Proven Gamer: Borderlands 2 Review

In late 2009, Borderlands was released to the fans gripping them with exciting co-op and as many guns as you can imagine. While not a perfect game by any means, Borderlands built up a good following and had many successful DLC packs, allowing for a sequel to be released. Fast forward to now, Gearbox is at it again bringing us Borderlands 2 touting 870 gajillion guns, a more in depth story, and new classes; and I am happy to say they have succeeded.

[ddurand1]

great reivew but im waiting for the game of the year edition.

dont have any friends that are buying this game unfortunately so id be kinda dumb not to wait

[xPhearR3dx]

Not really. I read a few reviews that said part 2 is much more tolerable for single player gamers where 1 made you feel like you needed co-op partners.

[AmigoSniped]

I would totally agree, when reviewing it I played a majority of the game on my own. Only a few parts were difficult on my own. The game is however still much more enjoyable with friends.

[ddurand1]

itd still be considerably more fun to team up with a friend.

ill still give it a go though. just saving it for the best bargain i can get.

[xPhearR3dx]

@AmigoSniped Oh of course. Can't wait to team up with my friends.

@ddurand1

There's always matchmaking options. Never hurts to find new friends, especially ones who are dedicated to Borderlands and will play for a long time.

the original was not hard for single players as I've played it alone and only play coop to help my brother and get the coop trophies. there's a reason why it's called an RPG...role playing! you'll find it hard if going directly for objectives and higher level missions! that's just not the way it's meant to be played! it's about grinding and looting and tackling the missions when you're ready.

Wouldnt that pic make a great tattoo?

[MasterD919]

I regret not going to pick this up at midnight...I'll have to wait until morning.

Renting it, Right Now the Only games that are worth getting my money are COD BO 2 and AC3

[TrickyMic]

COD BO 2 worth a buy? Im sure will be a good game, but imho that game is not worth buying due to the fact you get a cod every year. Borderlands 2 is a must buy due to the fact that the game is so massive that you could play for months before getting to every part of content while the single player in COD is so short you could beat that in a couple hours. People only buy COD for multiplayer these days. On a side note, AC3 is starting to get that way of a new one every year. The difference is the story is always there in AC games while the story in COD is just thrown in!

[Dragonlord112]

COD is only a buy if it has Zombies in it and with my experience of BO 1, Zombies kept me hooked. I already know that single players for COD are extremely short, but mostly am buying COD for Zombies. AC3 is completely different I saw trailer and gameplay of it and instantly pre-order, why because the gameplay is way different then the other AC games, but to be honest hear the only AC game I own is AC1 so I can finally rest since am getting now AC3.

Played it and loved it! so much focuse on gameplay with the addition of good story= cant go wrong. So many games forget about game play now adays :/
