    -Game Description
    Borderlands 2 is a 2012 action role-playing first-person shooter video game developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K. Taking place five years following the events of Borderlands (2009), the game is again set on the planet of Pandora. The story follows a new group of Vault Hunters who must ally with the Crimson Raiders, a resistance group made up of civilian survivors and guerrilla fighters, to defeat the tyrannical Handsome Jack before he can unlock the power of a new Vault. The game features the ability to explore the in-game world and complete main missions and optional side quests, either in offline split screen, single-player or online cooperative gameplay. Like its predecessor, the game features a procedurally generated loot system which is capable of generating numerous combinations of weapons and other gear.
    This is the part of the description where I put a bunch of keywords to get recommended to more people.

    i think it is also important to know that Borderlands 2 was able to have a far larger budget than could have been done normally, because gearbox were basically funneling funds from another game they were set to produce, Aliens: colonial Marines.

    Even after 4 playthroughs of this game, I never did finish the Hammerlock DLC. The other 3 were fantastic, which makes me wonder if maybe they outsourced this one to another studio? 😮‍💨

    • @jjwells2128
      @jjwells2128 3 месяца назад +1

      Yeah, the first 3 dlcs were outsourced to different companies, this one being the least appealing to most people (myself included). I give kudos to the devs for at least adding content to the game though, albeit it’s lack of quality & polish.

    The flamerock refuge ambient music is just the best. The composers and engineers are absolutely top tier, in my opinion. I love this game. It's the best bang for the buck that you'll ever see in the game industry, well as far as looter shooters go.

    honestly such a distinct way to tackle (what feels like) a monolith of a game and focusing in on its outcomes of its release and its contents. I feel like if you talked about the community it would have been bloated so this was very well crafted. I give it 9/10 claptraps (i wanted you to attend his birthday in the video lol)

    Honestly ive got over 1000 hours on bl2 but when bl3 came out i was a bit disappointed since not only was there terrible dialogue but tyreen and troy just failed when becoming the new villains and it was just too easy so much so that id finish it in a couple hours and get to max level

  • @drewlovelyhell4892
    @drewlovelyhell4892 5 месяцев назад +1

    I played through Borderlands (1) several times, but struggled to get into BL2. I still haven't finished it.
    I found that I got frustrated with constantly having to compare stats every time someone dropped a weapon. But I'm going back to give it another go. I think I'll try it as Kreig this time.
    I started to miss games where you just have a set list of weapons and can upgrade them.
    I'd rather focus on exploration and combat than inventory management.
    Also, I hate that it takes a big bite out of your wallet every time you die!

    • @xdrcx
      @xdrcx Месяц назад

      The weapon's card auto compares stats and makes is incredibly easy to interpret with green or red arrows lol?

    • @drewlovelyhell4892
      @drewlovelyhell4892 Месяц назад +1

      @@xdrcx Yeah, but I often pick up, for example, an incendiary SMG which is the same as one I already have but with slightly better damage, but a smaller clip and lower fire rate, and it's not a clear choice.
      And my inventory is always full, so every single time someone drops a weapon, I have to stop and look at my inventory for something to drop. It just gets tedious.

    everytime someone calls Borderlands "Cel Shaded", a vault hunter dies
    (the game is not cel-shaded, its a common misconception. Randy himself stated that multiple times. Instead it uses a shading technique called "Normal based edge detection".)
