Proven Gamer: Love guns? Love looting? Love Questing? Well do I have good news for you. Borderlands 2 is the sequel to the absolutely amazing FPS RPG Borderlands, released back in 2009, published by 2K Games and developed by Gearbox Software. Borderlands 2 was originally released on the 360, PS3, and PC back in 2012, but it has just been recently released for the PS Vita!

Good to hear it's better than I've heard.

Summons754007d ago

Eh its pretty bad but there hasn't been a fps that HAS been good on the Vita sadly. Love my vita but don't really dropped the ball

refocusedman4007d ago

Killzone mercenery is a pretty good fps.

emad-E-three4007d ago

Killzone Mercenary is an awesome FPS with its solid 30fps add to it the beautiful graphics makes it better than some console FPS available in the market! Hell on storyline its even better than Shadow Fall!!

Yes the Vita is suffering but enough you don't need to troll the system if you don't like it!

Summons754006d ago

@emad-E-three

How am I possibly trolling the system when I just said I OWN one and LOVE it? Graphics don't make a game, sure Killzone LOOKS good but it doesn't PLAY very well the gameplay doesn't match to it's ps3 counterparts.

Sorry that it's a fact the Sony dropped the ball with the vita and besides a very small handful of must buy games it's biggest redeeming quality is being able to play PS1 games on the go. Like I said I have a Vita, I love it, but after beating all the must own games and nothing else really coming for it the only thing I use it for is to play Ps1 games on my break at work.

Scatpants4007d ago

I like it a lot more than most of the reviews have said. The ign review is practically slander. That reviewer should be fired

Becuzisaid4007d ago

A 5.4/10 is ridiculous. The game is great. It has crashed on me a few times but the frame rate is always fine and I'm playing on my level 50 commando. Frantic crazy action at that level with no big problems running on the Vita.

You calling for someone else's job. Slander.

Scatpants4006d ago

Not really, but he probably single handedly made thousands of people not buy this game for what almost amounts to lies. He referred to the framerate as a slideshow when it usually runs fine other than the occaisional drop. also said the graphics weren't any good when they look fine on Vita, and the control scheme was bad when you can switch the controls to whatever you want (I like the power setup).

belac094007d ago

im enjoying it. its not that bad at all.

JackOfAllBlades4007d ago

All the doom and gloom was exaggerated terribly

ginsunuva4006d ago

It's actually indistinguishable from the console versions a good portion of the game time.

Definitely buy it; framerate only drops when someone with bad connection joins my game.

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."

TheNamelessOne275d ago

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

pwnmaster3000275d ago

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

DustMan274d 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.

Demetrius274d ago

I recently finished 3, definitely had fun fr

-Foxtrot275d 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_drake275d ago

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

-Foxtrot275d 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_B274d ago

inb4 the next siren is a trans character.

gold_drake275d ago

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

but we'll see soon

Terry_B274d 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.

RaidenBlack274d ago

Hey Gearbox, remember Brothers in Arms?

Abnor_Mal274d ago

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

RaidenBlack274d ago

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

5 Amazing Side Quests In Games That You Need To Experience

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

Honorable mention to Drive Clubs Ferrari Fxx-K. Should be there over Horizon.

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

Gardenia852d ago

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

dumahim852d ago

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

toxic-inferno852d 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.
