Mas de lo mismo, un Borderlands 1 "Enhanced", si se juegan de corrido junto al uno resulta muy pesado y repetitivo.

A big improvement over the original. It's faster-paced with bigger action and more refined gameplay. In a way, the first "Borderlands" feels like a blueprint for this bigger and better sequel. It was one of the best action games of 2012. I'd rate it with a 9 out of 10

This game helped fundamentally shape my person, I think. There's a lot of things worthy of criticizing but nothing will ever touch me the way Borderlands 2 did.

One of the greatest multiplayer games of all time, so many great memories of split screen back on the 360. A game I always come back to, great story, gameplay and progression.

Benim için güzel bir deneyimdi. Karakter tasarımları, silah çeşitliliği, renk paletleri ve görsel tarzı gayet iyiydi. Hikayesi çok içine çekmese de yeterli düzeyde diyebilirim. Bence oyunun en büyük sorunu bir noktadan sonra oyun fazlasıyla kendini tekrarlıyor. Sürekli aynı şeyleri yapıyormuş gibi hissettim.

This is one of the greatest games that has been produced and not only became the gold standard for all looters shooters but also encapsulates what it means to have fun it tells a simple yet rich story with some of the must fun and engaging charcter interaction and memorable quotes the only downside is that the lava is rising

Definitely one of the worst sequels I've ever played. I can't for the life of me understand why people even like this game, let alone consider it better than the amazing first title. In stark contrast to the first game's fairly consistent pacing, minimalist story-telling, abundance of loot, and loads and loads of locations (including multiple large hub levels), this **** sequel has about 1/4 of the loot (with loot crates being bewilderingly rare in this game, to the point that I could only find 2 of the more valuable red crates in the whole damn game, compared to dozens being appropriately littered throughout every level in the first game!), much fewer locations (maybe like 2 or 3 hub levels compared to double that in the first), and an attempt at a more cohesive story with more of a pronounced 3 act structure which fails miserably because having voice actors talking directly into your head over the radio the whole damn game is more annoying than anything, especially with the cringe-inducing black comedy direction this game decided to catapult itself into (much like how the MCU firmly committed to being non-stop jokey crap after "Thor 3"). Just awful, and it frustrates me that all of these insane downgrades in game content are all no doubt because this game blatantly gate-kept most of its content behind paid DLCs, something which not nearly enough people complain about (it's like this game came out in some weird time when people were allergic to their own money or something). I'll play it co-op with my friends any day, and the music is pretty good, but the sheer chore of starting any new playthrough and being stuck with the same lousy pistol and shotgun for the first 4 hours really discourages me from that anyway. This is just not much fun outside of very small pockets in co-op, and the lack of any decent loot really makes this a low bar for looter shooters in my opinion. This game almost actively punishes the player with lots of empty levels, poorly paced quests that are much worse on subsequent playthroughs (largely because most of them are built around cringe-inducing punchlines rather than actual solid gameplay), and an insulting lack of loot that practically spits in the face of sensible game design. Someone please explain to me why people like this game? This should've been getting **** on by fans of the first game from jump. Instead, it's yet another sequel that we enabled to push its series into bad habits. I heard Borderlands 3 has a much more annoying big bad duumvirate and it's no wonder when the main bad guy in this one is a Hate Sink that spends most of the game shouting into your ear about how evil he is (making for loads of incredibly predictable jokes). The whole design of this game feels juvenile and lacks in any real artistry, to the point that it sometimes feels genuinely unfinished. It's telling that I had to install a mod which multiplied the amount of loot to make the game even remotely playable.

Игра полна отсылок, чёрного юмора и абсурдных моментов. Сайд-квесты часто веселее основной истории.

Very nice shooter, in particular two players split screen it's pure fun!
You will spend many time to kill enemies, but also to choose what characteristic of your player you would improve (with 2 different methods: level (big improvement) and token (small but frequent improvement)!. To mention the time you'll spend to find the perfect weapon! Spoiler: you'll never find it ha ha ha!!! Number of bullet, fire frequency, time for reload, damage will always allow you to find a better weapon with games progress. That's a must have with any doubt!

You know how people say that they play single player instead of multiplayer for a calmer gaming experience? Yeah that's not this game. I have no idea why they couldn't put checkpoints after each mission objective is completed or something. Instead, they leave reloading stations which charge you money every time which is great in theory. But what happens when there's glitches like a door not opening after a bossfight? Well that **** for you cause you have to do the bossfight all over again. Don't get me started on the mission at the Wildlife Exploitation Preserve. I've just finished the fourth bossfight after doing the first three like four times. I redid all the bossfights because the game glitched and decided not to open the doors, making me reload the game, redo the bossfights, finish what was hopefully the last bossfight only for that bossfight to end with the health bar disappearing, the objective not completing and no doors opening. You want a game that will drain the life out of you? Play Borderlands 2

Very bitter-sweet, similar to BL1. The world is vast and diverse, but exploration is made very dull by omnipresent garbage loot, very few interesting NPCs, and repetitive (and respawning) enemies. Regrettably, the game doesn't do much to engage the player emotionally with its main protagonists either, and it took me almost until the end of the game to actually start to care about them. Still, the world is beautifully designed and combat is reasonably fun, so it wasn't too bad an experience.

O ponto mais alto da franquia, Borderlands 2 apresenta tanto conteúdo que impressiona. Seus gráficos estilizados, sua gameplay fluida, seu humor ácido e suas quests criativas tornam a experiência uma verdadeira montanha-russa de divertimento. Jogue com amigos.

I still don't understand how a game with such insufferable dialogue, that is such a product of it's time that it almost removes the nostalgia for the early 2010's, can give some of the best looter shooter gameplay out there at the same time

Best looter shooter i have played. Its a perfect sequel doubling down on everything, expanding, and improving its systems. Story is solid, handsome jack is a really fun villain and a lot of the characters here are memorable enough, with fun facts, like tina and her lazy eye. The main problem is the lack of acknowledgement of the vault hunter a lot of times when you do something they take the credit, especially in the ending even tho you are really fundamental to everything you are seen as a mere tool, that is also a 4 man army. Gameplay is incredible, sound design isnt the best but aside from that it has really good atributes, incredible gunplay, gun variety and design, that makes you play the game in various aproaches along with lots of enviroments, snow, hills, deserts and wastelands with varying color palette and ageless art style of sobel. Good enemy variety robots, bandits, psychos each with its own unique enemies, goliaths, constructors, drones and badasses, my only gripe is that you might be fighting robots most of the time (main campaign). Soundtrack isnt really memorable there is a couple good ones but nothing that stands out. Classes are really good, varied with a lot of potential and playstyles and techniques to learn. DLC is really good (except hammerlock one). Tons of easter eggs to games movies comics and books. And not only as cheap as 10$ it has a lot of replay value and lot of content. Farming is mostly optional but rewarding AF and satisfactory too. And there is some unintentional techniques that enhances the game like rocket jumping.
Some issues are incredibly unbalanced endgame where you really need to know the game to survive, and limits a lot your build potential and makes raid bosses something almost impossible without glitching or cheesing. Characters sometimes can be so broken they are boring. A lot of weapons are unusuable in UVHM. Conection issues from time to time. Lacks a lot of qol stuff that is in 3. A lot of side missions feel unrewarding. Vehicles could be better. Shops and slot machines are interesting but needs better rewards or better probability (shops feel a lot better in TPS). Altough humor is pretty nice a lot of times there is cringe and toilet jokes.

this is a perfection of the borderlands 1 formula the gameplay is even better It doesn't have character building issues because the trees are so much better balanced every character is very fun to play with and doesn't feel super constricting to one play style and it has the best loot system I have ever seen as well the 360 version is very well optimized for playing with poor Wi-Fi this game has so much flavor and so much heart in it it's unbelievable, just an amazing game something that I would recommend playing through but I will warn the final boss is a little bit of a pushover

BL2 is a super fun looter shooter. It also features one of the best written video game villains ever.

major QoL gameplay improvements over BL1. Has the best story in the series, and better pacing than BL3, but the gunplay is not satisfying as BL1 or BL3. It's good as a standalone first-time intro to the series, very immersive and arguably the best multiplayer experience too.

- D.A incroyable et unique
- RPG/Hack'N'Slash génial
- Histoire prenante avec une bonne touche d'humour et de sérieux
- Le Beau Jack est génial
- DLC très chouettes

The game starts good and with a little bit of funny humor, after that it takes too long to kill with short amount of ammo too much enemies, then repeating, you have to start from places where you already went, you get lost and you lose yourself, the map in this game helps in the beginning but in the middle of the game it's nearly impossible to find your right destination because the places are too huge. I hope that games like this will not be produced again because i already played 10 years before this game came out excellent games like Zelda Ocarina of time that were worth to play.

A product of it's time, but in it's time it was like nothing else. Too much time played in smelly basements next too friends to rate it as poorly as its held up.

Un shooter de looteo de los mejores, con personajes que saben destacar por sus personalidades muy variadas, contenido de sobra y logra hacer sentir al jugador como si tuviera las armas en sus propias manos, ademas de tener una infinita variedad para el gusto del que sea

Borderlands 2, while a solid entry in the series, didn't quite capture my heart the way the first game did. It seemed like the weapon generation system was a bit less refined, resulting in weapons that felt of lower quality and with less attention to detail. Additionally, I remember that the inventory menu was somewhat more complicated compared to the first game, which made item management less straightforward.However, the standout feature of this game is undoubtedly the antagonist, Handsome Jack. He is a villain who's both wicked and incredibly charismatic, adding depth and intrigue to the storyline. Despite my reservations about certain changes, the presence of Handsome Jack and his dynamic character brought a unique and enjoyable element to the game.

If I gave ChatGPT a prompt to generate the most average FPS in existence, it would probably be this. Nothing remarkable, no stakes or real purpose, just shooting up funny bad guys with pretty cool graphics. Probably won't keep your attention too much, but it can be fun.

Best part of the series. The look is beautiful, the story hilarious and the gameplay nearly perfect. Overall rating: 9.1.

While undeniably possessing the strongest levels of writing and characterization among any game in the mainline series, I would humbly argue that BL2 has some of the least engaging mechanics and gameplay. If you play this game, it will likely be Handsome Jack (as well as some of the other characters) that keeps you hooked. However, this is not to say that the gameplay on offer is not strong - much of what was on offer in BL1 is still here, but some of its novelty is lost, and I personally saw the removal of some of the more niche RPG mechanics (such as levelling up proficiencies with specific gun types) as a negative. Most people see BL2 as the best game in the franchise, and while I may not personally agree with this opinion, the game is still a great one that 100% deserves to stand alongside the other games in the series, especially due to its strong narrative.

This is the greatest video game of all time. Handsome Jack is the greatest villain in video game history only rivaled by Vaas.

Good game. Various quests and good jokes. My only problem with this franchise overall is that characters only have one skill and your progression is only through guns and passives. I dont have any reason to replay the game with another class, because in the end, its just shoot with your weapon and sometimes use your ability.

Amazing game, every inch of this game is covered in bloody fun from beginning to end. The enemies and bosses combined with the loot grinding never gets old and feels so satisfying when you get an insanely fun drop that changes the way you do combat in the game. The loot in this game is ridiculously diverse and allows so much re-playability along with the six different and unique vault hunters you can use, not to mention being able to switch any weapon from one character to another you have. The story and characters are all done perfectly with a plethora of different takes from comedy to adventure to mystery to suspense to emotional loss to badassery and so much more. The unique world and all its designs give it a less dungeon feel and make it seem all most like an open world. Honestly this game has everything a looter shooter lover could ever want, it sits at number 2 on my list for best games ever played.

It was an amazing improvement from the first part! Also, all the DLC were totally worth it, amazing main and side stories. I really enjoyed hating Handsome Jack

An improvement over the original. This is one of those bigger and better sequels. A must-play for fans of cooperative shooters. It ranks up with Dishonored and Far Cry 3 as one of 2009's best action games. I would rate Borderlands 2 with a 9 out of 10.

Everything the first one had to offer but better! Great story with one of the protagonist (the character I actually chose in part 1), being the leader now.

В 2009 году вышла Borderlands, которую никто не ждал. Во первых ждали совсем другую, визуально игру, во вторых когда узнали, что игра будет с "рисованной" графикой все совсем утратили к ней интерес. Но когда игра вышла, я прошел её просто запоем. Весёлая, самобытная, фантастическая гринделка с невероятной массой оружия. Конечно Borderlands 2 очень ждал, но. В 2012 Borderlands 2 вышла и жестоко меня разочаровала. Хотя говорят, что игру надо проходить в коопе, я играл в одиночку. Так как найти толковых напарников у меня в то время не получилось, а играть по инету с тупыми, незнакомыми малолетками, убегающими от тебя без спроса или вообще покидающими сессию в самый разгар боя, ну это то ещё удовольствие. Игра стала сложнее. Но не геймплейно, а просто враги стали более толстокожими. Поэтому приходится проходить по 5 раз одну и ту же миссию, чтобы поднять себе уровень и наносить хоть какой то видимый урон своим врагам в следующей миссии. По этому кажется просто преступлением невероятно маленькое количество доп миссий, которые можно было бы использовать для гринда. Эта сложность начинает сильно ощущаться где то во второй половине игры. Визуально особых различий с оригиналом я не заметил, по крайней мере на Xbox 360. Геймплейно это всё та же игра 2009 года. С небольшими изменениями. Это всё также одни и те же враги на протяжении всей игры, просто с разными цифрами над головой. По мне отличия состоят только в сюжете. Вообще отличия оригинала и сиквела мне напомнили таковые в Left 4 Dead и Left 4 Dead 2. На бумаге их множество, но что бы увидеть визуально нужна лупа. И так резюмирую. Игра сугубо запрещена для одиночного прохождения. Удовольствие можно получить только в коопе, если таковой подберёте!
