"When Borderlands was released back in 2009, it brought something fresh to the stagnant first-person shooter genre with its quirky and comedic characters, heavily quest-driven story and enough guns to arm a small country. With it taking close to one hundred hours to complete everything Borderlands had to offer and four very different characters to choose from, the only thing letting Borderlands down was too much deserts and its ending that was abrupt and unsatisfying. Three years later and Borderlands 2 has hit our shelves, but what can we expect? Can the sequel maintain everything that made Borderlands great while improving upon the few flaws?"
Take-Two: "We know there have been some concerns from Borderlands fans about Take-Two’s Terms of Service. Maintaining transparency and confidence with the community here is always our goal, and we wanted to address some of these concerns."
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."
Playing it now and it’s not so bad, but I’ve just started so maybe it will get worse
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.
I'm curious how they are going to do the Siren since they've kind of wrote themselves into a corner regarding the lore.
well, im sure the last eridium slab is the answer to that. either mystery or villain
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).
it will probably be alot like wonderlands, since that is the last borderlands game
but we'll see soon
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.
I would love a new game in the series, or a remake/remaster of the first three games.
While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.
