Today’s game is Borderlands the Pre-Sequel. Me and a Friend are getting ready for something tomorrow. So we were low on time. We ended up playing some Borderland to save on time. I played claptrap. I don’t have much of a story this time due to just not playing very long, so instead I’ll talk about the game.

I can see why this game was so well received back in the day. A lot of the humor still stands up well, at least imo, and the gameplay cycle is fun. One of the guns I had I could throw when I reload and they explode which is incredibly satisfying to do. On top of that Claptraps special perk is fun, especially when it irritates the people I’m playing with, such as one that makes them continuously fire according to my friend. Overall I had a lot of fun just playing around in the game with my friend and doing some side quests.

Yay, borderlands! I think it's been my favourite franchise for a solid decade now and Borderlands 2 certainly swallowed a huge portion of my life and honestly still does to some degree.

The series has had some gems and some less than great content but the gameplay loop has always been very satisfying!

I’m excited to get into Borderlands 2 once I finally beat Pre-Sequel. I’ve heard that 2 is considered an improvement over the Pre-Sequel

[–] Psymonkee 3 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Very much so. Pre sequel came out after 2 though which is a tad confusing but I look forward to your impressions!

Hopefully one day I’ll be able to get to 2. Pre sequel I only play with my friend and it takes backseat a lot. Maybe after my Alan Wake 1-2 play through I’ll buckle down and play through Pre-Sequel with him
