There's not a lot to work with when you're trying to make a comedy game but it's Clown World and your boss is woke faggot Randy Pitchford and your company cares about what the alphabet people on Resetera think, for some reason.
Pre-Sequel was a 2K cash grab farmed-out sequel that Gearbox had little to nothing to do with, along the same lines as BioShock 2. That’s why it feels like a bootleg Borderlands and doesn’t make sense with how characters like Jack are handled compared to the canon games.
I'm just going to skip it entirely. The first Borderlands game was fun enough, but I never managed to make it through the second one; something about it just perpetually annoyed me, which is probably why I ignored the PreSequel nonsense. With Randy Pitchford at the helm I feel no need to further partake in the franchise.
I think it was mostly the gunplay and the guns themselves. Overall, weapons didn't feel as accurate or as good to use like in the first game. Weapons in 2 were much quirkier, and I felt many of the quirks made weapons absolutely useless. I'd constantly find weapons that were in theory statistically superior to what I'd be using but have some oddity that made them inferior, like a pistol that uses more ammo when firing so I have to reload every two shots or an assault rifle that has to spin up to fire auto but then accuracy goes straight to hell.
To add to this I swear the aiming is off in the pre-sequel.
I think if you took out Handsome Jack the story would have sucked because basically everyone else is either annoying or boring (Or both) The game tries so hard to force its emotional stuff and I just don't care. I don't care about boring and lame Roland or some stupid bird thing getting killed. HJ is really the only compelling character in the game.
not gonna buy something i can get for free later. the ending and final boss are on youtube btw.
This is on par with what Interplay had in mind for Fallout Online: they had a place called Monkey Butt Mines.
