Silly fun with friends. Gun go pow. Barrel go boom. Claptrap go brrr.
la peor cosa que existe
I have attempted to finish borderlands 2 twice now, and even though I adore the story, characters and gameplay, I haven't been able to finish it. I do think that borderlands 2 is a very well made game, with great gameplay and a very good story, but It's not for me, and I think it's gonna stay that way.
So you want to hear a review, eh? Well you are in luck because this one will be a lengthy one for sure!
Borderlands 2 is probably one of the most beloved games ever created and with a good reason. Insane amount of loot, great classes to choose from, decent skills, a beautiful art style and tons of creative scenarios will makes sure that you have a great time on Pandora. This was my sixth playthrough, and I was pretty excited to experience this whole package again, and while I found some things that annoyed me, overall, this is still a stellar game to play.
I enjoyed the chaotic writing, the jokes and the overall insane amount of content and creativity that went into creating absurd side missions and jokes. What I did not like is the fact that with this amount of side content, you need to choose after some hours in what you want to do. You focus on the side quests or do the story missions, because the story is very tight, and if you stop to do some side stuff between missions, it can quickly lose it's momentum. On the other hand, if you do not level yourself up, the game can really make you suffer, as your level will be way lower than what you need to catch up with the story.
The other bigger negative aspect is the gun variety, as the game sometimes does not offer loot that is satisfying, instead it throws in a bunch of shield and grenades as a filler. The weapons themselves are cool but they are lacking creativity even with the elemental stuff (Borderlands 3 improved this).
The writing can be hit-or-miss but it is mostly enjoyable and I found most of the jokes still funny, even though some were brutally dated even for it's own time. Characters from the previous entry provide very good dialogue though, so even if you do not vibe with the game, you will probably appreciate how well the writers implemented the previous cast into the game.
As for the new characters, I like almost all of them except for Salvador. He is fine, I just do not like his playstyle with the dual wielding. Axton and Gaige are probably my favorite, but I really like Maya and Zero as well. I weirdly never played with Krieg before. I recommend Axton and Gaige for solo plays and after getting familiar with the game, any class is okay to start with. Axton's turret can be a lifesaver, and Gaige's robot can tank everything for you if you use it right, so they both can be insanely OP.
And what about the DLCs? Well...
Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty:
A very decent new zone with lots of sand and a pirate theme. I really love Shade and his design, as he was obviously inspired by the character of Johnny Depp from Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The bosses are okay and the overall DLC is very creative with the pirate stuff, I just wish the later missions weren't so boring, as the game tries to pan out them in order to make the experience longer (looking at you Herbert). Overall, fun DLC that is a little bit annoying in the end.
Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage:
Insanely fun DLC with Torgue's over the top performance that makes up for all of the things this DLC lacks. I do not want to spoil anything from it, because it has some very good writing, so you just better check this one out.
Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt:
The Big Game Hunt is the most hated one from the bunch and I can see why, even I hated parts from it and found some designs questionable but I liked what this one is going for with the old fashioned adventure movie vibe and the main bad guy. It is quite short, you can have some fun with it but you can skip it.
Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep:
The star of the show, the DLC that everyone loves for how creative it is with it's fantasy setting. To be honest, I loved this one too but I found the writing of Tina a bit too much for me. I did not like some parts of the campaign because of this, as it made me realize that I liked her way more in Tiny Tina's Wonderlands, as her sadness and grief were portrayed much better there. Overall, this one is the best of them all, and I highly recommend checking it out.

Amazing best one by far best with friends
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.

spent as much of my life in this game as I did in Skyrim
- 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

My favorite game of all time. This is including all of the DLCs. Amazing story, one of the best villians ever, gameplay loop is also really fun.
Pretty solid shooter game with good writing and a great art style.
PERFEITO SEM DEFEITOS.
I played enough of this game that I feel like I got my money's worth. Probably a lot more fun with friends. The gunplay is alright but samey and the writing runs the gauntlet from surprisingly fun to tone deaf and weird.
Yeah this was kinda funny
Um Looter Shooter de respeito e com muita personalidade,
By the way eu conheci uma das minhas bandas favoritas por conta desse Jogo, escutem The Heavy e Short Change Hero é Fodastico.

DIVERTIDO PRA CARALHO
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.
Easily one of the best looter shooters I've ever played. There may have been better games that have come out more recently, but there is something cozy about this game in particular. The humor isn't for everyone and it certainly can get a bit repetitive, but for its time it was a revolutionary game, and also still the best in the franchise in my opinion.
This game is the best borderlands game and is secretly one of my favourite game, I love everything about this game, from the environment to the random bosses, and sitting on top of all those good things is Handsome jack, easily my favourite villain in games and fiction, truly terrifying and funny, its a masterpiece, go play it.
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.
Might genuinely have the best voice acting I have ever seen in a video game
My thoughts won't be sumarised here refer to my profile for my thoughts on the dlc's and base game this is to simply document log times for my playthrough on PS3 so my opinions will be the same between both versions.
Bought this with B1: Pre-Sequel in a deal. Couldn't really play them because it made me so nauseous and motion sick. Oh Lord did I feel like a churning boat upon the sea. For five minutes of gunplay, I suffered an uneasy malaise for nearly an hour. I cannot provide a star rating for this reason. Maybe it's fine if you're not motion sick.
I spent too much time on this game.
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

Perfect 4-player co-op game with rewarding loot and character leveling trees along with an awesome world plus DLC that leaves so much replayability.
I've beat the main storyline three times but still have yet to play all the DLC because of how much content there is.

Just a personal fav and i'm really biased
ok game krieg made it better(wont touch it again)
Completed original game on PS3 as well. Updated shooting mechanics, better story and more color than just desert brown, it's an upgrade and the better game in the series overall. One of my favourites.
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.
so awesome and handsome jack is one of the greatest antagonists period.
