Borderlands 2 review for PS Vita | Gaming Age

Considering the near-universal acclaim that greeted Borderlands 2 on its initial release, the question facing the game on its release on the Vita isn't "is it any good?"

My god, the ratings of this game is just all over the place

3.5 / 8 / 3 / 9.5 / 4 / A / 2.5 / Excellent / ...

I gues I'll just try it out when it finally comes out over here

Give it a try! Its not bad at all. There are some slowdowns, but nothing thats going to stop you from having fun. The controls take about an hour to get used to, but once you get the hang of it, its smooth sailing.

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."

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

pwnmaster3000286d ago

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

DustMan285d 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.

I recently finished 3, definitely had fun fr

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_drake286d ago

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

-Foxtrot286d 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).

inb4 the next siren is a trans character.

gold_drake286d ago

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

but we'll see soon

Terry_B285d 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.

RaidenBlack285d ago

Hey Gearbox, remember Brothers in Arms?

Abnor_Mal285d ago

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

RaidenBlack285d ago

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

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

dumahim863d ago

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

toxic-inferno863d 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.
