Borderlands 2: The Video Gaming Experience is a slightly acquired taste - but there is an undeniable flow here once you figure it out. With the Diablo influence finally finding its feet, the game walks the line between Zany and Serious in both its combat and narrative in a way thats riveting and compelling. The sad truth is: Gearbox will probably never write a character as good as Handsome Jack (or most of the cast) ever again.

In fact (hot take) it was probably essential that Borderlands 2 was written with a largely comedic lean, because the unserious attitude helps you feel less seriously about the games cheap feeling gameplay. The games looter-churn means youll be obligated to use guns that suck in a game where the shooting already kind of sucks, the artstyle is pretty but also very poorly assembled and buggy - it all feels less irritating (key word being “less”) when the world is already absurd and illogical.

Ganhei de graça quando ainda existia o Games with gold no xbox e n sabia de nada da história, achei mt foda o estilo gráfico além de ser um dos melhores jogos de fps do xbox 360.

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 👍🏼

As an act of rebellion to avoid playing another game, i decided to spent 3 full days getting all the achievements in BL2 for the first time, as redemption to my younger self who put almost every game aside to play nothing but multiplayer shooters for 4-5 years. I do remember this one being the most fun to play, aside from BL1 which is my fav all around being introduced to it in 2011. Gunplay and build crafting is simple and enjoyable i played Axton for the first time so i went with a turret/kill skill build that made my normal playthrough trivial. Now, not having played this game in quite a few years i had forgotten the majority of the dialogue or jokes written and it has to be just the over-saturation of the style of writing, but after the halfway point and for all the DLCs i was tuning that out. I dont know if BL2 is seen as the perfect middle ground of snappy and good writing compared to the other ones (especially BL3) but i was generally bored when it came to having to pay attention to the story, and almost any wit gave me an excuse to eye roll especially with the dated humour, but those got a pity laugh for them even adding it in the first place (they had a Do it for the Vine Badass Challenge name and its there forever). And of course the massive positive i can give the game is the grind it gives you for gear, i didn't do too much of that during my playthrough but if i get bored and return i know for sure i can go hours killing the same boss for a specific thing. All in all BL2 still holds up as an amazing looter shooter with those fundamentals honed in, while i feel like i moved away from its style of writing, i know some people that will quote this and other BL games for hours and die laughing in the process.

I have a special fondness for Borderlands 2 because not only was it the first game to get my wife into first person shooters, but it was also the main way the two of us kept in touch with a couple friends of ours that had moved out of town.

I think Borderlands 2 is, sadly, where the Borderlands franchise peaked and Gearbox hasn't been able to meet this quality in every attempt since. The story and tone are perfect without feeling like it's ever trying too hard the way subsequent Borderlands games felt. The gameplay felt great. Every aspect of it works together to create a fantastic game experience that we still think back on fondly.

Quite annoying loot shooter, in various ways.

Had fun with that mess though, gotta admit. A good load-out makes one happy, it's a fact. Almost gave it 4 stars...

Horrible writing though. My fault for playing it on the Vita, but it crashed 3 times a session. And combined with that buggy Toil and Trouble mission near the end, it all made me so angry: intentional bad game design masked as "challenging"? Naw just dumb and annoying.

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.

Borderlands 2 is a really fun time. Classes are diverse and fun to experiment with, the gameplay and abilities are hella fun to use, and there's tons of great characters to hang out with here. The story ain't half bad too, with a great driving antagonist that I'm sure everyone knows about. It's just such a fun time to shoot, loot and repeat and keep collecting stronger weapons, it's a great loop and it makes the neurons in my gamer brain go off like a tornado siren. Good stuff.
