[ԡϨPapa|ℑϏ|ꞱᵝʛȜȝȜ]

don't they mean a prequel? these guys need to get their grammar right...lol making up words and ♥♥♥♥....FAQ!

Borderlands sequel Pre Borderlands 2, it is in the five years between them.

[ԡϨPapa|ℑϏ|ꞱᵝʛȜȝȜ]

yeah its called a "prequel" for boardlands 2 they could of called it "Borderlands 2 Prequel" Expansion for borderlands :} Pretty much what they're are calling with their made up word, is a sequel for the borderlands 2 before 3, a pre for the sequel..."pre-sequel"? but its a boardlands 2 prequel!

[trukr]

They could have called the "The Rise of Handsome Jack", but they called the "Borderlands The Pre-Sequel" to show it is between the two. Also, Borderlands 2 will not be needed to play it, so it can not be an expansion to it. It is both a sequel and a prequel.

^^ This. Hence the name pre-sequel. Sequel to Borderlands 1... prequel to Borderlands 2. It takes place between 1 and 2.

[elthandiel]

lol, what a strange complaint...

games:

1. Borderlands
2. Borderlands 2 (the sequel for those that don't follow numbers)
3. Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel (because the events in the game happen previous (PRE) to the sequel)

Borderlands 2: The Prequel would make sense.
Borderlands 2: The Pre-Sequel would not make any sense at all.

They are just playing on already established terms: sequel and prequel.

The thing is that most other developers would probably have named it Borderlands 2: the Prequel. In my opionion...calling it the Pre-Sequel actually fits in with the whole tongue-in-cheek nature of the Borderlands universe.

What is "grammer"? Is that a word you made up?

What is "boardlands"? I'm not familiar with whatever that is, so it's hard for me to understand your argument.

They're trying to be funny which they are not anymore, they think they still are but the jokes keeps getting lame and wtf is that ♥♥♥♥♥♥ dance at the end, SMH.

[DarklordKyo]

As mentioned multiple times before, it basically refers to the fact that, chronologically, it's Borderlands 1 1/2.

[Snakester]

if it were a prequel to borderlands 1 than yes it would be called the prequel, but this game is set inbetween the 2 games, it makes more sense calling it Pre-Sequel rather than prequel.

[jeffy]

they give it a unique name because............ of marketing techniques and a play on words....

[Hamstermancer]

They gave it a funny name because it was funny. I laughed at least twice, which is two times more than I would have chuckled if they had named it "Borderlands 2: The Prequel."

Complains about companies messing with grammar as an obvious joke, uses "FAQ" as a swear word...

I thought he was just bringing up something he read on an FAQ about the game.
