Raider Underworld. The Destroyer was more like a giant alien squid.

  • He is correct about the grinding in this game, but the gameplay is fun. The player is in constant pursuit for the perfect gun & the perfect character build. This is basically like dangling a carrot in front of a horse. Games like this take 100s of hours to enjoy and critics have deadlines. I'm sure that he skipped the side missions, which would leave the game flat. Borderlands has the cell shaded visuals, but the concept art is what is so imaginative & unique.

  • ya.......i never had to grind i just did a shitton of side quests

  • ummmm you get fast travel at leave 10 like wtf

  • Nerdrage Nerdrage Nerdrage bla bla bla Nerdrage Nerdrage Nerdrage... However!

    Lol

  • you get fast travel at like level 12 , you bitch way to much

  • I loved this ever since mission 1 and the co op is amazing but then agaid I do love rpgs

  • Sledge is easy if you are a berserker and if you have endless rage and the shock artifact you can punch him out without having to fire a bullet trust me i did it my first time trying

  • Pause at 0:07 LOL

  • in this game i love it but hate when each time appears a glitch

  • "BLOW YOUR FUCKING BRAINS OUT BECAUSE ITS SO BORING....however..." lmao i thought that was funny

  • lol the turrent battle kinda reminds me of the sniper boss battle in mgs3

  • where is skagzilla he was a badass boss

    i think you would have liked this more if you played co op

  • @imbocca Yes, but in those games you're not playing the optional missions and objectives to get experience or level up, you're doing it because it adds to the story. In Borderlands the side missions are there just to get in some more game time and to earn experience and prepare for the next main mission.

  • @imbocca Doing anything optional in order to get experience is grinding.

  • grind my ass, i didn't even grind a single bit in borderlands... and going around killing stuff is part of QUESTS, not grinding, get your facts straight.

  • @imbocca That's grinding.

  • I have never had to grind on Borderlands. Honestly you do the stuff for completion and with other people it's actually not boring and Borderlands was always meant for co-op to begin with

  • Have to play coop, or dont play it

  • WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE FUCKING SONG?!

  • i never felt I had to grind, maybe i was blinded by how much fun I had playing it with my buddies!

  • You dont have to grind if you dont suck+ i play with friends all the time on it, maybe u should get some friends

  • omg, borderlands grinding is SOO much more innovative and interestins than WoWs

  • @strandennn u cant beat wow grinding with friends its so fun but addictive like DSP said

  • r u wereing randy orton legend killer shirt

  • borderlands was made so that there IS no grinding if you play it correctly. had he done side missions (which are very fun) he woulve been the correct level for each mission -.-

    he doesn't know how to run when he goes back to an area that's 2 or 3 levels under him either so he feels like it's repetitive...wow.

    7:44. the way to beat a boss is to find an exploit! rofl.

    has he stated a reasonable "con" to the game yet?

  • it wasnt that boring..god calm down >.>

  • ...can i have ur copy of borderlands?

  • @acidsyringe69 he traded it in a long time ago

  • @acidsyringe69 He actually thought you were serious, LOL.

  • @Ammaculate44 lol

  • yeah, so unique blending fps and rpg, not like thats been done before -_-

  • Grind with your friends lol.

  • The rifle you pulled up in 1:53 is similar to my rifle that i found in New Heaven. :P Your is better though, mine is about 530 or so in damage, yours is 886.. :D Its awsome!

  • Boom stick = more than groovy :/

  • world of warcraft is amazing the griding is fun when u have a mate to play with but when u no mates online and no one is doing eney dungeons or battlegrounds than the game is crap so but u shold try it out its amazing trust

  • randy orton shirt????

  • I personally loved the fact that you have to be a level 20 to fast travel, it has a brilliant learning curve. Great video Phil, you put a lot of effort in to explaining your reasons why you liked/disliked the game.

  • are the fable games major grinding gameplay?

  • I disagree with this review completely.

  • its funny he talks about "grinding" but it is known only as "farming"

  • @TheLilwaffles

    fail, the term is weapon farming. i.e going to certain areas to achieve good weapons over and over

  • hes right u know borderland is fucking boring after days u know i still have it and i play 4 maybe just an hour after 2 or maybe 3 months because i get so fucking bored

  • borderlands AND world of warcraft is a great game i am lvl 50 on Borderlands and 55 on World Of Warcraft Left 4 Dead is also a great game look me up on xbox live "DeathJay1" look atmy achivements Borderlands and Left 4 Dead

  • Great intro!

  • funnesy game ever begining to end

  • You should've done a Hateful Truth for Brutal Legend, DSP.

  • im a 50, i played with high level friends on high level areas, so thats how im a 50, but this is the most boring game ive ever played, i even bought the DLC's are bad (i got 2) i love rpg/open world games (Fallout 3/GTA series) but i cant bring myself to play this game, its almost as boring as left 4 Dead.

    dont troll me, this is my opinion...

  • Love how he makes this kinda boring game funny as hell :D

  • in my opinion its almost like a raw weird version of grand theft auto.  you walk around blasting shit

  • Nice Randy orton shirt DSP!

  • i like the last level in lost planet2

  • Love that song at the beginning I forgot the title

  • with krom just sit back and shoot a rocket launcher, it didn't seem like u thought shit over very well

  • @beckmann100 yeah but if you dont have one or you are the scout or you didnt watch this before you played it you have no idea what will happen ...... that happened to me

  • the playthrough would have been twice as good with john playing to. =]

  • @jcinq01 he should be in all his multiplayer or playthroughs.

  • I grind with women

  • @jjandcam hahaha!

  • One of the reasons DSP had a hard time and grinding was involved, is because he skipped 60% of the quests. The quests are what make the game fun, and doing them all keeps you at the proper level to advance the story. If he had done them in order and not rushed through, the playthrough would've been MUCH better. There were some story elements he skipped over, like the first alien encounter.

  • @KGhaleon and the death of tk baha :\

  • @KGhaleon well brutal legend was coming so i guess he thought that he wanted to make sure he played it

  • @KGhaleon it was mostly grinding tbh and i did a LOT of the side quests and it was still good BUT way too much boring grinding.

  • what is the name of the song??? please someone respond T.T i have been looking for it...

    and i finished the game and i am in the second playthrough... great game :D i never grinded just killed who gets infront of me... i do missions alot faster and funner

  • all i can say is that this game looks a bit like Fallout 3

  • I sold sledge's shotgun. It's too ineffective from a distance with a 0% accuracy ratting. With the Solder class you wanna primarily use combat rifles (Assault Rifles and Machine Guns) to deal out heavy damage from any range, especially long. Shot Guns are more of a secondary class, pick and use shot guns with elemental attributes because that's something you wont get with rifles. I range with a 3 round burst rifle and use shot gun w/corrosion to break armor.

    Match weapons with you skill pts.

  • Krom was kinda easy cause i played the entire game with my brother i distracted him while my brother shot him in the head with sniper rifle

  • It's pretty much like any other RPG - it seems vanilla and boring until your character can actually use their unique abilities and get decent gear that they can work with.

  • if you play with two players,it is way more fun so you dont get bored and you dont need to "grind" because even killing enemies together is really fun

  • hmm i play this game almost non stop, i didnt find it repetative i actually started on my 2nd playthrough :3 i think it depends on how you play :P

  • i like watching lesbians grind

  • I thought it was amazing. I didn't want to buy it, but ran out of games and picked this one up. So many hours of addicting gameplay!

  • From 4:51 to 5:06 is fuckin hilarious lol

  • whats the name of the theme song?

  • I played this game alone its awesome did every single mission solo

  • ehhhh! u shud name tis ur review but u hate me whaaaaaaaa!

  • WHAT IS THE SONG AT 0:45

    Please tell me someone !

    plz !

  • hate me now nas ft. p.diddy

  • No it's not, it sounds different. Is there like an instrumental rock or metal version to this ?

  • yeah type hate me now rock version

  • I didnt find it boring the game picks up in about 30 mins to an hour with sort of tougher enemies to fight with, but playing with others is the best way.

  • Sledge takes a lot of strategy to beat?

    Here's my first playthrough (as brick)

    "He's a brute, don't let him touch you!"

    And I touched the crap out of him before I even ran out of rage.

    With roland it was a bit harder, I had to shoot twelve buckets of bullets at him.

  • @UltimatePotato i was a siren and i took him down kinda easy just have a good level and ability stuff and have an electric smg

  • @UltimatePotato dude.... you got to be kidding me.

    SLEDGE is freaking easy , just kill all the physcos and then hes easy.

    i beat him the from the first time

  • @TheMusicKing0906

    Hello. You speak-a english? Yes?

  • @UltimatePotato haha yea :P

    didnt see the ?

  • @UltimatePotato my strong class is beserker and i did the exact same thing i used my brick or barney as i named him ha ha but anyway i just used my special with either corrosive or explosive and basically killed him

  • @UltimatePotato well its takes alot of skill noob players would just run into there not knowing the bandits are the problem not sledge so when he said that he meant like covering the fight not just sledge

  • I had some Rocket launcher that did shock damage X4 and reloaded in like 3 seconds and did 800 damage but I accidently dropped it :( It was my second best gun.

  • I had this machine gun from S&S which had 81 bullets per clip that hit about 100 each hit and with criticles just owned my opponets but I have to kill two turrets that can kill me in like 10 seconds and I can't beat them.

  • this game is so much better playing with friends

  • i neva tried borderlands

  • yah i agree it does kinda suck when u play by yourself but wit me all my friends bout it and we played together on live and its really good then buit i do agree wit u completely

  • 0:43 Music?!!1

  • jus like fallout 3 lol

  • it might be just me but i love grinding...

    on runescape on oblivion on borderlands, its just really funny :)

  • @TheStockzzz yeah runescape is grind FEST. i love it though

  • see this game? its amazing while playing with a friend or 3 friends.

    DO NOT PLAY THIS GAME ALONE. its 10000000000x harder alone

  • @TheStockzzz i know ha ha i have it and i boosted my level up alot by joining a friends game and he gave me a lot of xp by killing really high level creatures in the last area. i haven't beat this game still though cuz im working on my mass effect 2 insanity playthrough, and my 360 broke. i've uploaded the first 21 parts to it then my xbox broke. it sucks

  • i agree with some parts of this review

  • for me to kill sledge i just find cover and shoot but if he comes i go the the cover on the other side or next to it and keep shooting

  • I must disagree with you there DarkSydePhil.

    I didnt grind at all, ever. and about the fight with Sledge, you are so wrong again. you played as a soldier, and there may be another stategy from the other characters in the game. I played as Brick. And what I did on Sledge, was to BASH HIS FACE IN WITH MY FISTS. from the start till he was dead. thats the strategy you have with Brick. bash everyone and everything with your fists. nuff said.

  • i ha dthe same problem none of my friends bought it but now one guy wants to buy it but im lv 28 and he will be lvl 1 so that gonna be annoyingXD.

  • Pshhh.. Some guys opinion about borderlands. IMO Borderlands is one of the best games of this year.

  • *cough* of last year

    mass effect 2 kicks its ass so hard

  • @XileLord Yeah last year :) Not played Mass Effect 2 just yet but hear good things about it.

  • You wouldn't have to grind if you did the side quests, i'm lvl 50 and I never had to grind

  • nice rko t shirt dsp

  • i love all of your hateful truth episodes 5:00 through 5:05 lol hahahaha

  • when he said...its really fun to grind with your friends...i LOL'd HARD

  • I really would like a Hateful Truth on Fallout 3........ PLEASE!!!!

  • :( i thought this shit was porn

  • Grinding at Borderlands? You gotta be kiddin' me. I'm on second playthrough and I haven't grinded even for 10mins.

  • he's probably talking about if you don't want to go on the second playthrough for whatever reason i'm on first playthough and i've grinded more than 30 minutes

  • even yhough they call you hateful phil your ain't so bad. at least you are fucking honest!

  • randy orton shirt ftw!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­

  • i think the only bad thing is u have to be a certain lvl to have a gun still good game

  • Wait isn't there another Boss?

  • what i hated is that you had to grind to advance in some of the really lower lv missions. like when fighting bone head. i could not fucking do it at my lv. i had to grind like all hell to be able to get him

  • i only grinded once the whole game. . and that was maybe for 30-45 min total

  • if he thinks the beging is boring try playthrough 2 they should have made for lvls and shit

  • what is them song

  • " This tentacle look'n m*****f**** thing " LMAOF:)

    Nice review, 5/5

  • wahts taht music?

  • @SuperKira111 Its called Do you call my name by Ra

  • very fun to grind with friends :D lol i prefer a girl grinding on me ;D

  • haha yea by sieng the vidoes u uploaded, it doesnt seem possible for u.

  • is he going to do the dlc's?

  • whats the song at the begining

  • Hahaha pause at 7:29

  • and btw WORLD OF WARCRAFT sucks.

    That game is "king of boring", there are more more more and more longer ways to go back and there is more more more more more......Grinding in wow than Borderlands and THAT is FUCKING BORING

  • @Jaksi12345 No it dosent shithead, dont knock a game u havent played dipshit

  • No there isn'nt ._.

  • Speacilly DONT FUCK COME TO TELL US IF BORDERLANDS SUCKS

    WE DONT CARE!

  • 4:10 don't put words into peoples mouth unless you know wut they mean. they meant that... I MEANT THAT as saying do different missions and come back to the repetetive stuffwhen it has lost it's repetetiveness. why do you think games are supposed to give everything to you without you thinking or working for it? and when it does, why do you hate the game for that?

  • you do know there are side quests. you know? the things that are to make grinding fun

  • This guý is fucking retarded.

    Dont listen him.

    Game is fucking great.

    Very FUN with friend

    And level 40-50 is boring guz no missions left :(

  • fuck you don't talk shit about

    DSP. asshole.

  • @ajmall3 fanboy.

  • so what. I watch DSP, and I like his vids. So yeah call me a fanboy, it doesn't bother me.

  • dude um i havetn faught the rakk hive or the last boss yet

    i only jstu beat krom the dude in the turret

    but

    sledge was easy as shit for me i was playing splitscreen with my freidns he used his bloodwign i used my turret and we just owned him in like 20-50 seconds

    most of the boses ive fought so far were to easy krom we just had to get to him then melee him and shoot him a bi tand he died to

  • get off his back, he couldnt play with his friends. And he does say its his own opinion. But the beginning levels arent that bad and in my opinion world of warcraft is worse in the beginning lvls.

  • ok dude you have some serious problems. i have been playing with my frinds since lvl 1 and were lvl 28 now and i never had to grind. you Really need to learn some patience. iv watched some of your videos and most of the time its just you talking and winning about how much you suck at that particular game.

    dont listen to this fool, this is a great game

  • should i buy this game? can someone tell me if this game is good or not

  • If you've played fallout and liked it yes, if you play WoW or aother different mmorpg then yes.

  • it is, it's just it's phils job in these videos to make it sound horrible so dumbasses will stop sending him messeges

  • Hey shithead blands is not repetitive dick mouth so shut ur fat ass up! and maybe r ant on one bad games that have came over the years. and loose 12 pounds and maybe ill listen to ur whore shit

  • Find T.K. Baha's Stolen Food 0/4

    Ok so I have to find some shit and turn it in? Alright.

    booze 0/24

    Finding more crap. Great.

    Fresh Fish 0/20

    Not again....

    Those are real quest objectives. BLands as you call it, is sometimes repetitive. Thank you for getting so defensive. What did you just watch his little part about grinding and get all pissy? He said it is fun and addictive with friends.

    "and loose 12 pounds and maybe ill listen to your whore shit" So you were listening?
