Finally managed to play some Borderlands Game of The Year edition and I am very impressed. Not so much with the gameplay so far but with the care they’ve taken. So many little design choices are adding up to a wonderful user experience:
- Clicking the left stick button once keeps up the sprinting. There’s no need to hold it down while running, which is always bloody awkward
- Ammo drops are linked to your weapons. I didn’t see a single batch of combat rifle ammo before I started carrying a combat rifle
- The comparison window shows which stats are higher or lower on each weapon
- There’s a marker on the HUD sensor to let you sight up on enemies while you’re crouching behind cover (ok, this kind of feels like cheating but I use it anyway)
Of course, the great experience is then completely shattered by an atrocious vehicle control scheme and total split-screen design fail.
Can't see!
What games give you a great user experience?
