One of the notable improvements is the enhanced A.I., making the gameplay experience feel more dynamic and engaging. The addition of a much-needed minimap and the distinctiveness of various zones further enrich the overall gameplay, setting it apart from its predecessor.

    The standout feature of "Borderlands 2" is its captivating story. Unlike the first game, which felt a bit lackluster and slow-paced, this sequel delivers a compelling narrative that kept me enthralled from start to finish. The humor and the development of the characters added depth and charm to the entire experience, ensuring there was never a dull moment.

    It's quite rare for a sequel to surpass the original, but "Borderlands 2" achieves just that. The gameplay is an absolute thrill, offering a perfect blend of madness, addictiveness, and rewarding progression. The story, filled with moments that evoke various emotions, mainly laughter, is truly an impressive feat.

    Of course, no game is without its flaws, and "Borderlands 2" is no exception. There was a notable performance issue that I encountered initially, despite having a high-end PC. However, the new textures DLC came to the rescue and fixed the problem for me. Despite this, I still had to adjust the settings, such as running the game with PhysX on low and view distance on medium, to optimize performance. Nevertheless, these minor setbacks didn't significantly dampen the overall enjoyment of the game.

    In conclusion, "Borderlands 2" is a shining example of a sequel that excels in every way, surpassing its predecessor in both gameplay and storytelling. The game's addictive and rewarding gameplay, combined with its compelling narrative and humorous moments, create an unforgettable experience. While some performance issues may have lingered, the overall package more than makes up for it. If you're a fan of the series or looking for an action-packed, humorous, and thoroughly enjoyable gaming adventure, "Borderlands 2" is an absolute must-play.    … Expand

    Es gibt einfach kein besseres Spiel, das war mein erstes Steam Spiel und ich finde es immer noch von allen am besten, obwohl ich derzeit fast zweihundert habe. Jeden Charakter durchgespielt, auf Level 72 und später noch meinem Lieblingscharakter den Gunzerker auf OP 8.

Jeden Charakter durchgespielt, auf Level 72 und später noch meinem Lieblingscharakter den Gunzerker auf OP 8.

    Der Sarkasmus und die Beleidigungen in dem Spiel sind wirklich allerhöchste Königsklasse, soviel Humor, Sarkasmus und Töten für den kleinsten Grund, hört sich jetzt komisch an aber das Spiel ist einfach crazy und was es alles zubieten hat, wirklich sehr viele Easter Eggs, darunter auch Minecraft, welches dann wirklich in Minecraft Grafik und Design dargestellt wird.

    Super gute Musik, also die Entwicklung war schon richtig teuer aber es hat sich mehr als gelohnt.

    Kommen wir mal zu den DLC´s es gab 4 Story DLC´s. Captain Scarlett and Her Pirate's Booty, ein Piraten DLC, für mich natürlich optimal, sehr schöne Atmosphäre und von sehr guter Dauer, keines der DLC´s war schnell durchgespielt, wirklich so lang wie die halbe bis drei viertel Story der Hauptstory.

    Mr. Torgue's Campaign of Carnage, es wurden neue Automaten eingeführt wo man sich eine der besten Waffen überhaupt holen konnte, die Unkempt Harold und generell war das DLC mega lustig, mit Torgue, der immer gut gelaunt ist und alles in die Luft sprengen will, mit Tina als Bombenbastlerin, hat wirklich sehr viel geboten und die beste Farmmöglichkeit überhaupt gab es in der Bar.

    Sir Hammerlock's Big Game Hunt kann als einziges nicht so ganz mithalten, liegt aber an den vielen freien Flächen und dass die meisten diese ekeligen Monster wahrscheinlich nicht so mögen, aber Storytechnisch hat es auch viel Spaß gemacht.

    Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep ein DLC, dass als Brettspiel eingeleitet wird, man spielt aber ganz normal, ab und zu hört man aber Dialoge, dass man quasi von Brick, Mordekai Lilith und Tina gespielt wird, das DLC war ein einziges Easter Egg, da gab´s echt alles, bis zu den Regenbogenkotzenden Einhörnern und nochmals neue Automaten und Easter Eggs zu Der Herr der Ringe, Harry Potter und Schneewittchen und vieles mehr. Natürlich nicht zu vergessen, in jeden DLC gab es einen oder mehrere Raidbosse, die von Scarlett´s DLC waren viel zu Stark, konnte man mit Axton und Gaige aber doch ganz gut schaffen, die von Torgue waren, wenn man weiß wie es geht recht gut zu machen und hatten genau die richtige Stärke/Schwierigkeit, Hammerlock´s war dem DLC entsprechend passend und auch zu gut schaffen, Tiny Tina´s DLC Raidboss war schon ziemlich schwierig, waren aber auch vier Drachen, daher auch einfach nur spitze.

    Diese vier Story DLC´s waren das beste was ich je gespielt habe, die Hauptstory ist natürlich auch erstklassig aber so viel Mühe für bzw in DLC´s habe ich bisher nur in diesem Spiel erlebt.

    Später wurden noch vier Headhunter Packs hinzugefügt, kleine zwei Stunden DLC´s aber passend zur Jahreszeit bzw. zum Feiertag für wenig Geld, wirklich angemessen. TK Baha's Bloody Harvest - The first Headhunter Pack themed around Halloween. The Horrible Hunger of the Ravenous Wattle Gobbler - Players are thrown into a Hunger Games style mission to seek and kill the Wattle Gobbler in this Thanksgiving themed add-on. How Marcus Saved Mercenary Day - A Christmas themed pack . Sir Hammerlock and the Son of Crawmerax - A tropical island themed pack . Die beste Atmosphäre, die es je in einem Spiel gab, das Wasser, die Farben des Bosses, das komplette Island. Danke dafür!    … Expand

    3. There should be more "evenness" with weapon and gear distribution.
    4. Chat in groups is HORRIBLE! Unless you click on Y to either type yourself or see what someone else typed, you have no idea if a teammate is giving a direction or saying anything because chat doesn't pop up when someone types. You see it of course, but your teammates don't unless they check for messages.

    A very high quality game, definitely worth your attention. It is fundamentally different from the bl1, so if you did not like the first one, feel free to try the bl2. The game is divided into several DLCs, without which it is not so interesting. But each of them is worth it. One of the best "looter-shooters" - a lot of guns, gear, quests and bosses. totally worth it.

The cast of characters, player class or not, are brimming with personality and enjoyable to watch interacting with the world. The diversity of weapons is staggering and the story features one of the most memorable antagonists in all of gaming. The only minor complaint I have is that as you increase in OP level, the viability of playstyles becomes severely narrowed. However, this only becomes an issue after investing hundreds of hours into the game, at which point it was already cemented as one of my favorites, so the adjustment didn't bother me at all. As of now, the game has a variety of story DLC that I think are all worth the price, and I have completed the game with every character, getting them to max level. I have invested time and effort into this game that I can say I did with very few other titles. A masterpiece and 100% worth playing if you haven't already.… Expand

    One of the best co-op experiences of the decade. The combination of a unique style, a well-thought-out combat system and RPG elements does the trick. The amount of visual and verbal humor is also a plus. The main storyline is solid, with most of the DLC's retaining the spirit of the original game.

    In my eyes, Borderlands 2 is the perfect sequel. It improved upon the original game in almost every aspect. The only issue I have with the game is the lack of replayability. Playing through the same story again with the same character just to get it to level 72 was a major chore, but nevertheless, it's something that I often go back to every now and then and have tons of fun playing.

I've been thinking for a long time which work I would lean to more, but in the end it would be number one. So let's start with the locations, and that's the main reason why I liked the previous episode more, because it took place in the desert, which is one of my favorites and maybe even my favorite environment ever. Borderlands 2 throws you right into the freezing winter right at the beginning, but it also has its charm and especially I will return to the desert and what's more, it is even nicer. Wondering how nicer it is? Although the second part still sticks to its comic book graphics, it slightly withdrew from it compared to the previous part, and the game already looks a bit more realistic, especially in terms of lighting, which adds a completely new touch to the game. The interface has also undergone a change, which, although not bad, I would rather have the previous one. Although I like this new look of the inventory, it affected me and especially from the beginning of the game confusing and, what's worse, difficult to control here and there. Not only did it take me a while to change weapons, but there are also stupid tasks where you want to click on another one and return to the previous one later, but the game just won't leave you. Apart from these few bugs that I noticed while playing, the game offers only the good. As I mentioned richer locations, especially if you also own a DLC for this game. As was the case then, you can now go through the game in co-op, which is great. Overall, the game takes what worked in the first place and further improves it a bit in the form of new locations. Too bad only those technical shortcomings that unnecessarily knock down the game. But it must be said that this is nothing terrible or something that would definitely spoil your gaming experience. In addition, I would like to point out that I played the game on a PC, and what I heard from a friend of mine who is a fan of the series, the Borderlands 2 port on the PC is not quite the best. Despite all this, this is a great game and if you liked number one, then I don't hesitate to be you and I will immediately start at number two, which actually makes the menu bugged here and there all the better. Great game for me, which I recommend.… Expand

    One of my personal favorite games with its great ascetic and a fun story. The characters are both funny but also fleshed out. I defiantly consider it to be an improvement on the original Borderlands. I would defiantly recommend to anyone who likes any kind of RPG or shooter.

The jokes were well-crafted, the deliveries on lines, spare some, were spot-on, especially with Handsome Jack. The story had a well-established pace that could always be filled up with some of the vast amount of genuinely hilarious, sad, or occasionally mundane sidequests. You always feel like you're improving and finding cool new loot to make your character that much better at killing bad guys. It's a fun adventure that must be played by any FPS, RPG, or looter fan, especially with friends. The only real gripes I have is some farming can be quite tedious and can become unrewarding and unfun, the leveling system can be pretty broken before TVHM end-story and you can easily become underleveled or overleveled if you don't do the exact amount of side missions, and finally: The Hammerlock DLC. Just. No Gearbox. Never again.… Expand

    Still lives up 8 years later as one of the best looter-shooters in video game history. If you don't have this game yet, buy it immediately. Get multiple copies to play with your friends. Great plot, humorous dialogue, awesome loot and fantastic missions and NPC's.

    Okay, sorry for that Tiny Tina outburst. I love this damn game. I got it for Xbox 360, PS3 and PC. With over 1000 hours between the three of them.

    The story picks up a bit after BL1. They're part of the Crimson Raiders, a group of former Crimson Lancemen and citizens from the various towns in part one who are struggling to make a living. New characters, new weapons...same everyone's favorite trash can robot, Claptrap. Tiny Tina and Torgue are my two favorite characters. Both have funny personalities, though I can see some people complaining about both.

    Get some friends, and damn, this game quickly becomes "MY LOOT!" and everyone leaving everyone for themselves. So much fun.

    With DLC, there's 6 Vault Hunters. And the commando (equivalent to Roland in BL`1) Can actually THROW his damn turret, instead of just dropping it in front of him. The cheesiest character is Salvador, he can, with the right weapons and build can just use his ability, gunzurking, near indefinitely. To me, he's not a fun character. Whereas I like to play as Axton the commando, as his abilities focus on either explosives (grenades, rockets, and certain Torgue guns), or Gaige who, when built with Anarchy has a high risk, high reward. Well, not really high risk, but as you gain Anarchy, you lose accuracy. I had 400 stacks, sniper rifle aimed at a dude maybe 5 meters away and still missed. Another mission, for Tina, I had about 300 or so, and the objective was to get this guy to her so she can....have a tea party. To keep him "occupied" you have to shoot near him. I was facing 90 degrees away from him, and, not wanting to lose anarchy stacks but wanting to reload, I shot. It killed him. Hilarious but annoying.

    The guns in this game are gun, and some are just powerful, but the recoil animation...something doesn't click with me compared to part 1's revolvers and snipers. The gunplay in Part 1 seemed so much better.

    And the one thing I dislike are some things get super repetitive.

    Good:
    Graphics
    controls
    Story
    Characters (Tiny Tina and Mr. Torgue Felxington are my faves).

    Neutral: Gunplay (the way the gun recoils/feels in the hands). Something is lacking from BL1

    Bad.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. One of, if not the greatest video game of all time.

    Borderlands 2 has been very close to my childhood, and I recently came back to play it once again. The game controls very well, and those controls are so simplistic that a 5-year-old could get them down easily. The story is flawless and does have a decent plot hook where angel is revealed to be working with Handsome Jack all along.

    There is only one problem that I have with this game, and it happens to many games, is the poorly aged comedy. Though in 2012 I would have found many of the jokes hilarious, most of them are just dried out and no longer funny.

    I love this game and it will forever be the greatest game in my heart.    … Expand

    Borderlands 2 is the literal definition of Shoot n' Loot.. You shoot enemies, they drop guns and stuff, you pick them up, you get stronger, you get legendary guns, etc. Heck, there are more than 15 million guns in this game (yes I know it is because of gun parts on a gun). But I think the best part of the game is the story.

    What Borderlands lacked in compelling characters and a good story, Borderlands 2 makes up for it with the introduction of Handsome Jack and Tiny Tina, for example, whilst improving on its distinctive aesthetic and addictive gameplay with lots of crazy customisations. Pandora looks and sounds so rich with style and with refined looter shooter mechanics, Borderlands 2 is the best in its class.

    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.
