Borderlands: the Pre-Sequel

Black Haru · Oct 2, 2014

Anybody excited about this?

I enjoyed Borderlands 1, it was fresh new and crazy. Borderlands 2 improved on things, but after playing the campaign coop with 2 friends, it got very repetative and extremely boring after a few hours. Also claptrap simply isn't funny anymore. Hopefully they won't have quite so many half baked desperate attempts at jokes every 30 seconds during the campaign. Hopefully it will actually be funny, and be a little more entertaining as opposed to same-y type gameplay the second one turned into.

Best part of 2 was the Enhanced Bane gun. Greatest gun ever made. Pissed myself when I got it and used it for a full hour before going criminally insane.

From what I read, there are more bad jokes. However in an interview with a game dev, they said this one was more frenetic and fast paced . I didn't like 2 as much because it was a lot of duck and cover. Should be interesting at least.

Its funny because I found part one to be boring and part two better. Ill get this one on the next Steam Winter sale.

The story on 2 was much better, but the gameplay wasn't.

I also tend not to buy any game that comes with a Season Pass until it's £3.75 on steam for the GOTY edition. Season Passes are a bane in themselves.

I can agree on that

I preordered BL2 and the seasons passes and enjoyed every bit of it. I would def preorder this one.

....... they actually named the game Borderlands the Pre-Sequel? Wow.

Kursah · Oct 2, 2014

Looking forward to this. I have played through 1 several times, I love it. Has been years of fun. I own 2 but haven't played it as much...mostly because time and other games catch my interest. Plan on playing through it soon though. I will grab this on a Steam sale for sure.

Keep these guys funded while they work on releasing Homeworld Remastered. :toast:

i think ill have to wait till the 17th, or 19th for it to be delivered.

LiveOrDie · Oct 18, 2014

This engine still has a problem with Physx lag which is a let down, I have ran the same mission 4 times so these runs are all the same part of the map. I was running SLI just before and i got a FPS drop as low as 19.

Is this worth 60 dollars? I am having a hard time wanting to spend that much for it.
