    Absürt dünyası ve mizahıyla, inanılmaz silah çeşitliliğiyle, özellikle arkadaşlarla oynamak için en iyi hikayeli oyunlardan. Yan görev kalitesi biraz daha iyi olabilirmiş.

    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.

The story is awful, am I the "bad guy"? is jack the " good guy" I don't get it, are newU stations cannon or not? 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 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.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.
