Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is going to be a standalone game set before Borderlands 2 and after Borderlands 1 and follows Handsome Jack's rise to power.

The game introduces 4 new classes, with 2 of them being NPC's from the second game.

Here's a short video explaining it in more detail.



The game is set to release towards the end of 2014 on Xbox 360, PS3 and PC.

 

You get to play claptrap... fuck this I am stealing something to pay for this game.

 

This looks awesome, I'm probably going to buy it pretty fast after it's released. I love me some Borderlands.

 

unsure if i will get, was never able to finish the previous ones

 

Will get just so I can have it in my library and never play it like borderlands 1 and 2 yissss

 

YES @Hooch GET YOUR ASS IN GEAR

 

But will there be gambling?

 

bumpy bumpy

 

posting another vid to continue my lonely, solo hype for this

 

I somehow totally missed this. This is fucking amazing!!!

 

Oh looks it's more of the same

I'll buy it

 

What Sheep said, I feel like they're beating a dead horse. Nothing new.. :/

 

I'm really interested in the story though.

 

i am hype and i will pro-order this friend

 

Probably will be a lot of fun, but I can't shake the fact it will be the same game as before.


Will still probably through my money at it

 

want to play it but i can't. But heck that music in the video is awesome. I can get it out of my head

I play games such as Deus Ex or Fallout for the exploration, the level design (well, that is Deus Ex really), the story, all the various tidbits random people say, the random things you find, the references, et cetera. Which is why I find Dead Money to be an absolutely amazing DLC and which is why the original Deus Ex is still enjoyable for me. I don't play Civilization to win, to give another random example, as I almost never finish any game I start playing. I play it to, well, have fun. Role playing, sort of? It's also why I play games very slow, and do a lot of backtracking and all. Inventory mods are a must for Fallout, so I can grab literally everything I can find.

I'm not saying combat isn't fun - it is! - but if Borderlands was combat without quests or a storyline I'd enjoy it less. Borderlands 1 and 2 are fun, they're good games, and I do intend to somehow get more DLC one day, but this prequel has, on top of that, great potential when it comes to the story; Jack, Wilhelm, Claptrap, the rise to power... Sounds awesome! And considering the former Borderlands games were fun, this one should be even more fun.

 

I just saw that you can now pre order it!! Woooo...

so who will be getting this?

 

Embarrassingly i've had it preordered since May
