Borderlands Game Of The Year App Reviews

Wish I could get my money back for this. Should have played a demo or something first. All I do it pick up guns that wont kill any of the bad guys, constantly REKILL all the people I just killed, and buy more junk. And why does every bad guy know EXACTLY where Im at the entire game? Skip this garbage and buy something else from the app store. Waste of $30.

I have a 10.6.8 Mac OS X, with a 2.3 GHz Intel Core i5. This game runs very smoothly, even on high settings. I love playing Borderlands, and Borderlands 2. This game is worth every penny, and deserves attention. With the DLC content, this game itself is a steal.

Best game for mac possible. I was delighted to hear that Borderlands was also a mac accessable game. Most games are only available on PCs. This game is not just the best mac game, its the best game in general, its just your luck that its also on mac. This game has the perfect mix of plot and sandbox elements to keep you playing for hours. Unlike most games, it has over 20,000 unique guns, each gun with unique attributes and powers. The computer generated enemies adjust to your level to make the game challenging, but not over-kill. This game is the optimal merge of a basic sandbox game and a hardcore RPG game. Final Message: BUY THIS GAME!!! ITS WELL WORTH THE 30 BUCKS!!!!

does any one play online?

I was really excited about playing this game but unforuntely the lag is so bad that I cant even play. My specs are below, I have upgraded the ram to 8gb and it still doesnt work. All game settings on low. Anybody have any ideas or advice? Model Family:MacBook Pro Processor:2.26GHz Core 2 Duo (P7550 or P8400) Manufacturer:Intel # of CPUs:1 Codename:Penryn Display: Size:13.3" Finish:Glossy Resolution:1280x800 Memory:8GB OS:Lion Battery:58-watt-hour removable lithium-polymer Graphics:NVIDIA GeForce 9400M (256MB) Base Storage:160GB 5400RPM SATA 2.5" Optical Drive:8x DL Superdrive

sorry about that other review I was just raging cuz it was sooo laggy but this game is great please have borderlands 2 on the mac!

the game is not laggy and is the most fun ive had in a while

Im going to start of by saying this game is fantastic! I play on a early 2011 Macbook Pro with 4gb of RAM and 320gb Hardrive and it runs great. The single player aspect of the game is fun, challenging at some points, and can be confusing, but in a good way. The confusion just lets you explore the world known as Pandora. The Mac version isnt very different from the PC, Xbox 360, and PS3 version of the game besides the controls. If you dont have a mouse the game can be quite difficult to play so I recommend changing the zoom (aim) button to Q since it is very hard to use the trackpad in quick situations. Some lag may be experienced while playing, so I suggest plug into the power source if possible while playing to increase the power of the laptop. I have had the game for about 5 or so months now and I have yet to get the Multiplayer working. The program you need to use Gameranger is horrible and freezes up, requiring me to force quit it. Luckily I recently purchased the Xbox 360 version of the game and the multiplayer works flawelessly on that. It is a shame that the multiplayer doesnt work great but the single player portion of this game is well worth over thirty US dollars since it is included with four DLC Stories. The original story is great with creative and very intresting to play and leaves you on end wanting to know where to go next. The first DLC: Dr Neds Zombie island is a fun expansion to the game with very funny humor. The second DLC: Moxxis underdome was a little bit dissappointing. If you enter this DLC excited about continuing on quests and sidemissions you will be upset to find out that this DLC is just a battle Arena with multiple rounds, Not saying that it isnt a good edition but I expected more. The third DLC: The Secret Armory of General Knoxx is a similar to the first DLC with quests and side missions. Although I am not 100% finished with this DLC it is fun, yet much harder than the other ones. The new vehicles, and use of Scooter make you feel like scooter is more of a main character than a side character. The last DLC: Claptraps Robot Revolution is a fantastic way to tie up the ending to the normal Borderlands storyline. If you really dont care about the DLCs I would recommend at least playing This one although some of the bosses may be confusing because of skipping the other DLCs. I would rate this game a 4.5 because there is bad multplayer support. But at least its on MAC. Have a Great Day - Brandon

downloaded this game today and i really enjoy it. i run it on a 2 year old 15" macbk pro (w/ mouse and cinema display) and it works well so far. The game has alot of slick weapons, the graphics are nice and the story is a pretty neat concept. no regrets.

As someone who also played this extensively on the PC side, the multiplayer setup on the mac side is very cumbersome. You download an application from a third party (gameranger) which handles hosting. This means everytime you want to play a multiplayer game, you exit borderlands, and launch gameranger instead, which means everytime you have a problem hosting, you have to exit, adjust settings, and relaunch the game. Worst of all, if you would like to chat with the people you are playing with, you have to pay for a premium account through gameranger. On top of that, Ive found the service to be rather spotty (today I spent an hour trying to join a game, launching borderlands, and continuously timing out). So if youre buying this game to play with friends, keep this in mind! The actual game itself is a lot of fun. Very nice visuals (UDK engine with a touch of cell shading), with some very cool open world design. Occasionaly I find myself stopping and staring at the horizon, allowing myself to travel to the location I can barely see in the distance. There are some nice atmospheric effects as well to acheive the scope of the game. This game of the year edition really has a ton of content to play through, and the randomly generated weapon system is rather addicting. Im glad feral brought this game to mac, however the multiplayer experience (one of the best aspects of the game) has been somewhat ruined.

I bought Borderlands going into it thinking it would run well at higher setting simply due to the fact that my system (Late 2008 Macbook Pro) easily fit all of the technical specifications. I was surprised to see that the game ran poorly at first but tweaking settings can bring you around 60 FPS even on mine. These would include no AA or VSync but you bought a Macbook so you have to give up thngs like that. I did have to set settings like texture and quality down to medium and no shadows but in a game with this type of art style, the shadows actually dont make much of a difference. The game looks good at these settings and is fun, but of course you knew that already because Borderlands is Borderlands. The game itself is of course a 5/5 and for technical specifications and the quality of the port, an ok 4/5. I must admit, most systems made later than mine can run this game no problem so for most people it would be a 5/5 so lets just go with a 10/10 for the general population and somewhere around a 9/10 for me. But to be honest, my system isnt what youd call "high-tech" these days. Awesome game Feral, and Gearbox respectively. Keep up the good work, -Your truly AJ

This game is one of the best I have ever played. The graphics are just like the xbox360 and the gameplay is long and extensive. If you have an easy stomach though, there is alot of gore w/ the Shotguns. OVERALL GR8 GAME THOUGH!!!! only con is.. and I hate to say this is the Multiplayer

This game is so cool. I love it actually. Grafics are good fps stays good (most of the time any way, I did have 1 slip-up but just ONE) and overall the game is good. BUT Theres no multiplayer unless you can afford TWO macs to do a lan game which slows your internet and its just between you and your friend in the same house, as far as I see theres no online multiplayer. ALTHOUGH I did see something where it LOOKS like it could be multiplayer online but it just takes you the the web browser and asks to download some thing to play on line on over 500 games. PS IF SOMEONE KNOWS HOW TO DO MULTIPLAYER PLEASE TELL ME! THAT WOULD BE GREAT BECAUSE AS OF NOW THERES NO WAY TO DO IT. =(

One of the best games EVER on the mac app store great and totally worth buying!!!

This is one of those rare gems where theres still a lot to do even after youve beaten the game. Its incredibly addicting, though sometimes frustrating. You should buy this and recommend it to anyone who considers themselves a master of Call of Duty, because this game will throw you and them for a loop. There are so many weapons to acquire that just when you think youve mastered one weapon, along comes a better one. Also, if you think youre a master of Black Ops Zombies, you might want to try Jackobs Cove (Zombie Island of Dr. Ned), because the zombies there will give you something different entirely. The only problem with this is that there are no respawn points in the DLC areas for you to go to when starting the game, which can be very frustrating, especially at later levels. Oh, and if you like road warrior-type stuff, then try the T-Bone junction area (Secret Armory of General Knoxx), because this area has a LOT of vehicle combat, along with new vehicles. So, if youre debating about buying this game. I highly recommend that you do. This is also a good purchase if you cannot get Borderlands 2.

love this game, simply amazing…im running it on the 15 retina macbook pro, its gorgeous and runs flawlessly. borderlands 2 being purchased next !

this game is huge, I clocked myself walking from New heaven to firestone and it took me 14:26.45 minutes to walk/run across the game. this includes loadings screnes and some fights. if you looking for a huge game and cant run bordelrands 2 or dont own an xbox or ps3. than I highly recmend you to play bordlerands 1. Because truley this was and still is part of GoTy hall of fame. surly the will be among the classics our children will want to play. So play this and if at all possible borderlands 2. you wont regret your purchases and hundreds of horus spent playing.

I bought this game in Novemeber 2012 and havent stopped playing it. I love the different characters and weapons.

It has everything you need for hours of play time. Guns, money, Loot, monsters, and O did I mention guns? lots and lots of guns. overal super fun super cheap buy it end of story.

My Macbook Air 3,2 (OS X 10.6.8) is not widely considered as a gaming machine. But the performance here would convince you otherwise; I can toy around with the graphic options without any great decline in performance. Bioshock (the first one) performs even better. There are pre-setting for my Xbox 360 USB controller, and I have experienced no crashes so far. My only complaint has nothing to do with performance: there are no cheat codes for Mac, and this game is not so easy. Still, though, its quite a drawback knowing I will not be able to see much of this game because it gets too difficult to play because there is no console, no cheat codes, no trainers, and no (accessible) .ini files to alter in this Mac version.
