#Borderlands 2 psycho pack worth it series

Borderlands 2 was actually my introduction to the series and I found that it made me appreciate the game even more when I went back to the first game and saw everything they would later implement for a smoother and more complete product.īut enough rambling, lets get into the review!īorderlands 2 is set 5 years after the events of the first game where a new element called Eridium is now found all over the planet of Pandora. Still, Borderlands 2 came in strong with a new writer, a new set of villains, and a brand new evil. It was such a huge issue that even those working at gearbox made fun of themselves (check out Ashley Burch’s video HERE to see what I mean). There was a very loose story in Borderlands, and an ending that had weak enemies (weak main villains), and ultimately a very poor finale that left players feeling unaccomplished. While people loved the characters, the style, and the mechanics of the game…what the consumers hated was the ending. Borderlands created its own type of genre now dubbed the “Shooter-looter”. If you read my original Borderlands review (which you can find HERE), the aspect of an action RPG crossed with FPS actually ended up as a great hit. People were ecstatic to return back to Pandora and see what new danger awaited us there. But luckily, this was something we did not have to worry about when it came to Borderlands 2. This is especially true when talking about things within the gaming industry. We are worried about our favorite things getting ‘worn out’ and becoming cash cows. It takes a lot to take a good thing and make it even better…and I think a lot of us are very picky and ‘skeptical’ about things like sequels.
