Before I begin, let me lay out my gaming habits prior to BL2: Halo 2, Halo 3, Gears of War 2, Halo: Reach, Gears of War 3, and Halo 4. In all cases, I would be playing 95% online competitive multiplayer and I usually skip campaigns entirely. I just don’t find them particularly compelling.But, I was looking for a good, cheap, co-op campaign to play with friends when we didn’t feel like playing online matchmaking. BL2 became much more than a distraction, though, and is something we have been playing for a good year. Soon I will have completed the campaign for the 6th time, 3 times with two characters.The characters available to play with have varied and relatively well-balanced skills/special abilities and can work especially well when varied in teams. Strategies really do change with characters, so even though I have played with two characters, my approach to situations in the game is very different depending on my character. For example, the Gunzerker has the ability to dual wield weapons (including while bleeding out), boost life regen, throw two grenades, increase damage/accuracy, etc. He’s great for dealing fast damage, saving yourself from death (if you kill someone while bleeding out, you are alive again), distracting enemies from other players, etc. The Mechromancer deploys a killer robot that, among other things, can restore shields, melee attack enemies, shoot lasers, shoot balls of energy, etc. The robot is great for distracting enemies from everyone, helping out tea.
Expanding upon the time-sinking Borderlands, this game actually manages to improve upon the original, instead of suck from it. Although the original character classes are retired, the new classes are fun in their own right. And you’ll waste just as many hours, bouncing around Pandora, killing bandits and monsters, and picking up loot and achievements.The new Mechromancer class, though, should have come with the game instead later as an add-on. Once I started playing her, I rarely went back to my assassin.My only complaint is that Gearbox isn’t upgrading the game with the DLCs or TVH mode – once you hit the cap, you’ve hit the cap. No more ammo, no more levels, it almost makes the game disinteresting once you hit level 50. And the big bosses are literally impossible for a single player to defeat. I resent being forced into co-op play just to defeat a boss. Hence the removal of one star on the overall rating.Listen to the players, Gearbox – give us something to do with all that Eridium! Give higher ammo caps for TVH mode! And make the big bosses manageable for single players!
This game was worth the 60 bucks I paid for. I liked Borderlands 2 so much I bought it for a few of my friends. I even got a friend addicted, who, I might add, never was really into violent shooter type games. She became easily addicted and forces me to play with her all of the time. Everyone else I know that plays it, or that’s been introduced to it by me, loves it. The characters are colorful and interesting (even the ones you love to hate) and the story is a good one. You have the option of choosing 4 player classes with this game including the Assassin, Siren, Commando, and Gunzerker; however, if you choose to, you can also buy and download the Mechromancer and the Psycho. Out of the 6 classes, the Assassin, Psycho, Mechromancer, and Siren are my favorites. I don’t really care for the commando or gunzerker, but everyone has their own personal tastes. It may seem like a lot of money to buy two extra characters and the Season pass, but trust me, it’s all worth it. This game isn’t perfect, but then again, no game is ever 100% perfect. If you liked the first Borderlands, then you will probably like this one. And if you like building up/customizing your character, shooting things, using special abilities, and gathering loot, then this game is probably for you. Plus, Borderlands 2 is around 30 bucks now, which is half the price now than it was back when I purchased it. Go for it.
Borderlands 2 took everything from the first game and made it better. Thats what I would say if I had only played through as one character, but I have played through as everyone enough to know the ins and outs, and praise or complain where need be. As five stars tells you, I have little to complain or constructively criticize, so I’ll just go ahead and get that out of the way.Downfalls/minor gripes-As far as the comparison to the original goes,one aspect was completely removed , and that is your weapons proficiency. The more you used a sniper rifle, the more your stats got boosted for sniping.Very simple, and I kind of miss that. There is something that compensates for this, but I’ll get into that later.Your class selection has one big problem, and thats the gunzerker. Holding two guns does very little to make this class feel special when compared to, well ,anything else you could choose. You may never run out of bullets, but you may be bored to tears after using someone who can crowd control with turrets, or levitating someone with a black hole that does elemental damage. I would usually leave that out as its a personal preference, but I have yet to hear anyone praise gunzerking.They are too busy yelling profanities.For anyone who loves this character, no hard feelings buddy.For some reason your downloaded areas get new vehicles, but they are only usable in the dlc area which you obtained it.This is a very minor thing, but I really want to take that boat off some ramps.Spe.
Borderlands 2 brings to players an experience that the first one could not provide: a more solid story and a lot more fun with weapons, enemies and some interesting new characters. Although the thing about having over 1000 weapons available is overrated (I find it overwhelming and somewhat useless because who goes hunting for 1000 different weapons, accessories, etc. when monsters will likely drop the same or similar ones?) it still gives the fun in finding more rare or collectable weapons for your characters and give you the upper hand.Dislikes: The games and missions are a lot more challenging especially as one goes onto the True Vault Hunter Mode and Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode. I don’t mind a challenge, however having a enemy the same level or even at times a couple levels below you being much more powerful and accurate is agonizing and makes some parts completely frustrating. I appreciate not having horrible AIs that are easy to dodge half the time but really…. Don’t make them god aim.Once you complete normal and you bump up to True Vault Hunter Mode, all the weapons you had on normal that were amazing and useful will suddenly become completely pointless and it is difficult to find a new set of weapons that actually do damage again. That cool rare gun you had will be child’s play. I don’t like feeling like I have to start over against a near impossible because now everything takes me down in a few hits and they have the health bar of Sephiroth from FFVII. New enemies ge.
I originally had no interest in Borderlands nor in Borderlands 2. The box art (though it fits) just made it seem like a game that I wouldn’t like. Then friends of mine started playing them and I decided to give it a try. I was very glad I did since it is really a lot of fun. It’s a great combination of RPG and FPS elements. The FPS elements are intentionally not realistic, which is something I prefer, and the RPG elements don’t include lots of endless level grinding which is something that puts me off of a lot of RPGs.I played through most of the game single player but then started playing co-op with friends on Xbox LIVE towards the end of the game and then for the DLC and for a second play-through. The game is really fun either way. It’s great to have a nice co-op game I can play with friends who’ve moved out of state since it’s allowed us to recreate a similar experience to the game nights we used to have before they moved. But it’s also still fun to play through on my own with other character classes when I have some free time and the others aren’t available.I hope there’s a Borderlands 3 for the next gen systems and in the mean time would gladly pay more if Gearbox decided to release more DLC on top of the 4 quests they already announced (3 of which are out as of now). I’m very glad my friends talked me in to giving this series a try and the only people I wouldn’t recommend it to are people who really don’t like any FPS games (whether stylistically or because they get mot.
THE genre-defining FPS-RPG somehow got bigger and badder.The first Borderlands set the standard for what a FPS-RPG should be like on both the RPG mechanic-side and FPS shooter-side. These are the mechanics that Mass Effect wish they had pulled off, but didn’t come close to until the 2nd/3rd game, which Gearbox Software knocked out of the park on their first attempt.Borderlands 2 has refined the mechanics, classes, weapons, characters, and world of Borderlands, creating an advanced polish that was not as consistent in the first game.The only reason I wouldn’t recommend this specific title is that there is a newer, GotY edition, that includes the DLC missions and upgrades. Find me a better 4-player co-op FPS/RPG – you can’t.
It is a fantastic sequel to the first one. It’s back with new missions, more crazy guns, and new characters. I have to say I was a bigger fan of the original characters. The new characters in this game have no depth whatsoever, and are just referred to as "Vault Hunters". The game’s main villain Handsome Jack is a total badass though. He’s pure evil, but hilarious. And I like the fact that the original characters return as a major part in the story, although my favorite one from the first Borderlands died -_- (spoiler I guess).Anyway, the graphics are the same unique cartoonish style from the first. The worlds are pretty cool to look at when exploring. And the animations of the enemies are cool as well.I fell in love with the whole FPS RPG gameplay from the first one. But I don’t really like the skills the game offers this time around. I suggest ALWAYS playing in multiplayer because the game is just so much more fun, you get better loot and fight tougher enemies. Only downside is when you have greedy players that take every single item that drops. You could fight them for it though.All in all, it’s a great game. The story isn’t that long, but it still has great replay value because you could always choose different classes. Plus when you beat the game you unlock "True Vault Hunter" mode, which is just a repeat of the story but with stronger enemies, better loot, and slight variations in quite a few missions.If you love a good FPS shooter, I more than recommend.
I first experienced borderlands 1 as a two player affair and ended up beating it on my own. Not exactly the preferred way of playing, but that’s how it went, and it skewed my view of the game.The second one takes the concerns and doubts I had and dashed them, leaving me with a fantastic game that has me hungry for more. My one caveat is that this game rewards co-op, with more enemies and more loot being available with more players (it scales!). Unfortunately, it also punishes solo runs, as many of the skills and mechanics just aren’t worth using if you’re not on a team.There is a pretty good scaling system, where you feel like a badass for about 30 minutes before finding a new enemy type that can completely bring you back down to earth. Then you work your ass off for a few hours and are rewarded with a new gun that makes you feel like a badass for about 30 minutes before finding… well, you get the idea.The formula is obvious, but it works, because of the varying strategies necessary to defeat certain enemies and the difference in locales (snow, deserts, mountains, etc). Not sure if I could recommend this game if you’re playing solo, which could be fun since you don’t have to share, but it’s going to be difficult.
I whole heartedly recommend this game. It was exdeedingly fun and exudes charm at every turn.The only real complaint I can make is that I actually got tired of playing it. That is not to say is has no replay value. It does, in spades! I got my first character (gunzerker) up to level 50 – the max on initial release – and then proceeded to play the other 3 characters to get all achievements. After that I needed a break. Will definitely return to it once DLC goes on sale.The online co-op is loads of fun also. Great game made with top notch production values. Pick it up today!
