There'll be no added reward for choosing to play any specific way, and there's really no way to specialize your character, just make it slightly stronger. ![]() If you've played previous Borderlands, you know how the skill trees will let you focus your character as a lethal sniper assassin, or an unstoppable tank, or a great support character.īut in TPS there's little to no specialization, which means that adding points in the skill tree basically will not affect your playstyle at all. In an RPG you expect the classes to have diverse skills and uses. Not because they all seem badass, but because they're all kindof generic. In TPS choosing a character is difficult. If you have played previous Borderlands, it resembles its predecessors It has the same graphics, charm, humour and silliness as the series is famous for, but that's just a superficial coat of paint over a deeply flawed, in some cases even broken game. And while for many fans it seems to have lived up to the hype, for me it just didn't. ![]() Borderlands: TPS was a highly anticipated game. If you are a hardcore Borderlands player, or rpg role/stat obsessed it will not be your favorite in the series, if you even enjoy it at all.īorderlands: The pre-sequel is an RPG/FPS/Dungeon crawler, that's a terrible RPG, FPS and Dungeon crawler. It is a fun, entertaining game, especially for the casual player and fan. Overall, TPS is definitely a good follow-up, but not a worthy taker of the crown B2 wears in the series. New enemies and creatures are present, but some are rehashed enemies of Pandora fame. Lots of inside jokes, pop culture references, and several themed missions that are staples to the Borderlands series. It makes sense in the story of the game that many of the inhabitants of Pandora's moon speak in an accent different from those on the surface, nicely accommodating the Aussie voice-talent present. Nothing noticeably different from B2 in looks, and the voice acting is still top-notch. Graphics and sound-wise it is Borderlands through and through. Snapping in is smooth, but good luck making those long shots while airborne or rapidly head-shotting multiple enemies without the help of a particular character's skill. Aim down sight is slow, however, and lacks the speed other Borderland games had. You'll never be lost but you will wish things were a little closer. The map and quests work out just like the other games, with handy little markers leading you to every spot. Freezing and shattering an enemy, while floating out of melee reach is fun, and there are way more places to search out for Easter eggs, loot boxes, and vault symbols given the extra vertical element. This will be a disappointment to hardcore stat obsessed Borderlands fans, as anyone can be generally good at any role.Ĭold effects and the oxygen mechanics are interesting adds, and can definitely be entertaining when utilized efficiently. But if you are playing casually and for the achievements, you'll likely not have the patience nor experience to squeeze every stat boost out of your character. By deep diving stat builds, and seeking out specific guns, shields, and other gear, you can specifically build your character out to be a powerhouse in whatever you choose. But TPS makes every character feel as a jack of all trades, master of none. The previous 2 games gave relatively clear cut paths to assuming a role, if multiplayer was going to be your thing. ![]() The game is no more difficult in mechanics than either B1 or B2, however if you're looking to specialize into a role-playing game classic character (tank, dps, healer, support) you'll need to do some research and play with talent trees to get the best out of every class more so than B1 or B2. It introduces us to several characters briefly encountered in B2, and has some nice chatter that establishes future relationships. This leads to a longer feeling game overall, but as previously stated, a shorter main story line. The side-missions do seem to take longer, with more travel time steps to them. The story, while it feels considerably shorter than the other games, nicely fills in the gaps between B1 and B2. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is a good addition to the Borderlands series, but it may not be the best.
