I was introduced to Borderlands sometime in 2009.
I guess I completely ignored it back then. It seemed like yet another game in the shooting franchise.
I saw the trailer again in 2010, and decided not to try it at all.
Earlier this year, I decided to finally try it because of many people telling me to play it with them.
I haven’t stopped playing it since then. (not literally, but almost every night before I go to sleep)
The game started as a small game that 2K (the game creator) wanted to simply roll out as a way to have another game in the market.
Borderlands had such a brilliant gameplay experience, though, that it propelled the game to the top charts. A sequel “Borderlands 2” is in the works, and is probably the most anticipated and talked of game of the year.
What started of as a small entry with almost no expected income success rate by the developers turned it into their most sought after game.
With their simple intention of trying something random and small, they achieved one of the biggest jackpots in the gaming industry.
What do you think?
Do you think it’s the biggest, or even the best, Cult game ever?
Do you think the unique replay value in the game (the willingness to play the game again and again, even after finishing it once) makes it more unique than any other game out there? With billions of guns available in the game, millions of die-hard Borderlands gamers already think so.
One thing learned from this: Try whatever you like, even if it’s small. When you keep trying a lot, some of your efforts will result in something.
The question is: is this just a small cult, or is this actually a favorite on a much larger scale, even if it’s like a cult following?
Please share your comments below. Thanks for reading – I now have to go back to my Borderlands PT2 game.
