Complex: "For all its faults, Borderlands 2 still gets a lot of things right. Its humor is dead-on most of the time, and the loot almost never stops flowing. Blasting bandits and robots in their big dumb faces with friends is as fun as ever. And I always want to complete the current quest, if only to find out what the next one will be.
"But despite the swashbuckling success of the first Borderlands 2 expansion, "Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty," the game's second DLC campaign, "Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage," succeeds in only some of these areas."
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.
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.
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.
no level cap increase :(
"But despite the swashbuckling success of the first Borderlands 2 expansion, "Captain Scarlett and her Pirate's Booty," the game's second DLC campaign, "Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage," succeeds in only some of these areas."
Torgue is better than Scarlett in every way possible. The only reason Scarlett isn't the worst piece of DLC to date for the franchise is because Moxxi's Underdome exists.
I was going to read the full review but it is divided up into 6 pages with about two paragraphs on each page. I know sites are driven by page views but COME ON MAN!!!!
That is 5 pages views you wont be getting from me. Sorry.
