Neil writes "The last generation of consoles may still be rolling along nicely for some, but for many, new gen is where it’s at. However, that doesn’t stop us from harking back to days gone by, reminiscing about some of our favourite games over the last few years. Many of those who have already made the jump to the new more powerful consoles will look back to Borderlands and its sequel as being standout titles of the old generation. With that in mind, the arrival of Borderlands 2 and its slightly less hyped cousin, Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel on Xbox One and PS4 is pretty exciting.
But is the combination of the two, in one big Handsome Collection package, worthy of our cash all over again?"
There are some epic PlayStation Plus Premium shooters, from Naughty Dog's Uncharted series to the high-stakes action of Doom published by Bethesda.
Couldn’t agree more. Still love It as a shooter to this day.
Just something about that game. I really wish they would just do a remaster, don’t even need a remake just bring it up to todays out put, touch up a few things if any, and I am there to buy it day one.
Of course I would love a remake built from the ground up. As long as they treated it like Shadow of the Colossus, or close to those type of remake. Wouldn’t want it to get the RE treatment…. Just because the game is already paced so perfect and hits all the right beats that I wouldn’t touch that aspect.
If you've been holding out on picking up any of the titles in 2K Games' Switch lineup, now might be the best time to bite as Borderlands, The Outer Worlds, and more get deep discounts.
These actually run quite well on switch but you are welcome to show us how ignorant you are if you like. I picked up the handsome collection because of how nice it looks on switch compared to something like outer worlds. Outer worlds is blurry trash on switch.
I have The Outer Worlds on both PS4 and Switch and it most definitely didn't run bad on Switch. How many hours did put in on the Switch version?!
My profile says I played for 75 hours so I put up with some stuff. And it does run bad on switch. The latest patch helped to keep it at 30fps but it still doesn't stay there. Then there are those moments when the game stops you where you are to load assets, you can't tell me you haven't seen that loading circle in the center of the screen. Lastly, and most damning in my opinion, is how blurry the game is. Monarch in particular gave me a headache to look at for long, orange soup for miles.
Look, I get it, you're a switch fan. So am I. That doesn't mean we have to be dishonest and claim that games that were obviously never meant to come to the platform actually run flawlessly.
Examples of ported games that look nice on switch: skyrim, dark souls, borderlands, bioshock, diablo 3
Examples of ported games that look like a fart on switch: outer worlds, witcher 3, divinity os 2, doom 2016, ark survival
It isn't hard. Play what the switch handles well, skip what it doesn't and don't confuse people as to what looks good and what doesn't.
There are several Xbox One game deals right now on Amazon and Microsoft Store, including hits like Need for Speed Heat.
One of my favourite game series for awesome characters and seeing as I missed the pre-sequel on last gen this is perfect for me.
I'm playing Borderlands 2 from the handsome collection & can't believe what I missed out on from last gen, I think I must have had other games at the time. It's great. I'm playing on PS4 & I'm having a blast. One thing wrong is the framerste gets dodgy at times, but its a really good game.
Playing through it now on splitscreen, and it's just a total blast! It did freeze at the very start for some reason and had to reset the console, but I hope that was a once-off hiccup. The content on offer here is immense!
I'm onto my second character and true vault hunter mode in BL2. Will wait until they get the performance patch out for TPS before I jump in there.
Really an amazing amount of content in BL2 alone with all the DLC. Such a great game, haven't touched Destiny since.
Bungie could learn a lot about side missions and in game story building from Gearbox.
