GameInformer- When it comes to handheld ports, “just like the original, but smaller” is usually the highest praise you can expect to see. That may not sound like a high bar to clear, but as Borderlands 2 on Vita illustrates, much can be lost in the transition from the big screen to a portable one. Even with most of the same content intact, developer Iron Galaxy made a few pivotal changes to Gearbox’s original design, resulting in a substantially diminished experience.
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.

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.
I like the title
I don't disagree with there's score but I don't agree with anyone that says it controls poorly or runs awful.
Can't wait till we get more info on the borderland the prequel.
I think it runs pretty smooth I think the slim model is easier to use the rear touch pad is smaller and you have to move your finger half way to the middle to use the attack button which gives you more room less chance of accidentally hitting it. I think the front touch screen is more sensitive than the fat model because I don't have any problems with it the tips of my fingers are so warn I have problems with most touch screens. Maybe he did his review before the patch because it did help a lot. A 7 isn't bad I'd give it an 8.5 fives and sixes like some of these reviews should only be given to bad games this aint no bad game.
im enjoying the game a lot on the vita, its a little rough, but not game breaking rough, its really pretty impressive, a game this large on the vita is pretty good.
