It's sometimes a little tough doing a follow-up in this day and age. especially when following up on previous success. do something differentIt's sometimes a little tough doing a follow-up in this day and age. especially when following up on previous success. do something different which doesn't catch on: you'll get pilloried for 'changing a winning' formula and breaking what was not broken - do it the same way: you'll get flamed for 'churning out the same thing', 'rehashing' and cash-grabbing.

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel - tries to straddle that thin line between the two.

The game-play and mechanics have not been changed too much. Four new (kinda) characters with (some)what different skills. The same loot-hunting and over-the-top dialogue, action and story. Fans of 1 and 2 may like (perhaps) several scenes where the game shows-cases former characters; and a different perspective on Jack.

As for the new: the low-gravity feature sometimes comes as more of a hindrance than any real fun. While the premise is sound, the maps/environment aren't as well designed as to allow for more of this feature to really shine. Imagine being able to bound from one point of cover to the next; or from cover to an overhead sniping position. The possibilities are endless but unfortunately, very limited in the game, which usually amounts to jumping around and shooting enemies at your feet/slamming them.

Pacing and plodding around (especially in the first map and before you get your vehicle) isn't great. There is a whole lot of running around (in relative drab scenery) with little to do and few enemies.

By and large, a decent game. But not really worth the full retail price right now. It does feel a little like a DLC rather than a stand-alone.… Expand

I feel distraught after beating this game.

There is a large amount of reused borderlands 2 assets in here, and it's difficult to see how this is worth a full 60 dollars.
The combat rapidly becomes tedius in low gravity especially when trying to collect ammo or gather loot.
Lots of bugs at the moment everything from quest items to inventory management.
The story is good enough to hold up as far as consistency, but oh my god the humor in this game is awful. The jokes feel very forced and for the vast majority of it i was not laughing.
I am glad i beat this game so i understand the events that transpired, but it felt more like a chore then something i should be enjoying in my free time and towards the end i was skipping entire packs of mobs to run to the teleporter out of sheer disinterest.

At the end i'm left with the questions, "what was missing in this game? what went wrong?" because after it all i did not receive the same delight i've come to expect from it's predecessors.… Expand

Being a veteran BL fan (I put nearly 500 hours into BL2 alone), I can say that I was wholly disappointed with this title.

First, the humor.Being a veteran BL fan (I put nearly 500 hours into BL2 alone), I can say that I was wholly disappointed with this title.

First, the humor. It was dry, bland, and it felt like it was written by Australians, for Australians. Doesn't 2K Australia understand that people from all around the world are buying this game and might not get Aussie humor? The accents grated on my nerves a little bit, but it got better as you went along.

The character depth just wasn't there, plus characters from BL 1 and 2 were reused with about 25% of their personalities we all know and love intact. The seemingly arbitrary homosexual references really pissed me off. Not that I have anything against LGBT people, but I find it very insulting that the writers had to shoehorn another gay character in there and wave it in my face. I mean, Springs, which I think was one of the few more charming characters, had several dialogue sequences in which the main subject being that she was a lesbian. Great, you're a woman that likes other women. So what? I couldn't care less. If a character's defining trait is their sexual orientation, then you're a horrible writer.

The lack of extra content was astounding. I bought the season pass, thinking that the game would redeem itself with a DLC gem. I was mistaken. The first DLC that queued in my Steam download tab was another arena map. There was already an arena map in the main game and then you make a DLC that is just another one? Boring, absolutely boring.

I didn't have a big problem with the maps, because what do you really expect? It was on a moon, you can't really get too creative with that.

The length of the story is hard to gauge because I'm the type that completes all available side quests before moving on with the main story. I think it took me maybe 20 hours to complete the entire game and 90%+ of the side quests.

Buy it on sale if you absolutely have to try it. I uninstalled it and haven't looked back.… Expand

Apart from the technical issues, i just hated the constant jumping challenges, i don't enjoy the gravity and the lack of oxygen makes me nervous to the point i can't chill and enjoy the scenery...
Such an awesome story and i can't enjoy it it's a pity, totally hated it.… Expand
