Standard or GOTY Edition?

[hot dicks in gulag]

Hello everyone, I have never played any of the borderlands games before, however I find the trailers, gameplay videos and recommendations appealing. The game is currently on sale, and I don't know whether to buy the standard Borderlands 2 or the GOTY edition. I also don't know what DLC's are including/How good they are...

TL;DR: Standard or GOTY and are the DLC's any good?

[Flomaticc]

Get the Game of The Year Borderlandds 2 Edition with all DLC. I bought it and it was worth. Online matchmaking is full of people and groups to join! Its awesome. add me if you want to play.

Get the GOTY version, and also the Vault Hunter Upgrade pack #2, which isn't included in the GOTY.
The upgrade pack #2 was developed and released after the GOTY was released, which is why it is not included in the GOTY.
What does it do? It increases the character cap to from 61 to 72 (+ 8 Over Power levels. Effectively 73 to 80)
This is all you need to get the maximum out of the game.

There are the Headhunter DLC's which are quite fun - The Mercenary Day one is a great source of loot, and is repeatable.

The reset of the DLC's are all cosmetic skins. Get them only if they are important to you.

Okay, thanks z00t and Flomaticc. Does the game feel grindy in the beginning aswell, or is it only in the lategame?

[z00t]

Not sure what you mean by grindy. Some parts can be a bit boring, some of the challenges can be a bit tedious to complete. I guess it depends on your boredom threshold.

You shouldn't buy either of those versions.

This contains ALL non-cosmetic DLC (unlike GOTY), for the best price around ($12) even during a Steam sale. Gives Steam keys, which grant Windows, Mac, and Linux versions.

Like everyone said, get the GOTY version of BL2, and get Ultimate Vault Hunter Pack 2 dlc as well ( it isn't inclueded in goty ). This is what you "must have".

If you really want to have the "Complet Edition" of BL2, and don't care about skin and head packs, buy all 5 Head Hunter Packs too. Short campaign add-ons but fun.

There is no risk. I thought I clearly stated it gives Steam keys for 3 computer platforms. I sincerely do not understand why people continually ignore this deal and keep buying GOTY. You're getting less content for more money with GOTY.

I see you already have the game, but for future info. When you get a game on Steam, you can then use it on any platform the game is available on. Borderlands 2 is available on PC, Linux and Mac, buy once play on any or all of the three. So buying at a Mac store is the same as here, the only thing I think that changes is who gets what money.

I got it for 8€, so it doesn't really make a difference... + I didn't see it was on Steam, so..

WHAT has that to do with this? All I did was explain that Steam keys from a Mac store for this game work on all platforms. You can't get a none Steam Borderlands 2 other than pirated, even the boxed game has to be activated on Steam.

Pardon the fuq out of me for trying to give helpful information.

No good deed goes un-punished.
