It's true, the writing is really unfunny in that special 360-era way. The gunplay isn't particularly satisfying either, and they all feel too similar to each other. It and its predecessor popularized one of the most lifeless AAA genres, though at least this one has the novelty of actually showering you with a bazillion guns instead of just like, a reasonable amount.
But with the right friend(s) and some pizza... it's a good time. Also Gaige is cute, at least in Japanese fanart.

First of all: better than borderlands 1, B1 was an alpha of this one
Jokes are better, mechanics, story, characters, cutscenes, bossfights, etc. Everything is better! I get the "I think it's edgy" vibe, but It's a stupid humour that I like and with friends is way better.
Good one 👍🏼

Amazing game and it still holds up well in 2024!
Contrary to popular opinion, I like the first Borderlands game better, although I can see why most consider this one to be the best in the series. Much more interesting story (and, obviously, villain), a lot more creative and colorful environments, tighter gameplay, lots of improvements over the first game. For me, personally, I just like the aesthetic and vibe of Borderlands 1 better, and think that the main 4 playable characters are better, too (evidenced by the fact that the original 4 are the only ones that really stick around, minus Roland). I'm not gonna be a revisionist and say this game was never funny, but the specific brand of Borderlands comedy does feel a bit forced at times in this game, too. But, a lot of these points I have are just personal preference. The game is great, and it only goes downhill from here for Borderlands.
This is the looter-shooter all other looter-shooters want to be. The combinations of all its factors form to make a gameplay loop that really never makes me feel like I need to "grind" to acquire better loot before I progress in quests. Highly-stylized cel-shading gives everything a distinct look and interesting characters help enlighten the experience. Very-much recommended for any shooter fan to play through atleast once.
Great story but the endgame is such a grind ugh
Still my favourite looter shooter to this day. I replay it almost every new year with a new file. Just love everything about this game
Even more fun :D
I'm ngl I barely played the game much but I don't remember much about it, I just recall thinking it was a solid sequel so I'll leave it at that ig
Don't play the vita version.
Humor and writing is pretty dated by this point, and the gunplay feels awful by todays standards, but it's still one of the better action rpg loot fests.
Obra prima, mas demorado pra upar
If you're interested in this game, just make sure you're not a lonely fuck like me, cause it's kinda multiplayer required, unless you wanna have the most average singleplayer experience.
Un juego muy divertido para jugar solo o con amigos.
Definitely my favorite of the series. I come from a biased standpoint as I got super attached to Zer0 in the game and loved the story in this. Handsome Jack was a splendid villain and has still stuck with me after all these years.
first singleplayer game that i went back to beat MULTIPLE times
Multiplayer dele Ă© bom!mas falta uma legenda
non mi ero ancora imbattuto nell'espressione "looter shooter"
best looter shooter and a ton of replayability
A high point for the series, which took everything the first game did well and did it better. Even more fun playing with friends and this time with a high degree of replayability - I beat the campaign multiple times.
Esse jogo existe e até então é decente. "Nesse jogo eu consigo jogar de support /10"
I'm not a huge fan of FPS but due to a friend getting me hooked and loving the ability to have special siren powers so I could just lock someone from a distance and snipe their ass. It tries a bit hard to be quippy which can get cringe sometimes but also can do some meaningful moments like how a little girl works through the trauma of a lost friend through a D&D knockoff
One of my favs shooters of all time, the world is fantastic
the guns in this game are creative and fun to use
the main antagonist is one of the best villains in gaming history and all the dlc's are worth and fun

This the Chicago Grimm reaper
genuinely the best looter shooter of all time, including one of the most fun narratives in videogame history (regrettably written by anthony burch)
play time averaged at 600hrs between platforms

hasn't aged well but still a great shooter with cool art and a fun style
Joguei primeiramente quando criança no Xbox 360, depois comprei na steam e engoli o jogo.
Humor ácido e design único, que me agrada muito.

Quando eu escutei: "This ain't no place for no hero,
This ain't no place for no better man..."
Até o cabelo do meu saco arrepiou. Jogaço da porra em todos os quesitos (melhor mapa, melhor vião, melhor história, melhor gameplay, melhores armas, o melhor bordelands).

this game's "personality" makes my skin crawl like no other. my friends love it, the general public loves it, and I have accepted that it is completely a me thing, but all the same this game is boring, humorless, and... if I may be so bold... pretentious. Truly, the scorn of Poker Night 2
My previous assessment of this game’s writing still holds up. Seemingly based on a middle-schooler's idea of what's cool and funny, Borderlands 2 is a cringey, deeply embarrassing time capsule of my tastes at age 13. It's not all bad, it made me crack a smile once or twice, but it definitely misses more than it hits. Every time they say the word “badass” in this game I can see those fucking sunglasses in my mind’s eye.
It's a joy to play, though. This is the only looter shooter I could ever get into, where each drop is so radically different from whatever you're currently using that you’ll never get bored. Every weapon in this game looks and functions like a child's drawing of a firearm, and I mean this as a compliment. These delightful cartoon guns are mixed with a handful of interesting skill trees and a variety of enemy types to make for some pretty damn fun combat. The bones of this game are solid enough that I can forgive the unlistenable dialogue.
