Uproxx - So, with my review out of the way, I’ve been playing Borderlands 2 purely for fun. And I freely admit, it’s a hard game. There are moments, especially since I’m going solo on the game as a Commando, that are damn hard. I’m dying a lot, I’m not afraid to admit. It’s got a tough difficulty curve, which is what happens when you mock a developer for making a game that was “too easy”.
GF365: "Whether it be style, speed or firepower, these rides are sure to satisfy. Here are our picks for the ten best vehicles in video games."
The Suzuki Escudo Pikes Peak from the Gran Turismo series
Nissan Skyline from Need for Speed Underground
Motorcycle Steamroller from Dead Rising 3
And finally a car you never drive but saves your ass over and over : Honey Badger from COD MW2
I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.

Despite lacking Call of Duty, the Nintendo Switch has many great shooters to replace it. Here are some of the best shooters on Switch.
Anyone else have a small but noticeable delay in aiming on Borderlands 2? Anytime I move the aiming reticle, there is maybe a quarter of a second (250ms) delay before it moves. Happens in both Handheld and Docked.
For what is is worth, I generally dislike difficult games and am never one of those people who say that beating a particularly difficult part of a game is rewarding in and of itself.
But seriously, Borderlands 2 is suppose to be impossibly difficult? I played the most fragile class (the Assassin) and I had no problems burning through True Vault Hunter mode and hitting 50.
Sure, I died a lot but the game has an almost non-existent penalty for death so I never really considered dying as an impediment. For me, an impossibly difficult game is where you hit a point that you cannot proceed without spending hours and hours to get through. Only spot in the game that have come close are the Pirates Booty raid bosses. I can solo Terramorpheous with a bit of luck and I farm the Warrior in under 3 minutes.
Also, Commando is by far the easiest class to solo. As long as you have an upgraded turret, you shouldn't be having problems...
Also, if you just do the story missions then your gonna have a hard time. I went through the game and did all the side missions available after each story mission was completed and it made the game much easier. Of course, the difficulty goes up dramatically once more players join your game. Try playing with 4 lvl 50 characters...fun times...
The game is as hard as any RPG when you go skipping into an area you have no business being in at lvl 10. I don't k ow where a lot of these people complaining about the difficulty are coming from. You can handle anything in the game with the right equipment, and I'm not even talking about The Bee. And the game is made for coop, so yaknow, play coop.
I'm sorry, I can't hear your complaints about Borderlands 2 difficulty over the sound of my soldiers' dying screams in XCOM on classic.
Borderlands 2 ... impossible...LOL (and I mean that literally). Not even close to impossible. Impossible is something like a plat on WipeoutHD or Gran Turismo 5. Even Dark Souls/Demon's Souls is much harder than Borderlands 2.
