Хорошая часть, имеет одних из самых уникальных воултхантеров в серии
As far as Borderlands games go this one is pretty lame. The guns are as good as ever but that's hampered by low gravity movement that makes the entire game sluggish as well as a need to maintain O2 levels. It's also not as funny or interesting as other games in the series. I can't recommend it except for die-hard Borderlands fans who love the aesthetic. Replaying 2 is a better and cheaper option and of course 3 is great, too. Maybe 4, I haven't played it but it has to be better than this.
[b]Introduction :[/b] Borderlands: The Pre-Sequel, sorti en octobre 2014, est un spin-off développé par 2K Australia en collaboration avec Gearbox. Comme son nom l'indique, l'histoire se situe entre le premier et le deuxième opus et raconte l'ascension de Handsome Jack, le légendaire méchant de Borderlands 2, à l'époque où il n'était encore qu'un simple employé d'Hyperion. On incarne cette fois l'un des futurs sbires de Jack et on pose le pied sur Elpis, la lune de Pandore, ainsi que sur la station spatiale Helios. Le gros twist de gameplay : la faible gravité lunaire et la gestion de l'oxygène, qui transforment les gunfights habituels de la saga en affrontements bien plus verticaux. [b]Ce que j'ai aimé :[/b] [list] [*]🌙 La faible gravité change vraiment la donne, on bondit sur des dizaines de mètres et on peut écraser les ennemis en retombant, ça dynamise des fusillades qu'on connaissait par cœur [*]🤖 Claptrap jouable, c'est l'idée géniale du jeu : son arbre de compétences totalement aléatoire et imprévisible est un délire permanent pour qui aime le chaos [*]😂 L'humour reste la marque de fabrique Borderlands, les dialogues et l'accent australien des PNJ font mouche, on rigole franchement [*]❄️ Les armes laser et les dégâts de glace (cryo) sont une vraie nouveauté qui renouvelle l'arsenal et la façon de gérer les hordes [*]🎭 Voir l'origine de Handsome Jack et comprendre comment il bascule du « gentil » au tyran de BL2 est un régal pour qui a fait le 2 [*]💨 La gestion de l'oxygène ajoute une couche tactique, on cherche les bouches d'O2 et on utilise les double-sauts boostés pour se repositionner [*]🔫 Tout le loot-shooter qui fait l'ADN de la saga est là : des millions d'armes, du farm de boss, du coop quatre joueurs ultra addictif [/list] [b]Ce que j'ai moins aimé :[/b] [list] [*]🗺️ Les décors lunaires gris et répétitifs lassent vite, on regrette la variété visuelle de Pandore dans les autres opus [*]🐛 Techniquement le jeu reprend les qualités de BL2 mais aussi quasi tous ses défauts : crashs en plein combat, murs invisibles et bugs de menu sont encore là [*]🔁 Les allers-retours et le platforming en basse gravité, sympas au début, finissent par devenir pénibles sur la longueur [*]📦 Le contenu est plus court et moins riche que Borderlands 2, on sent le statut de « spin-off » et le budget moindre [*]🫁 La jauge d'oxygène vide trop souvent, devoir surveiller ça en permanence casse parfois le rythme des affrontements [/list] [b]Conclusion :[/b] The Pre-Sequel souffre forcément de la comparaison avec l'énorme Borderlands 2, mais ce serait une erreur de le bouder pour autant. La gravité lunaire et le cryo apportent un vrai vent de fraîcheur au gameplay, Claptrap jouable est un pur bonheur de délire, et plonger dans les origines de Handsome Jack ravira tous les fans de la saga. Oui c'est plus court, oui les décors manquent de variété, oui les vieux bugs traînent encore, mais le coeur loot-shooter est intact et en coop ça reste un défouloir redoutable. Avec 720h au compteur, autant dire que je l'ai retourné dans tous les sens. Pour un fan de Borderlands c'est un incontournable, surtout en promo ou dans la collection complète. Si tu débutes la saga, commence par le 2, puis reviens ici. [b]Note :[/b] ★★★★☆
It's a good game, I mean you get to play as CLAPTRAP, it's a great game, I mean you get to learn about Handsome Jack's backstory, and it's on Elpis

certainly my favorite game out of the borderlands franchise, all the vault hunters are fun to play, lasers were a neat addition, the movement is amazing. It's just a shame that 2K Australia got shut down before any more DLCs could come out, a LOT of missed potential in my opinion.
Purchased due to nostalgia from playing with my dad back in that day on PS3 (R.I.P the PSN store) & the steam deal and, I've come to the conclusion its my favorite BLS game, hands down.
Very much the most underrated borderlands games in my oppion id highly reccemend you try this. Also Jayney Springs is a cool character :D
Borderlands The Pre Sequel is a lot like the uncle you keep hearing about. You know the one. He cut off your family and lives a healthy, active and unique lifestyle, which your family keeps describing as boring or "the worst one in the family". The truth is that this is most likely overall, the most well rounded game in the series and it could have been even better than 2 if the studio was given time to finish all the DLC and content. The content that we did receive is, undoubtedly in my opinion the single best DLC in Borderlands history, the best story in the series and absolutely the best vault hunter lineup in the series and the rest dont even come close. This is really the only borderlands game ive played where I havent felt like one or two of the characters are bad. Yes, there is Wilhelm, but he isnt bad. The lineup is just so busted this time that hes the most normal out of all of them, and thats very usual for the introductory soldier class in all of the games. All of the characters are extremely fun to use and viable in the end game. And theyre all incredibly distinct and unique. The game introduces new mechanics that were quite overlooked or viewed negatively on release but now I think are viewed normally. New melee mechanics such as the slam, new weapons class such as the laser, the grinder which allows you to combine weapons and receive higher rarity weapons including legendaries, and the Zero G environment, which adds very fun and speedy movement using the oxygen kits that you find. And all of these are very fun features and they really felt fun after BL2. The DLC is the best in the series, alongside the story. The story is never anything to boast about in any of the borderlands games, but this time...magically, everything is fine. Funny jokes, funny characters with humor that isnt always screaming in your face, and the most character development in the series - all of your vault hunters have unique dialogue associated with them, and they are referred to with their names and not "VH" or "Killer". Overall, I felt quite happy with all the characters and was intrigued by them. The DLC is funny, fun to play, and very unique with the best boss fight in the series in my opinion. This is the only time that Claptrap is given semi serious character development and backstory, which i appreciate. Theres also some unique mechanics that dont add much, like oxygen and atmosphere. You can only light enemies on fire if they are in atmosphere, which you can trigger by activating an oxygen generator or going inside the building. Theres also the new Cryo element which is fun to use. Overall, I think this is a great game. The only qualm is its rather short, has only one raid boss, and the baseline bosses just arent that memorable apart from one or two. The game was unfortunately cut down before it could reach its prime, but it could have been the best. I love you pre sequel. im sorry others didnt. Men are born for games. Every child knows that play is nobler than work. And Borderlands The Pre-Sequel is a game that should be played, despite what some might say.
Very fun! More of the over the top situations and humor that make Borderlands so great!
