My Awesome New Borderlands 2 Gun Won’t Stop Judging Me

Kotaku - Like I mentioned yesterday, I felt like I was in a rut for a little while with my Borderlands 2 arsenal. But suddenly, upon starting the first, pirate-themed DLC, I wound up with an embarrassment of great weaponry. When it rains, it pours (bullets).

vortis4358d ago

Smoly smacking sexy bullets that's hot.

violents4358d ago

that seems really annoying. I know im gonna catch flak for this but i really didn't get into the first one so i dont think im gunna get this one. I found it to be too repetitive(the same enemies all the time everywhere.) it annoyed me so i quit.

Swiftcricket4358d ago (Edited 4358d ago )

This one has more variety than the first one but you are going to kill the same enemies still once in a while. (I'll attach a picture that shows them). But really, how many games DON'T have it at least a little bit? Maybe this game genre just isn't your cup of tea, and I can respect that I'm not going to rag on anyone just because they don't like something I personally love.

Edit: Picture turned out small for some reason sorry :/. Just Google Borderlands 2 enemies poster and you should find it.

violents4358d ago (Edited 4358d ago )

Thats the thing tho is I do like games like this I just didnt really get into it for some reason or another. Oh well plenty of other great games out there.

Everytime I left town I.would get like 10ft out the door and get attacked by a pack of those dog things and the same three badits every time amd it pissed me off so I quit. Im kind of a picky bitch about stuff like that tho, so I miss out I guess.

I can assure you unequivocally that Borderlands 2 blows the original out of the water. I legitimately HATED the first game for the same reasons. Borderlands 2 has so much variety. It's the perfect sequel and well worth checking out.

Vladplaya4358d ago (Edited 4358d ago )

Because its just a mediocre game that has been over hyped... If you are not into loot games where you switch your weapons every few minutes, then there is nothing else that would stand out for you. Mediocre game is mediocre, its neither bad nor good.

Campy da Camper4358d ago

I was the same way. I think the cel-shading didn't help, either. Normally, I don't mind some repetitiveness but those fricking dogs ALL DAY...lol

Swiftcricket4358d ago

This gun is obtainable in a side mission in the main game did this guy not even play through all of the original quests yet? This "news" is basically over a month old and this gun still isn't that impressive to warrant an article even if it was brand new. I found the gun a bit amusing at first but was extremely happy when I found a replacement for it because by that point I was nearly to the point of downgrading just to spare myself the constant nagging.

LuCifer8454358d ago

Omg I got that gun awhile ago its sooo annoying. Its good, but sold it after about an hour. Too annoying

csreynolds4357d ago

I've got me one of those stored in my vault - couldn't bring myself to get rid of it!

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."

TheNamelessOne42d ago

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

pwnmaster300042d ago

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

DustMan41d 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.

Demetrius41d ago

I recently finished 3, definitely had fun fr

-Foxtrot42d ago

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_drake42d ago

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

-Foxtrot42d 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_B41d ago

inb4 the next siren is a trans character.

gold_drake42d ago

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

but we'll see soon

Terry_B41d 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.

RaidenBlack41d ago

Hey Gearbox, remember Brothers in Arms?

Abnor_Mal41d ago

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

RaidenBlack41d ago

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

While gamers usually take notice of the mainline missions, these 5 side quests deserve more widespread attention for how entertaining they are.

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

Gardenia620d ago

I was thinking of Mad Max. That V8 felt really good to drive around in, especially with upgrades.

dumahim620d ago

No one liked the Batmobile in Arkham Knight. Top 10?

toxic-inferno619d ago

I don't know... It was a strange addition to the game, and the parts of the game where you had to fight in it were tedious. But driving it around Gotham felt brilliant.
