Borderlands 2 will have no required installation on PS3

PSU.com writes:

"If there's one thing that PlayStation 3 gamers don't enjoy, it's the mandatory installation tied to many of our favorite games. The upside is generally reduced load times and better performance, but the window of waiting is still a right pain."

Im not bothered about installs, i kinda prefer them, if it helps the game to run better anyway

pixelsword5077d ago

Yeah, I love it when writers speak for me then get it wrong. :D

I'm also a PC gamer, and the installs don't bother me there either.

Shane Kim5077d ago

What do sucks though, is to get ur ass out of the couch and change cd's a la PS1 days.

dredgewalker5077d ago

Installs never bothered me either, plus I prefer installs because it helps increase the lifespan of the bluray drive.

JBSleek5077d ago

Why wouldn't they want installs it allows the game run smoother and better.

That must mean Borderlands 2 is coded very well or isn't a resource hog.

SSKILLZ5077d ago (Edited 5077d ago )

maybe the runs smoother and better already

shutUpAndTakeMyMoney5077d ago

Isn't the point of console gaming not having to worry about pc installs?

I Sure Hope The Next Borderlands Is A Lot Like Borderlands 2

Ahmad from eXputer: "Borderlands 2's unrivaled storytelling is something that has to lean into the core elements of the next iteration in the Borderlands series."

TheNamelessOne661d ago

What? You didn't love the cringe writing that 3 had?

pwnmaster3000661d ago

Playing it now and it’s not so bad, but I’ve just started so maybe it will get worse

DustMan660d ago

It's not bad. It's just hard to top Handsome Jack as an antagonist. I really enjoyed 3. It has the best gameplay of the entire series, and it holds the same vibe. Tiny Tina's Wonderland was a huge disappointment to me.

Demetrius660d ago

I recently finished 3, definitely had fun fr

I'm curious how they are going to do the Siren since they've kind of wrote themselves into a corner regarding the lore.

gold_drake661d ago

well, im sure the last eridium slab is the answer to that. either mystery or villain

-Foxtrot661d ago

I meant more in terms of how they established only 6 Sirens can exist in the entire Universe...which was kind of silly to me as they seem to all end up on Pandora, and the Universe is a pretty big place.

Then there's now the fact, since Borderlands 3 retconed it, when a Siren dies she can transfer her power to the next Siren, they don't have to be born with it. This also means there's only 6 Siren powers which will end up being recycled as the franchise goes on.

Phasewalk (Lilith)
Phaselock (Maya / Ava)
Phasetrance (Amara)
Phaseshift (Angel / Tannis)
Phaseleech (Tyreen)

So there's only one power unaccounted for and I'm guessing it belonged to Commandant Steele. There was Queen Dido but she died and someone else like Amara, Maya or Angel could have gotten their powers so really it only gives them one more Siren before they need to start rethinking things going forward.

Either we get Phaseleech next or whatever power Commandant Steele had (kind of odd she never used it in her boss fight but you know).

Terry_B660d ago

inb4 the next siren is a trans character.

gold_drake661d ago

it will probably be alot like wonderlands, since that is the last borderlands game

but we'll see soon

Terry_B660d ago

Most people do. But the people that create the games don't seem to understand that.

I bet it will be even worse than BL3 when it comes to story and character designs.

RaidenBlack660d ago

Hey Gearbox, remember Brothers in Arms?

Abnor_Mal660d ago

I would love a new game in the series, or a remake/remaster of the first three games.

RaidenBlack660d ago

I'd want them to do the 4th part and just end the story of Baker Company.
