Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel

Take-Two Terms of Service Last Updated: February 28, 2025 Unilaterally adding a new Terms of Service to a 13 year old game that makes the use of mods a bannable offense and makes it so that they can ban you for sharing bugs or exploits. While I doubt they will use this power they bestowed upon themselves against anyone in BL2 it will certainly be in use for BL4. Randy called people who displayed bugs or mods "Internet Terrorists" and now that company can ban you from all Borderlands games new and old.

Take Two has changed the EULA in 2025 for all Borderlands games to allow data collection in and outside of the games. They also are forcing arbitration on us like Disney did with Disney+. Although I doubt any borderlands theme park will exist, just know you lose rights by accepting the EULA. This game is no longer worth the money online, buy a 360 disc copy of the game instead and play on a 360.

Fun game but all this advertisement up-selling and privacy invasion updates for a game this old is a pretty low blow, ain't it folks? Thanks Take Two very cool, now kindly shoot the floor with the Bee and any splash damaging gun of your choice equipped Death to the EULA

[h1] Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel [/h1] Compared to Borderlands 2 this game is very disappointing. Graphics are similar but the performance is a lot worse. The combat is worse and to progress the main story it feels more grindy. Side missions are not fun to play, and the humor/dialog is very unfunny and annoying. Playable characters are fun to play though, and their voice lines are enjoyable. Better to play/replay Borderlands 1 2 or 3.

Crucify me for saying so if you must, but this is easily the best Borderlands game in the entire franchise (provided you've at least played Borderlands 2 beforehand). The writing is exceptionally tight, the humor is a fresh spin on what the franchise is already known for, and the characters are a g*ddamn delight. While TPS is significantly shorter than BL2, it does in many ways trim the fat, making for an overall tighter gameplay experience. The addition of new elements like low gravity, cryo weapons, and entirely different skillsets than either of the previous games also gives it a certain edge that really nails what makes Borderlands a fun co-op looter shooter RPG series to begin with, especially if you're playing with friends. But even if you're playing solo, it's the story and presentation that really steal the show here. The entire game takes place not in the familiar Mad Max-inspired desert badlands of Pandora, but on the surface of a mining-scarred moon up in outer space. This radical change in setting is also accompanied by making everyone and everything Australian in nature, making it feel like even more of a unique standout entry in the series, and that's honestly where it gets the bulk of its charm. The writing is cheeky, off-the-wall, and decidedly silly at times, but when the major story beats hit, they hit HARD, and that's a huge factor in why I call this game the strongest of the franchise. The DLC for TPS is also 100% worth it, as it adds two ludicrously powerful new characters to play as, and a long-form story DLC with an absurdly hilarious meta premise. Again though, the writing seriously delivers, especially for sharp-eyed players who remember the small details from BL1 and 2. And it's funny as all get-out! The only major caveat is that the game is over 10 years old now, and currently (as of March 2025) suffers a number of small but annoying bugs - mostly related to certain dialog and audio logs not playing correctly. It shouldn't be bad enough to really impact the gameplay for the most part, but seeing as a huge part of the series' draw is its sense of humor and excellent voice over work, it is a bit of a shame when THAT'S the part that bugs out. But yeah, still strongly recommend picking this one up, especially if you've already played BL2 (and to a lesser extent, BL1 as well). Chronologically the story order is 1 > TPS > 2, but I recommend playing them 1 > 2 > TPS for the best experience. Playing with friends is ideal, just make sure whoever plays Claptrap is someone you already like to yell at, because his skill tree gets super spicy in multiplayer!

The game is good, this and multiple other Borderlands titles have a special place in my heart, too bad people in charge are stupid af *cough* Randy (child usb pron, bonus salary stealing, critisism avoiding, franchise ruining, voice actor/staff beating, poop joke liking, twitter manchild) Pitchford. EULA 2025 • Mods are a bannable offense • Saying something in game or using Borderlands content in the back of your discussion/critisism videos that Take-Two deems as offensive/toxic can now warrent a ban or even court. • Display of Cheats/Exploits is bannable • Forced arbitration so long as it is permitted in your region • You can be banned for the using a VPN while connecting to online servers • Cannot access game content on a Virtual PC • They reserve the right to modify this Agreement, in whole or in part, at any time Not only that but they violate your privacy rights by collecting data outside of the game(passwords,browsing history, location, billing info, device and usage data) Seeing in what state they left Pre-Sequel with no dedicated drops, quality of life changes or the rest of the DLC's and then further banning people for using mods such as Community Patch that fixes alot of the problems that the vanilla game was left with is ignorant at best and dim-witted at worst.

Good game. Not as good as 2 or 3. Fun story. Poor late-game gameplay.

new terms of service is pretty much maleware,, they say they can copy your passwords, get your phone number, see what sites you visit, and says you cant use a vpn... and sue you if you criticize there game, SO DO NOT,,, agree with it, id rather you pirate the game at this point.

A good game, but not without its downsides. Excellent gameplay, a huge variety of weapons, a lot of different other loot and there is a small open world. I also liked the implementation of the game in space and the bosses of the game itself, although in co-op I think the game would be a little easier to complete than alone. One minus is saving, the game writes the game is saved, but if you exit the game you will start from the very beginning to go to that mission, but the loot and killing the boss will be saved. There is another unpleasant moment when the Internet crashes, there will be an exit from the game session, the loot will not be saved, but how much money was taken from you is saved. There is only one option to save in the game - this is loading to a new location.

I just completed the game on normal mode with every character and, in my opinion, the most fun character was Nisha. If i play in the future it will probably play TVHM with Nisha.

Lovely game, new EULA changes mean you can be banned for mods in a single player game.

[h1] Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel: 100% COMPLETION REVIEW [/h1] [hr][/hr] [code][b]If you love completing games, take a look at our [url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/44890520/]curator site. [/url][/b][/code] [hr][/hr] Borderlands, but in space! I'm the biggest arse on the moon. *techno music plays* Despite having been released after Borderlands 2, Pre-Sequel is meant to be played before it in storyline terms. Pre-Sequel is a full Borderlands game that is basically just BL2 but with different content and story. We learn Jack's origins, and he was THIS close to being good, but then the Handsome Jackening happened. Character skill trees are a bit more complex than in BL2, with multiple types of stacks, elemental damage types that go together, skills that complement each others in different skill trees even, etc. The new cast of characters is probably the wildest of the franchise: we can play as Jack himself, or a Claptrap unit! Pre-Sequel has many problems that drag it down however, making it an inferior game compared to BL2. One should loathe entering a vehicle in this game, since there's way too many chasms to fall on. Stingray mandatory jumps are infuriating to say the least! Then there's the very, very bad problem: side quests constantly overlap, and characters interrupt each others. One can lose chunks of dialogue several times throughout the game. Quest objectives and locations shouldn't have been concentrated in the same areas. It's a huge flaw in quest design, and it's wack how the developers couldn't foresee something so simple. Claptrap's Claptastic Voyage however, is one of the best DLCs of the entire franchise! It's fun, and we enter Claptrap's mind. Hope and self-esteem can get you anywhere, that's the main lesson we learned, I guess. The road to LVL 50 however, is a herculean task not for the faint of heart. Pre-Sequel should definitely be played by any fan of the Borderlands series, it's a solid entry, while not on par with Borderlands 2. Here's an achievement guide: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=413515219

Where do I even start? I played this with 2 Arabs, not one, but too, pretty crazy, right!? Dude it was like we were exploring Yemen in the year 2030, insane awesome game.

Great sequel not quite as good as 2 but worth time playing

eh it's not the best but not the worst 6/10. movement is janky and story is meh. it's worth it if it's on sale but not otherwise.

Some of the new mechanics and the environment might not be that much fun like in BL1 / BL2, but the story is so damn good. Also this is prolly going to be (so far is) the last Borderlands with such an amazing story... rip bl series and giant thanks to Anthony Burch & co.

Story/world building felt off? Idk there was always something about the game that didn't feel right compared to BL2. However, I think the mechanics, features, and characters of this game were probably some of the most interesting of the series. I also had quite a bit of good fun with it back in the day so I'll give it a recommendation. Though seeing has how it's been 11 years, there's probably better looter shooters out there.

Love all the boarderland games. This one was fun as it had the breathing mechanic and low gravity

Borderlands with floaty physics and a double jump and everyone is an Aussie. late game isn't the best if you were into the whole OP thing in BL2, but the story and guns and stuff are fun

Fun game, had some interesting mechanics, held true to the Borderlands feel with endless loot and a solid story. Would recommend.

This game builds on it's predecessors. more crazy guns, more legendary weapons, more enemies, more areas, more ways to smash, shoot, slice and kill everyone. the story is fun, bombastic and strangely entertaining as always. the characters are annoying as hell, which is kinda the point of Borderlands games. overall, i strongly recommend playing this game if you're into Looter Shooters.

Some of the best vault haunters in the series are in this game, so if you enjoy playing the BL games for the abilities then this one is a must.

As a big Borderlands fan I thought this game was an absolute gem. Not as good as some of the other entries in the series. I am usually not a fan of space-themed games. But I really enjoyed my co-op adventure. Playing Claptrap brought my experience to a whole new level.

I enjoy this game a lot. i think its quite fun gameplay wise and defo a massive jump from the previous game borderlands 2, as all the gun play just feels a bit more solid and less airy than before. but the plot is extremely contrived in many areas and to be honest the progression is quite frustrating. i have found myself dying much more in this game than Borderlands 1, 2 or 3. this game is very middle of the road. worth a shot though, just wait on a sale as i did

loot sucks, enemies are boring. Everything in this game feels like doing chores... just play borderlands 2

After Borderlands 2, I expected more of a subsequent game. Despite the game having lots missions and places to go, walking in zero gravity is very, very annoying. Didn´t like it at all.

people say its bad but i think its really balanced and fun.

Fun game play, entertaining story

Being the last of the mainline games I had left to play. I can say this is by far the worst of the currently released games. I despise the gameplay the characters are neat, but it just has no re-playability. I may not be done with the story yet, but I will not be replaying this game. Don't waste your time on this game it just isn't worth it

Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel is a fantastic addition to the series! It delivers everything you love about Borderlands—hilarious characters, action-packed gameplay, and tons of loot—set on the moon with a cool new twist. The low-gravity mechanics are a fun change, and the new characters and abilities keep things fresh. The story dives into the origins of some of the series' most iconic characters, and the humor is top-notch. A must-play for any Borderlands fan looking for more of the chaos and fun we all love!

It's nowhere near as fun as the other Borderlands games. I'm really done playing it. Not worth investing time or money in this one.

i dont HATE it, but its one of the worst games in the franchise

Update, completed: Fuck Lilith. Fuck Sirens. Fuck that moron Handsome John/Jack/Jingleheimer Schmidt/who fucking cares what his name is. Look at my boy. Look at what they did to my boy. I wish I never played past Borderlands. B2 had a shit story, this pre-sequel is the same exact game 'but on the moon low gravity is cool k'. Haunted by that insufferable moron John/Jack/Jingleheimer Schmidt, because he wasn't annoying enough the fucking first time. I know that Jingleheimer Schmidt will haunt the rest of the series. I've suffered through too much, I must continue, I must see what B1 has mutated into. Fuck sirens. Weak ass annoying attention stealers. Vault hunters are like fucking sidekick wimps now, sucked out all the glory. It's like replacing Master Chief with Spartans Mark 69 Electric Boogaloo. The 'I think I'm funny but nobody else does' humor style has ruined the more tame slightly quirky humor of B1. It's the class clown who isn't actually funny at all. The hard borderlands were turned into 'pew pew pew' limp dong stuff. Can't even find a decent revolver these days. Fuck Lilith. Fuck sirens. What a boring 'n shit idea. ___ Open game. Open character select. "I literally just finished killing these assholes." Close game.

7/10 considering that this game used to be the black sheep of the series (before BL3 "exist" lmao), this game is alright as a borderlands 2.5, the fact that the community grows to love it as time goes on really shows that the game is overhated when it got released back then (borderlands 2 is just too good, anything after that just feels like shit, the hate is undeserved) the dark but funny story is cool, a lot of cool setup towards BL2, tho the characters besides handsome jack is kinda lame, the introduction of cryo element and slam, the skill tree is probably the most balanced and synergistic in the series. the only thing i hate about this game is that... this game isnt made with UVHM (Ultimate Vault Hunter Mode) in mind, the leveling balance is way off, the grind from 50 to 70 (max level cap) is the true definition of insanity, i almost lose my balls grinding it. overall i had a lot of fun playing this, its just an "Ok" video game

oz system sucks dick and is annoying and enemies jumping ontop of you and running at you at mock ten speeds makes this game suck ass not to mention the amount of times random knockbacks or mis timed jumps kill you any other bl is 100x better

This was a great installment of Borderlands. I may have liked it even more than Borderlands 3.

ADHD type of gameplay... rush all story-related missions... die alot because your level could not match the enemy's level... keep respawning... this is fast paced... so... anything you're missing on, Gearbox Software? it is alright... gotta give credit to "Assasin's Creed: Odyssey", though... it forced you to do all side-quests to gain EXP to be able to fight on tougher enemies in order to finish story-mode by Ubisoft... (only for some players) in game-money currency is made nearly worthless thanks to the game designers making it so you get better guns while fighting enemies or opening random biggest loot-containers without requiring a SHIFT-code aka via golden keys to cheat your way into getting stupid & pointless good looking/social status kind of vibe... feel-maker guns... "The Black Market" shop is only useful to have more slots in your backpack to carry more things... eh... it is okay to try new things for a start... i only have to spend money when im in dire need of ammo... the maps are too bigger that is only focused on "4 players only- CO-OP..." might as well tell your entire team to play "SNIPER-ONLY!" and voila... hardest game to finish? think again... they should not have made shotguns usable in this video game... "Borderlands" nickname is very fitting for this kind of theme anyways... NOTE: this review is about the game series in general... will take a peek at borderlands 4 when the time comes... to see if they learned anything from their prior experience...

DamnHate Presents the review for : Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (WITH SPOILERS) This game can be represented as " cowboy australians in space" and it wouldn't be wrong. Borderlands the Pre Sequel is the sequel (set in the past hence prequel) to borderlands 2. It presents forward how and why Handsome Jack is the way he is. That is the entire story. Gameplay: Gameplay wise the game doesn't differ much from previous versions, the same old 3 types of quests being present in every single game 2k Studio does. Kill quest Fetch quest (usually you have to kill something to find it) Puzzle quest (usually something as shooting an arrow to change the numbers, but you have to kill stuff to get to it) With the DLC's this game gets to around 40 hours (at most) of enjoyment. Now let's talk about the issues this game faces. The main issue of the game is... (drumrolls) being abandoned ! That is right , the developers have actually abandoned this game and focused mostly on producing content for the previous game (Borderlands 2) to pull as much money as possible. (If you don't believe me, this game has 5 DLC's while Borderlands 2 has 49) People have complained that this game differs too much (which is not completely true or false) to the other game, some have complained that it isn't any different which is also true. For example, what in the last game was called Slag and presented the advantage to do more damage to an enemy, now is replaced by ice effect which can freeze the enemy giving you more time to hit him and do more damage (I think). Yet, this game presents something unique, glitch weapons. In the Claptastic DLC (or something like that I don't remember the name) you get access to weapons with a GLITCH modifier that either makes the gun shoot all the bullets into 1, shoot all of them in a burst or make them do more damage (the gun changing the appearance with each modifier) making something like a sniper rifle turn into a burst assault rifle. Why would they pick "Ice" instead of "glitch" makes little to no sense to the overall direction of the game, you could make the story around Jack taking over the company at around 40% of the game and then changing the gun producing methods to result into glitched versions of the guns and make an entire DLC for ice guns set on let's say " a moon " or something else (rant over). Does the review seem to make no sense? Well, it is on purpose since the game also has the same problem as his parents. It makes no sense, the directive of redneck australian humour mixed with " oh no, this happened so you have to spend another hour to go around a door that happens to be locked which you can't open even if you have a rocket launcher that punches a hole thru the sun". Another issue this game suffers is pulling at straws, most quests not even taking so long if it wasn't for the plot (devs) overstaying the welcome of some jokes / gigs / quirks / whatever you want to call it. As a conclusion to this mess of a game, I can say this. If you laugh at jokes with the words " poop, piss " or you have the same IQ as a redneck from Alabama. This game will be your favorite. If you hate games where the gameplay keeps on dragging because the devs are lazy and greedy, then avoid this. I won't recommend this, final score, 4/10

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3445351211 Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel : I was hyped to be able to play as claptrap, I usually chose siren but there's no playable siren option for the Pre-Sequel. This is the only borderlands where I felt motion sickness, I don't know if its because of the ''game being played in space'' I usually feel like that with VR games. Anyways my partner changed a few things in the settings and it did help a bit.

I have somehow managed to play 3 borderlands games from 1, 2 to Pre-sequal and i have to say, this was one of the most boring. There are a few likable things like the environment, new types of guns, elements and most importantly new vault hunters that are hired by Handsome Jack. I have also heard that Claptrap has his own DLC, which seems to be great, although i do not own that atm. Some things i disliked. The story is straight forward as all those borderlands' games. You have to find the vault and open it, but nothing ever goes according to plans. Whilst you are doing the main missions, you simultaneously have to complete side-quests for some experience and then levels, but for some reason they just feel like chores. The voice acting is goofy, corny and weird. I, personally, do not dislike the accent, although, in this game, they somehow made me hate it. They talk too much, their voices are annoying and they are constantly in your head. Leveling up is also like exhausting. it took me nearly 30 hours to hit level 25 (barely hit that level too). Final bosses are great, but the amount of LVL i need to beat them is just insane. I must be around lvl28 to beat the final boss and that lvl would have taken me extra 5-6 hours, which i was not planning to put into this game, so, i modded the game to beat the last boss. I ended up playing as Nisha, who is some sort of a Cowboy, she was nice, but her ability would annoy me more than it would help me. It locks at random enemies, almost like Aim-lock, but most of the time, it was distracting me from hitting a boss. her voice-lines are also cringe, especially at the end, where she is almost flirting with Handsome Jack. Everything he does, even if it is a horrible deed, she is like "Oh my god, Jack, that was so hot, im am wet". That i did not appreciate. There were some minor bugs too, but nothing too significant. It just felt boring for me. Even borderlands 1 was much better. Only great thing about it, besides guns and atmosphere, was the story of Handsome Jack. You understand what kind of person he was and what became of him afterwards. You also get to know him at the deeper level, which will help you during the playthought of 2nd game. This story introduces the fact to what happened to his face and why he is wearing a mask. Overall, The game is dull, but the story was alright. I would give it 5/10

Some of the worst cringe ever created. Overly fake try hard ozzy accents. In Australia I guarantee I've never heard someone refer to fists as "Ya meathunks".

do true vault hunter mode so you can hear Tina talk over the whole story

I believe that this game is quite stupendously awesomely amazingly creative.

Get all achievements will be really annoying if its hard for you find friend for coop achievements, but I think its still a funny and easy game to get 100%. Some achievements that was annoying in Borderlands 2 (like complete all side quests, explore all locations, complete all challenges and raid bosses) are easier in Borderlands TPS. Talking about DLCs, The Holodome can be really easy if you have good weapons and high level, but its not a funny DLC to play, the CL4P-TP DLC is nice to play (just take care with the missable achievement).

It's ok, another borderland game but for some reason it feel way worse than 1 nad 2

Play this before bl2 or you get bored a lot. VH's alright excecpt athena

WORST GAME IN THE SERIES HORRIBLE CHECKPOINTS AND BAD SIDEQUEST AVAILABILITY. SKIP IT!!! FUCK THE PRE SEQUEL

Wants you to waive legal rights against the company in the future for any class action lawsuits or by the way they worded it, ANYTHING they may do in the future that you or they could sue for. This sort of thing should really be banned from steam. Its just like that disney plus scandal with that mans dead wife

It's aight. Worth it if you want to see Handsome Jack's turn to evil

me when the oz kit from level 3 is still the best one at several level later
