Borderlands The Pre-Sequel Walkthrough and Review(Description)Part 4-KJS
0NOTE; Most of the other reviews are outdated. They were right at one point, but the game has taken a turn for the better
If you haven't played Borderlands 2 yet, I highly recommend at least playing through the main story of that game before picking up this one.
The game takes place on Pandora's moon, Elpis, and just like the games before it, you take control of one of four Vault Hunters, and you shoot your way through waves of bandits, psychos, hostile wildlife and an entire military force to open a vault. However, this game does have many different features to it that make it unique, and a lot of returning features.
Pros;
+Lazer weapons. A very welcome tool for your arsenal. They range from rapid fire assault rifles to shotguns to railguns
+Cryo weapons. I wanted these very badly in 2, and my wish got granted. They restrict affected enemies movements and makes them vulnerable to melee attacks (mind that it does the same to you)
+Vending Machines are now somewhat relevant. In 1 and 2 I didn't even bother looking in gun vending machines, but now that you're able to buy purple and orange rarety weapons, they actually have a purpose now
+Manuverability. This is what really defines this game out of the series. The low gravity on Elpis allows acrobatic gunfights and more importantly; butt slams (or ground pounds. But butt slam is more fun)
+Grinder. You can grind lower rarety weapons into better weapons of a higher rarety. Not an 100% chance of a higher rarety, but its a good way to get rid of some of your white and green guns
+Classes. Skill trees are the same setup (I mean that as a good thing), and the classes are very unique... hopefully they'll have enough ideas for three
Cons;
-Side Quests. While the main quest's dialouge is interesting, and the gameplay is great, most side quests are just flat out dull in speech and gameplay. Too many fetch missions, that lead to more fech missions. Granted some do reveal how things came to be in time for 2, and others are funny enough to be redeemed, most aren't worth the EXP.
-Lazy Raid Boss. Bosses now respawn (that was an issue for a while), but the first and only raid boss of the base game is the final boss with more health and higher damage output. While I still did enjoy murdering it, I would much rather prefer something new and fresh.
-Shorter than 2. It has 13-14 chapters versus the 18 chapters 2 had.
-Terrain. The game has many cool areas, with multiple ways to kill you. The only problem is, falling to your death is a little too easy at times. The manuverability I talked about before helps this, unless you're in a vehicle.
Neutral things
*Oxygen. When in a vacuum, you must rely on your oxygen supply to live (surprising right). Oxygen also allows you to double jump and butt slam, so be sure to keep an eye on it.
*Many returning weapons. A lot of weapons are similar to 2, so it should be a somewhat familiar experience with the loot.
*Moonstones. The new Eridium. Used for ammo upgrades, moonstone chests (spend them to get purple rarety weapons/gear) or that lame raid boss I was talking about earlier. So mostly ammo.
If you loved 2, you'll love this game. I love this game, so it pains me to say this; buy it on sale. Sure the gameplay is great, but the quests seem tedious and lack luster, and while the Claptastic Voyage DLC redeems this, a game shouldn't rely on DLC to fix itself.
(This is my first review, so please give me some feedback on how I could improve my writing, or any spelling or gammatical errors.)
