Gameplay is not aged well but the rest is awesome.

This game is a true Co-op Multiplayer Game! This is awesome with friends, but can also be enjoyed solo if you wish. Awesome game that i love

The gameplay is excellent, the worldbuilding/art style is spectacular but everything about this game is too nihilistic for me to truly enjoy it. I think there's a lot to appreciate from a technical and stylistic perspective, but personally I despise the grungy atmosphere and disgusting implications of Pandora and its denizens.

A falta de amigos pra jogar esse jogo é o grande motivo de eu nunca ter zerado ele, desde que zerei L4D2 cheguei a essa conclusão, impossível jogar um jogo desse sozinho, não é a mesma coisa, são jogos diferentes e esse jogo quando é jogado sozinho não é o mesmo jogo de jogar com amigos, nenhum jogo do gênero é a mesma coisa quando jogo Single e Multi.

One of the best shooty tooty bang bang games i've ever played.


Bought it on console when it came out -- found the writing unfunny and horribly irritating, the voice acting and visual design merely abrasive when it didn't slide all the way into being directly unpleasant, the reward mechanics unengaging, and the gunplay mildly diverting but not particularly special. Bought it on PC years later at a huge discount, and discovered to my astonishment that I liked the gunplay a little better on PC.

Looter Shooter masterpiece. Fantastic writing and style, great gameplay with big funny numbers.

I really liked how this game has different characters with different builds. Very fun guns, very satisfying to get the loot that you want. What I don't like though is uvhm. Feels very unbalanced and it forces you to use the slag mechanic 90% of the time and it makes it so that you can't be as flexible with your loadouts

Handsome Jack is an amazing villain and this is an amazing co-op game. Very fun.

One of my favorites ever.
A FPS with a diablo-like loot system, you shoot bad guys in the face with randomly generated weapons until they die so they drop shinier loot to kill bad guys faster. Simple enough but if we also get 6 playable characters with different builds to choose from that affect your playstyle make the game feel varied enough for a lot of playthroughs (I'm already at 16 and still counting). The only downside is that the guns often feel like airsoft guns, as in lacking impact and power, but that can be easily overlooked.
The world is also great, the sidequests span from challenging semibosses to random errands to stuff like "Shoot this guy in the face" which offers a lot of variety. You can also explore the areas and find something in almost every corner, most likely a hidden special enemy that can drop a legendary weapon. Speaking of legendary weapons, the loot system and the drop ratio make the perfect combination to make that finding that orange stick among all the other junk that a boss can drop oh, SO satisfying.
The humor is right on point, the references are great and the characters are charismatic as fuck, specially the main villain, one of the best of the generation.
The game overall overflows with personality to make it feel truly a unique experience. Lastly, the stoy surprised me a lot, it's not gonna blow your mind or anything but it's a lot better than most shooters, actually good.
Also this version includes all the DLCs and expansions that add a lot of layers to deepen even more the endgame, you can sink maybe 100h until you max out and optimize a character's build.

- Can't track more than one quest at a time.
- The map, and especially the inventory system, are horrible on PC. Might be better with a controller.
- You drive vehicles a lot. The vehicles are very floaty, and light. You turn by moving the camera where you want to go, which sucks, but it's also on a delay. You'll get stuck and drive off into walls and off ledges a lot.
- Lots of backtracking and spending ages just running back and forth across levels with enemies way below you.
- Terrible writing and annoying characters. Even if you like it and the cringe humour, you won't get to experience it. It's barely audible over the shooting, and is constantly interrupted.

Almost a perfect sequel. I'm very, very late to the party with Borderlands having only bought the first game as well as The Handsome Collection a couple of years back (for a ridiculously low price), and it subsequently gathered dust on the shelf (metaphorically, nearly all digital now!). Having found the first Borderlands pretty good but very, very samey and overly long, I wasn't massively keen to start this and it became a proper 'list of shame' title.

Well I should have started it much sooner, because it's great. The unforgiving landscapes of Pandora from the first game make a return, but thankfully the scenery is much more varied, always making use of the gorgeous art style. Optimised for the new consoles, it looks stunning - hard to believe it's a 360 game..Other improvements include the NPCs, the story, the weapon variety and - most importantly - the gameplay. It's a wonderfully entertaining romp, it's funny, it's violent, it's chaotic. I got so much more from talking to other characters who play a far bigger role, and some of the side missions are just as fun as the main campaign ones.

In fact, I genuinely can't think of a single area where Borderlands 2 DOESN'T improve on the original. A few niggling issues remain - more on those in a moment - but everything I enjoyed in the first game is ramped up several notches more, it looks, sounds, feels and plays better.

But it's not without it's issues - hardly stinging criticism of a game that's more than a decade old now, that's progress. Some of the missions require a lot of backtracking back to a fast travel station in order to complete them which is a proper pain - I must have lost several hours just walking back across familiar terrain just to turn in an objective. Also, the inventory system is better than in B1, but still rather cumbersome. I'm not sure what the answer is to this, because the looting and amazing variation in weapons is such a key part of the whole series. There's just so much of it!

Also worth pointing out how amazingly good value The Handsome Collection is. As well as this, it also includes The pre-sequel game and ALL the DLC for both titles. And it cost me about £10 in a sale. It took me around 35 hours to see the credits roll, and I've not touched the DLC or the pre-sequel. Not bad for a tenner.

Important to note that I played the entirety of this in single player. In fact, I'm yet to experience anything Borderlands in multiplayer where I'm sure it's even better. But even as a single player experience, this is a quality game that was a lot of fun to play through.

On to Borderlands 3 once I've cleared a few more titles from my backlog. Maybe I'll find a friend to play that with me?

Pretty solid collection of Borderlands 2 and its story and character DLCs in one package. Not included are the Headhunter packs, which are mostly non-canon side stories. For the PS3 version, the DLC all comes on one disc, which can be installed from the PS3 main menu.

- Builds on the first game, feels more up-to-date
- Tighter controls, more to do & more zany characters and locations
- All the DLC was great, no DLC as bad as the Moxxi DLC in Borderlands
- So many guns & variations, it encouraged me to test & try different types
- Has a bitter feel somewhat as I played it on PC back in the day, and lost a day or two of progress which made me very much lose interest
- Went back to it years later, started from scratch and finally completed it

Borderlands 2, hoje já considerado um clássico da antiga geração, é extremamente marcante pela sua escolha de designer. Ele aprimora muito do que nos foi apresentado em Borderlands 1 — ainda se mantendo fiel ao jogo anterior — e aqui nos trás uma continuação da história do universo do jogo, contando a história dos quatros (ou seis com as DLCs) Vault Hunters já apresentados antes, permitindo o jogador se colocar no papel e um deles.

Borderlands 2 brilha na sua jogabilidade incrivelmente divertida, que se atinge seu auge ao jogar com alguns amigos. Embora o jogo também possa ser aproveitado sozinho, se você é um fã da franquia.

O sistema de armas e grind que o jogo possuí, consegue te prender durante horas em busca de um set perfeito, tudo isso enquanto aproveita a incrível trilha sonora que o jogo possuí.
Borderlands 2 é sem dúvidas um prato cheio para quem busca um jogo mundo aberto centrado no first-person — loot — shooter.

Ai-je vraiment besoin de préciser que ce second opus est meilleur en tout point que le premier Borderlands ? J’avais des attentes énormes après avoir fini le premier épisode qui était très bon mais qui souffrait de répétitivité autant dans les décors que dans le gameplay. J’ai placé beaucoup d’espoir dans ce second opus en espérant qu’il corrige les défauts majeurs du premier

Eh bah bordel, je dois bien l’avouer: Je ne suis pas déçu, le jeu est allé au delà de mes espérances. Il a corrigé le plus grand reproche que je fais à Borderlands premier du nom, c’est à dire la diversité des zones. Fini les déserts pendant les 9/10 du jeu, place à la diversité avec des zones enneigées, des volcans, des plaines d’eridium, des montagnes verdoyantes avec des panoramas à couper le souffle et aussi quelques déserts qui rappelleront forcément les décors du premier épisode. Mais franchement, je peux pas décrire à quel point j’ai aimé la diversité dans ce jeu. Et le pire dans tout ça c’est qu’il ne se contente pas de régler les problèmes du 1er, il va plus loin. L’ajout de l’éridium en tant que monnaie secondaire est un excellent ajout permettant d’améliorer le nombre de munitions ou d’objets que l’on peut porter sur nous et je dois dire que c’est une manière intelligente de progresser et d’améliorer notre personnage.

Les compétences des différents personnages sont toujours aussi agréables à utiliser et c’est ce qui fait vraiment la force de la série des Borderlands, avec une progression très agréable où on a vraiment l’impression de devenir plus fort à chaque montée de niveau.

En ce qui concerne le scénario, il est dans la continuité du scénario du 1, car il se situe plusieurs années après l’ouverture de l’arche du premier opus, qui a chamboulé pas mal de choses sur Pandore, et nous avons l’arrivée d’un antagoniste plus que charismatique: Le Beau Jack, avec son doublage français de qualité et sa personnalité unique que l’ont entendra tout le long du jeu. Encore une fois, grosse amélioration par rapport au 1 où il n’y avait pas vraiment d’antagoniste à proprement parlé, c’était plus une sorte d’organisation contre laquelle on se battait. Mais dans celui-là c’est complètement différent, on a un réel ennemi, et le scénario est vraiment prenant de bout en bout malgré le côté très second degré du jeu.

Il y a cependant une petite chose qui me chiffonne, c’est l’optimisation sur Switch qui n’est hélas pas aussi bonne que le portage du premier opus. Certes, le jeu est bien + joli et coloré, mais lorsqu’il y a de nombreuses explosions (ce qui arrive souvent si vous possédez un fusil à pompe explosif par exemple) le jeu a des micro freezes qui ne gâche en rien l’expérience mais qui, tout de même, est assez embêtant. Le jeu est aussi bien plus difficile que le premier opus, notamment en ce qui concerne la mission principale où vous allez devoir faire beaucoup de quêtes annexes afin d’atteindre un niveau convenable pour continuer le scénario. Cela peut être très frustrant, mais heureusement les quêtes annexes sont toujours très agréables à faire.

Que faut-il donc retenir de tout ça ? Tout simplement, Borderlands 2 reprend tout ce qui a fait le charme du 1, en poussant toujours plus loin, toujours plus haut et toujours plus fort. Une DA toujours aussi bluffante, une diversité réelle que ce soit dans les décors ou les différentes façons de jouer, une fluidité très bonne malgré les freezes dans certaines situations comme mentionné plus haut. Si il y a bien un jeu que je vous recommande d’essayer, c’est bien celui-là (même si je conseillerais de faire le 1 en premier pour la continuité de l’histoire)

Tout en sachant que tout le jeu peut être fait en coop de A à Z, si vous cherchez un jeu fun en solo, et giga fun avec des amis, foncez.

Sur ce, je retourne sur le jeu pour faire ses DLC. Et dans plusieurs jours, il sera temps de finir cette trilogie Borderlands avec The Pre-Sequel, même si ça sera compliqué de faire mieux que celui-ci.

Amazing best one by far best with friends

honestly just a really fun game to play with your friends

Run around. Shoot some dudes. Have a few chuckles along the way. It certainly excels at what it is trying to do. Not much else to it than that.

After doing 2 playthroughs, I can say that this is a fantastic game. Great game play, interesting story, and hilarious characters, including one of my favorite fictional villains ever. I recommend playing it

When you complete a game marketed mainly as a co-op game in solo, three times, DLCs included, you know that game did something right. For me, the good thing was the hilariousness.

Borderlands 2 plays as few First-person shooter did in my life, because it tried to give its world and campaign the huge plot of a modern AAA video game but while retaining all the weird self-irony of retro shooters like Quake and Doom: the bad guy is planning to use an ancient power to conquer the world and make a huge profit out of it and, to prove how evil he is, he calls you over the phone and starts calling you names. Your reward for a quest is a, predictable but underwhelming, gun? Ok, sorry, how about we make it a gun which shoots swords? Still not enough? Fine, then a gun that shoots swords exploding on impact, and then split in multiple swords that again explode on impact. Are you not entertained yet?
When I started to die because my hands were trembling too much from laughter, Borderlands 2 became a great video game.

The plot and the characters are cliché and stupid, but they make fun of their own clichés and stupidity. They make jokes on the silent protagonist trope, which is you by the way, seemingly there is not a single thing important enough that the game won’t find some way to make fun of itself, and it never ceases even in the expansions, which might have even more quality content than the main game regarding the script writing.

Whilst, regarding the gameplay, you have an endless arsenal of colourful, powerful weapons to choose from. Shoots from the distance, shoots from decent range, shoots from point-blank for maximum blood and comedic effect, just remember to shoot and everything else will take care of itself, probably by cracking a joke after the fight. Enjoy yourself as you are obliterated by super Bosses that drop the ultimate loot, invincible guns with hilariously broken effects, and have fun getting nothing useful because the drop rates are atrocious. MMO-like loot systems are fun, aren’t they?

The game gets tiring after playing the same scenarios and killing the same monsters time and time again, yet for the time it will take you to reach that stage the ride is going to be absolutely worthy the ticket price.

Es increíble, la historia es increíble, los personajes son buenos, el Gameplay es atrapante y las misiones son una maravilla. Y eso claro sin hablar del maravilloso villano que es Jack el Guapo.

dw anthony burch I thought your joke was aight 😁

Huge step up from the original, nice as hell

I love this game. Aside from the very clear 2012 era juvenile humor, it holds up in every way. One of my favorite games, great looter-shooter. Please play it.


Started playing this game in maybe 2015 after I bought a loose ex-rental copy, played the shit out of it, loved it, thought it was wayyyy better than BL1.
Turns out that copy of the game was the wrong reigon to play DLC so I had to beg ma to buy the GOTY / season pass version on PSN when it was $20aud. From that point on it was all I played till maybe 2018 and I still play it occasionally.

There is so much SHIT to do, the art is good, the dificulty is tollerable and expects you to do SOME homework and the community always documents where to find shit and how. It lets you build characters how you want in any way you want. PS3 version ran like ass and conked out my whole ass PS3 at times tho.
I'll probably do another playthru soon.

man, what a game.
addicting gameplay, great story, fantastic characters, so many sidequests and DLCs and all of them are so good
yet the final boss had to be the most disappointing part of it, what a shame

9.5/10
fantastic game

Solid ass game.

didn't pay much attention to the story as I picked it up here and there, BUT. This game has some of the most fun gameplay I have played in a while and I am glad i returned to this. Fucking awesome shooting villains in the head, blowing the arms off the robots etc. combat = satisfying.
However, difficulty spikes were fucking dumb. The dumb bosses at the end werent really fun to beat because THEY WERE SO FUCKING STRONG (I was lvl 29 before going to the endgame). That's really the only thing about the game I disliked. This is a game everyone needs to playthrough once.
