- Reviewed in the United States on November 19, 2012Platform For Display: PCEdition: StandardVerified PurchaseWhen I got the original Borderlands, I had fun. There were still quirks. Quirks that made me unsure if Borderlands 2 would be a step ahead or a failure. So, I'll try to break up my review into two parts; Borderlands 2 compared to Borderlands and Borderlands 2 on it's own (which I may refer to as BLT a few times).
::Comparison::
There are many improvements and changes to Borderlands 2 as opposed to Borderlands 1. First would be the story. By that, I mean there's actually a story. Borderlands 1 was quite linear and probably less than 10% of the people who get a special intro scene hold little to no value to the player. Even the villain General Knoxx was enjoyable as far as the story goes, but was a let down once you fought him. Borderlands 2 on the other hand has actual heroes, a definite villain throughout the whole game, and lots of side characters who do more than talk to you through text bubbles. This greatly improves the satire of the whole game compared to the first, as well as other aspects. Likewise, the battles against the villains mentioned in the story is rarely just a tedious objective that doesn't live up to the hype (there are still tedious objectives and some lost hype, but not as often or extreme).
Gameplay is pretty similar. There's still more guns than you could care to bother mentioning, except now I guess there's MORE more guns than you could care to bother mentioning. In the first game, it got tedious to determine which gun was better than the next. I even found I would have to shoot the gun in combat a few times before I realized I couldn't hit the broad side of a barn with the thing. Borderlands 2 is a little different. While there are more guns, the gun brands have now become easier to differentiate each weapon. This way, you can determine which brand you like more and eliminate half the more guns than you could care to bother mentioning. This also helped finding out the brands I liked in order to use every gun to its fullest (I was avoiding assault rifles and pistols before finding the brands I can trust).
Leveling up in Borderlands 2 is a bit more entertaining as well. While the leveling up in Borderlands was fun and I didn't see much problem in it, I now kinda feel my skill points were just perks and my special ability took center stage for a brief period. Examples of this would be Roland's turret, which, while effective, basically shot the crap out of everything for a little while and then went away. I actually found Lilith's phasewalking (while horrible at destroying anybody) made the most adjustments to in game strategy. In this game, it seems the characters I've tried have affected my strategy and skill point distribution much more than the first. That's probably the only reason I feel that Borderlands 1 might have been a bit stale in this area, because Borderlands 2 adds much more to it.
Elemental weapons are still here, and seemingly more effective, but less necessary. In the first game, I found I would want a variety of elemental weapons in order to fight off different enemies. In this game, I do find deciding on an elemental weapon is easier, but I don't feel the need to use as many. Perhaps this is a bonus. Perhaps not. I'm not really sure where I stand on this.
::On Its Own::
The story, while enjoyable, and has a much less linear feel to it, is not very surprising. Even though I had moments in combat where I had this feeling of being one with the story, and even though I felt a bit sad when it was all over, the story itself is nothing specatcular. This game's strengths rely mainly on it's gameplay and cooperative play (which, in turn, may add to the story). There are not many games out there that offer what Borderlands 2 does to a cooperative FPS. I don't know how much you can call it an RPG without your characters saying anything past a critical hit kill(maybe next game they'll make a cameo) or rarely having options of what your characters do (to kill five bonerfarts or not to kill five bonerfarts). Considering I'm not even sure what defines a roleplaying game, and if you want to call it an RPG because you gain levels and have magical guns, then you may. I just wouldn't play this expecting something like Skyrim or Final Fantasy.
As far as gameplay goes, one can really get into the combat situations. Between the special abilities, skills points, and different guns, battles can be frantic, strategic, arduous, and fun, all at the same time (generally, most battles in this game fit at least one criteria while being fun). There are moments where running from checkpoint to checkpoint can get old (such as running through a long map you already beat 10 levels ago to set a midget on fire). But it still beats playing a few hours just to beat one mission (friggin' General Knoxx's Armory).
I originally thought this game would be less fun by myself. In some ways, it is less fun. Carrying items with limited capacity (maximum of 27 with all the upgrades) which makes picking up half the guns difficult and general playing with yourself aren't things everybody enjoys (... yeah, that's a sentence, I guess). Still, I am rather enjoying my play through I got myself to do by myself (I am my play I got myself to do myself...?).
::Summary::
If you're unsure of whether you want the a console version of a PC version, I recommend PC. I played this on Xbox 360 with one brother and on the PC with another brother and I like the PC version more. At the very least, if you want to sign up with a shift account, keys are easier to enter on PC. Also, the Xbox 360 Controller works with the PC version quite well.
If you played the first Borderlands, you may find many things in this one a welcome addition. Such as comparing guns, more unique skills/perks, and a much better story. I have yet to try any DLC aside from the Mechromancer (which, I enjoy), so I can't say if they did anything about the travel stations in the DLCs (something I found a major pain in, again, General Knoxx's Armory). Maybe I'll update on that later.
If you haven't played the first game and are looking for a nice cooperative game, I can recommend Borderlands 2. If you're more interested in a cooperative shooting game, I strongly recommend this. If you're looking for a cooperative shooting game with leveling up features, it's hard to think of something better.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2012Platform For Display: PCEdition: StandardVerified PurchaseBought B2 a few weeks ago. Downloaded and installed OK. The game is enjoyable. Today, bought the DLC Season Pass. Big mistake. The download somehow disabled the STEAM account. Worked to fix it for 4 hours. No luck, customer support is almost non existent. So many confusing hoops, it is either intentional or incompetence.
As for Borderlands 2, the game without Steam would be rated a 4. But since Steam won't let me play my $60 game, I guess it would have to be rated 0 fun.
Before you call me an ignorant noob. For 7 years I was a computer engineer supervising a department of 50 other software developers. I can recognize bad design, and Steam has it in spades.
To sum up: my Steam account is broken, therefore all Steam based games are unusable. Lots of folks may be happy with Steam. but I for one will NEVER buy another Steam product.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 4, 2012Platform For Display: PCEdition: StandardVerified PurchaseDon't be mislead by the title of the review the game is well worth you time and money. Fun gameplay, excellent visuals, plenty of humor, enough content and variety to last you for weeks.
...just don't expect everything to be perfect, character classes are somewhat unbalanced, gameplay is artificially extended (i.e. you just spent 2 hours doing big quest pretty much clearing out an area, after you report the quest you get the next quest in the chain... in the same area with the same enemies and locations), occasional technical glitches.
- Reviewed in the United States on November 23, 2012Platform For Display: PCEdition: StandardVerified PurchaseThis game has no difficulty settings, so if you play Solo, plan to die over and over, especially after level 18! So if you are solo and you have to face 100 enemies, that is 100 to 1 vs. if play with 4 others, which is 20 to 1 (at least manageable). The game does not adjust for the number of players (team size) which seems rather unfair for Solo play. You can go online and read how fustrated people are playing the game in solo mode. However, there is a couple of tricks in the game to help you get better weapons. Anybody who says this game is easy in Solo mode is either cheating or lying. I have over 100 games (PC), and this game pushed my patients to the edge. I actually quit 2x at level 20 and packed up the game till I read how to get better weapons using the golden rings edit (go on Youtube). You will still face overwhelming odds in Solo mode but at least you now have a chance to move foward.
Overall, I really liked Borderlands, so this game is a great expansion of that game. Although, I do not see much improvements in graphics or gameplay - not sure why they just didn't keep making more expansions and selling them instead. I can not tell BL2 from BL1? I wish they would add more variety in the creatures and enemies (like expansion packs did for previous game).
Gameplay if you are part of a team, 4 Stars
Gameplay if Solo,1 Star & pure fustration after L18! By far the most fustrating Solo game ever played!
but... with semi-cheat of improved weapons Gameplay Solo, 3 Stars
For those who say Solo is easy, PLEASE post on youtube your level 18-20, with the weapons at that level (no special weapons or cheat - and we will know by watching video if you cheated! LOL). I want to see someone get through the whole level without dying, using the simple weapons they give you vs. 50 heavily armed robots.... :)

ArsedymiumReviewed in Japan on April 13, 20134.0 out of 5 stars これは面白い
Platform For Display: PCEdition: StandardVerified Purchase友人に勧められての購入です
はっきり言って僕が欲しいゲームではありませんでしたし
いつか買おう・・・程度のゲームだったのであまり期待してませんでした
しかし蓋を開けてみれば相当のめり込んでプレイしてしまうほどのゲームでした
簡単にどんなゲームか?と言われると難しいですが
基本的にはFPS+RPGと言う感じのゲームですね
それに大きなCo-op要素と武器のコレクション要素を組み込んだゲームと言う感じでしょうか
他にもFPS+RPGというゲームはよくありますが(スカイリム、Falloutなど)このゲームはどちらかと言うと
FPS要素に大きく力を入れている印象があります。
シューティングに強い自信がある人にとってはいい腕試しになるでしょう(ちなみにエイムアシスト機能もあるので自信がない人のカバーもしっかりできている)
Co-op要素も良く出来ていて、Co-opを多くの友人と一斉にやればやるほど、「武器」がよりレアな物がドロップする仕組みとなっています
僕は悲しい事に友人が少ないのですが、フレンドが多い方なら友人とやると盛り上がる事間違い無しです!
武器のコレクション要素についてなのですが
これは想像として、無料オンラインゲームなどのガチャ(課金等をして確率でレアな武器が当たるというアレ)などを想像してもらい、そこから課金などの要素を失くし、入手条件としてガチャなどではなく、「相手を倒す、もしくは宝箱を見つけ開ける」という行動によって武器を入手できる物だと考えてください
課金ゲームなどでコレクションにのめり込み、どんどんお金をつぎ込んでしまう人にとっては、おそらくはまれるゲームだと思います。課金制ではないのでおさいふにも優しいです。僕もそういうタイプなので、楽しめます。
また、上記で「ガチャなどではない」一応ガチャというか、そういう位置づけのものがありますが
それも課金制ではなく、「Shift」コードと呼ばれる公式で配布されているモノによって引く事ができます
購入後、再度買う物と言えばDLCぐらいです
あと評価すべき点としてグラフィックとローカライズがあると思います
他の方のレビューでも多く言われていることなので長くは書きませんが
グラフィックは独特で、リアルではないですが、これはこれで美しいです
ローカライズは完璧です。所々に挟まれているネタ、ジョークもボーダーランズの魅力だと思いますが、それも完璧に日本人にわかるネタに替わっています。それらも思わず笑ってしまうようなネタです。
ちなみに日本語化はこの製品でも完璧に可能です
日本語化パッチなどではなく、公式で完全に対応しています
(どっかのメーカーが某ゲームを30ドルで日本語でプレイできる権利を売る事が話題になってますが・・・。)
星-1の理由は、ちょっと重いことです
Geforce Experienceで最適設定にした上で
i7 3770
16GB
GTX680
という環境ですが、重い時は本当に重くて、FPSも30を切るようなことがあります
最新のゲームなので、もしかしたら仕方がないのかもしれませんね。
おすすめです。シビアな対人系FPSにつかれた方、FPSの経験がない方、無料ゲームに課金をしてお金がない方、RPGが好きな方、たくさんの人にオススメ出来ます。
