    This is just a brainless shooting game, with boring story, corny and cringe worthy dialogues and jokes, with terrible AI's that just stand there waiting for you to shoot them. Honestly I only bought this game to play with my friends but I ended up regretting since most of the time I was half asleep grinding the story to get to their levels.

    Un buen juego, se nota que la accion y el humor se pasan mejor jugando en una partida con 4 jugadores, pero en solitario no decepciona, los dialogos y las bromas de ciertos personajes te hacen sentir incluido en Pandora.

Realmente mi unica pega es que a diferencia de otros juegos en este no obtienes un gran loot de la noche a la mañana, incluso derrotando al jefe final no te da ningun arma de color naranja, siendo esta el mayor nivel de rareza, aun asi hay armas bastante buenas que puedes conseguir haciendo misiones secundarias, o con los DLC.
    El juego tiene muchisimas misiones y no parece complicado sacarse el 100% de este, pero mi recomendacion es hacer con amigos, lo pasaras mucho mejor, y no dudo que puedan finalizar la historia principal en 20 horas o menos.

    BRONIE
    Oczywiście pierwsze co przychodzi nam do głowy kiedy myślimy o Borderlandsach to bronie. Olbrzymi wybór, duża różnorodność w połączeniu z bardzo ciekawymi mechanikami, prześmiewczymi nazwami i responsywnym feelingiem. To nie mogło pójść źle. Amunicje oraz unikatowe bronie można znaleźć w skrzynkach rozsianych po mapie. Otwieranie każdej skrzynki daje tyle samo frajdy co    7/10

Amunicje oraz unikatowe bronie można znaleźć w skrzynkach rozsianych po mapie. Otwieranie każdej skrzynki daje tyle samo frajdy co lootboxy w innych grach a jest CAŁKOWICIE DARMOWE. (EA mogłoby się sporo nauczyć.)
    WALKA
    Zabijanie ludzi w Borderlandsach jest ekstremalnie satysfakcjonujące. Strzelanie z dystansu, z bliska, podpalanie, oblewanie kwasem. Krew leje się na lewo i prawo. Dodatkowo walki z bossami potrafi być wymagające (czasami może nawet aż za bardzo) Każdy przeciwnik zachowuje się nieco inaczej, i trzeba wybierać broń odpowiednio do przeciwnika. Umiejętności postaci dodają dynamiki oraz najzwyczajniej w świecie dają radochę graczowi.
    NAWIĄZANIA
    Jak ktoś mówi mi o tej grze myślę o nawiązaniach do pop kultury. Znaleźć tu można nawiązania do kreskówek, filmów czy innych gier, a nawet o zgrozo : memów. Bardzo miło wspinam momenty w których orientowałem się że walczę z żółwiami ninja, odpowiednikiem king konga, czy słyszę jakiś tekst zapożyczony z z popularnego filmu.
    MAPA ORAZ BACKTRACKING
    Mapa jest totalnie nieczytelna. Jeżeli jakaś lokacja ma więcej niż jeden poziom nawigowanie po niej staje się niemożliwe. Fast travel jest dostępny tylko z jednej lokacji do następnej, co powoduje dość częsty backtracking co w połączeniu z nieczytelnym instancjonowanym systemem psuje czasami zabawę. Zabijanie po raz 10 dokładnie tej samej grupki przeciwników nie jest już aż tal satysfakcjonujące
    FABUŁA
    Fabuła jest. Ma swoje mocniejsze momenty, kilka ciekawych plot twistów, aczkolwiek znacznie bardziej w pamięć zapadają questy poboczne, które nie raz przebijają czwartą ścianę, używają tony sarkazmu i są po prostu śmieszne. Moim ulubionym questem była misja w której Handsome Jack (nasz głowny antagonista) kazał mi się zabić. Oczywiście w przypadku śmierci Bardzo szybko pojawiałem się spowrotem na mapie, a zleceniodawca questa zaznaczył że jestem suką która zrobi wszystko dla pieniędzy. I takich przykładów jest znacznie więcej.    … Expand

    The game is boring. The movement is clunky. The gunplay has a ton of visual recoil and bloom that makes target aquisition hard while tracking. Enemies are bullet sponges with limited outplay potential. Regen is very slow and health hard to come by. The health system should be replaced with a total shield system. The game is 6/10.

    You know that feeling of everyone is having fun except me? I feel that way about the whole Borderlands series. I'm choosing Borderlands 2 for this review, as it's the game in the series I have played the most. I don't believe that these games are bad, however while some parts can be fun with friends, other parts can be tiresome and repetitive, with little satisfaction to speak of.

I don't believe that these games are bad, however while some parts can be fun with friends, other parts can be tiresome and repetitive, with little satisfaction to speak of. The randomised loot is a lot of fun, and is easily the best part of the series, making every player's experience somewhat unique. Since I can only rate these games on my experience, I feel its worth saying others may get more from the Borderlands series, but as it stands I would say if you've played a bit of one, you have basically played all that the series has to offer.… Expand

    In many ways Borderlands 2 improves upon BL1 and, if you are a fan of the first game in the series, I would easily recommend this one. The gameplay seems a bit smoother, the art seems a bit more polished, and rocket launchers can actually do damage! That being said, there are a few things

    I highly disagree that this game is better than the first.

    The most important aspect, the guns, feel a lot more varied, but they're a lot more annoying to use with some major drawbacks depending on the manufacturer. Most drawback and gimmicks from different manufacturers feel very tacked on for the sake of being unique like Hyperion, Vladof and Dahl. Torgue also made explosive shots    I highly disagree that this game is better than the first.

    Most drawback and gimmicks from different manufacturers feel very tacked on for the sake of being unique like Hyperion, Vladof and Dahl. Torgue also made explosive shots exclusive to them which also limited the modifier.

    The writing is another problem, it's a lot more brazen "XD so randum" early 2010s humor instead of first game's more subtle approach. It wasn't good when it was released, it's even worse now.

    I am also not a fan of very spongey enemies and tons of useless loot dropping, it's unneeded waste of time.

    If you're obsessed with loot in games, this game might be a masterpiece to you, but even then I believe that behind all these concepts lies a much better game that vast majority would prefer.    … Expand

    Borderlands is a franchise that I absolutely love the idea of, I mean I own Borderlands 2 on Ps3, Ps4, and PC, but unfortunately I personally find the execution flawed.
    Borderlands 2 ticks a lot of boxes for me, it has several playable characters with various viable build paths and totally unique playstyles. It has artistic and flavorful graphics and smooth gunplay.

    Borderlands 2 ticks a lot of boxes for me, it has several playable characters with various viable build paths and totally unique playstyles. It has artistic and flavorful graphics and smooth gunplay. And most importantly, it is generous with giving the player rare and legendary gear that has unique effects, are fun to use, and very exciting to find.
    Despite these positives, I don't love the game for 2 primary reasons; the map and quest design, and the difficulty.
    Some of the maps in this game are absolutely huge, and I just find navigating them to be anti-fun, a total slog. The best parts of this game are when you are going through a linear area, with a defined goal and lots of enemies in your way. I want to be shooting, I want to be testing my build that I've worked on...I do not want to be spending my time looking at the map, and making sure I'm hitting all my quest markers. You can clear an area, then be given several quests to go back to the same area and go through it again. This is not fun when the maps are huge and traversing them takes seemingly forever. Not only that, but you can only see the quest marker of the quest you currently have selected, meaning you will be going to the menu often to swap your quests around to make sure you aren't missing something, which would necessitate another visit to the same area.
    My second problem with Borderlands 2 is the difficulty. It very well could be that I'm just trash, but I find I spend far too much time in "Fight for your life" mode, a timed downed state where you have the chance to kill an enemy to revive yourself. As you progress to the higher difficulties, you can reasonable expect to be downed during nearly every encounter. When you are in fight for your life, you can hardly move and are scrambling to get that kill or have to run back through the huge map again. Once again, this is just anti-fun. I would much rather that fight for your life didn't exist, and enemies were balanced without this feature in mind.
    Borderlands 2 is a game that I will always think fondly about, but will likely never find much joy in playing.    … Expand

    The biggest difference between BL1 and 2 is the tone. BL2 set the series in a direction that uses comedy and silliness as the main selling point instead of an addition or background as in the original and the first game's DLCs. The gameplay and itemization was polished, but I never felt as attached to any particular character as I did in the original.

    It’s addicting, full of creative gags and amazing battles (especially in co-op mode) and it keeps dangling that loot-carrot in front of your face. Add that crazy humor on top and you have a synonymous for the world ‘entertainment’. [November 2012]

    If you're looking for something with a ponderous story full of morality and contemplation – one best savored alone – then you'll need to look elsewhere. Borderlands 2 delivers tons of lighthearted, occasionally juvenile fun with immense replayability, and is best approached with a few buddies in tow. It doesn't revolutionize the concept pioneered by its forebear, but it refines it to a razor-sharp edge and offers some of the most fun you can have in a cooperative action RPG this side of Diablo II. And if nothing else, it's got lots of Claptrap.

    The moment at which my endearingly annoying robot companion Claptrap fashioned himself a Mohawk out of some animal fur I collected he earned a spot on my all-time favorite robot list.
