Talk to me about some of the new weapons and customization. I did, however, LOVE the guns in the first game. There are a lot more action oriented events and more moments that actually change the course of the story that will surprise the player in interesting ways. The plot has a bunch of surprises to keep you on your toes. Throughout all of your adventures, whether it be plot or optional side missions, the quirky and fun characters that make up the Borderlands cast will be in constant touch with you providing valuable and entertaining information to keep you engaged. The story in Borderlands 2 is much more ever-present. What can you tell me about the direction of the story this time around that’s going to get me excited again? I have to admit-I didn’t love the story, and especially the ending of the original Borderlands.
HANDSOME JACK FACE LILLITH KILS FREE
Our new heroes set off on an adventure to free Pandora from the clutches of Handsome Jack.

He also has an intention of waking a beast called ‘The Warrior’ to help him accomplish these goals. He has used his vast wealth to purchase the intergalactic Hyperion corporation and is now hell bent on civilizing Pandora for fun and major profit.Ĭivilizing for Handsome Jack means killing anyone and anything that stands between him and his goals. Nevertheless the opening of the Vault started a chain of events that leads up to where Borderlands 2 begins.Ī savvy young businessman who calls himself Handsome Jack has exploited the opening of the vault to corner the market on a new alien substance called Eridium that has started to appear since the vault was discovered. So for anyone that hasn’t been paying attention to the trailers, previews or reviews, let’s get into where Borderlands 2 begins in terms of plot and setting after the end of Borderlands.Īt the end of Borderlands, our heroic vault hunters have opened the mythical vault only to be disappointed that it did not contain the promised fortune and glory. The Post Game Report already reviewed the game, but I recently spoke with Paul Hellquist, Creative Director at Gearbox Software, the developer of Borderlands 2, over email to talk about the game. Most are expecting to spend between 80-100 hours on this game, whether it’s via single player (like me) or with friends in co-op. It’s a franchise with an incredibly distinctive look, unexpected humor amidst the violence and an insane amount of missions that you’ll only see in a game like Skyrim. (The lackluster ending from the original was the only reason I was disappointed in that game.) There’s also four new characters for you to choose to play as. The sequel to the surprising RPG shooter from a few years ago is already incredibly popular, thanks to its focus on guns and loot-and hopefully a better storyline. Friends with a gamer in life? Check their Twitter or Facebook pages in the last week or so and you’ll probably see them posting a LOT about a game called Borderlands 2.
