[Bakuhatsu Pengin]

borderlands series of games is an rpg fps that features lots of randomly generated guns and items

 

u go around and shoot stuff ded to get better stuff to shoot stuff ded better

 

there was borderlands 1 and 2

 

and now they are making a game that fits chronologically between 1 and 2

 

but technologically is actually a sequel to borderlands 2 because they added more mechanics to game

 

borderlands presequel (blps) is on THE MOON and it has lasers and you can jump high and groundslam and freeze things

 

 

FOUR "NEW" PLAYABLE CHARACTERS

 

athena (she was in bl1 dlc as an assassin) BASICALLY THE TANK

wilhelm (hes a robit in bl2 (but hes not a robit yet !!)) BASICALLY THE BALANCED DUDE

nisha (cowdoody sheriff from lynchwood in bl2) BASICALLY THE DPS

[Ataraxis]

I like the looks of the roster and the general nature of their characters. I like that Handsome Jack will be there. I like the moon and lasers and jumping high and ground slamming and freezing things.

I wants me some of that Nisha. I am still gonna have an Athena, but when I found out about the guntotin cowgirl I was pretty much sold.

[Harakiri Tiger]

I will be exclusively playing Athena, repeatedly. Probably the exact same build every time too, cuz I'm like that.

Athena

[Rachis]

After looking at the skill trees, I'm not sold on Nisha anymore. I haven't liked stack skills so far, except for anarchy, and Wilhelm seems to be more fun. I want to like Athena, but I don't know about the skills yet. I'm a lock on Steam if anyone goes that route. Edited September 25, 2014 by Rachis

[Harakiri Tiger]

BORDERLANDS THE PRESEQUEL REVIEW BY NOB AS NARRATED BY MISTER TORGUE CEO OF THE TORGUE CORPORATION!

 

TLDR GOOD GAME KINDA SHORT AND NOT WORTH FULL SIXTY DOLLARS UNLESS YOU REALLY REALLY REALLY LIKE BORDERLANDS I PUT THE TLDR FIRST BECAUSE HONESTLY WHO READS ANY OF THIS SHIT NERDS AND LONERS THATS WHO!

 

ALSO THIS REVIEW IRONICALLY LOOKS LIKE A LEGAL DOCUMENT TERMS OF SERVICE AGREEMENT OR SOMETHING!

 

GAME STORY IS SUPPOSED TO FILL IN THE GAPS BETWEEN BORDERLANDS 1 AND BORDERLANDS TWO BECAUSE HONESTLY HOW THE FUCK DID SHIT GO FROM INHABITABLE GARBAGE DUMP TO FLYING CITY OF HOBOS I DONT KNOW YOU GOTTA PLAY THE GAME TO FIND OUT! ITS ALL FOCUSED ON OUR MAIN ANTAGONIST IN BORDERLANDS TWO MISTER HANDSOME JACK WHO IN THIS GAME IS JUST NORMAL JACK UNTIL HE GETS ALL BUTTMAD WHICH MAKES HIM HANDSOME AND STUFF! YOU GET TO SEE OLD CHARACTERS LIKE LILITH AND ROLAND AND YOU GET TO PLAY AS BAD GUYS FROM THE NEW GAME THATS ACTUALLY THE OLD GAME SUCH AS THE SHERRIF THE ROBOT THE OTHER ROBOT AND SOME RANDOM NINJA LADY THATS ACTUALLY FROM THE OLD OLD GAME (DLC EXCLUSIVE)! RECURRING APPEARANCES ARE COOL AND STUFF BECAUSE YOURE LIKE HEY I KNOW THAT PERSON FROM THAT PLACE EVEN THOUGH THEYRE REALLY JUST SCRIPTED CODED DATA INSIDE OF YOUR GAME THAT MEAN NOTHING IN REALITY! YOU GET TO LEARN HOW AND WHY THEY CAME ABOUT IN BORDERLANDS TWO EVEN IF YOU FORGOT THEY EXISTED IN BORDERLANDS TWO! THEY DID A GOOD JOB OF REMINDING YOU ABOUT THINGS AND ITS INTERESTING TO LOOK INTO EVERYONES PAST BECAUSE YOU EVENTUALLY SHOOT THEM ALL ANYWAYS! YOU ALSO GET TO SEE MORE ALIENS WHICH MAGICALLY DISAPPEARED IN BORDERLANDS TWO EVEN THOUGH THEY WERE THE MAIN ATTRACTION TO THE PLOT OF BORDERLANDS ONE!

 

EVERYTHING TAKES PLACE ON THE MOON WHICH ACTUALLY TURNS OUT TO BE A BUNCH OF AUSTRALIANS WITH FISH BOWLS ON THEIR HEADS! THE CONSISTENT DIALOGUE ACCENTS ADD TO THE SENSE OF ENVIRONMENT AND ALL THAT GOOD STUFF BUT REALLY ITS GREAT BECAUSE AUSTRALIANS SOUND FUNNY AND THE MOON IS THE PERFECT ENVIRONMENT FOR PEOPLE WHO SPEND THEIR LIVES LIVING UPSIDE DOWN! THE WHOLE GAME WILL TAKE YOU ABOUT TWENTY-FIVE HOURS TO BEAT ON YOUR FIRST PLAYTHROUGH WHICH INCLUDES ALL THE MAIN QUESTS AND SIDEQUESTS SO ITS FAIRLY SHORT! THE SIDEQUESTS IN MY OPINION ARE EVEN STRONGER THAN THE MAIN STORY BECAUSE THE CHARACTERS ARE HILARIOUS IN THEIR REFERENCES AND PERSONALITIES EVEN THOUGH THEY ARENT SIGNIFICANT IN ANY WAY OTHER THAN GIVING YOU MONEY TO BUY RANDOM STUFF! I FOUND MYSELF WANTING REPLAY THE SIDEQUESTS EVEN THOUGH THEYRE MOSTLY A WASTE OF TIME!

 

LOTS OF THE NEW CHARACTERS ARE COOL AND I FOUND MYSELF SYMPATHIZING WITH MORE THAN ONE OF THEM WHICH IS NOT LIKELY TO HAPPEN IN A GAME SUCH AS BORDERLANDS BECAUSE EVERYONE IS AN UNREASONABLY HEARTLESS PSYCHOPATH! SOME OF THE CHARACTERS GET FORGOTTEN OR LOSE FUNCTION AS THE STORY PROGRESSES WHICH MAKES YOU WONDER WHY THEY WERE ADDED IN THE FIRST PLACE!

 

AS FAR AS JACKS PROGRESSION AS A CHARACTER I WONT SPOIL THINGS BUT I FOUND IT TO BE SLIGHTLY UNREALISTIC AND THE THINGS THAT HAPPENED DID NOT HAVE TO HAPPEN BUT THEY DID ANYWAYS SO THERES SOME SHAKY PLOT INVOLVED NOT IN TERMS OF CONSISTENCY BUT IN ITS APPLICATION AND TIMING! ITS ALMOST AS IF HIS PERSONALITY IS SO FICKLE HE CHANGES FOR THE WORST EVERY TIME ANYTHING BAD HAPPENS UP TO A CERTAIN POINT AND THEN YOU KINDA FEEL FOR THE GUY!

 

THE PROGRESSION PACING IS KINDA MISERABLY SLOW IN THE BEGINNING BECAUSE YOU CANNOT VROOM VROOM IN OVER HALF OF THE MAPS IN THE GAME EVEN IF THEY ARE THE SAME SIZE AS THE ONES THAT HAVE VEHICLES! ITS A LONG WAY TO THE TOP IF YOU WANNA PLAY THE GODDAMN GAME AND SHOOT SPACE BANDITS! THANKFULLY NEW ADDED MECHANICS LIKE FLOATYJUMP AND BOOSTPADS HELP ALLEVIATE THIS BECAUSE IT LETS YOU GET AROUND FASTER THAN RUNNING EVERYWHERE! REALLY THOUGH A LOT OF THE MAPS NEED VEHICLES AVAILABLE BUT THEY DONT HAVE THEM AVAILABLE! THIS COULD BE SEEN AS A GOOD THING SINCE IT FORCES YOU TO ABSORB THE ENVIRONMENT IN WHICH YOU ARE IN INSTEAD OF BLAZING THROUGH EVERYTHING LIKE SOME SHITTY TWITCH SPEEDRUNNER! BEYOND THIS THOUGH THE STORY BEGINS TO PICK UP AS YOU GET DEEPER INTO IT AND IT COMES TO A POINT TO WHERE THERES A LOT OF STUFF HAPPENING AND YOURE ALL LIKE SLOOOOOOOOOOOOW DOOOOOOOOOWN BUT THEN IT KEEPS GOING AND ALL OF A SUDDEN YOUVE BEATEN THE GAME!

 

MAPS ARE UNFORTUNATELY RESTRICTED BY THE FACT THAT EVERYTHING IS ON THE MOON AND A LOT OF THE TIME YOU ARE LIKE THIS AREA IS THE MOON AND THE NEXT AREA IS THE MOON AND EVERYWHERE IS THE MOON AND OH LOOK THE INSIDE OF A SPACE SHIP AND LOOK ANOTHER SPACE SHIP! THE WHOLE GAME ENVIRONMENT IS SPACE SHIP OR MOON WITH VARIATIONS TO EACH BUT DESPITE THIS THEY MANAGE TO ADD SOME SORT OF ELEMENT TO THE GAME TO MAKE THEM LOOK DIFFERENT FROM EACH OTHER AND NOT COMPLETELY BORING TO PLAY THROUGH! THE LAST FEW LEVELS IN THE GAME ARE ALSO PROBABLY THE COOLEST ENVIRONMENTS THAT IVE EVER SEEN IN A BORDERLANDS GAME TO DATE AND ARE REALLY NEAT!

 

THE NEW ADDED MECHANICS ARE SPACE JUMP AND SPACE SLAM AND O2 KITS AND OXYGEN (OR LACK THEREOF) AND JUMP PADS AND LASERS AND FREEZE ELEMENT WHICH FREEZES THINGS LIKE MISTER FREEZE FROM BATMAN! ALL OF THESE THINGS ARE INCREDIBLY FUN AND THE CHARACTERS SKILL TREES COMPLEMENT THESE NEW MECHANICS TO MAKE YOU WANT TO USE THEM EVEN MORE THAN YOU WANTED TO BEFORE! FLYING FIFTY FEET IN THE AIR WHILE SHOOTING LASERS AND THEN SHATTERING A DUDE INTO ICE CUBES WITH A GROUND POUND IS AS SATISFYING AS YOU THINK IT IS! BIGGEST GRIPE IS WITH THE OXYGEN RESOURCE AS YOU ALMOST NEVER RUN OUT OF OXYGEN AND WHEN YOU DO YOU ONLY TAKE A VERY SLIGHT AMOUNT OF HEALTH DAMAGE PER SECOND WHICH BASICALLY MEANS YOU NEVER EVER DIE BECAUSE YOU RAN OUT OF OXYGEN! ITS KIND OF A USELESS MECHANIC THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN MORE HARDCORE AND STUFF BUT INSTEAD IT WAS TURNED INTO CASUAL FRIDAYS! OTHER THAN THAT THE GAME PLAYS JUST LIKE BORDERLANDS TWO! OH AND DID I MENTION THEY ADDED A WEAPON RECYCLING MACHINE THAT LETS YOU TURN OLD GUNS INTO NEW AND BETTER GUNS BECAUSE THATS WHAT THEY DID AND ITS SUPER COOL BUT ALSO SOMEWHAT USELESS SINCE THE PRODUCT WEAPONS ITEM LEVEL IS DEPENDANT ON WHAT YOU PUT INTO THE MACHINE (AND MOST OF THE TIME YOURE PUTTING IN OLD WEAPONS) SO ITEM SCALING KINDA REDUCES ITS USEFULNESS UNTIL YOU REACH MAX LEVEL!

 

THE CHARACTER CLASS BALANCE IS ABSURDLY SHITTY BECAUSE YOU HAVE ONE CHARARACTER THATS OUTRIGHT BETTER THAN EVERYONE AND THEN YOU HAVE ANOTHER CHARACTER THAT IS EVEN BETTER THAN THE OVERPOWERED ONE WITH CERTAIN GEAR AND THEN ONE IS REALLY AVERAGE AND THE LAST ONE IS A PAIN IN THE ASS TO HAVE IN YOUR PARTY BECAUSE HE TURNS YOU INTO A RUBBER DUCKY! ONE THING THATS COOL IS THAT THEY REWORKED HOW THE SKILL TREES WORK SO THAT YOU CAN MAX TWO SKILL TREES AND OVERALL YOU HAVE ACCESS TO AT LEAST THREE MINI CAPSTONES AND THREE REAL CAPSTONES WHICH MEANS EACH CHARACTER GETS MORE UNIQUE SKILLS THAN EVER BEFORE! EACH CHARACTER HAS A TREE THAT MAKES THEM PLAY COMPLETELY DIFFERENTLY THAN THEY WOULD IF THEY HAD NEVER TAKEN ANY OF THE SKILLS BECAUSE OF HOW THEIR STACKS OR DAMAGE BONUSES WORK WHICH MAKES THESE TREES EITHER SUPER FUN OR SUPER USELESS OR BOTH!

 

THE LOOT IN THIS GAME IS SORT OF A WATERED DOWN VERSION OF WHAT WAS IN BORDERLANDS TWO BECAUSE I GUESS THE DEVELOPERS WERE LIKE OH SHIT WE MADE TOO MUCH BROKEN SHIT IN THIS GAME SO NOW IS THE TIME TO GET RID OF A LOT OF IT! EXCEPT THEY FORGOT ABOUT SOME STUFF AND NOW THE ORANGE AND UNIQUE ITEMS ARE EITHER SUPER BROKEN OR THEYRE ABOVE AVERAGE! ALSO A LOT OF THE BLUE UNIQUE WEAPONS ARE MORE POWERFUL OR FUN OR LEGITIMATELY UNIQUE COMPARED TO A LOT OF THE ORANGE WEAPONS IN THE BASE GAME! AT LEAST LASERS ARE A REALLY COOL ADDITION TO THE GAME BECAUSE BEFORE THEY WERE JUST SHITTY E-TECH VARIANTS BUT NOW THAT THEY HAVE THEIR OWN CLASS AND AMMO COUNT THEY FILL IN ELEMENTAL ROLES OF EITHER SMGS SHOTGUNS OR SNIPERS!

 

I DONT KNOW IF I FORGOT ABOUT ANYTHING ELSE THAT I SHOULD MENTION BUT THIS GAME WAS PRETTY GOOD EVEN IF IT WAS SHORT I WOULD DEFINITELY RECOMMEND TO ANY BORDERLANDS FANS AND ID REASONABLY PAY LIKE THIRTY TO FORTY DOLLARS FOR THIS GAME BUT SIXTY IS A BIT EXPENSIVE FOR WHAT THIS GAME IS! ALSO THIS WAS REALLY HARD TO WRITE AND PROOF READ IN TORGUE VISION SO I PROBABLY DIDNT ADD OR SUBTRACT THINGS THAT I NORMALLY WOULD HAVE!

[Ataraxis]

Good review. Personally I think 25 hours is a solid and comfortable amount of time for a lot of games.

[Not-Hunter]

I PUT THE TLDR FIRST BECAUSE HONESTLY WHO READS ANY OF THIS SHIT NERDS AND LONERS THATS WHO!

Check, and check, pff.

 

Good to hear something, though.
