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

    El mejor borderlands de toda la saga, divertidísimo jugarlo en cooperativo con un amigo, tienes contenido de sobra y actualmente lo encuentras a precios bajísimos y vale completamente la pena comprarlo y jugarlo.

    Fast-paced and explosive gameplay complemented by powerful random loot drops. The writing is colorful and fun with a cast of uniquely unhinged characters and an engaging central plot. GOAT looter shooter for a reason

    Druga część kultowej strzelanki dała mi dużo lepsze wrażenia względem jedynki. Nie sądziłem, że da się zrobić coś lepszego od pierwszej odsłony, a jednak. Ciężko dodać tu coś więcej, ponieważ odczucia mam takie same jak opisałem w przypadku pierwszej części. Genialna kontynuacja.

    A damn good game. Funny as hell and challenging.
    I'm normally not a 1st person shooter kinda' guy but I gave it a go and 60 hours and two characters (Zero and Krieg), later, I'm sold.

    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.
    Other than that, the game is fun as hell!!    … Expand

    Ce jeu est un chef d'œuvre. Tout est parfait. La narration, le gameplay, les personnages, la direction artistique. Ce jeu est unique et à selon moi l'un des meilleur méchant de l'histoire du jeu vidéo. Le meilleur shooter looter.

    Very fun story, despite not being a great plot it entertains from beginning to end with a lot of humor.
    Gameplay is exactly the same as 1 with a few different weapon and character additions. It's worth playing the one due to numerous references to the previous game. I highly recommend getting the game + Expansions on sale, because to do everything I spent 117 hours and    Awesome game...

    It is worth mentioning the co-op multiplayer that makes the game even more fun.

    Very good game with a world with many secondary missions and a great story, The weapons speak for themselves, the enemies and bosses to defeat are very well designed, the mission design is very well done so as not to get bored, the customization of your character It is very broad, each class has a very well marked and special skill tree.

    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

    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.
