Borderlands: For The Pre-Sequel [360/PS3/PC]

[demi]

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.

I got the reference in the title. 

[Takao]

Making this exclusively last gen seems dumb.

[Eel O'Brian]

Why so? A customer base of many millions.

Also, I bet you get this in the PS4/XB1 BORDERLANDS COMPLEAT port somewhere down the line.

[Rufus]

The environment is going to be so boring...

[huckleberry]

Making this exclusively last gen seems dumb.

pc version confirmed is all that matters anyway.

[Himu]

how long until this gets boring like BL2? I like BL2, but the loot gets pretty Or am I playing wrong

[cool breeze]

when the real sequel is taking too long these companies always resort to prequels

[Great Rumbler]

I really liked Borderlands 2, but...

[Human Snorenado]

I never finished BL2, but I put a good 40+ hours into it and a bunch of the expansion material. I'll buy this on a Steam sale someday.

[Eel O'Brian]

I beat the main storyline, but I didn't complete all the side stuff or all the dlc.

[CatsCatsCats]

I probably spent like 10 hrs on 2, but I got it for like 8 bucks or something, so I feel I got my money's. would consider buying this bargain bin.

[The Sceneman]

 

Gearbox aren't getting a cent from me until they make another Duke Nukem game. Borderlands is the most try-hard game of all time, they want to be funny so bad

[The Sceneman]

A new Duke game built from the ground up would be awesome - hell, Duke RPG which is just re-skinned Borderlands would be fine, provided Duke talks and says cool shit.

Duke Nukem = funny and cool

Borderlands = unfunny to the point of cringe, lame ass characters

[huckleberry]

I went complete special fellow on B2 and plan to do more of the same with this one.

[Eel O'Brian]

Blow it out your ass

[benjipwns]

the most try-hard game of all time, they want to be funny so bad

...unfunny to the point of cringe, lame ass characters

Thus why Gearbox wanted the Duke Nukem license.

[The Sceneman]

[Raban]

c'mon sceneman you gotta be trolling. Duke Nukem's humor is the EXACT kind of lazy, referential humor that Borderlands' is. Saying one is better than the other is like saying shit smells better than poop.

[Human Snorenado]

Sometimes I forget that sceneman is a beautiful and unique snowflake with possible brain damage

[Trent Dole]

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

Sounds like Duke Nukem then!

(Okay, okay: Duke 3D was kinda funny back in the day. But everyone played it for the pixelated titties than anything)

[Great Rumbler]

One of the internet's greatest moments.

[pilonv1]

We call them New Zealanders

[Cerveza mas fina]

Sceneman is right that Borderlands tries very hard, but he is wrong in saying that Duke is better.

Duke is trying even harder now, original duke was cool because he took himself serious.

Anyhoo Borderlands is a snoozefest so whatevs. Im holding out for Hellgate London for my fps loot fix.

[demi]

I have the GOTY for BL2. I need a crew to roll with to do them.

[chronovore]

I keep meaning to play some Borderlands, and end up doing something else. It's OK. I'm probably the only person who is interested in the Telltale adventure game coming out than this stuff.

MORAL AMBIGUITY! TASTE THE NIETZSCHEAN INNER CONFLICT MOTHERF%&$#R!
THE ABYSS GAZES ALSO INTO YOU

[Rufus]

I appreciate the meme flagellations at the end, but I kept thinking that this has gotta sting creatively. "We listened "
Also, does anyone do previews any more? Because this video shows why they're obsolete.

[Human Snorenado]

Mr. Torgue!

Might pre-order with the GMG 25% off code. Or maybe I'll just wait for Winter Steam Sale.

"WHISPERING!" is what got me, too. Man.

I was uninterested in this, and now I am. Good job, marketing.

[Human Snorenado]

Can't wait for the same sad bastards to get their panties in a bunch over the humor and have to retire to their fainting couches once again

Might give this my Cruncheons goty just to piss them off

[benjipwns]

It's such an old and straightforward joke but it's rarely done right. They did really well to have Torgue not stop long for it.

[Joe Molotov]

A CONTINUOUS LASER BEAM JUST LIKE THE ONE FROM THAT MOVIE GHOST DAD

[benjipwns]

FOR ALL THE STUFF THAT'S NEW IN GHOST DAD, EVERYTHING YOU LIKED IS BACK

[huckleberry]

I need word on a 4 pack. Surely they will have one but it's not up yet.

I could be in on a 4 pack

[benjipwns]

IT IS SCIENTIFICALLY THE BEST THING IMAGINABLE

[Human Snorenado]

I'll probably give in to the hype and end up buying it at some point this week.

[Trent Dole]

I never got that far in two, stuck on some timed mission. Ought to reroll a better class for soloing and stomp through I guess.

[Olivia Wilde Homo]

Is that loser Anthony Burch the writer of this game?  If so, pass.

[benjipwns]

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.

That fucking video.

Small deal for the game, this is where I got it from, they didn't process the payment until they had the preload keys which is pretty cool:

22% off with DLG-LAVBKAJD on DLGamer
Borderlands: The Pre-Sequelest.: $46.79

[Rufus]

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.

[Human Snorenado]

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

 

[benjipwns]

But it has it this time, probably the deepest story of the year! THE ABYSS GAZES ALSO INTO YOU!

That's not the argument, but whatever.

Still waiting on the 4 pack to show up...getting a little tense though. If you are still up for it and I haven't given in and just bought 3 separate copies then we should do this.

[huckleberry]

Funstockdigital has the game for 45.02 (up apparently from 42.00 last week). Might have to go this route to save a little money if the 4 pack is a no go.

[a slime appears]

Played a bunch last week. Really didn't like how goddamn slow you are in the moon.

[huckleberry]

Is it that bad? I was worried about the sluggish shit too but haven't played it.

[a slime appears]

I played at events so I never played straight through from the beginning. My limited time with the game was always in the moon segments with random characters so my impressions are really limited.

Anyways, after a while you get used to it but my very first impression was that it was slow as fuck, floaty, and honestly not fun because of that. Then I got into a Moon Buggy it was ok.
