Fun Fact: The current cuckold meme was actually popularized out of hatred for Borderlands 2's writing staff. In some nonsensical eceleb drama saga, one of the writers Anthony Burch was found out to be an open relationship, and because it was 4chan circa 2013, Burch caught a lot of hate for 1) being in an open relationship and 2) not getting as much out of the open relationship (i.e. sex) as his partner. Which then lead to several users of 4chan's videogame board to dig deep and find out various awful things that's happened to him in his life. Eventually this led to the phrase "At least you aren't Anthony Burch", which then got reduced to shaming him for being a (un?)willing cuckold, which then got reduced to calling anyone who "tricks" themselves into being passive a cuck. (Like with most memes, the actual definition of a cuckold is not really the point here)

An excellent looter shooter with a killer and humorous plot.
Well-developed, interesting - open world
Good plot, a large number of additional missions, DLC will keep you busy for dozens of hours
Also original graphic style, unforgettable characters and much more.
I highly recommend playing it with friends, you will simply experience more emotions and love the game even more.

Despite never playing the first one, I vividly remember being hyped for this, looking up trailers, the world, the different weapon manufacturers, the idea of my two favourite genres (at the time) merging, then on top of that the cel-shaded aesthetic and goofy sense of humour (which looking back might’ve been a bit cringelord, but being 14 at the time, I was the perfect age for it. Plus I’ll be honest, parts of this game still get a guilty chuckle out of me, Psychos reciting Hamlet still cracks my shit up). It was my main game for like two years, I had so much fun exploring the world, farming for loot, watching how the enemies interact with eachother, building characters, becoming this overpowered monster, plowing through legions of mobs, and the raid bosses. My favourite classes were the Siren, which I decked out with a set of elemental smgs, the Hellfire, the Bad Touch, a Plasma Caster, etc..and the Gunzerker, whom I built into pistols, pairing an Unkempt Harold with either a Rubi or a Lady Fist so I could heal up and melt raid bosses’ health bars away in no time. I loved the easter eggs too, all the references to Minecraft, Lord of the Rings, Batman, Dark Souls, Se7en, etc. The dlcs were also pretty great, The Captain Scarlett and Tiny Tina dlcs were the standouts, but even the Torgue dlc I had a lot of fun with. I didn’t play the Commander Lilith dlc but it was still cool of them to add that so long after we all thought the game’s lifecycle had concluded.

My only real problem with the game was the Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode. Enemies become ludicrously health spongey, slag becomes a crutch and you’re constricted to top of the line gear if you want any chance of keeping up. Despite that hiccup though, I’ve pumped so many hours into this game across multiple systems, it’s truly one of those landmark games for me.

I downloaded Borderlands 2 back in June of 2019 after it became one of that month's free PSN games, as I always heard that it was fun to play with friends. After noticing that it was in my backlog years later, I asked my friend if he wanted to go back and beat Borderlands 2 with me, but because 2K Games apparently hates it when two people want to play the same game on different consoles by making it a nightmare to set everything up, I decided to beat the game on my own. This process took well over a year, and that is entirely due to just how unfun Borderlands 2 was for me to play.

Before I go ahead with why I hated this game so much, I just want to address the whole sentiment that this game is more fun with multiple players, because you can apply that to pretty much every game ever made. Playing with friends is fun by default, regardless of what game it is, so me playing the game alone doesn't excuse how bad Borderlands 2 is. Anyway, I hated pretty much everything about this game that other people seemed to love, and one of these would be the gameplay loop itself. Wandering around empty areas and shooting endless amounts of bullet sponge enemies that take forever to kill made this game feel like a chore the whole way through, and the enemies themselves aren't placed with any sort of purpose or intricacy whatsoever. One of the main selling points of the Borderlands series is how no two weapons are the same, and while it is interesting to have your loadout constantly change throughout each playthrough, the dependence on RNG made almost every weapon that I earned feel obsolete when compared to what I had already found.

If the game was just unfun to play, then I would've just dismissed Borderlands 2 as a boring looter shooter, but what makes this game a complete disaster for me is its writing. No character in this game ever shuts up, and the game's sense of humor reeks of 2012 internet culture with how loud and obnoxious it is. When I wasn't bored by the gameplay, I was annoyed by the dialogue, and I couldn't stand hearing these characters constantly run their mouths before I had even reached the halfway mark. Not only that, but this constant barrage of annoying nonsense is used to tell a boring story that somehow expects you to care for its one-dimensional characters, which was flat out impossible for me to do because of how aggravating they all were. It doesn't help that this game is coated in an ugly artstyle that looks like a bad mishmash of Mad Max and a comic book that was written and illustrated by a 13 year old. I will admit that the music wasn't that bad, although that isn't to say that it wasn't generic. For me, Borderlands 2 was zero fun to play, and I don't think I ever want to play another game from this series ever again.

Take my review of this game as a note on the whole series.
The writing in these games is unbearable to the point where I would always play these games with the sound off while listening to my own music, and this is not something i say lightly as someone who thinks it's important to experience games in all of their facets. I have played these games a lot, but now I'd like to think my brain has healed enough to where the "number go up" form of game design just isn't doing it for me anymore without anything else substantive backing it up and I can finally put this series to rest. So with that being said, fuck Borderlands I am extremely over it.
