Today’s game is Borderlands the Pre-Sequel. Me and a Friend are getting ready for something tomorrow. So we were low on time. We ended up playing some Borderland to save on time. I played claptrap. I don’t have much of a story this time due to just not playing very long, so instead I’ll talk about the game.
I can see why this game was so well received back in the day. A lot of the humor still stands up well, at least imo, and the gameplay cycle is fun. One of the guns I had I could throw when I reload and they explode which is incredibly satisfying to do. On top of that Claptraps special perk is fun, especially when it irritates the people I’m playing with, such as one that makes them continuously fire according to my friend. Overall I had a lot of fun just playing around in the game with my friend and doing some side quests.
I played Athena then because I liked her design and after seeing her in Tales from the Borderlands. If I ever replay the game I would try the more “out there” option like Claptrap.
Honestly now that I wrote it out I remember TPS maps weren’t as fun as BL2’s hence me not replaying the game back then.
I quite liked the maps myself and the story whilst perhaps a little to obvious was fun.
My biggest problem was the enemy/mission level scaling which found you falling behind the main story mission quite easily making for some either very tough fights or some less than thrilling side quest farming.
Oh and how long it took to unlock weapon slots 3 & 4. Such a slog!
