![]() I refreshed myself with Borderlands: GOTY Edition on my Surface Book 2, and while it can run things fairly well, I didn’t get the chance to see how things would look in glorious 4K. ![]() I also dislike the way in which Borderlands inundates you with menu text to issue and prep you for new missions thankfully, this specific method of delivery has been corrected with Borderlands 2 and The Pre-Sequel. In getting through Borderlands: GOTY Edition‘s tutorials, I was just about ready to throw my laptop out a window after having to suffer through Claptrap’s, “look at me! I’m dancing! I’m dancing!” or “I’m over here!” numerous times. I’d be lying if I said Borderlands was for me I’m partial to its cel-shaded presentation but I don’t align with its humour at all. And that’s about the highest compliment I can give the game, really. Even better, a decent compare feature makes it easy to assess what you’ve picked up and whether or not you want to keep it. Whereas players of Destiny 2 - and more on-the-nose, Anthem - might have to grind for hours for a decent god-roll weapon (or a high-level drop at all), Borderlands excels by constantly throwing loot at a player’s face. Weapon proficiencies are also in the mix, gaining their own unique type of XP as you use a class of weapon. Turning in quests and dispatching earns XP, which in turn are used to populate various skill trees as you level up.Not only can you apply points to specialise your unique ability, but dabble in other professions the Soldier can become the medic by shooting allies and restoring health in the process, as an example. The Soldier makes use of an automated turret, the Hunter an aggressive pet bird of prey, the Siren can turn invisible and gains speed and the Berserker gains damage-resistance while essentially in Hulk mode. The Vault Hunters defined the looter shooter’s classes, offering four unique characters with their own special ability. As the player, you can choose to go Pandora alone or team up with three other players variations on the latter are definitely preferred as lone wolves will find the environments, originally designed in 2009, quite sparse, brown and samey. Playing as one of four Vault Hunters, you set off on a quest to claim the prizes for yourselves, fighting off bandits, mega-rich corporations and Pandora’s wildlife along the way. ![]() The original Borderlands is set in the barren world of Pandora, where children grow up learning of a fabled vault of extraterrestrial origins filled to the brim with riches and power. Since we’ve reviewed the former titles - alone and bundled together as The Handsome Collection - before, we’re here to talk about the latter. ![]() On the eve of more news on Borderlands 3, 2K and Gearbox have done their damndest to rekindle your interest in the franchise with ultra HD textures for Borderlands: The Pre-Sequeland Borderlands 2 alongside a fancy new release called Borderlands: Game of the Year Edition. Whether you love Destiny, The Divisionor even Anthem, you really have Borderlands to thank for the good ol’ looter shooter. ![]()
