    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.

    Every problem which I had with BL1 is still in BL2, vehicles still don't have a min - max speed climb, they just go straight to max right off the bat, they're awful to maneuver and so on. There's really not much to do in this game but run around and shoot things, the "clean" areas are a welcome addition, but the constant respawning is so annoying. The story is awful, am I the "bad guy"? isEvery problem which I had with BL1 is still in BL2, vehicles still don't have a min - max speed climb, they just go straight to max right off the bat, they're awful to maneuver and so on.

BL1 was good because it didn't bother with morality, you were a vault hunter, that was it. BL2's story is so weak in regards to the vault, the vault used to be special, I was hoping they would've moved away from that plotline. The "comedy" is pathetic, and it keeps getting worse as you play the game. BL1 handles comedy a lot better, it was subtle and well constructed. Expand

    Decent game with average gunplay that makes you keep playing for the story and specially the characters. It's good for the time I guess, but I don't like this kind of shooters anymore, and I remember playing a little bit tired of this game at the last mission.

    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.

    The shooting mechanism is overpraised by many fans. Enemies aren't nothing but bullet-sponge dolls, in most cases they are placed randomly around the map. They will also respawn immediately if you exit its area. This is what I usually call a company's strategy to prolong the game with the least effort possible. It's a game for squads of players which explains the bullet-sponge enemies.The shooting mechanism is overpraised by many fans.

    It's been eight years and the game is still not optimized, FPS drops happen, bugs also happen despite having the latest PC components. It's a shame that the gameplay absolutely ruined every aspect of the story and the atmosphere for me because characters are actually well written with a lot of humor included. Graphics and the art style is where the game shines at most.

    The gameplay is great, the action, all of those guns and its looting mechanism. But I guess this is not my type of game, as I tend to prefer a good story alongside good gameplay, but this does not really have that.

    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.
    Somewhat repetitive

    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.

    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.

    An endless loop of "Get gun, shoot thing, get better gun" that doesn't work for me on any level. And the writing... I'm going to make a lot of people angry but there were very few characters that I didn't want to punch in the face. The sort of comedy they use in this game I THOUGHT I'd find pretty funny, but after a while it's grating beyond belief.

I've easily put 2 thousand or more hours into across multiple platforms. Endgame balance would be my main complaint with UVHM and OP Levels adding a generally unfavorable level of difficulty the series is not known for nor does it need. Especially after an increase from OP 8 to 10, I've just stopped using the whole system for the most part. Luckily the enormous amount of quality content makes up for that one flaw.

    the story is good, not great as some parts will have you just running around the map listening to exposition but the chars in the story are memorable and enjoyable
    the world is very distinct and from the ice of liersburg to the vasteness of the dust its places are also memorable, granted on some maps losing a ride means you are walking for 5m to the spawner to get another
    overall if you enjoy fps and know what rpg mechanics are , you should enjoy this game EVEN if some of the writing might feel either outdated (some memes that for some reason snuck in) or crinjy (some chars are plain annoying to some, personnaly i am indeferent to tiny tina but ussually hear many complains about her from other players)

    I bought this game thinking it was good because of the ratings on here, but it was terrible. I played for 5 minutes and started throwing up. I hate how you jump around so high and how crappy the gun system is. Enemies are frustrating to kill and story and graphics are ugly and cartoon-like.

    Borderlands 2 is one of THEE greatest games of all time certainly not perfect and after iv played this game well over 2000 hours hours across multiple platforms i can say it dose have its flaws but no flaws so glareing , every aspect of this game was thought of and it almost feels like as game catered to my own interests and likes witch is gonna be hard to be unbias (but this is my ownBorderlands 2 is one of THEE greatest games of all time certainly not perfect and after iv played this game well over 2000 hours hours across multiple platforms i can say it dose have its flaws but no flaws so glareing , every aspect of this game was thought of and it almost feels like as game catered to my own interests and likes witch is gonna be hard to be unbias (but this is my own review and bias opinion any ways but ill do my best to keep it objective).

    Story: just like the first one you play as a vault hunter , in the first game they were mere treasure hunters that would take on mercenary jobs now you play as people who came in search of tresure only to have handsome jack try to claim your life so you do the right thing and decide hey i should probs kills this guy. handsome jack is one of the greatest villains of all time id put him up there witch the joker and thanos , his impact on the world is huge even after his subsequent death he is with you through out the whole game , mocking you and even telling you to kill your self (so hes basicly a cyber bully) . but the greatest strength of the story is the supporting cast, the playable characters from the first game are fleshed out as npcs their personality's and relationships and more , characters have falling outs , they date , look up too other characters and some are even related or have been divorced by some , character relationships help make all the side characters feel real and true to life despite this being crazy eccentric personality's and the best example of this is tiny tina, yes shes hilarious and ashley burch nails every line as tiny tina But tiny tina still feels human we se her take revenge , make jokes , and grieve for her fallen friend the end of the tiny tina dlc is the saddest moments in video games . hell alot of the cast in this game has their own fandom.
    Story: 10/10

    world building: borderlands world REALLY came into its own in this second outing each gun company has their own personality and it shows through their guns , sirens and written a little better making it so only 6 can exist in the universe at once adding to both sirens as a concept AND the sirens already present . all the creatures act differently and combat encounters are never the same and there is such a huge variety and knowing more about creatures can even help you fight them (weak points and behaviours). locations are given alot of importance and no location goes without a quest or something to make it interesting and each are varied in weather , colour palate and tone. not to mention the final scene of the main game with a map of all the vaults. the game got bigger and continues to get bigger and with the end of the second game borderlands has the ability to have as much lore as star wars .
    World building: 9.7/10

    Graphics: for 2012 the graphics look great , borderlands 2 was ahead of its time stylistically as well as technicly (even if the style dose cover up some technical flaws) graphics is borderlands weakest element i know im contradicting my self , gun and skill animations are great and really polished BUT anything else is kinda awkward looking(includeing melee) characters walk around in such an awkward manor and over all movement in this game looks and feels too Straightforward. but thats just me nit picking and graphics are only the weakest part because i could find the most flaws with it witch are few and far between, the styles great the techs good and the animations that count are good plus locations are beautiful and this game will stand the test of time.
    Graphics: 9/10

    Gameplay: this game is an absolute joy to play after how much iv played this game i still go through phases of wanting to play it (pokemon , fallout and skyrim also do this to me) guns as previously mentioned look great and feel great , rarity's affect stats and looks unlike in the first game. a lot of the eridium guns are innovative and fun, legendary s pack a serious punch makeing the act of just shooting some one a joy, there is also alot of easter eggs to find for those hunters.
    Gameplay: 10/10

    Sound design: the music in this game is incredible both licensed and ost , and with the final line in the game being "aint no rest for the wicked" is a nice call back to the opening of the first game and its opening song. voice acting is incredible witch shouldn't be any surprise seeing as alot of these actors work for funimation the best anime localization company , colleen clinklebeard playing multiple characters and she is great at all of them, did you know tanis and lilith share a voice actor ?. the voices of each character are made with alot of love and you can tell the actors had a BLAST being in this game.
    Sound design 10/10

    10+9.7+9+10+10=48.7
    48.7/5= 9.74

    Borderlands is an incredible series and im VERY excited for Bl3 its a series that means a lot to me and iv made some great friends thanks to this game (please just release it on steam right away)

    Borderlands is a boring & annoying overrated game. Here is why.

    The game is too grindy, you have to literally keep doing the same stuff frequently, which is a very boring thing to do for me, first few hours you start the game chances are you will most likely enjoy it and think its gonna be great, but after you notice how repetitive the game is it starts to make you lose interest.

    The Loot is all the same, open these boxes you get: ammo, grenades, health, shield, money.. yep thats it.
    Then the weapon boxes all give you basically garbage loot most of the time, the white or green type of weapons which you will never use because the blue purple orange are simply better and those you get from a boss for example.
    So the loot in general is also boring and makes you lose interest due to how low rewarding it is.

    Next we go to the questing.
    The quests are fetch quests, which means they are those korean mmo type quests, you talk to the NPC, then it usually commands you to do either (Kill those enemies, collect 10 of the fur of those monsters, find this item for me..) and so on, no story behind it, no character development behind it, nothing.. pure grinding.
    The main quests have mediocre writing and humor behind them, this is acceptable but side quests are not, and in an open world game this is not okay.

    Then the enemies, some main bosses are actually cool, but most of the enemies are more of the same, you keep shooting and then they respawn. then shoot again...duh gets boring pretty fast.

    Basically in this game you keep shooting...just shoot and shoot and loot ammo then shoot these enemies who are not explained about or anything just keep shooting them then they respawn then keep shooting again and so on... its super **** boring.

    Skill tress are all passive skills except 1 also contribute more to game being boring. no action at all, slow leveling and most of the weapons are copy past with some tweaks.

    The good things are the music and the world art style, the main story is average, everything else is bad.

    Co-op might make the game a bit better, but it will never make it a great game, it will still be the boring repetitive grind-fest that it is.

    4/10 Way too overrated, cant find a good reason for its hype. I regret buying this game.

    This game was super boring, played through it in coop with 1-2 other friends. It was repetitive, bland and just a pain to play at most times. There were 1 area that was entertaining, some sort of optional arena thing where your ammo and other such things were limited and respawning prohibited. Other than that, I wouldn't recommend it - even for free

    There's also only one real active skill and the rest are passive useless skills that barely do anything when compared to how quickly your new item damage scales. Put your one point in your active skill and feel free to ignore the rest of your skill tree. The game also requires no skill required.

    Add that all together and you have a perfect little hamster wheel for the simplest of minds. How long will you keep running inside such an artificial wheel is all up to you.

    It has a nice sci-fi story with funny characters and funny moments. The humor is very peculiar, with a lot of violence, blood and madness in the mix.

    The mechanics are almost the same from the 1st Borderland and they are easy to adapt. The controls and options are almost the generics of any FPS. However, the system is more like what is common in RPG's, where enemies have a life bar that decreases as the damage is inflicted that is greater or less according to your stats.

    Overall this is a awesome game with a lot to explore and do. Where you can easily spend a 20 hours plus to do the story. Its a "must have" to any Steam collection.

    Borderlands 2 is the highly-anticipated sequel to 2009's Borderlands, being developed by Gearbox Software and published by 2K Games.

It is an open-world adventure FPS with some RPG elements that can be fully played in 4-player co-op.

    When you first open the game, you are greeted by Claptrap, a sentient droid that is your first introduction to the wacky and wonderful world of Pandora. The game controls like any modern FPS, making it easy to pick up for any experienced gamer, but the variety of guns and skills help to spice it up.

    Actually, Borderlands 2 broke the world record for most guns in a video games, as a reported 17.75 million are technically possible to exist. This is because of BL2's unique loot generation system. As with many games, health, money and ammo are commonly found around the world and are dropped by dead enemies, but the weapons are the interesting part. Each gun is made by a different fictional manufacturer which influences its styling and some abilities, e.g. all Tediore guns can be thrown like a grenade after they run out of ammo. They are also made of random components, such as different sized magazines and scopes, changing the cosmetics and power of a weapon. This makes every quest exciting, as finding a rare and powerful weapon is truly one of the most satisfying feelings in all of gaming.

    The setting of Pandora is very interesting, an alien planet inhabited by human-like creatures, but also a range of aliens that seem based on real animals but will a pump of extra-terrestrial coolness. Exploring the differently-themed parts of the planet and learning the weaknesses of all the different enemies keeps the game feeling fresh and interesting throughout the campaign.

    Surprisingly, Borderlands 2 actually conveys a quite compelling story too if you choose to focus on it. The protagonist plays as a 'Vault-Hunter', trying to steal the vault key from the game's charming but sadistic antagonist Handsome Jack who is using it to unleash and ancient, all-powerful being to assist him taking over Pandora. I personally prefer the more varied array of side-missions on offer, as I believe they offer more original, and often humorous, stories and better portray the game's surprisingly deep characters.

    The biggest downside of this game is definitely the gameplay. It plays like almost any other basic FPS, with missions mainly consisting of clearing a room full of enemies, looting it, then moving on. The variety of weapons, abilities and enemies does help to counter this, but the best way to play this game is with friends. The enemies become stronger depending on how many people are playing, adding some extra challenge, and their AI allows you to perform some interesting maneuvers with multiple players, although you'll need to run to get the best loot!

    Borderlands 2 also features a few RPG mechanics, such as levelling stats and skill points, but these features only leave you thinking what they could have been if a bit more time had been spent on them.

    Overall Borderlands 2 is a blast to play, especially with friends. The colourful graphics, detailed world and complex loot allows you to get truly invested into it, although the gameplay can get slightly tedious after a while.

    The most important part is the gameplay. It is like Bioshock, so you build your character and shoot in ego perspective, but this game is much better, because the character development is much more interesting with his several classes, skills and items.

    And then there are problems:
    There is a mistake in the gameplay design: When you load a map the enemies are back and you need to fight them again -.- And even if you stay in the same map, the enemies are respawning. Feels like work,not fun and it is a big timesink.
    Controlling is bad, because the inventory management is a nightmare... in a game where items are important...
    46 DLCs...lol. Thats why I never play games short after release, but years after, when they are really ready (every addon and patch released).
    Technically it could be better, installing mods is a nightmare + there are still many bugs, look at the unofficial Patch mod (that I cant install btw. -.-)
    There are too many dialogues, that are senseless,have low content and feels like written for young people.

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. From the moment the player hears the greedy and ruthless gun salesman, Marcus’, monologue describing the bandit-roaming, monster-infested, world of Pandora, to the final battle with the comedic yet villainous, Handsome Jack, Borderlands 2 is a game that takes the player through a rollercoaster of emotions, and an endless pool of guns and gore.

This game mixes elements from the First-Person-Shooter Genre and the Role-Playing-Game Genre and belongs in a genre known as a “shooter-looter”. This results in hours, maybe even days of gameplay, leaving the player in a state of never-ending fun with more equipment to search for, maybe even a state of insomnia and addiction, but at the end of the day, leaves the player feeling satisfied. The game of Borderlands 2 has many things to be hooked on about. Pandora is an open-world where the player can roam around icy tundra, dry deserts, and everything in between. The animations and art-style of the game are meant to be cartoonish, making it visually appealing, and gives off a comic book vibe.

    The gameplay is also different from many other video games. Although this game does not have the freedoms of other RPG games like Fallout or Skyrim, there is one thing that Borderlands 2 has that’s special. There are many guns in the game, but each gun has its own type of rarity, ability, level and has a set of custom parts that the user can’t customize. Therefore, the player must find the gun with their desired customizations by luck, also known as “farming,” in a pool of millions of gun combinations. This keeps the player glued to their seat to find a gun they want. Although this might seem repetitive and boring, it feels like any other RPG game where grinding is tedious but rewarding. Many streamers take this aspect of the game to their advantage, as it is very entertaining to watch them farm for a gun they have been looking for, for a very long time. This also encourages and represents a kind of culture that is limited to many video games. Watching other people grind for equipment for hours and hours is part of the fun in Borderlands 2’s culture, which is an easy thing for a player to be drawn into.

    Now the actual narrative of the game is somewhere the game tends to be overlooked. Players will usually find themselves farming rather than being drawn into the narrative, but that doesn’t mean the storyline has little to offer. The plot creates very good character development, which is a huge plus compared to many modern games. The side quests in the game also provide the player with some good character development and more opportunities to collect more weapons. However, some of the game’s quests, whether it be main or side quests, seemed a little boring, or repetitive. But that shouldn’t deteriorate the rest of the game’s storyline. It’s just that because the game is more based around farming than anything, many players won’t find themselves being hooked on the plot of the game past the first run-through.

    Overall, Borderlands 2 is a game that is personally one of my favorites. It has aged well, and it has had the ability to make me clock in hundreds of hours into this game, with dozens of playthroughs. The game deserves a 9 out of 10. It does have it’s boring and repetitive moments within the game, but that shouldn’t undermine the potential of fun that the player can have, farming for the perfect gear, for a perfect build, in a nearly perfect game.

    Certain doubts appear in my mind in the first few hours of Borderlands 2, yet by the end of the playthrough, they are replaced by enjoyment and satisfaction.

    Tiny Tina's Assault on Dragon Keep DLC alone and by itself makes this game a masterpiece!
    I'm not even bothering you guys to talk about anything else.

    It's kinda funny and lovely! I have not finished it yet but I really love it! specially with two people

    I have to admit the bullet travel, weapon switch delay and reload speeds and ammo and constantly getting thrown with useless weapon and having to read and compare numbers and deciding what is better is reallllly painful. with the skill trees and all that it gets worse >.< If we

    If we forget about those it's a really good game ^_^ and that's why I give it 8/10! if it didn't have those issues it'd be a 9.5/10.

    Borderlands series developed engaging world full of colorfull characters, interesting stories and dark humor. But the gameplay in Borderlands 2 is the same as in the original: clunky mix of FPS and Action RPG. Gunplay is very weak, combat overall feels boring. Itemization is alright though.

    One of the best games I've played: super fun, super addictive. Really , still one of the best games in 2017 at the time of this review. The game hits all right marks for being genuine and limitless fun. At the begining I thought is's not for be being avid heavy PC RPG gamer, but , man, i was so wrong! It has its minor minuses but they are grossly outshined by plusses. Highly recommended!

    I'm probably not the right audience for this game, which is why I didn't enjoy it very much, but it was sold to me as an FPS with RPG elements and it never really felt like the RPG elements were strong enough for me to enjoy the game.

    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.
