Some abilities are more unusual, like weapons that shoot out a rocket while you’re reloading them. Besides from the usual stats (damage, accuracy, and things like that), guns can deliver different types of elemental damage. While guns come in only so many types (shotgun, pistol, sniper, and such), a multitude of variables make each firearm stand out. Even the text that flashes on the screen upon completing quests contributes to the game’s great sense of humor.īorderlands 2’s marketing materials proudly proclaim that the game has “bazillions of guns.” While I didn’t actually count, I can confirm that the chests and corpses of Pandora spew out a “crapload” of munitions. Gearbox Software littered Pandora with quirky, memorable characters, including a 13-year-old demolitions expert and a grotesquely overweight mechanic. But Claptrap had me bursting in fits of laughter several times, with lines that I dare not spoil for you (besides, they’d lose their effect if you don’t hear them from his funny voice).Ĭlaptrap isn’t the only successful humorous aspect of Borderlands 2. The last that I can remember was Valve’s hilarious Portal 2. I experienced something that I call “so funny I have to pause.” This is the rare occurrence when a game gives me a case of the giggles so hard that I have to pause the action. The lovable little robot from the original Borderlands returns with an expanded role, especially in the early parts of your adventure. It may seem weird to devote so much of a review to a character who primarily serves as comic relief, but I freakin’ love Claptrap. Something’s gone right when you’ve spent 30 hours on a game and know that you could easily spend another 100. Borderlands 2 does exactly that, but with action that’s far less likely to get dull than the boring grind of turn-based battles. To me, the best RPGs smother their players in content. Simply put, I’m not good enough at math to properly calculate exactly how many hours you could spend playing Borderlands 2. If you still crave more, you can then replay the game with four classes, each with three different skill trees that alter their styles.īut I’m not done! After you beat the game, you unlock a harder difficulty to challenge your decked-out character. Now, add to that all of those extra missions, and you have an even longer experience.
Completing the story while doing only a fraction of the side quests takes about 30 hours.
