The Pre-Sequel tells the story of how Jack came to become the villain of Borderlands 2, with you helping his (initially well-meaning) rise to eventual super-villainy.
In the demo Athena and Willhelm are trying to storm a Hyperion base in order to stop a giant death-ray that's blasting lumps out of the moon.
The lack of atmosphere has a couple of gameplay implications: Firstly you need to keep your oxygen meter topped up by collecting O2 canisters, which drop in the same way as other loot.
Not fun in itself, but you can also vent these to enable double jumps and to power jetpacks. This creates cool platforming opportunities—one massive jump sees the characters land on a pillar of moon rock, below which lava from a laser strike flows—and adds a pleasing verticality to the shootouts as enemies whizz around.
You can also shoot out their helmets to rob them of air. As if being shot in the face wasn't already inconvenience enough.
Making this exclusively last gen seems dumb.

pc version confirmed is all that matters anyway.
Gearbox aren't getting a cent from me until they make another Duke Nukem game.
Duke Nukem = funny and cool
Borderlands = unfunny to the point of cringe, lame ass characters
the most try-hard game of all time, they want to be funny so bad
provided Duke talks and says cool shit.Thus why Gearbox wanted the Duke Nukem license.
...unfunny to the point of cringe, lame ass characters
:ufup :trash

I enjoyed Borderlands one and all but nothing in it or the sequel is as wonderful as this:

I need word on a 4 pack. Surely they will have one but it's not up yet.
I'll probably give in to the hype and end up buying it at some point this week.I gave in when some site had a 30% off coupon. Then right before I checked out I watched the video again to "confirm" my judgment.

Is that loser Anthony Burch the writer of this game? If so, pass.I think so, but the last (?) trailer makes it clear that "[they] listened" and are gonna tone the meme humour down.
Can't wait to include this in my end of the year GOTY list and rustle the jimmies of the wanker crowd
"I'm sorry, I'd like a little more seriousness in my cartoony, over the top violence sci-fi shooter, thank you very much"
Bunch of fucking assholes
:pacspit

talking about rustled jimmies but you're still so mad over this :dead
I have still yet to have someone explain to me how the meme humor actually detracted from their enjoyment of the game, other than "I am a humorless choad sack"
I mean, let's all complain about a game where the main villain taunts you about having a diamond encrusted pony named butt stallion, brehs (also, that shit is funny, and if you don't think so, please throw yourself in the nearest wood chipper)
Game looks fun. But like most things I'll wait for a sale. Borderlands is like the perfect game to pick up on sale.The Australia factor makes me want to wait for a sale
i played for about 80 minutes. got to a part where i got a buggy and had to jump over a ridge. tried like 5 times and failed the jump every time and quit the game.
Memes > Australians
:tocry
