#BORDERLANDS 2 DLCS RANKED SERIES#
I like the direction the series has taken, but it also made this game more interesting to play after 170hrs of BL2 and Pre-Sequel. Something that, again, is not necessarily negative. I also feel like Gearbox must have reused some of the assault rifle models from Brothers in Arms here, which adds to this game feeling a little less cartoony. You can definitely still see the “gritty” roots, it’s the most greyish, dire looking game of the bunch – which on the one hand makes it less interesting compared to other games, but more so compared to the other entries in the franchise itself. I also like the skilltrees post BL1 better. It’s good, solid, it has a great cast (Scooter, Moxxi, all the heroes from the first game, Hammerlock), more customization options compared to BL1 and the graphics embrace the cartoonish look more than the first game did. This one has pirates, which should speak for itself. Captain Scarlett and her Pirate’s BootyĪs is probably clear by now, I think very highly of a lot of the BL2 dlc, they are mostly very well made products. I like the structure of the dlc as fights on your way to the top. And a whole new type of rare (glitch) weapons that are pretty awesome. It has all the gameplay benefits of the pre-sequel, an interesting storyline with a number of references even back to the first game, and also new environments and enemies in its very own “cyber”-style.
#BORDERLANDS 2 DLCS RANKED PLUS#
It has completely different environments and enemies, plus an allstar cast of borderlands characters. It does the thing Bastion and Call of Juarez Gunslinger do: change the game around you as the story gets told. And finally I also like the moon specific stuff: the added verticality and air control in low gravity feel great, the butt stomp is the thing I missed most when playing the previous games, and the oxygen is not a hindrance at all and instead something of a slight tactical consideration when fighting enemies. Usability aspects are improved, like waypoints directing you to fast travel points. Characters don’t just talk to themselves, they react to others and to what’s happening, which – besides the Tiny Tina and the Claptrap dlc – makes this the only story I actually care about to some degree. It does have the dumbest name, but there are several things that made it my clear No.1: the stingray is the best vehicle in the whole series, I feel like every other vehicle at best is unbothersome, but that one’s actually fun to use. And it is of course just as highly scientific as these other ranking formats that shall not be named. So instead – and unlike other, obviously inferior rankings - this is an exhaustive list of all relevant borderlands content, ranked from best to worst. Hello! I thought about making this an actual (my first!) blog about my experience finishing all Borderlands games + all story dlc for the first time in 2016, but I figured there’s actually not that much to write about – after all it is very much a podcast game that most people play while doing something else.
