Best game ever <3

Best game ever!

"Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive."

Set at a point between Borderlands and Borderlands 2, four aspiring Vault Hunters fight alongside Handsome Jack, witnessing his transformation into the ruthless tyrant people loved to hate in Borderlands 2, and inadvertently assisting with the rise of the Hyperion Corporation and his position within it.

My rating system consists of six categories in descending order of importance:

- Atmosphere
- Characters
- Details
- Tactical demand
- Story
- Combat & Controls

Based on the performance each category will receive one of the following grading:

- S-Rank: excellent
- A-Rank: very good
- B-Rank: solid
- C-Rank: satisfactory
- D-Rank: inferior

In case of an S-Rank rating, a game reference will be included in brackets as a token of my respect.

Atmosphere: S-Rank

(You make me so proud, minion. The way you're carrying on my fight against Sentinel and 5H4D0W-TP. It brings a tear to my eye. A figurative one, of course. The saline content of actual tears would rust my eye quicker than you could say 'tetanus shot’.)

Characters: S-Rank

(When Claptrap speaks, I feel my brain cells committing suicide one by one.)

Details: S-Rank

(Did I mention I don’t have a medical license?)

Tactical demand: S-Rank

(If it took more than one shot, you weren't using a Jakobs!)

Story: S-Rank

(With the Sentinel defeated, Jack enters the Vault and greets the Vault Hunters, but finds no item of value, other than a mysterious symbol floating midair. As he attempts to interact with it, the symbol then shows Jack a vision of the Warrior awakening. However, the vision is interrupted by Lilith, who phasewalks in front of him and punches through the Vault symbol, burning it onto Jack's face. She then disappears, leaving Jack behind with the Vault Hunters. Jack, having gone insane from the vision as well as Lilith's attack, swears vengeance on her, and all the "bandits" on Pandora. Realizing that the hero who once saved her on Helios is no more, Athena leaves Jack's employ.)

Combat & Controls: S-Rank

(1337 H4XZ00R!)

To conquer all achievements of Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, you will most likely spend more than 100 hours. You have to play the single-player campaign several times, due to challenges like ‘That Helped, Right?’ and ‘Executioner’. ‘Challenger’ is a typical grind achievement.

‘The Duelist’, ‘Mouth To Mouth’ and ‘Who you gonna call?’ are the only multiplayer achievement and quite simple to obtain.

‘The Bigger They Are’ will take the most time, because it requires a character around level 50 or higher. The achievements of the two DLCs are straight forward and easy enough to get with a high level character.

Achievement difficulty: 9 of 10

Special:

- The Bigger They Are [+1]
- Executioner [+1]

Estimated time for 100 % completion: +100 hours

"Do not take life too seriously. You will never get out of it alive."

A unique FPS experience and a worthy successor of Borderlands. Compared with its predecessor everything has become a little bit crazier and better.

(Hey kiddo. Jack here - President of Hyperion. Lemme explain how things work here: Vault Hunter shows up. Vault Hunter looks for the new Vault. Vault Hunter gets killed. By Me. See the problem here? You're still alive. So, if you could just do me a favor and off yourself that'd be great. Thanks, Pumpkin.)

(CATCH A RIIIIIDE!)

To conquer all achievements of Borderlands 2, you will most likely spend more than 120 hours. You have to play the single-player campaign several times, due to challenges like ‘So Much Blood’ and ‘Unseen Predator’. ‘Challenge Accepted’ is a typical grind achievement.

‘Friendship Rules’ is the only multiplayer achievement and quite simple to obtain.

‘Thresher Thrashed’ will take the most time, because it requires a character around level 52 or higher. The achievements of the four DLCs are straight forward and easy enough to get with a high level character.
