I played the original Borderlands with a couple of friends, and it was a blast. Unfortunately, I didn't buy Borderlands 2 at launch as opposed to the friends I completed Borderlands 1 with. Seeing how BL2 is currently on flash sale, I was wondering if it's worth playing solo. Any thoughts? Thanks!

EDIT: Wow. I did not expect this many responses. Let alone, how little time it took for all of you to respond. An overwhelming majority of you say it's still fine solo, so I think I'll go for the purchase!

Thanks for the advice guys!

Buy it. I completed it on solo, tons of fun! You can also play with strangers if you want, of course.

Most of my time was solo, and I have over 240 hours. So yes.

Buy it and ask your friends to play it again with you. One run isn't enough to put a char on the higher lvls...

Personally I found it way more fun with friends. But there's always the option of online co op and it's still fun solo.

Even watching paint dry is more fun with friends. However, if a game has any resemblance of a story it would be more wise to finish it solo first.

I feel like watching paint dry with my friends would lead to murder out of boredom...

Im going to go against the rest here, borderlands its super boring solo, maybe 1 or or two but it gets boring really fast. Its basically the same as borderlands 1, play it with friends or die of boredom.

What makes them so diferent, they are absolutely the same.
EDIT: BL2 might be a little better but its not a huge improvement.
EDIT2: Sos argentino tambien, jajaja.

Another guy from Argentina giving his own opinion: I only played the game solo; finished it with as the siren, played a bit as the Mechromancer and I'm currently playing as the psycho (bought the dlc, +season pass on sale). I love the game, I'm pretty sure it's probably better with friends but I really like it (specially the psycho pack, I love the high risk/high reward style :D
My only complain is that if I ever want to play as another class I'll have to start from level 1 :/

Ps: I would love to be able to start with a level 30 character in True Vault Hunter Mode so I could try all the classes.
Pps: I also found the game more fun and funny than the first one.

This. Haven't played it with friends so I don't know if it gets better co-op. But both 1 and 2 are so boring. No idea what's up with this overrated game tbh.

I don't like the series either. It's just hundreds of boring kill-and-hope-for-a-drop quests like WoW

I have to agree, I got so bored I didn't bother to finish the game. Didn't care much for the first game either, so it wasn't a huge surprise or letdown.

It's a game built with co-op in mind, personally i find it enjoyable even on solo, but only the first run.

Solo is great, especially the first time through - rushing through those games to keep up with a party (even worse if someone is a veteran) takes away the thrill of doing it yourself, and the enjoyment of seeing everything and finding the hidden treasures at your own pace.

After you've beaten the game, sure, go nuts in multiplayer if you want, but solos still fun on harder difficulties.

I found it enjoyable solo, however its the multi-player and other classes that add re-playability to the game after it would be expiration date solo.

I've got around 200 hours in the game completely solo. It's still loads of fun without co-op.

Looking at all the answers, I regret I didn't purchase it because I'm too busy lately to play online. Damn it

I must be the only one ever who doesn't like Borderlands. I think it is boring, really so. Co-op or not.

I'd avoid like the plague.

Sid Meier's Civ V 227 hrs on record. Maybe you're the strategy games type of guy :P I understand where you're coming from. Loot hoarding is not everyone's cup of tea. I logically find it pointless, but I somehow find fun in that... somehow.... damn it! :D
